Question: I can bring thses chickens north for you for 230.00. If the price is ok or, you have any questions, please let me know. I'll wait to place a bid until hearing from you. Thank you, Jerry TurboJ Transport (8/30/2009)
Response: Did you read the comments about they need to be in air conditioning, not in the back of a pick up truck, heat will kill them very quickly as well as loud scaring noises also affect birds, they can die of heart attacks, as long as you can meet those requirements the money is fine with me. They are a rare breed of Bantam that are only raised by 6 other people in the country. And where they are located at, I will have to get hold of the woman and let her know to expect you ahead of time, she also has a business and does deliverys 3 days a week, so setting up a time would have to be to her schedule, I have an e-mail address for her and a phone number, although she screens calls and doesn't always answer right away, so advance planning would be necessary, I see you have good feedback which helps. I have never done the UShip before, so have no idea how this all works for bidding and such. When do I actually get to speak with you? and exchange information?
(8/30/2009)
Response: I transport in a mini van with front and rear a/c. i would be picking them up Sept 11th or 12th. We cant speak via phone until a bid is accepted, which I havent left yet. Can you tell me what days of the week the hen would have to be dropped off > (8/30/2009)
Response: Actually any day dropping off to me would be fine, I didn't get to ask you how far north into Ohio you was coming. So I will need to check with the woman to see if the 11th or 12th is going to work for her and at what time of the day she is going to be available. I also need to check with her for having boxes for them to be in, I don't want them in the same box as even with airconditioning their feathers will hold too much heat, I will also check to see that whatever boxes she uses for them that they have holes in the sides of the boxes for air flow. They can't be shipped via airlines right now, and the last birds she shipped the airport kept for 3 days and then contacted her and told her they couldn't ship them, 3 birds died, so that is why she won't ship. They will need water during the trip, I'll find out from her about giving you food I also didn't know how many days you was going to take to do the trip. I work Sunday thru Thurs days,I work over on Mon & Tues.They are in Pace. (8/30/2009)
Response: your right, putting the 10th was a mistake. I wont be there till the 11th maybe the 12th, sorry about that. I was talking with another client in Ocala at the time and mixed the dates . Jerry (9/1/2009)
Response: Hi Jerry I don't know if you go my last message or not, I have windows mail and yahoo mail and sent it thru windows mail which came back saying there was errors, so am trying to get in touch with you thru my yahoo mail program now, I haven't saw another bid with the corrected dates come thru yet, I saw where the one bid was cancelled and am waiting for the right one to accept the bid, or do I got to somewhere else in the uship to find it? Help, I'm confused, and am looking for the bid to respond to.
Victoria (9/1/2009)
Response: Go to uship, you should have a message page or, go to the page where your shipment is listed, Ive never accpted a bid before, only sent them. But you should find it there. (9/1/2009)
Question: if I pick them up the 11th or 12th, drop off would be 24 to 36 hours later. I can supply wire crates with padded bottoms, free air flow thru them. Food would need to supplied for. Once you confirm with her I will leave abid for 230.00. Once that bid is accepted we will be given each others contact info, and then are free to communicate via the phone and or email. I do have other bids out now, so please get back to asap, as I only carry a few animals at a time. Thank you, Jerry (8/30/2009)
Response: I just sent her an e-mail, letting her know the 11th or 12th for pick up and what her schedule would be like for those days, so since its late I am guessing I will hear something from her by tomorrow, I will be back online tomorrow evening about this time, so will get back with you just as soon as I get a response from her and get home from work, Mondays a late day for me off around 8pm, hope that will be soon enough for letting you know. If she doesn't e-mail me tomorrow I'll try calling her when I get home from work. (8/30/2009)
Response: Ok, sounds good. I'm online all the time, hope to hear from you tomorrow, Jerry (8/30/2009)
Response: Hi Jerry,
I didn't get home until late after 9 o'clock, and so far haven't received an e-mail from her, I should be home from work earlier tomorrow, and I can try and call her tomorrow and see if I get thru to her, when I get off work I'll be checking to see if she's e-mailed me back and will e-mail you what I find out from her.
Victoria (8/31/2009)
Response: Ok, let me know when you hear something. Jerry (8/31/2009)
Response: Hi Jerry,
I didn't go to work today and did get hold of her, she said the 11th and 12th was good for her and should be home both days from her current schedule.
Victoria (9/1/2009)
Response: Hi Victoria, I send you a bid, I have to run off and take care of a few things this afternoon, should you accept the bid I left I'll call you tonight about 8:00pm your time. Thanks, Jerry (9/1/2009)
Response: Hi Jerry,
I saw on your bid you put the dates as the 10th &11th, I thought you said the 11th & 12th, I asked her about the 11th & 12th, on the 10th she'll be working making deliverys, I'm trying to call her now to see if the 10th will work, so I need to talk to her again before I can accept the bid and she just got off the phone with me and said she had to go, so it's gonna be a while before I can get her again, all I get is voice mail right now. I do have a cell phone mumber for her which she said you would want to have to get hold of her for sure because she shares a driveway with someone else and everyone goes to the wrong house, and can't see hers from the road, she said its behind the other house. As soon as I get hold of her I'll post again.
Victoria (9/1/2009)
Response: I fixed those dates, aagain, sorry abouth that. Jerry (9/1/2009)
Response: Hi Jerry,
Did you put another bid out with the 11th and 12th on it yet? If you did it hasn't made it to my Inbox so that I can accept it. I'm trying to watch for it. I saw the one bid cancelled before this e-mail, and haven't saw another one yet. She never e=mailed me back about the 10th, I just know she said she was making deliverys on the 10th so don't know if she's flexible with being around her place or not, probably would depend on the time you would be getting there, if the 10th would need to be considered.

Response: Yes, I sent a new bid this afternoon, right after I canceled the 1st one, its showing on my side.. I'm showing 2 bids, 1 "canceled by service provider".. and 1 "active". You dont have it? (9/1/2009)
Response: The one I have is saying cancelled and also active, two are showing, maybe I need to click on bid details, I haven't done that yet, and will right now to see if this is the one I'm supposed to respond to. Gheez, sorry, I have two mail programs up and your response to me just came tru on the yahoo one and not the windows one.
Victoria (9/1/2009)
Response: I have gotten all you messages, wish I could be more help. Have you had any luck finding a place to accept the bid ? Jerry (9/1/2009)
Response: Okay I found it, it was in the one with cancelled, I have dial up service, so its slow for me to get information, I'll be accepting your bid, I see it offers Paypal and credit card for transactions, I want to go thru paypal, I hope that's okay with you, I have a couple transactions out and need to deposit into my account, I just pulled up my Bank info, I should have deposited today and didn't leave, I'll do a deposit tomorrow afternoon after I get off work, so I'll wait to do the Paypal until tomorrow afternoon, hope that is okay, at any rate I'm letting you know now that I will be accepting your bid for sure. I also need to know about the balance, do I just pay you when they arrive and can I pay you in cash or do I have to do a transaction thru credit card, or how is it normally handled?
Victoria (9/1/2009)
Response: what you are paying is uship, that has nothing to do with me, you owe uship about 30.00 the rest is due to me,you can pay that when I drop the hens to you, Jerry (9/1/2009)
Response: Okay, I just wanted to make sure, I didn't know how this worked totally, so cash is fine with you.
I have a ground payment that hasn't cleared my account yet, I'll check my account again when I get up around 5 in the morning, if it hasn't cleared by then, I'll go ahead and do the Paypal then, if not, I'll do the paypal for the uship after I get off and deposit more funds into my account, so I just wanted to let you know what I've got going on, I don't want to throw my ground payment out and cost myself overdraft fees if I don't have to, so hope its okay with you if I do have to wait until after work tomorrow for me doing the response to your bid, like I said put me on your schedule definately because I am accepting your bid.
Victoria (9/1/2009)
Response: Ok, but lets not talk about payments on here, to many eyes can see, and if we say the wrong things we can be kicked off the site for a few days. There are service providers on here who will report any violation they see. Jerry (9/1/2009)
Response: I see now that what I was asking about transactions is already answered in the information on the site, I just didn't look far enough for the information, sorry for the unnecessary questions.

Response: No problem, talk to you sometime tomorrow. Jerry (9/1/2009)
