2001 Tiara 3500 Open

Response: Possibly, but it depends on expected delivery date. How long does it take you to drive from Naples Florida to Tucson AZ? (11/20/2007)

Response: I would load on the Monday and deliver Friday, with a load like this, you really can't travel more than 600 miles a day. I only have the second week of January open, we are booked for the rest of this year and the last two weeks of January. (11/20/2007)

Response: Sorry but I'm a little confused as to the days. Do you mean you would load it on Monday Dec. 31st and deliver by Friday Jan 4th? Or do you mean Jan 7th to load and deliver on the 11th? If you mean the 7th and 11th, that's too late for us. (11/20/2007)

Response: Hi, I would load on Monday the 7th and deliver on the 11th around noon. Do you think that would work? (11/20/2007)

Response: No sorry, the dates won't work for us. (11/20/2007)

Response: I see the dates want, what flexibility do you have? (11/20/2007)

Response: I am going to send the broker and email right now with our offer on the boat. He will have to email a contract to us hopefully by tomorrow. Anyway, we will go with your company if everything goes through, which we are 90% sure that it will. What is our next step? Will you be sending us a bill of lading and proof of insurance? I believe you mentioned that if we pay 50% to you when the boat is loaded that you will deduct 5% off of your bill? Is this correct? Thank you, Debbie (11/20/2007)

Response: I guess I didn't get the question but I do have 300,000 cargo insurance as well as 1,000,000.00 primary Liability.Tduncan55(ThomasDuncanTrucking) (11/20/2007)

Response: This is how I understand the procedure. Upon accepting your bid I will put a deposit down with u-ship. They in turn will provide you with my contact information. What happens IF we can't make a deal on this boat and you have already blocked time out for us? The ONLY reason we would reject the boat is if there is something mechanically wrong with it upon completion of tests we will have done. Will our deposit be refunded to us and will there be a charge from you because we would have to cancel? (11/21/2007)

Response: I beleive uship will refund the deposit if something happens to your deal.We can not share email or other info until you accept the bid.they will red flag me and could kick me off the website.I understand the situation,I hope it works out.tduncan55 (11/21/2007)

Response: I don't totally agree with your statements. First of all we already have "tentative" dates with surveyors etc.,which we've arranged early enough that gives the shipper plenty of time to get another shipment if mine falls through. My husband has already looked at the boat and we are dealing with a VERY reputable broker who we are comfortable dealing with.Our broker told us we need 3 weeks to close and it could be sooner. As I've already told tduncan55, the ONLY reason we would NOT purchase this boat is if there are engine/mechanical problems which we don't anticipate because of the condition of the vessel. I appreciate your concerns but if tduncan55 or any other shipper is willing to "tentatively" schedule my shipment, I believe that is their choice to do so. Also, no financing is involved, it will be a cash deal. Thank you for your interest. (11/21/2007)

Response: Hi, I all was trying to express to you was that in the marine trades, things very seldom go as planed, and the way you were planning this needed a little more consideration, I am not just a truck driver, I am a bussiness owner I have exstensive experiance in this field. I am not saying you won't pull it off, it is just the odds are against you. (11/21/2007)
