Response: If my son was to ship 2 rooms of furniture and
his Harley..This is what he says.
1 king bed and frame
middle section of a sectional couch
1 book shelf - 2 shelves
3 end tables
a small desk (aprox. 4 x 2)
2 l/r chairs
a 2 person couch
a 3 person couch
aprox. 3 large u haul boxes
We are thinking about the middle of April. How long do you think it would take to arrive? His rent is paid through the end of April. (3/30/2009)
Response: thanks for the message, i am very interested in your shipment. my ideal time to pick up would be between the 11th and 15th of April with a delivery 6 to 10 days from pick up date.
i'm on the road right now and have stopped momentarily to read your message. i'll be stopping tonight and will definitely get back to you with a quote. I would love to earn your business and let me know if those dates sound like they'd work for you.
Tim/SBM INC (3/30/2009)
Response: Hi Tim: When you figure your estimate don't include the couches. The dates are OK with us.
Look forward to hearing from you. (3/30/2009)
Response: Hello , let me just go over this with you real quickly before I give you a quote, that way I can provide you with my most accurate quote. These are the items to be moved as I understand it.
1.) 2007 Harley Davidson #621 Lbs, 2.) 1 king bed and frame to include mattress and box spring?, 3.) middle section of a sectional couch, 4.) 1 book shelf - 2 shelves, 5.) 3 end tables, 6.) small desk (aprox. 4 x 2) 7.) #2 living room chairs (ARE THESE OVER STUFFED CHAIRS), 8.) 3 large u haul boxes. I left out the 2 couch's as you requested, but I kept in the middle part of the sectional couch you mentioned. Just look this over and if it looks like I've got it correct, please let me know and I will give you a quote at that time. Thank You Very Much For Your Time. I Look Forward To Hearing From You. Is your son in the Military?
TIM/SBM Inc. (3/30/2009)
Response: I don't think the chairs are overstuffed. I will check with my son later and will let you know
this evening. My son is not military;however,
my husband is a disabled veteran. I'll be in touch tonight. Thanks. (3/31/2009)
Response: So I have all the rest of the information correct except the os chairs? If I do I can go ahead and get a quote worked up. One last thing will there be help at the p/up or delivery with loading and unloading that always helps out on price if there's help. Just let me know when you get the time and I'll get the quote off to you. Sorry for all the questions, but with it all being done through emails it's kind of hard to make sure all the bases are covered. I look forward to hearing from you.
TIM/SBM Inc. (3/31/2009)
Response: My son will be there to help you load
the truck and should be there to help unload. (3/31/2009)
Response: OK that sounds good. Thank You For Your Help. I'll work this quote up soon. I have to run a few errands but I'll be back before long and I'll work this up for you. Thanks TIM/SBM Inc.. (3/31/2009)
Response: Hi Tim. My son just called and told me the chairs are small chairs, not overstuffed. Also I don't remember if I told you he wants to add his
32" TV and a dog crate, which comes apart.
I hope this answers all your questions. We're going out tonite but will check email when we get back. Thanks. (3/31/2009)
Response: I'm working on your quote right now. I'm not sure what a dog crate is but it cant be that big. Is it something you carry a dog in? You hadn't told me about the T.V but that's no problem, is the t.v a conventional or a flat screen type? I hope you enjoyed your evening out. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. Thank You ! TIM/SBM Inc. (3/31/2009)
Response: I forgot to include the 3 boxes. Sorry. (4/1/2009)
Question: Hello Nancy, Here is what I have: 1.) 2007 Harley Davidson #641 Lbs, 2.) 1 king bed and frame to include mattress and box spring?, 3.) middle section of a sectional couch, 4.) 1 book shelf - 2 shelves, 5.) 3 end tables, 6.) small desk (approx. 4 x 2) 7.) #2 small living room chairs, 8.) 3 large u haul boxes. 9). 32" TV, 10). Dog crate (Breaks down). The miles are Approx 2300 miles all items will be wrapped in professional moving quilts and Motorcycle will have ONLY SOFT TOUCH straps used on it from all four corners of the Motorcycle, anchored into E-tack. No extra charge for lift gate use or residential delivery, like the others charge. My quote for these items listed, and shipped from MT to NC is $1595.00. The normal quote for these shipments, this size is typically $1.00 a mile = $2300 (it's the industry standard), but your son will be there to help load and unload, and your husband is a disabled veteran you stated, which makes you eligible for my Military Discount of 15% as well. (3/31/2009)
Question: I'll be on the road driving until later tonight so please write me if your interested and I will get back to you when I stop this evening.
Thank You
TIM (4/1/2009)
Response: Hi Tim. Can you please call us so we can discuss this further. A two way conversation is easier than back and forth e-mail. We will be around any time after 2:00 eastern time. [phone number removed - Once a bid is accepted, both parties’ contact info will be exchanged.] (4/1/2009)
Response: I'll be online for another hour or so. If you have any questions in the next hour please ask. I'll be online later tonight after 9pm eastern time most likely. I'm in SD at this time. THANKS TIM (4/1/2009)
Response: I forgot to include the 3 cartons in your bid.I already sent this but don't know if it was sent.
(4/1/2009)
Question: I'm sorry Nancy but they won't allow any phone calls till the bid is accepted. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have though. It's the Uship rules. I apologize for how difficult u ship makes this. (4/1/2009)
Response: Tim, I did not know that phone contact was not OK.
If we remove all the furniture and only ship::
l.the bike
2.the 32" tv, which is not a flat screen
3. the dog crate which is in pieces.
what would the charge be. My son is very strong and will be available to help you load and unload.
Can we extend the bid date. It is difficult for me to make a decision by tomorrow.
Thanks (4/1/2009)
Response: Hello Nancy, Ok 1) The Bike, 2) 32" TV, 3) Dog crate, 4) The 3 Large uhaul Bxs.... As far as loading the bike goes I have a lift gate so that helps out big time. I can ship these items to NC for $750.00. Door To Door. As I stated before I have NO HIDDEN costs in for the shipment, and I don't charge for lift gate use or residential delivery like the rest do. Do you want me to cancel the other bid ($1595 BID)I have active now ,and bid the 750.00. Just let me know Nancy.
Thank You Very Much
TIM/SBM. (4/1/2009)
Response: Yes, please cancel the $1595 bid. You are indicating that the drop off is NC. It is
Seaford, Virginia 23696. Please let me know if it's the same price. Thanks. (4/1/2009)
Response: My apologies for my typo with the destination. I knew it was VA but typed NC for some silly reason. It is $750.00, I had everything correct except my state abbreviations. I'll cancel my $1595 bid and submit my bid for $750.00 at this time.
Thank You Nancy
TIM/SBM Inc. (4/1/2009)
Question: Hello Nancy this is Tim with Strictly Business Moving Inc. I'll be on the road most of today 4/2/09 driving , and I won't be back on the computer till late tonight. I'll get on line as soon as I stop and get into a room,but my truck doesn't have a lot of room left for this trip east, and I'm sure my truck space will be sold out by the end of today 4/2/09. When I'm driving and bids are accepted I get notified by my cell phone, and once My quota is met I cancel all other bids so I don't get over booked for the shipment east. I hope to earn your business. My bid is good until the end of today 4/2/09 @ 11PM. There is a good chance I could get my truck sold out before the expiration time of 11PM tonight, because I have many active bids and it's on a first come basis, but I would like to ship your sons bike and other items for you, and with the Military discount I gave you on this, no one will beat my shipping quote price. I hope to work with you. TIM/SBM Inc. (4/2/2009)
