Question: Shipper could you tell me which boarder crossing this would be? I believe it would be Sault Ste Marine would that be correct. thanks (4/7/2008)
Response: No, it would be Port Huron (north of Detroit), Buffalo or Niagara Falls to the final destination at Twelve Mile Bay of Georgian Bay, Ontario. Thanks (4/7/2008)
Response: Shipper would this drop off location be called Mactier? also do you have a way to load and off load? thanks ddonaldson Marine Transport (4/20/2008)
Response: Yes. There is arrangements made for loading and I will be present for off loading at Moose Deer Marina on Twelve Mile Bay Road. It's south of Mactier...Mactier is the closest town. So I will look after any costs for loading and off loading.
Thank you, (4/20/2008)
Response: Shipper thank you for your response . I will bid now accordingly. thanks ddonaldson Marine Transport (4/20/2008)
Question: Hi shipper, I could get this to it's final destination in Canada for you. I need to know the postal code for mapping purposes, also is it possible for you to meet me at the nearest border crossing for customs purposes?, and when do you need to have this done? Thanks. (4/8/2008)
Response: Hi There,
The postal code is P0C 1H0. I could meet you in Buffalo or Niagara Falls with documentation for customs. I want to finilize my deal this week and fly down for a water test first or second week of May then ship when possible for you I will be flexable in May. (4/8/2008)
Response: OK, sounds good. I'm dropping a load in Burk's Falls this weekend, then another to Penatanguishine on the 8th of May(I'm familiar with the area- origionally from there). I have a load going back to Fl. to drop no later than the 14th, and should be able to load yours then. I expect I should be able to unload no later than the 19th for you. I see you have bids all over the place on here. I feel I should give you a breakdown to justify the cost of this trip so you can make an informed decision. My bid will include fuel, tolls, permits thru the states and Ontario, insurance to 100K,I don't include load/unload fees. Miles approx. 1600, .62/mile for fuel, $992..32/mile(last years #'s) op.expenses, $512. 4days pay $165/day, $660. 4days food/motels $110.00/day, $440. Permits and tolls thru 9 states/prov. approx. $500.00. The total is $3104.00. My bid will be $3250.00, but won't bid until I hear from you. I don't want to have a problem with overbooking. Thanks- please read my profile. (4/8/2008)
Response: Your request is almost $1,400.00 more then I can get it to Port Huron. With that difference I can go there to pick it up then by water go north on Lake Huron to Tobermory, Ontario and east across Georgian Bay to Twelve Mile Bay its final, distination, which would save me a good part of the differance. What do you think? Is there any way to redduce your expenses? I am willing to go higher and I can be flexible. (4/15/2008)
Response: I will go as low as $3000.00 total- no added expense for insurance to $100K. etc., or anything else(read Profiles of bidders-I AM A LEGAL CARRIER-WITH INSURANCE),I can't go any lower than this and stay in business, I'm sure you understand. Let me know, thanks. By the way, I still have the week of the 21st available. (4/16/2008)
Response: Your price includes everything to Twelve Mile Bay? It should be ready next week, when would you have it there by? Thanks (4/17/2008)
Response: That's the full price- you pay load/unload fees. I will be able to have her there no later than May 20/21. Could be as much as a week earlier than this- depends on scheduling a backhaul. Let me know if this is all good and I will formally bid for your acceptance, Thanks John. (4/17/2008)
Response: Sorry I was away a few days. The boat is ready for pick-up can you do it sooner?? (4/20/2008)
Response: I am booked thru the the middle of May, might be able to speed it up a bit, but the quickest would possibly be pick up around the 12th-14th , and deliver that week. I will contact that owner to see if i can bump him up a bit. Either way, I'll bid now for your acceptance ASAP for scheduling. It's a VERY busy season right now, so you may want to accept quickly, as I do have others out there looking to move theirs' as well. Thanks (4/20/2008)
Question: Thank you for the request to bid again, When are you wanting to move your craft? Are we still looking at Detroit, MI? (4/15/2008)
Response: Yes Port Huron area north of Detroit, that will do...However my prefferance is Georgian Bay. (4/15/2008)
Response: What dates? (4/15/2008)
Response: A sea trial and marine survey is being done early next week, so I would think that anytime after the end of next week works. (4/15/2008)
Question: I can deliver it to your home in ON. I am A LEGAL AND FULLY INSURED CARRIER. Please let me know if your interested in my services and what your timeframe is. I am very experienced in importing into Canada. That is 98% of my business dealings. Thanks. Jeremiah (4/15/2008)
Response: That works for me...it may be ready as soon as middle or end of next week. What further do you need to know from me? Is it okay by you? (4/15/2008)
Response: Can you give me 2 weeks? I'm on the west coast running shipment into BC & Alberta. Would need time to get all the way down to FL. Thanks. Jeremiah (4/15/2008)
Response: How soon will it be possible to pick-up and deliver can you give me aprox. dates? What is total price? What do you need from me? (4/17/2008)
Response: Also to make you aware you boat is overwidth an will require permits in each state. That adds to the cost of the shipment. (4/15/2008)
Response: two weeks is okay...what about the permits you talk about? I believe it is 9'6 beam. (4/15/2008)
Response: Any load over 8'6" wide or 13'6" tall requires oversize permits. (4/15/2008)
Response: Hi, Sorry I have been having computer problems. I'm not sure but did you answer my last question? I was asking if my target price is good for you and I also wanted to let you know that the boat is ready for pick-up this week. Are you still interested? (4/20/2008)
Response: I can't do next week. I am headed to Winnipeg, MB and will arrive in the morning. I then need to take a Travel Trailer from Minnesota to Nanaimo, BC then head to east coast. I am still about 2 weeks out. I need to look @ the mileage on your trip to let you know if the target price is reasonable. Thanks. Jeremiah (4/20/2008)
Response: Could you please let me know within the next 24 hours. I would like to accept a bid by the next two days. Thank you (4/20/2008)
