Questions for this shipment: 

Question: is that really 26 feet, or should it be inches? (10/8/2009)
Response: sorry, major typo - thanks for letting me know each box is 2 ft by 2 ft by 2 ft (10/9/2009)
Question: when is your pick up date ? (10/11/2009)
Response: I'm flexible with the date. Until I arrange shipping I can't set the purchase of the cotton into motion. The first week of Nov would be the earliest and I could go as late as the first week of Dec. If any of these dates would work for you, please bid. (10/12/2009)
Question: Is this shipment still available? Can the boxes be shrink-wrapped and palletized? Chris- (10/30/2009)
Response: Yes it is still available. I've asked the seller to palletize the boxes but I can't be sure they will (my gut is they will for me). If they are palletized they will fit on two pallets. (10/30/2009)
Response: Do you know what the dimensions will be on the pallets if they are palletized? This will help me determine the density and class of the shipment. Getting the pallets shrink wrapped and palletized will get you more bids on this shipment. Besides, if you find someone that can move them (non-palletized), you can always break the pallets down. You should push for it. Chris- (10/30/2009)
Response: I've been told it is class 85 by SAIA. The pallets in question are 48" x 40" x 98" (height might vary 3-6 inches). I should know in about a week if they are palletized. Thanks for the questions. (10/30/2009)
Response: To move the items via a standard truck you will have to make sure the height on the pallets is not higher than 100 inches. Higher than that will not fit into a truck.(105"). If you can fit the cotton onto 2-3 pallets, this shipment could be moved easily. Chris- (10/31/2009)
Response: Height shouldn't be a problem. I listed 98" tall (plus or minus 3-6") because I don't know what the pallet height will be. The boxes are 22.5" tall (stacked 4 rows high equal 90 plus pallet height). Any interest in bidding? (11/1/2009)
Response: My bid is listed below, When are you looking to move this freight? Chris- (11/2/2009)
Question: Are you still looking to move this Freight? tTanks, Chris (11/3/2009)
Question: Hello, do you need this shipment moved still? We'll place a bid asap. (11/13/2009)
Response: Yes - please bid. Thank you. (11/14/2009)
Question: Can you tell me if the destination is a residence adress or a business one ? thank you (11/17/2009)
Response: residence but I'm open to picking it up from a local terminal to avoid having the trouble of a residence delivery (11/17/2009)
