Questions for this shipment: 

Question: (5/2/2008)
Response: Will like to insure the freight for $100,000 if the cost of the insurance will not be prohibitive. (5/2/2008)
Question: Good day. This is my first time visiting this web site. My company is located in Dayton, Ohio. We have been in the moving business since 1916 and have been providing International relocations since 1960. I am currently working a quote for you. I apologize for not having completed my profile; again, this is new to me. Rest assured, my quote will be competitive and you will be happy with our service. 90+ years in the business doesn't happen by mistake. (5/2/2008)
Response: Looking forward to your quote, please. (5/2/2008)
Question: Will you load the container whilethe driver waits or do you need it dropped and picked up? Will the consignee clear customs and arrange for delivery? american worldwide freight services (5/2/2008)
Response: Yes, container will be loaded while driver waits. Will prefer weekend loading when we will have the most assistance, please. The consignee will clear the customs and arrange delivery once informed of the arrival of the conatainer. (5/2/2008)
Response: OK I will come back to you with a bid. Are you insuring this? american worldwide freight services (5/2/2008)

Response: Weekend loading is possible. american worldwide freight services (5/5/2008)
Response: How soon can the freight pick-up be made once the down-payment is made? This is a critical question for those making a determination on the quotes. (5/9/2008)
Response: Immediately,if a container is available at the time of booking. There should not be a problem from your area but I need to make the booking to trigger the computer to generate a reservation. american worldwide freight services (5/9/2008)
Response: I am just a middle person. It looks like the team is leaning toward your company. They have companies via Uship and others not associated with Uship. I thought we may have a final word today, but it looks like it may drag until early next week. Once I get the go ahead, I'll let you know. Thanks for your prompt response. (5/9/2008)
Response: Is there a question about this? american worldwide freight services (5/9/2008)
Question: Weekend loading container is not possible. $100K of insurance would cost you about $500 alone and you would need documentation for the underwriters. Good luck! (5/4/2008)
Response: Thanks for your quote. Our team will make its appraisal and we shall get back in touch with you as soon as a determination is made when all all bids have been tallied. This may take until the end of this week. (5/5/2008)
Response: I did not quote so no thanks are necessary. How is your "team" appraising quotes when you don't have all the information? Perhaps you are just fishing for rates to compare. Again, can you provide documentation for $100K of value? Time to show your cards shipper. (5/6/2008)
