Question: Hi! I can load this on July 25th and deliver on August 2nd. I can do this for $680. Please check out my profile/feedback. Are there any stairs involved at the delivery end? Let me know, Thanks Todd (7/22/2009)
Response: Does that include wrapping the furniture pieces up so they're very safe during transport?
There is one set of stairs in our house, but I can help with that, if need be.
Thanks. (7/22/2009)
Response: Thank you for the fast response. All items will be pad wrapped and shrink wrapped. Is the queen bed a mattress/box spring or is it a headboard/footboard/rails? Is the business open on Saturday and what are their hours? I'am by myself, so I would need help if you could or I could find help in Dallas. Thanks Todd (7/22/2009)
Response: There are no mattresses or box springs with the bed; it is just headboard, footboard and rails.
The furniture is in a storage facility in NJ - no stairs. You would be meeting the seller there at a convenient day and time. The seller is a woman and I'm not sure how much help she will be in loading, but I'm sure she could help some.
I am happy to help with unloading in Dallas.
Thanks. (7/22/2009)
Response: Sounds great! I won't need any help with the loading part. I have dollies and a lift gate on my moving truck. Can you get a hold of the seller and make sure Saturday is good for her. I'am only available for pick up on Saturday. Also I only accept cash, cashier's check or money order only, is this ok? Thanks Todd (7/22/2009)
Response: That all sounds fine to me. I'm still trying to convince the seller to sell to me. She's having a hard time figuring out how payment will work when I'm 2000 miles away. One thought I had was for me to be standing by the phone when you get to the storage place. Before loading it, you could eyeball the furniture and make sure it's in good condition (no big scratches, spots, etc.) and call me to verify that. At that point I could send payment through our Paypal account. Does that seem to make sense?
Thanks. (7/22/2009)
Response: Yes, that makes sense. How long will payment take to go thru? I will be driving 180 miles out of my way to pick this stuff up, so I would hate to get there and something go wrong. Have you seen pictures of the furniture? Thanks Todd (7/22/2009)
Response: I think with Paypal it's almost immediate. There may be a delay of 30 seconds or something while the internet lines talk to each other.
I've seen pictures of the same brand and model numbers, so I know what it's all supposed to look like. I've also seen 4 or 5 pictures of this actual furniture and it looks like it's in good shape (the seller says it's in excellent condition). I wouldn't need you to confirm whether it's pretty or anything - just that it is not beat up at all.
Thanks. (7/22/2009)
Response: I totally understand. Let me know if she's ok with everything, and I'll place my bid. Thanks Todd (7/22/2009)
Response: She says she's okay with the procedure, but she hasn't completely agreed to sell to me yet. If you don't mind, go ahead and place your bid, because the shipping cost may be a factor in how much I can afford to offer her for the furniture itself.
Thanks. (7/23/2009)
Response: I'am sorry but I won't place a bid until everything is a go. If something doesn't go right after the bid is accepted, then I get a cancellation on my feedback(Which doesn't look good) and I'am out driving 180 miles out of route. Hope you understand. I will match the lowest bid. Thanks Todd (7/23/2009)
Response: I understand. Quick update - she has agreed to sell me the furniture, but needs to talk to me tonight about some logistics. She's thinking Saturday morning is best for loading. I'll let you know what happens tonight. (7/23/2009)
Response: Thank you. I will be coming from Baltimore, MD and I should be able to make it to her storage place between 11am-12pm on Saturday. I'am working late on Friday night, and that's the earliest I can arrive in NJ. Thanks Todd (7/23/2009)
Response: I just heard back from the seller. She agrees with the inspection procedure and with pick-up on Saturday. I believe we have a deal, so you can probably post your bid.
Thanks. (7/23/2009)
Response: That sounds great! I may be able to deliver on August 1st in the evening if your available. I will go ahead and place my bid now. Thanks Todd (7/23/2009)
Response: We have to be out of town that Friday through Sunday. Is it possible to do it the following Monday? (7/23/2009)
Response: How about Monday August 3rd? (7/23/2009)
