Questions for this shipment: 

Question: I need an idea of the total shipment weight. Can you let me know. Thanks, FMAC (10/8/2008)
Response: I'm not sure because the pallets are not ready to go yet. They will be ready with in a month or so. Im not sure if you can estimate based on this but the load will be 6-12 pallets with cardboard gaylords and lids atop them filled with books. So, pretty heavy I would imagine. (10/8/2008)
Question: if you can prepay via paypal once confirm will ship for $540.00 and set you up for next month when you are ready (10/8/2008)
Response: Thank you again. So, your offering to do the job for a total of $540? You mentioned Fedex freight but you don't seem to be a Fedex employee. How does that work? Where are you based out of? Thanks. (10/8/2008)
Response: YES, I AM A AGENT FOR FEDEX --I DO LOTS OF SHIPPIN FOR FEDEX UPS, DHL AND ALSO HAVE MY OWN FLEET-I HAVE ACCOUNTS NUMBER AND THEY GIVE ME DISCOUNTS AND COUPONS PERIODICALLY-THAT IS WHERN I USE USHIP TO MAKE A LIITLE EXTRA-I CN DO IT WHILE I HAVE THE DISCOUNT -OTHER THAN THAT WILL BE 800 2000.00 LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO (10/8/2008)
Response: I will let you know once everything is confirmed on my end and we can arrange payment. Thanks. (10/8/2008)
Response: ok keep me posted while discount is in effect- you got about 5 days till it expires (10/8/2008)
Question: We can also offer $540 and depending on weight we maybe able to go a little better. That is pretty much standard rate for us using DHL , but on palletized frieght we have a better solution that is always less expensive and just as fast as DHL or FedEx. (11/19/2008)
Response: Cant tell you the weight unfortunately. There are going to be 7-8 pallets of books. The books are stacked in full boxes about 4 feet high on the pallets. (11/19/2008)
Question: I have a 70% global discount with Fed-Ex and a Class Exemption, but there's not a chance Fed-Ex would ship this for the Rate of $540??!! There's no discount that could get you that price, For a total of 6 -12 pallets weighing ???? Please be aware shipper that they are talking about $540 per pallet, not for the entire shipment, and thats no discount (11/20/2008)
