Question: Hello, this is Sean Donohoe from The Shipping Shack Inc Florida. We would like to let you know that we have placed a bid on your shipment and encourage you to look at the bidding details. Our bid is based off of 8 pallets of books at 500 pounds each. If there are less pallets, then let us know and we will lower our bid accordingly. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask. Hope to hear from you soon. Have a great day! (2/6/2009)
Question: Hello this is Sean again from the Shipping Shack Inc Florida. We were wondering if you wanted us to re-bid on your shipment of books. If we do it will be for the same amount. Please let us know. Have a great day. (2/8/2009)
Response: I was hoping for a lower price. Last time I made this same shipment it cost just under $800, so I am looking for a comparable deal. Thanks. (2/8/2009)
Response: Hello and thank you for your continued interest in our service. Unfortunately we are unable to quote a lower price for 8 pallets of books at 500# each. However, if the number of pallets and/or weight is actually lower, than we can lower our bid, but it will be approx $1125 for only 6 pallets. Let us know if you are still interested. (2/8/2009)
Question: are they stackable? (2/8/2009)
Response: No (2/9/2009)
Question: Are the details still - 6 Pallets - 3000LBS Lift Gate at Orgin Cheritable? (3/30/2009)
Response: Lift gate at origin is necessary, it is a charitable shipment, the weight however is probably closer to 5000 lbs. The lift gates on semis have worked fine in the past. not sure if a smaller truck would have a big enough/powerful enough lift gate for the pallets. My last 4 shipments have come in around $100 a pallet via Fedex Express Freight, so thats the range im looking for. Plenty of repeat business to send your way if this works out. If you want to communicate directly please contact me at [email address removed] Thanks! (3/30/2009)
Response: The lowest I can go is $710 let me know if you need this shipped. (3/31/2009)
