Question: Hello. I have some questions about this shipment. (1)Do the chairs have arms, or can they be inverted & wrapped by two's? (2)Do you require inside pick-up & delivery? (3)If so, is it first floor? (4)Are these antiques? (5)What is you shipping budget? I look forward to your response. Best regards, "Greyhound" (Kelly Freight Services--"A FULLY LICENSED, INSURED & PROFESSIONAL MOTOR CARRIER.") (8/20/2009)
Response: Thanks for your interest in moving the furnature. I believe two of the chairs have arms and the others do not. However, all the chairs (including those with the arms) can be inverted and stacked by twos. We require inside pickup, but the delivery can be left outside. I'll be at the delivery point to unpack and cary them inside. Pickup will preferably be from the 1st and 2nd floor (6 of the 8 chairs are on the 2nd floor as I recall), but I can have everything carried to the first floor if that makes it easier for you. The items are not antiques. We don't have a specific budget. We were hoping to spend around $300 to move the items, but will take the best deal we can get from a reputable company. Please dont hesitate to contact me if you require additional information.

Response: Hi, Max & thanks for your reply. I can handle inside pick-up & if I need to go upstairs, that's OK. I would appreciate it if the bench could be brought to the first floor, but it's not the end of the world if it is not. My best price is going to be something on the order of $375.00. I do have a USDOT license & "full coverage" cargo insurance. I will provide you with an insurance certificate within 24 hours of formal bid acceptance. You will have no doubts about insurance. I don't just "claim" to have insurance-I provide proof. As far as reputable, please review my feedback & 5-star U-ship service & safety rating. My timeframe for pick-up is between 9/5--9/12, with delivery within 7 days of pick-up. If this is satisfactory, please let me know & I will bid formally. Best regards, Tony K.

Response: Tony-
Very sorry for the delay. We had a death in the family and are just beginning to catch up with things. We'll go forward with you on this, but the pickup date needs to be after 9/30. Let me know if that woorks for you. If so, please submit a formal bid and I'll accept it.

Response: Hi, Max. Thanks for your message. Please accept my condolences for your loss. By all means, please don't worry about the delay in getting back to me. Family first. First foremost & always. I am reasonably ure I can work with those dates--if so, it ill be closer to the 9th. If it works out that way, is there any flexibility past the 9th, or is that the last possible date you can work with? Please let me know at your convenience. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. Deepest sympathy, Tony K. (9/4/2009)
Response: Tony,
Thanks for the support. Any time between the 1st and 14th works for me. Earlier is better, but any time in that window will be ok.
All the best, Max (9/6/2009)
Response: Hi, Max. You're most welcome. I wish I could offer more than words. I can work out the 1st--14th timeframe for pick-up, but my delivery window may be more toward the end of the month. (I'll store at my place during the interim.) If that will work, we have a deal. Please let me know. Regards always, Tony K. (9/6/2009)
Response: Tony,
That will be ok, but please keep in mind that we'd love to get them as soon as possible, so the earlier you can get them to us the better. We'll assume they'll arrive toward the end of October, and anything earlier will be icing on the cake.

Response: Hi, Max. I am so sorry for the delay in responding to your request. I somehow managed to get the modem on my laptop disfunctional--still not sure how I did that. Added to that is a medical emergency involving my mom. In any event, now that some degree of order is established to life & business, I'll enter a bid. Please be sure the dates work for you.
