Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hi, I will be heading back from Denver to Phoenix on Saturday. I will be in a 2005 Ford E-250 cargo van. It has exactly 10 feet of space and 50 inches of clearance. I have blankets and straps but it will be close. Might be too short of notice also. Let me know, Thanks- Ken (12/7/2007)
Response: Yes it will probably be too close. If it fit without damaging tank I would have no problem with you bringing it though. But, there are other items that come with the tank such as sump tank, pumps, lights, filtering system, etc. How would you load tank? Its very heavy.. (12/7/2007)
Question: Could you provide any help loading and unloading. I am going to Albuquerque from Colorado Springs on the 21st or 22nd with a horse trailer. (12/7/2007)
Response: The guy I bought the tank from in Colorado ssaid he would get some of his buddies to help load there. I will help unload here in Albuquerque. (12/7/2007)
Question: Hello, we are from ABQ and would love to help with this move. We have an enclosed van and could move this weekend for $700 total. This is a full service move and our movers are very professional. Please let me know if it could work for this weekend. thx, NMRoadrunner (12/11/2007)
Response: Yes that would work out fine.. Just double check your van that the dimensions of the tank would fit. And the accessories. It is very big and heavy. Also if you would do c.o.d that would make a deal.. Let me know asap so I could arrange everything with my guy in colorado. (12/11/2007)
Response: We will send a truck on FRI to pickup and dropoff could be on SAT morning. We will move this tank and equipment for $700 after the USHIP FEES. I think the total for you is $802. We will provide the pad, packing and insulating shrink wrap as well. We have two very strong profesional movers to assist also in loading and unloading. If you wish for us to send an additional four guys to help with the move that would only be $100 more. Six of our movers can handle 1000 lbs. Two movers will need a little bit of help on each end. Let me know if this will work for you and we will bid accordingly. thx, NMRoadrunners (12/11/2007)
Response: ok. I will pay for the extra movers. But friday night or saturday will be better for my guy colorado.Let me know so I can accept bid or not. Thanks (12/12/2007)
Response: Hello and sorry for the wait as we just got back from a Farmington run. It looks to me that a SAT pickup would work out better but let me check with the main driver that will be going. We will have a answer if FRI or SAT will be better in just about one hour. We will let you know by 8:00 PM. thx, NMRoadrunner (12/12/2007)
Question: Hello. My driver that I would like to use is actually concerned about a WINTER SNOW storm that will be hitting the area on FRI and possibly SAT morning as well. We are looking at next WEDS as the BEST day for this move. The weather outlook is for above freezing temps. That is after three days of no SNOW. That would be the day with the dry roads and skies. Also we are concerned about any ice or snow that might hamper the pickup. We need to be ready for all situations. We will be sending six strong moving men and our best enclosed moving van for this move. Let us know what you think and please let us know if you have any more questions or concerns. We are the best bet for moving this item as we are very trained in handling, packing and the padding of breakable items. The best date for my movers is morning of FRI DEC 20th and delivery either FRIDAY evening or early SAT morning. The soonest safest time would be on WEDS the 17th. thx, NMRoadrunners (12/12/2007)
Response: we'll shoot for next friday then. I'll accept your bid. Thanks NMC (12/12/2007)
Response: Great. I will start working out the details. thx, NMRoadrunners (12/12/2007)
