Questions for this shipment: 

Question: You said it could be broken down. Does that mean what ever is 60' can be broken down to be smaller? If it isn't then I am thinking it might have to be on a flat bed covered with tarps and be a load that will take a permit. I cannot place a bid until I know if that can be done, for if it is that it will take a little more for the tarping. I don't know of any trailer that is 60' long. Have a nice day. Ginger (3/12/2008)
Response: There may be a mistake in the listing. I will check as it is 54 inches long! (3/12/2008)
Question: if this can be wrapped in blankets and laid in the back of pickup we will bring to you for 400 can it be picked up fri evening or sat thanks (3/13/2008)
Response: This needs to be in a "secured" covered truck or trailed due to its value. Thanks (4/12/2008)
Question: What dates are compatable? When I bid, it said, flexable. I plan to be in your area about 3-25 or 26th. (3/19/2008)

Question: Hello shipper. Can the cannon be removed from the base? Or if not can the can swivel to where the base and cannon are both verticle. If so I can do this job for about $576.00. If you are wanting full value protection the cost of that is $20.00 per $1,000.00. It is auto covered to the first $10,000. Thanks Tyson Just 4U Service, Inc. (4/8/2008)

Response: Yes, it needs to be insured for the full $35,000 US$. I think Friday may be a little soon for us. Monday ot Tuesday should work. Thanks, Chuck (4/15/2008)
Response: I will place a bid for $800.00. That price will include all prep work for shipping and pickup and delivery all inclusive. It also includes $35,000.00 of coverage. The only things that we need to figure out is pickup. I will have a truck in the area this weekend and as soon as it returns it will be heading out to California so Pickup and delivery may be a total of 2 weeks. If not going to be able to pick up this weekend I will have another truck up there by the end of the month and delivery may take 2 to 3 weeks after pickup. Please if you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks Tyson Just 4U Services, Inc. (4/16/2008)
