Question: hi
would you have any help for loading or unloading? if so i could pick this up on the 12th or 13th of july and deliver for you, we have friends in weiser,id near nampa...laura CHORSEFARMS(we have a 24' aluminum gooseneck horsetrailer with 1 1/4" padding under black rubber mats, for xtra cushining) (7/7/2007)

Thanks for your reply! (7/7/2007)
Response: hi
can you tell me the width on the piano...i'm not worried about the height ,weight or length....like i said i have a big trailer....but want to make sure it will go through my back door...then i can go ahead and bid...thankyou(p.s. i will go out right now and get a measurement on my door)

Response: It's an upright so only about 2 feet in width. 4 1/2 feet high and 4 1/2 feet long.
Are you solo or would you have someone to help you lift it in? I need to know how many people to have at each site to assist you.
It was a player piano but that mechanism was removed a long time ago. It's still a pretty heavy bugger. A dolly on wheels might help get it from the house to your trailer. Only a few steps involved. We might be able to get the dolly for this. No steps at the Nampa site. (7/7/2007)
Response: hi
my trailer has a 33 1/2" door...so should have no problem...
i will have 1 other with me...and i can bring a dolly for the other end...i can pick up on the 12th if that works for you and i have one other pickup in cheney,wa then can drop off either 13th-14th...can haul it for you for the $500. this does include all the uship fees...if that sounds alright i'll go ahead and submit my bid...you can see our trailer and info on our profile CHORSEFARMS...
thanks again laura (7/7/2007)
Response: We're overlapping our e-mails. That's alright. Laura I think we need six men to hoist this thing. No insult intended. I'm a city boy though so who knows I may not have the right perspecitve. Is your companion a male? I just want to have the right help there for you! Let me know the time on the 12th and whether it would be the 13th or 14th for delivery. The latter date makes no difference to me just need to know. The 12th, however, is critical as I'm arranging all of this long distance with my sister who is traveling in AZ at this time. She'll get some people there though. I have lther family in Seattle that will help also. (7/7/2007)
Response: No insult taken...i'm all for the help....my companion on this trip is my mother(usually my hubby goes, but he's tied up this trip)...so you will need some hefty guys for the loading...how about we make the delivery on the 14th ...that way i have plenty of time for my other pickup.. (7/7/2007)
Response: OK.
Give me 24-48 hours to accept your bid.
This will be great if it works!

Response: hi
ok..i'll talk to you later...unfortunately uship doesn't allow phone numbers untill after bid is accepted...but if you need to adjust the time...i have some flexibility there ...i'm just going to go visit some friends in wieser,id just north of nampa after .. (7/7/2007)
Question: Good evening trusterobert, I see your time frame is flexible, "IF" it may be flexible enough, I will be in your area the first two weeks of october. If that time frame might work for you, once the piano is on a dolly, would we have to roll it over any grass, gravel, or dirt at either loation? With no major obstacles, I could honor your target price! Which includes the u-ship fees! I also carry $30,000 worth of cargo insurance at no additional cost! I am looking forward to hearing from you! Thank You Very Much!Steve @ AAA Piano Svc. (aaapianosvc for provider directory) (7/12/2007)
Question: Are we good to go? Or do you have any other concerns or questions? (7/23/2007)
Response: You're paying all of the U Ship fees, right? (7/23/2007)
Response: Right. Unless you wouldn't mind splitting them? (7/23/2007)
Response: I'll pay you cash on delivery and let you pay the fees. This is my first time using U Ship and I'm not familiar with the fees etc. Thanks for your bid. I'm going to accept it. Members of my family will be at the pick up site on Friday night, probably having a barbecue while they awiat your arrival. (7/23/2007)
