Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Is this a complete list? (6/24/2009)
Response: Basically. There may be a few more boxes, I am not certain yet. I am moving back to NYC and just need to get my clothes, books, etc. across the country. There is no furniture to be shipped. Looking to spend $300-500. Would need a full receipt and such as I will be reimbursed for moving costs by AmeriCorps. Thanks! (6/25/2009)
Question: Hi shipper. I have a driver that will be in the CA area and could pick up for you. He will be heading back to the east coast, but I am not sure on a specific date as of yet. It would be somewhere around 6-8 days post pick up. If there is a few extra boxes, that would be fine and we could do this shipment for you. Please read our bio and feedback. Thank you, Tracey DNT Transport (6/25/2009)
Response: What would you offer to ship for me. The time of arrival is not as important as the pickup date. Thanks, Hari (6/27/2009)
Response: Hi shipper. Thank you for your response. My driver could pick up between the 10th 12th of July and deliver between 19th and 21st. Our price would be (even if you added boxes) $500. Regards, Tracey DNT Transport (6/28/2009)
Question: Hi, I have a truck leaving the Bay Area in early August but could pick up most any weekend in July, except for the 4th. If this works for you I could do the items listed for $350. Let me know. Steve (6/30/2009)
Response: Steve, This could work. Thanks for responding. Can you please provide me with some testimonials or people I can contact for feedback? The pickup time will be the only tricky part. I am in the Bay Area from Jul 21-Jul 25. If pickup needs to occur on a weekend, it would have to be during the morning of Jul 25, before Noon. It absolutely cannot be late at all. Alternatively, it would be ideal if you could pickup Jul 24. I would also need a detailed receipt, as my moving expenses will be reimbursed by AmeriCorps. Please let me know if this could work for you. If so, and pending my review of some feedback, we have a deal. I may additionally have another 2-3 boxes. Not certain. Hope it wont be an issue. Kind regards, Hari (7/3/2009)
Response: Hi Hari. Per Uship policies I am unable to provide you with any contact information from previous clients, or any info that might reroute us around the uship website. As far as pick-up, I am able to work around your schedule as I am working at UC Berkeley every week during the summer running a kids technology camp. I also live in Walnut Creek. My quote is based on the info provided in the inventory listed. If the additional boxes are small then I am okay with that price but if they are large I have to reformulate my bid but it still should be no more than $50-75. Steve (7/4/2009)
Response: Steve, I have confirmed that there will be no problems with receipt on the NJ end. I am flexible on arrival dates - I assume we will be in phone contact as the truck approaches NJ regarding actual date and time of delivery. Please contact me ASAP, so that we can confirm all of hte pickup details for later this week. Regards, Hari (7/19/2009)
Response: How big are the boxes, dimensions? This won't affect price I just need to figure out what size vehicle I need for pick-up to storage. Steve (7/20/2009)
Response: Steve, Approx 1.5x1.5x1.5ft, a couple of them might be a bit smaller. Give me a call [phone number removed], so we can arrange final pickup. Thanks, Hari (7/21/2009)
Response: Ya, I meant to tell you that contact info on either end is forbidden. I am placing a bid this morning for the agreed upon price with pick-up scheduled for Friday evening, or Saturday morning. Steve (7/22/2009)
Question: Did you want me to place a formal bid per our last conversation? Steve (7/7/2009)
Response: Steve, Excellent. Yes, please put a formal bid. Assuming the listed items, $350. If I have an extra box or two and you feel they are much more than the original listing, I am fine with paying a bit more. I will definitely need a receipt from you. Additionally, when do you think delivery would be in NJ? Just need to make sure it falls on a day when someone will be around to receive. Finally, I will accept your bid if you can GUARANTEE that pickup will be around 9-10am on Jul 25. Can't be any later than this. Cheers, Hari (7/15/2009)
Response: Let me sort things on my end tomorrow so i guarantee this pick up date/time. Could it be Friday night? Steve (7/15/2009)
Response: Yesm Fri eve could work, preferably earlier in the evening. Basically, I will be leaving as of Noon on Saturday, but before is great. And, if you can let me know approx arrival as well. Just cant be weekend of Aug 15th as no one will be home on the NJ end. Cheers. (7/15/2009)
Response: This may be tough to coordinate because I plan to make drop-offs the weekend of the 15th in NJ/NYC. I, any shipper really, can only guarantee a drop-off period of time, 72 hours, or so. It's too far off and too many miles to give you an exact date. For the price you are looking for there needs to be more flexibility. Steve (7/18/2009)
Response: Steve, Fully understand. I will find a way to make it work - am sure I can get an address in NJ that weekend where someone will be around. I return from abroad on Tues. What is your cell phone number, will be easier to speak on the phone. When can you pick up - either Fri eve or Sat morn? Let's work together please. You can either put up a formal bid, or we can just discuss and settle this over the phone. If you would like ot go through uShip, so that you have more official customers for your ratings, that is fine with me. I will get a NJ address for you. Cheers, Hari (7/18/2009)
Response: Hi Hari, please give me until the morning to make sure I can sort out the pick up requirements. I know you are anxious to get this settled but I want to make sure I can accommodate the specific time in pick-up. Steve (7/19/2009)
Response: nevermind Steve, guess you cannot call me (i just got flagged). let me know via uship when you can arrange pickup. thanks. (7/21/2009)
Question: I will be loading tomorrow morning in San Francisco. What is the size of your boxes? I go by volume. Can you load? Is the bike in a box? thanks. (7/22/2009)
Response: Boxes are about 1.5x1.5x1.5ft. Bike is not in a box, is assembled - you could take off the front tire. Cannot do pickup until Thurs night, preferably Fri anytime or Sat early morning. Pickup would have to be in Moraga. Thanks. (7/22/2009)
Response: Thanks for your response. I am in a time schedule so I will not bid. Regards. (7/22/2009)
