Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hello shipper I will be headed towards Tx and would love to give Chester a ride with me. You can ck my feedback. I have a meeting in La so we would be there for a day and he would be in the back yard for the day and then we will be off to Tx. Let me know if I can help. Price would be 325.00 total door to door service. Thanks (3/2/2008)
Response: Hi there! Can you tell me what dates you would be traveling so that I can know how soon you need a commitment? Thank you! (3/2/2008)
Response: Well If Chester is ready to go I would leave around Wed or Thur. Just let me know what you have in mind. Pretty flexible at this point. Thanks (3/2/2008)
Response: This could work for me, I have a couple more questions. What kind of kennel do you require? does it need to be hard cased or could it be cloth with a steel frame? Also, if the person who currently has him could meet you in Sacramento would it change the cost of the trip? (3/2/2008)
Response: I will be coming in from Wa so I could pick him up at the place he is at. Kennel would not be nessacery. He will be the only one with me. I will place my bid and you can accept it if you want me to give Chester a ride. Thanks. (3/2/2008)
Question: Thank you for your bid request, but I am not going to be in California any time soon. Tonda of Get-M-Home (BullyHillbullies) usually has a west coast run, and may be able to take care of making your wish come true. I would recommend that you request a bid from them. Thanks. Stan/SC's Pet Transport (3/2/2008)
Question: Hi there and thank you for your bid request!! I can bring Chester with me on my trip with a pick up of March 11 and delivery March 12-14 for $400 door to door. If someone can meet me in Sacramento on March 11, then I could reduce my bid to $280. Please let me know if this works for you or if you have any questions. Thanks! (3/2/2008)
Response: Hi there! I'm interested in your option of meeting sacramento. Can I ask you what time you would want to meet? Also, what kind of kennel do you require? Would a cloth but steel framed Kennel work or do you need it to be a hard cased travel kennel? Thank you! (3/2/2008)
Response: Afternoon, probably between 2pm and 6pm. I'll be coming up from LA with a stop in Stockton, then up to meet you in Sacramento. No crate is necessary, but if you WANT to have one with him, then any you need to send along is fine. I have an XXL pop up crate already if it becomes necessary. Otherwise he would just ride loose with us in the van so he can enjoy the scenery, too! (3/2/2008)
Response: That sounds great! The actual address you would pick him up from is in Citrus Heights. I understand if you need to adjust the price accordingly. I'm going to have him dropped off there the 10th and he'll be ready any time the 11th. Please make a bid and I will accept! (3/2/2008)
Response: Oooops! I put in the wrong amount! Citrus Heights isn't that far off the beaten path. I meant to put in $290. I'll go change that. In the meantime, please provide two days worth of food, his bowls, and a leash for walking/playing. We make several stops along the way to let your big guy stretch his legs. He will be leashed any time the car stops BEFORE we open the doors. Quick question. How is your big guy with cats? I may have one going with us and I want to segregate accordingly if he likes to eat kitties. It's not a problem as I've had to transport this way before and it worked out fine for both the kitty and the big guys. Plus the kitty has her crate that she'd rather stay in anyway. (3/3/2008)
Response: Ok, so I got a response about the cat thing...apparently he hasn't had any exposure to cats in his 2 year history with their family so they're not sure about how he'll do. In my experience with him he's very focused on humans so I'm thinking he'll ignore the cat after the initial introduction. (3/4/2008)
Question: Hello, we are leaving for California on the 10th. We could pick Chester up on our way back to Missouri for you. Our bid would be $325. Let me know and I will place a bid for you to accept. Thank you. (3/2/2008)
Response: thank you for responding! I have a couple of questions for you that I didn't think to ask in my advertisement. 1, what kind of kennel do you require for Chester? is a hard kennel required or would a soft but steel framed kennel suffice? 2, if the person who currently has chester were willing to drive him to Sacramento to meet you would that change the price of the trip? thank you!
