Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Thanks for the bid request!!!! Sorry I am booked until 12/1!!! GOOD LUCK!! (11/7/2007)
Question: Can the Ski be towed on it's own trailer? (11/7/2007)
Response: It could but that would not be preferred as it is not a tandem trailer and it has about 3000 miles to travel.(kind of small wheels) (11/7/2007)
Question: These things tow well with the small wheels, I have done it quite a few times cross country, unfortunately your target is way off, double it and add 500 and we can have a deal, Sorry but diesel is going up weekly and at 10 mpg it sucks the life out of the plastic. Gas alone will be about $1000 plus 4 days driving etc etc etc. check me out and give me your thoughts. (11/7/2007)
Response: My thought was that some trucker could add this to some other loads and spread the cost around. Your estimate is pretty close as I received a firm bid of $2655. Fed Ex will do it for about $1200. (11/7/2007)
Response: Well we would be $2000 and I would check into that Fed Ex quote a bit more for the "hidden extras" and the fact that it will be moved about 5/6 times from truck to truck. (11/7/2007)
Question: Hi shipper How soon do you need this transported , we will not have a load that way for a few weeks , Dont know if you can wait . (11/7/2007)
Response: The people who have the ski in Cal are somewhat anxious to get it moved. Two weeks might be OK. However long it takes to get it here once it's picked up is not much of a problem. (11/7/2007)
Question: Hi, What are the dimensions of the trailer with the jet ski? .thanks,Larry (11/7/2007)
Response: Larry, The jet ski is 10 feet long and the trailer is 14 feet long so the tongue hangs past the front of the ski by about 4 feet maybe a little less. (11/7/2007)
Question: SHIPPER I CAN PUT THIS IN THE BACK OF MY DUALLY FOR $900?????? (11/7/2007)
Question: shipper I can pick up this jet ski w/trailer Saturday or Sunday. I will have a roll back pick it up and put it on my trailer if I can't wheel it up my ramps (should be able to w/ a hand or two) but if not opption one will work, done it before with a boat. I would want 1200.00 because as you can see fuel is at a all time high I just paid 389.9 today. I will deliver before next friday the 16th. Please take a few to check out my profile and feedback. let me know if you have any questions. Thanks-Mike (11/7/2007)
Response: Mike, I don't know how to proceed from here as this is my first time using uShip. Is there a uShip contract we are supposed to sign. I'd like for you to plan on handling this shipment. Patrick Mansell (11/8/2007)
Response: Hi Patrick thanks for getting back to me . Next step is I will place a formal bid, you will need to click to accept. You will receive my information and I will receive yours . I am on the road right now so once you receive my information please give me a call and we can set up the pick up time and place. I will pick the jet ski up and will keep in contact with you on my route to deliver. I then will contact you 24 hrs prior to delivery to set that up . All this we can discuss after we receive each others information. Once you accept u ship will ask you for a deposit . I will not ask for any money until I deliver. If you are paying for this on the pick up end that's fine but normally the person who is accepting delivery is the one wanting the delivery so that's when I normally collect and you as the customer alot of times fills better knowing that the service provider has not been paid and is taking good care of there belongings Thanks and hope this has helped you i will place my bid. (11/8/2007)
Question: what is your target price. thanks larry (11/7/2007)
