Questions for this shipment: 

Question: What kind of budget do you have in mind for a shipment like this going over 2700 miles. Also are you sure of the wgt, 5' concrete fountain, seems to be a lot more then 75 lbs. Please let me know and I will adjust my bid. Thanks ~ Mike (8/12/2009)
Response: Thank you Mike for your email. Regarding the weight, in the listing I state that the water fountain is made up of 4 pieces. I averaged the weight to be 75lbs each piece. Note that some pieces are heavier and some are lighter but the average would be 75lbs each and about 300lbs total. Regarding the price, your price was excessively above my budget. I budgeted $200 for shipping. Thanks Denise (8/12/2009)
Response: Thanks Denise, I understand now. OK I have moved these before and know they were heavier the 75 lbs. I could not help at this price. I don't believe you could even get a common carrier to do this that cheap. I can adjust my price to 500.00. which is really cheap for this service. Let me know if you would like for me to re-bid. I will be in the L.A. area late next week. Thanks again ~ Mike (8/12/2009)
Response: Hi Mike, the cost of the fountain is around $200. I set the budget up to $200 for shipping. $500 is still way too high for me. I can offer you $75 more if you promise to wrap them well and make sure they don't get damaged. Let me know Thanks Denise (8/12/2009)
Response: Hi Denise, Give me a few days to see how this trip unfolding, it's not a big shipment and If someone is willing to meet me along my route in NJ to pick these pieces up from me so I don't have to go out of route then we can probably work something out. As far as wrapping them I always take the bast care of anything I transport. You can rest assure they will be blanket wrapped then shrink wrapped for a secure ride. I also have air ride equipment. Thanks ~ Mike (8/12/2009)
Response: Sounds good Mike, keep me posted. Thanks Denise (8/12/2009)
Response: Hey Denise go ahead and accept my bid and we can discuss the details, I have a pleasant surprise I think you'll like. (8/12/2009)
Response: Hey Mike, I went to accept your bid a couple days ago but it was asking me to pay about $35! I wanted to make sure the shipment is ready and as I said before Friday midnight is when I was going to be sure. Now I'm sure the shipment is ready. I have someone who's going to meet you on the NJ Turnpike so you won't have to exit... Thanks Denise (8/15/2009)
Response: Hi Denise, I will re-bid now. Call me once you accept. Thanks ~ Mike (8/15/2009)
