Question: hi thanks for the request what is the timeframe your looking to move this I will be up in your area in the end of May and i could do it between shipments at a competetive rate if thats a good time for you let me know and Ill be happy to do it for you ...Sailboats are my specialty (3/7/2008)
Response: End of May would be good. Boat is currently on jack Stands, do you need a cradle to ship? (3/7/2008)
Response: no I wont need a cradle but it will need to be loaded and unloaded with a lift and the time frame in late may would have to be a little leniaent just because i am working it in between two existing jobs that haven't given me fixed dates yet but are sure about the last couple weeks in may (3/8/2008)
Response: I can be lenient in May (from beginning May to end of May)
I can arrange a lift at both locations.
Any idea what your bid would be???
Thanks (3/8/2008)
Response: what is the marina going to charge you for a haulout, we can always consider hiring a crane ourselves for about 450 maybe less because your boat is fairly small and wouldn't need as large of a crane but they have a 3 hour minimum thats why it is so much (3/14/2008)
Response: Hello, Sorry to bother you again but I am concerned as I have not heard back from you and I need to confirm all the arrangements. Please contact me ASAP as I will need to confirm another bid if I do not hear from you by Monday April 14th evening.
Thanks and i hope we can close this deal.

Response: I apologize for the delay in response I have been in the rural west not much for cell service, either way yes may 17th will work I believe my low bid was 1750 though, but write me back and we'll figure it out Ill keep an eye out all day tomorrow to replace my bid by the end of the day (4/13/2008)
Response: Please respond with a bid so we can go forward as I am getting concerned.
I had made a commitment with another shipper to accept/decline a bid yesterday evening pending your response but I have not heard back from you.
I really need to know whether we have a deal or not. Please respond ASAP today (Tuesday April 15th) by 9:00 pm and if I do not hear from you I can assume you are not interested in this shipment.
Thanks.

Response: I was trying to figure out everything we have talked about, I am interested in your shipment but if I gave you a price I would want to stick to that I am currently on the road and haven't had the time to work it all out to make sure that that price would be visable for both of us i will be home tomorrow night, and I apologize for the inconvenience but if you need to make your choice tonight I will not be able to assist you (4/15/2008)
Response: Hello,
Unfortunantly you were just too late as I could no longer wait without hearing from you. Another shipper had made a similiar bid and I accepted at 1:30 pm today (Friday, April 18) as I could no longer delay the decision. I must have just missed your bid.
I would like to stay in touch if, for whatever reason, this shipper does not come through.

Question: Also i am legal to haul into Canada but have not yet done that I will need all the appropriate paperwork and such to get across the border sometimes i hear they make someone meet the carrier at the border to sign stuff But once bid is placed and accepted i will call around and find out everything I will need (3/8/2008)
Response: Hello,
Not sure if you are receiving my messages but I would like to confirm our deal as I need to finalize the details with the crane, etc. Please respond to me as I need to make these arrangements by Sunday, April 13th.
If you are no longer interested please let me know so I can accept another bid.
Thanks.

Question: If you would like to do this shipment around the 16th-17th of may and hire a crane i will drop my bid down to 1500 (3/18/2008)
Response: Still looking into this but looks like I will be going with your services so please keep May 16th and 17th open.
I will confirm this week as soon as I secure the crane.
Thanks
Arno (3/21/2008)
Response: ok sounds good I will be leaving florida the 12th with a boat going up that way so the 17th 18th is probably better just to give some time for any hold-ups, weather etc........but the 17th is most likely (3/23/2008)
Response: Hello, are we still going forward for May 17th at 1500 dollars? Please let me know so we can finalize things.
Thanks

Question: hi shipper im a professional marina operator and transporter out of Rockland,Maine will be in Manchester next week unloading from Seattle Wash. can take you to Toronto for $1500 if this works let me know thanks Kenny (4/15/2008)
Response:
Sounds great, what is your time frame like? i.e. when would the boat be in Toronto?
Thanks.
Arno (4/15/2008)
Response: approx load Mon 21st or Tue latest and deliver folowing day usually thanks Kenny (4/16/2008)
Response: Just to confirm that you have a hydraulic trailer? (boat is currently on jack stands) so I would not need a crane to load?
Otherwise I am ok with your offer and would like to go forward with this deal.
Please make a bid and I will accept 1500 with delivery on May 23 or 24th.
Thanks.

Response: Hello, would have to confirm that a crane would be available, I will email you as soon as I can make arrangements for the hoist.
I think I made an error in the last email I sent you, were are targeting April 21-22nd for pick up and delivery would be April 23-24th; correct?
Thanks.
Arno (4/17/2008)
