Additional Information: I'm looking for a shipper located near Front Royal Va. I am interested in having this shipper carry my basketed birds to any destination that the shipper is already headed. Upon release I would need exact GPS coordinates and time of release. I would pick the basket up from the shippers homebase. A basket is approximately 8"h x 16"w x 24"L Report a Violation

Questions for this shipment: 

Question: We are located near Sperryville VA. We transport horses up and down the east coast. Let us know what you intend to pay for doing this? a max? Thanks (11/1/2009)
Response: I guess the most appropriate way to do it would be for you to provide a per mile price since the birds would be going to a different destination each time. This would be a reocurring thing if it works out. And would likely be a long term arrangement. Thanks,Chad (11/3/2009)
Question: How far away were you thinking? (11/1/2009)
Response: Anywhere from 150 to 500 "air" miles depending on the birds I'm flying(experienced or inexperienced). Thank you, Chad (11/3/2009)
Question: Looks like I will be in the Front Royal area in a couple of weeks (around November 17) for a job and then will be heading to Louisville Kentucky. If that time frame works for you, let me know and I will place a bid. (11/1/2009)
Response: I'm not quite ready yet...the birds need another couple of months of training before they are ready for the long distance flights. Thanks, Chad (11/3/2009)
Question: I often go to Covesville, Virgina -- 17 miles outside Charlottesville. I don't think that I would charge more than $30 to pick your birds up and release them (I believe uship takes a $20 booking fee and that would give me $10). I could send the container back via UPS or the postal service (You could figure out how much that would cost and give me that money separately). I have a Garmin directions GPS, but that may not provide the information you need. However, I can give you an exact address and google shoudl state the coordinates. (11/2/2009)
Response: Is your home base near Front Royal? I was hoping to find someone nearby so it would be easy, and convenient, for me to drop off birds to the shipper. And yes, I think your Garmin GPS would would work fine. Thank you, Chad (11/3/2009)
Response: I just know Front Royal because of the signs on I-66. I guess Front Royal is at the intersection of I-66 and I-81, right? (11/4/2009)
Response: Yep...that's it...pass by it often? (11/4/2009)
Question: We are from PA. will be in your area on the 21st if interested. Thanks. (11/8/2009)
