Question: We can pickup your items between 12/19 and 12/21 1187.00 total. let us know if we can help and I will place a bid. (11/14/2007)
Response: I would need someone to load and unload the truck from a ground floor storage facility to a residential 3 car garage. So, the truck i guess would need a lift gate correct and pallet jack? Let me know if all that is included please? Thanks, Liana (11/15/2007)
Response: We will take care of loading and unloading. Thanks Jeff (11/15/2007)
Response: Very cool! Are you in Pinellas County? Do you accept American Express? What is the name of your company if any? Thanks, Liana (11/15/2007)
Response: We are located in Gainesville about 135 miles north of you. I will go ahead and place a bid after you accept we will have direct contact. Thanks Jeff with GETITFAST. (11/15/2007)
Response: One more question... Do you have the room for 13 pallets and about 200 smaller boxes? : ) If we need to pay with AMEX, do you accept American Express? Thank you so much!! Liana (11/17/2007)
Response: Sorry It took so long to answer I was in TX having problems with my laptop but to answer your question. Yes we would have plenty room. are the books on the pallets also in boxes. if so we may remove some from pallets and re pallitize at delivery. And we accept all credit cards through papal. Thanks Jeff (11/26/2007)
Response: I'm sorry as well for it taking so long! : ) I'm the assistant to the CEO, owner of the books to where these books will be heading to in Tennessee. He's been in and out of the country and took a bit to get back to me. He is now ready to move forward! : ) The books are on pallets, however you can load and unload the easiest would work for me! : ) Just keep in mind the storage facility is 20 x 10 feet long filled with books. (not all the way to the top), in length. Please rebid, so we can move forward quickly? Thanks, Liana Sumner (12/3/2007)
Response: Hey If we pickup on the 20th or 21st as pland. would it be a problem if we delivered on the 28th or 29th. our days are getting tight around the Holiday's. we are going to west TN to spend Christmas with one of my sons. so we could take them up with us and deliver after the holiday. Thanks Jeff (12/3/2007)
Response: I'll ask the owners. : ) I think they'll be in Canada then. I'll know by tomorrow! (12/3/2007)
Response: OK just find out if delivery would be posible between 11/27/07 and 1/1/08 Thank Jeff (12/3/2007)
Question: Howdy: I have a 2004 cargo van and ready to go, I need pallet dimensions..etc. Thanks Carl (11/15/2007)
Question: Hello there, I can pick that shipment for you tomorrow at any time, and deliver it day after tomorrow! Let me know if you are interested, and we can accept american express card! [Zummanity] (11/19/2007)
Question: do you have any pictures of the books in the storage unit?? (12/3/2007)
Response: no, i sure don't. it is a storage unit 20 x 10 with 13 standard size pallets, and about 200 separate smaller boxes of books. (12/3/2007)
Question: I have 53' semi with 30' space available. I have a pallet jack and 14' ramp. Don't think the ramp will work for loading but might for unloading. I could load on Friday and deliver Sat, Sun, or Mon. If you think that would work I could do the move for 900. (12/4/2007)
Response: Do you have any references? Are you here in Pinellas County? I don't have any equipment, will it be a problem loading it all and unloading it all? The pallets and smaller boxes need to be unloaded into a residential garage, is this going to propose a problem? thanks! (12/4/2007)
Response: I'm picking up a load for Movex on Thursday here in central Fl going south of Nashville, that should tell you something about my references . If I can get my semi in both pick up and delivery locations I would help in anyway that I could to get it loaded and unloaded. I would have to load on Friday. (12/4/2007)
Question: Hey just wondering if you herd anything. (12/4/2007)
Response: He really wants to see if I can find a cheaper company. : ( I told him I really like your reputation here on UShip. : ) Give me one more day, if you don't mind to see if I can change his mind. He's a strong-headed New Yorker.... : ) Liana (12/4/2007)
Response: Hey your not allowed to leave contact # in your Q&A But with that said just find out if the dates will work. I will see if I can help on the price a little. You are going to have several calls the result of leaving your # some will offer to go around uship and save you a few $$ uship is free to you but not to service providers but know one forces us to use there Internet service and when we join uship we agree not to do that. so remember if a man will lie and steel from uship. I personally would not trust him with my belongings. Thanks Jeff (12/4/2007)
