Question: Can mattress and box be put on a pallet (4/30/2009)
Response: I guess so. I am not crtain what exactly that means, however.
Please explain. (4/30/2009)
Response: matress can be difficult to ship. In order to ensure a safe arrival. You will need to have the matresses on a skid or pallet , so they will be secure. Are they wrapped? Or can you wrap them? (4/30/2009)
Response: The mattress nnd box springs are not wrapped or boxed. They just cme off my bed. Can you wrap? (4/30/2009)
Response: I can blanket wrap them. (5/2/2009)
Response: Okay. To recap: You can blanket wrap and put on a skid or pallet. Will there be anything placed on top of the three pieces in transit? How protected are they from getting dirty when blanket wrapped?
The set up would be second story. Is it allowed for you to quote the fee for that service? Will you take away the skid/pallet?
(5/2/2009)
Response: I can either blanket wrap, and ship these in a moving truck, or I can pallet them for you. If I put them on a pallet there would be an additional charge. (5/2/2009)
Response: Now I am confused. You put in a bid of $430. Then asked if they could be put on a pallet making it appear as though the bid included shipping as freight on the pallet. Then you asked if I could wrap them. Now you say you can blanket wrap and ship in a moving truck. AND to put the mattress and box on a pallet would be an extra charge.
Please explain what the original bid covered and, if in fact, the original bid is still on the table, and what about the second story set up? (5/2/2009)
Response: I can bubble wrap them to protect them. I originally asked if they were going to be put on a skid or pallet. Since they cannot be put on a skid or pallet, and you cannot bubble wrap them. I could wrap them with a blanket wrap, because it is cheaper. But Cheaper is not allways better. I would prefer to bubble wrap them, to ensure that they will not get damaged in transport. I trying to save you money. My original bid was if your maatress was already wrapped, or put on a skid or pallet. How soon did you need these items shipped? (5/2/2009)
Response: I want my mattress and springs to be transported safely. What is the estimate to bubble wrap?
I need them to be picked up on or before 5/12 and delivered after 5/16. Earlier delivery COULD be arranged with prior arrangemets.
I am going out for a while. Will get back to you tomorrow. (5/2/2009)
Question: Hi there, pick up this week and deliver to you next day. As you mentioned please have mattress and box springs in Uhaul plasitc, we will take care of the rest to secure during transit & haul to you for 380 cash upon delivery. If you can help my driver with your mattress, he will assist setting up in your home at no extra charge. Thanks, please view my positive feedback. (5/3/2009)
Response: Good morning, Tony. I like your positive feedback and your pricing, and your pick up and delivery schedule. My big concern is for the safety of my mattress on an open, flat bed, trailer. Should you get caught in rain, even the smallest hole in the plastic covers would allow water to leak onto the mattress/box springs. Do you have any other vehicles in which the mattress would be enclosed? (5/3/2009)
Response: Hi, thanks for the quick response and compliments. I do have other vehicles which are enclosed, but not your area at this time. However, I failed to mention (sorry), I would also tarp and strap mattress to my trailer. I feel 100% confident this will protect from any inclement weather conditions should they arise. (5/3/2009)
Response: Tony, you are winning me over. I will have to check with the U-Haul or other packing supply stores in my area on Monday to be certain I can purchase the heavy duty mattress bag sets locally. I saw that they were availabole online. If the stores are opened today, I will check today. Will get back to you ASAP. (5/3/2009)
Response: Hi there, just checking in to see by chance if you found any plastic covers? I will be in your area Tuesday morning for pick up. If need be, I can pick up a King and two single plastice covers for pick up. Let me know if still interested? Thanks, Tony. (5/3/2009)
Response: Tony I will make a final decision this morning. Will let you know that decision ASAP. (5/4/2009)
Response: Hi and thanks so much for the quick response. I hope to earn you business toda and truly not trying to rush your decision. I will place bid accordingly now per our discussion from yesterday. (5/4/2009)
Response: Okay, thanks. (5/4/2009)
Question: HI How far off of interstate 10 are you please let me know I can help you with this for a good price please let me know. Thanks (5/3/2009)
Response: There is no easy access from I-10. The most popular routes are exit I-10 to S at hwy 85 or 330 to Hwy 98. I-10 & 98 grow farther apart as they travel East. (5/3/2009)
Response: how far do u think a few hours or so? (5/3/2009)
Response: Basiclly, when you exit I-10 at 85 you then travel E about 10 minutes on 20 through Niceville, FL. Then you turn S at the Mid-Bay Bridge and cross the Bay arriving on Hwy 98 in Destin, FL. From there you travel E on Hwy 98 for approximately 1:45 - 2 hr. to the delivery destination.
If you choose 330, you come down to Hwy 98 on the East edge of the Bay, with no bridge to cross, and no Destin traffic, however, I-10 and 98 are farther apart at that point so the driving time to the delivery destinatiion is the same.
Personally, I use 85. (5/3/2009)
Question: HI weship11 again My price would be 350. Please let me know asap. Thanks (5/3/2009)
Response: We did not address protecting the mattress set while in transit. How will they be transported inside the vehicle, i.e., shrink wrapped, bubble wrapped, blanket wrapped, boxed, bagged, etc? Will you wrap? What type of vehicle will be used? (5/3/2009)
Response: HI I will cover them with blankets to protect from getting dirty or stained.I have a 48ft enclosed trailer Iwould haul it in. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Thanks (5/3/2009)
Response: Okay that sounds alright. (5/3/2009)
Question: Hi weship11 my price will be 350 pickup on the 10th of may and deliver next day. check my feedbacks . Thanks (5/3/2009)
Response: Will you put the mattress and springs on the bed in a raised townhouse? One flight of stairs to the main level. One more flight to the sleeping level. (5/3/2009)
Response: Yes I could do that not a problem let me know. Thanks (5/3/2009)
Response: Let me call the management company for the delivery destination, (a beach house on a rental program) tomorrow to be certain someone can meet you at the site on May 11th to let you inside. I will call them at 9:00 AM CDT on Monday morning, 5/4 and post the response immediately (5/3/2009)
Response: We would actually like to pickup on the 10th if possible. Thanks (5/3/2009)
Response: Yes, I understand. May 10th is okay for a pickup date, but I have to be certain someone is there on May 11th to let you into the residence. You did say you would deliver on May 11th didn't you?
I will call them tomorrow to ask if someone can be at the residence on May 11th to meet you and allow you to go inside. (5/3/2009)
Response: Ok well let me know tomorrow when you find out. Ill be waiting to here from you. Thanks (5/3/2009)
Response: will do. I feel fairly certain it will not be a problem to have someone meet you on the 11th, but want to secure a commitment from them before I give a guarantee to you. (5/3/2009)
