Live Little Gem Magnolia Trees - 4 x 45 Gal. Ea.

Response: Pick up is at St. Helena Island, SC - 29920 Delivery is Greensboro, NC - 27410 Thanks for your cooperation. Duane 4/30/2008

Response: Just called the customer he is unable to accept the trees today unfortunately. He has asked me to give him at least 2 days to find some help to assist with moving these trees. The trees can weigh up to 500lbs when fully saturated, and he will need help moving the trees from curbside to the area that they will be planted, about 30 ft. Thanks A Bunch Tina4/30/2008

Response: We will contact the tree purchaser this morning and see if he can accept shipment over the weekend. We had made tentative arrangement with a shipper but could not work out the timing so the load is still available. If you wish to submit a bid, please do so and if the owner can take delivery this weekend we will proceed. Our tree farm is open 7 days a week so no problem with pickup time at all. Thanks, Duane 5/2/2008

Response: : Good morning Duane, I have re-contacted the company of the load we are waiting on as of 7:00 A.M. this morning to please expedite a reply. I will contact you immediately upon recieving that reply. *** If your customer cannot recieve trees over the weekend we are able to secure them here in our warehouse in Hickory N.C. and provide your customer with a Monday or Tuesday delivery in Greensboro. I would not want to keep them any longer than that due to freshness at delivery ! There would also be an additional $60.00 charge added for the additional trip from Hickory to Greensboro and return. It's obvious thats simply covering costs no additional pay. I hope this helps your coordinations. Thank you Duane. RoadMasters !5/2/2008

Response: (Duane's Secretary) I have contacted our customer and he would love to have the trees this weekend. It will be perfect timing for him to try to find some assistance with the trees. He was also very happy that there will be 2 men delivering, as these trees can be quiet heavy for one person. Can't thank you enough for your assistance and flexibility. Tina5/2/2008

Response: : Hi Tina, Please be advised that we are waiting on a load from Charlotte to Savannah. Then we have a pick up in Savannah and will swing by and add your load as well. I would like Duane to know if we do not get the load to Savannah this trip will not go. That is only fair. If he gets another offer that works for him we will understand. We greatly appreciate your patience. I'm sorry for this delay. If I here anything from this primary shipper I will notify you immediately of our status. If the trip is confirmed, I will place a formal bid immediately and take care of you guys as well. Greatly appreciate your communication skills. RoadMasters5/2/2008

Response: Good Morning Roadmasters. Thought I would check with you and see if you had any further info on our shipment. Did not hear back so I am assuming you don't yet have a confirmation on your other load near our area. Kindly advise what the status is. Thanks, Duane 5/3/2008

Response: : Good morning Duane, Unfortunately our shipper has not come through. I met his book it now price just to get the load and have notified him several times. As of 7:00 A.M. this morning. No response. I have begun to look for another load in that direction and will cancel his bid at noon today due to his actions. I also passed on to Tina to tell you if you get another hauler we will not be offended if you accept there bid. I see Ken is trying to help you as well. We will continue to watch your load until your shipping needs are resolved. Regrets RoadMasters! 5/3/2008

Response: Thanks for getting back with me. Just talked with the Buyer and he is waiting to receive his trees now. Just relayed what you said and will keeping working on it. Stay in touch if anything develops on your end. Appreciate you assistance. Duane 5/3/2008

Response: : Hi Duane, I really wish we could have helped you with this. As of now I am cancelling our bid with the primary shipper. While waiting, I did some detective work. he has several complaints for not accepting his own buy it now features. 3 are posted at this time ! I have spent the last hour reporting him to ship due to his actions. you have suffered, your buyer, my shipper in Savannah, and myself because of one man abusing the system and looking for a better deal than he himself posted. If you care to look. search shipments from Charlotte to Savannah 2005 caterpillar 303 mini excavator. He also has a dozer posted and a bobcat out of greensboro that I assume left Friday. As stated before we will continue to watch your load until you get it resolved. Wishing you the best of luck. RoadMasters!5/3/2008
