Hello Amy, we have placed our bid of $225. We provide service in a semi trailer for very large loads, and we also provide courier service for items such as yours. We have used a cargo van when necessary, but your shipment will be transported by minivan to better protect your dresser and to make delivery easier. There is ample room in a minivan yet not so much that it will cause the dresser to shift or fall etc. We will need to pass through the state of GA enroute to TN then to NC to pick up other items which will then go south so your shipment is right on the way at just about the right time! We have the experience, our price is a bit flexible (if we need to tweak it a tad), and the timing couldn't be better. Thank you for considering our bid of $225 - Christine (Chrisnjme)

$225 Bid: Payment Method Cash, PayPal Payment Accepted Before Pickup, At Pickup, At Delivery Details Questions (2) Bid placed 8/11/2012 9:55 PM CST Expires 8/14 11:00 AM Timeframe: Service Provider will pick up shipment between 8/15/2012 and 8/20/2012. Service Provider will deliver shipment between 8/21/2012 and 8/23/2012. Service type: Blanket Wrap Service Mode of transport: Trucking Vehicle Type: Van uShip Tracking: Direct contact with Truck Driver at any time Additional info: We are new to uship but have been transporting merchandise since 1980 - from fine furniture in semi trailers to construction materials in straight trucks and work vans . . . to valuable, fragile items . . . even pets. We have a semi truck driver for long hauls and a courier driver who drives one of three vehicles according to the need at hand: a straight truck, a cargo van and a mini van (for courier deliveries). All items are padded and/or blanket wrapped and secured by partition to prevent items from moving but without being being tied or held in place only by straps which sometimes themselves cause damage. Your dresser would ride in a courier mini van. As with any courier job, we can arrive at the specific time and specific location that you set. We load by ramp to minimize the possibility of dropping merchandise and we do not stack items on top of other items unless items are boxed or properly crated as in a large moving truck. Additional payment terms: Other payment methods considered 8/12 11:12 AM Amy s L. Hello! So happy to see your bid. Apologies for the delay in replying, you know what it's like to move -- I went to take a "brief nap," fell dead asleep, and woke up 6 hours later :( . Your service sounds fantastic, just what I need, the price is fine, and I can tell by your comments that you are thoughtful and on the ball (not the norm here, by far). So, before I accept and halt my bid auction, want to reconfirm a few details: (1) that we will decide in advance on a several-hour time window for delivery in Decatur, between 2pm 8/21 and midnight 8/23; (2) that you will contact the (professional) seller directly, in advance, to coordinate an agreeable pickup time at his warehouse near Ft. Lauderdale, where the dresser is ready starting tomorrow a.m.; (3)that your driver will advise me immediately of any condition concerns before loading at pickup; and (4) driver will stay in touch with me by phone/text/email to report any trip problems or delays. Please advise, many tx, Amy 8/12 12:21 PM Chrisnjme (17 ) Hello Amy, we are happy to assist you and we are happy that you were pleased with our response. the driver will check everything when he arrives to make sure the dresser is as expected. My drive will call you at that moment. What ever time frame you set for delivery is fine with us. The driver will stay in touch every hour or two, we will let you decide. I will call the pick up location in advance to arrange the pick up time. Thank you, we can talk more in detail after you except the bid. Christine Chrisnjme 8/12 10:18 PM Amy s L. Hello Christine -- Good news! I heard back from rthe seller, and I think we're a go. From your bid, I sent him, "Service Provider will pick up shipment between 8/15/2012 [this coming Weds.] and 8/20/2012 [next Monday]." He had just replied, "That's fine. Just have them give me 24 hr notice. Thanks." I'm sure that will be workable for you, So I am going to accept your bid in about 10 minutes. If any problem, of course, you'll let me know. Also, - I asked the seller to reconfirm the 125 lb. weight, which was an estimate, but he did not reply. I think it's a safe guess, but wanted to be sure you knew these details. - In terms of updates from your driver to me, more is ALWAYS better than fewer. Just be sure he knows he can text to my cell or email me, and I will always reply. Here we go...your first UShip Voyage, congrats! Thanks again, Amy 8/12 10:35 PM Chrisnjme (17 ) Thank you Amy. We are waiting for bid to be accepted, only then we can contact the seller. We will start making the arrangements in the morning. Thank you again and God bless you. Christine
