how many pallets? can you load and unload?
Response: Should be about 8 pallets. I don't have to use pallets if that would be easier. There will be someone there that can help load it up at pick up. I will be at the drop off to unload but if they're on pallets I have no pallet jack or forklift available.

Response: : ok we would need all items boxed or secured to pallets
8/28/2011 Response: I can arrange for that
8/28/2011 Response: : it would be around 200 a pallet
8/28/2011 Response: How high can I stack the pallets? There is no other fees or anything? 8 pallets would be $1600 and that's the final cost?
8/28/2011 Response: : correct final cost,as long as the total weight is what you have listed... cant be taller than 6 feet
8/28/2011 Response: ok I'm going to get in touch with the guy selling the equipment and try to get more specifics on weight and how many pallets
8/28/2011 Response: : ok do we have a deal,if so i will place my bid after you accept you will get all my contact info sound good? ty elitemovers
8/28/2011 Response: So the shipper said they are standard pallets. We will only be using 4-5 but you can quote me on 5. The total of the pallets is around 1100 lbs. There is one item that is 60Lx28Wx54H and that weighs about 100. He does not have a scale but these are the highest guess estimates. I edited my listing accordingly
8/30/2011 Response: : ok based on 5 pallets it will be 1499.00 since your items are a high density items.ty elitemovers
8/30/2011 Response: Doesn't sound like much of a difference from before with 8 pallets and an additional couple hundred pounds. You're free to bid of course
8/30/2011 Response: : ok i understand i can do 1399.00
8/30/2011 Response: I was hoping to get the shipping down to less than a 1000 seeing its most likely going to be 4 pallets but there is a slight possibility of a 5th and one tank that doesn't fit on a pallet. Again you're free to bid. Thank you for your consideration
8/30/2011 Response: : we couldnt ship any items not boxed or secured to a pallet
8/30/2011 Response: The one item is too big for a pallet. It weighs around 100lbs
8/30/2011 Response: : they do make 4X8 pallets or connect 2 pallets together, carriers wont ship any loose items
8/30/2011 Response: How would he "connect" two pallets together?
8/30/2011 Response: : use 2x4 to attach the pallets together
8/30/2011 Response: ok so they are going to put two pallets together. Its 6 total pallets at 1300lbs
8/30/2011 Response: : ok it would be 1499.00 if taking up 6 pallet spots and 1300 pounds total
8/30/2011 Response: You said 200 a pallet in the beginning, correct? Now there is 6 pallets. That comes to 1200, no?
8/31/2011 Response: : but the problem is your items are based on density and based on the new weights even though the weight went down some the price per pallet went up as i get a more of a discount per pallet.so the best i can do is 1499.00 .so say you accept that bid and the i get the accurate length,width,height and weight of each pallet and my price goes down ill credit you sound good? ty elitemovers
8/31/2011 Response: I didn't condense anything. He had a lot of 55 gallon drums that were going to take up 2-3 pallets. I told him I didn't want the drums because it was going to be too much shipping. So I didn't condense. I declined to take everything he was offering. Understand?
8/31/2011 Response: : yes but based on 6 pallets and a lighter total weight and less pallets the price goes up since i get a discount per pallet being shipped so when there is on 6 pallets the per pallet price goes up. the best i can do is 1499.00 sorry.
8/31/2011 Response: ok. No problem. There was someone else that said they can do it for a lot less than 1600 and that's when it was 8 pallets. So feel free to bid
8/31/2011 Response: : ok but you dont have a better one than my 1499.00 and can you pick up from a local terminal to help lower the price?
8/31/2011 Response: They clearly haven't bid yet. Where would be a local terminal and how much cheaper would that be?
8/31/2011 Response: : ok so based on your weight and pallet size listed 48X40X48 little over 200 pounds each i can go down to around 1399.00 if you can load and unload the pallets?ty elitemovers
8/31/2011 Response: How much of that price is weight? What if it was 6 pallets at a 100 pounds each?
8/31/2011 Response: : cost would actually go up since your items would be a higher density class
8/31/2011 Response: So if I ship more and have more pallets the more weight the price goes down?? I'm just trying to figure out how the pricing works
8/31/2011 Response: : it would go down by the per pallet pricing,and with out talking to you directly its would be too hard to explain all the factors in determining how we get your total price. let me know if we have a deal so we can get everything arranged directly.ty elitemovers
8/31/2011 Response: Someone outbid you anyway so I guess it doesn't matter
8/31/2011 Response: : ok i see,well good luck with your shipment,sometimes we arent the cheapest but we bid without hidden charges and the correct freight class. ty elitemovers
8/31/2011 I can get this done for MUCH LESS than 1600. When are you ready to ship?
Response: I believe the person can have it ready by Tuesday or Wed this coming week. Or the person is available the next Tuesday if need be. I have to talk to him but it might be a couple less than 8 pallets. How much is much less than 1600?
8/28/2011 Response: : How accurate is your information: Is this really 8 pallets at 1500 lbs#
8/28/2011 Response: The person I'm buying the equipment from has a lot of 55 gallon drums. 5 steal and 9 poly. I didn't know how pricing would work with this site. I'm thinking it might be cheaper for me to just not take the drums and just take the other equipment that I need. The drums might just take up to much room on the pallets and might not be cost effective to ship. So that being said if I don't take the drums it would be less pallets and less weight. This is my first time on this site so I'm trying to figure it out as I go
8/28/2011 Response: : For us to give you the most accurate quote we would need to know the exact dimensions and weights of each pallet.
8/28/2011 Response: Can you give me a quote for 8 pallets at 1500 lbs total?
8/28/2011 Response: : Yes but more specific dimensions would be better. I don't know if your pallets are 36x36x56 or 48x40x82. I need to know how much truck space these 8 pallets will take.
8/28/2011 Response: ok I'll get more specific information and get back to you shortly
8/28/2011 do you still need this transported? $1200.00 no added fees, no pallets needed, And no headaches!! I can do this on my open trailer! be sure to check out my feedback and choose a transporter wisely! cheapest is not always the best. Any questions, just ask!!
Response: Yes I'm still accepting offers. Currently 1125.00 is the lowest and I asked if there was any hidden fees. Everything is already on pallets
9/3/2011 Response: : I am not a freight forwarder or broker. You will deal with me and me only from start to finish. No headaches and no "hoops" to jump through. I personally do the transporting. Do you have a way to load/unload the pallets?
9/3/2011 Response: I have no way to load/unload the pallets. I put that in the comments that the truck would have to have a lift gate and pallet jack
9/4/2011 Please take a moment to review our feedback and you will see the service you will recieve from us! Nothing but the best! No hidden fees and our bid is what our bid is. We will need help loading and unloading of the stuff on both ends. We will be in the area of pickup this next upcoming weekend. And soon after we plan on heading out your way as we have to go to Monroe twp, NJ and St James, NY. Your stuff will be safe and secure with us. Until we leave to head your way the stuff will be locked in our enclosed storage facility. We take pitcures at pickup before loading and after and then also the same when we drop off. Then there is no suprises. Our bid will be good for 24 hours only as we are booking fast for this upcoming trip out east. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Response: Are you still interested in bidding?
9/5/2011 Response: : Yes we are. We can replace our bid.
9/5/2011 Response: ok I'll be making my decision by the end of the auction.
9/5/2011 Response: : When does the auction end? Will there be any help at all at pickup and delivery?
9/6/2011 Response: The auction ends 9/6/2011 at 11:59 cst and I can arrange for one person to help at pick up (depending on the day/time) and possibly 2-3 people at drop off
9/6/2011 Response: : Morning or night? We can work with that help. It won't take long at all to get stuff loaded and be on the road. thanks for the consideration!
9/6/2011 Response: The shipper is usually off on Tuesdays so he would be available to help either morning or night. I would have to double check with him if you want to go at night to load it up. As for drop off I'd be able to help with some friends day or night
9/6/2011 Response: : I actually meant as when the auction ends if it was 11:59 for noon or midnight, sorry about that. As for picking it up, we will work with that person the best we can. We are family owned and operated, so we have no tight schedual we are on like company drivers.
9/6/2011 Response: oh sorry about that. It ends 11:59 pm
9/6/2011 Response: : lol, its ok. i should have clarified it a little better. i thought about that after i sent it. i will make sure to be on when it ends to see your decision. you won't be dissappointed in going with us!! Are you a little flexiable on your dates by chance?
9/6/2011 Response: Yes I am a little flexible. If a different date would mean a lower price, that would work for you then that would be considered but there is no strict timeline
9/6/2011 Response: : Ok sounds good. Thanks
9/6/2011 Response: So are you able to do 750?
9/6/2011 Response: : Sorry there is no way we can do it that cheap. We can't do it for the cost of expenses and we have a bunch of manual labor to do. Our price is more than fair.
9/6/2011 Response: Sorry that was someone else I was talking to and got you guys confused. What was your price again?
9/6/2011 Response: : Ok, lol. Its easy to get confused on here with talking to so many people. Our price was $1085.00 Our feedback shows the expierence you will get from us. So make sure to look at all feedback.
9/6/2011 Hello, are your dates firm or would the last half of the month work too? Also is there any reason these parts couldn't be loaded/unloaded seperatly without the use of pallets? Thanks
Response: Later in the month might be ok depending on the price.
Most of the company's wanted everything secured to pallets
9/5/2011 Response: : Thanks for you reply. The reason for the pallets is that they would like to just back up to a dock and roll them on & off, quick & easy. I use a large enclosed trailer with drop down rear door and would prefer to load your things loose. By that i mean the barrels could be double stacked, etc. and would take up less space. I plan to head east after the 15th, my figure would be $950-$975 total. What do you think?
9/5/2011 Response: That's kinda a long time to wait. Can you get your price down to 750 and you can load it up any way you like.
9/5/2011 Response: : So just to be clear as to what's going, there's 14 emty barrels total + the oil tank and misc. items that you listed above?
9/5/2011 Response: Sorry I needed to edit the amount of 55 gallon drum. There is now only 4 but the rest of the equipment is correct.
9/5/2011 Response: : Thanks, i'm waiting to hear back from a customer near you that i'll need for a back haul to the midwest. I should hear tonight and if so i'll bid for you. Thanks, Gene
9/6/2011 Response: ok thanks for getting back to me. I need to know asap, thanks. Here is my number [phone number removed]. Let me know as soon as you hear please. I need to make arrangements
9/6/2011 Response: : I have just bid for you, please check it over carefully to see if it looks ok to you. Please read the payment info. also. This bid is for balance COD. only, not for Safepay. If you have any questions please ask and i'll get back to you asap. Uship removed your #, they won't allow contact info. until a bid is accepted, after that it will become available. Thanks, Gene
9/6/2011 Response: The seller was able to get everything on 4 pallets. Does that have anything to do with the price?
9/6/2011 Response: : I don't have any way to load/unload pallets so i was planning to load things seperatly. Maybe someone can give you a better price if you would rather wait awhile. My bid is active for 5 days if i don't fill out. Thanks
