Response: I am not in a hurry to move the tub. Probably within a month. The price will depend on the best estimate I receive. I don't know what the rates will be yet. (1/24/2008)
Response: Hello Shipper, We are a Moving Company that will move this shipment DISCONNECTED for 500.00. I look forward to speaking with you.Thank you, Alyssa (1/24/2008)
Question: Is the hot tub dissconnected? What is the situation? Does it go around the back of the house? Is the delivery end also grass around the back? Are there steps to deal with? All questions are for an accurate quote. Also how many person hot tub? (1/24/2008)
Response: Not disconnected yet, but you could give me a quote with disconnecting and without disconnecting. Only connected to power supply. It sits on a poured concrete slab. It is at the back of the house and there are no steps to deal with. You have to walk through a lawn to get to the tub. It is a six person tub. (1/24/2008)
Response: The water is out of the tub correct? It is no problem disconnecting the power. We can do $525 is that close enough? (1/24/2008)
Response: I see that some of the bids I am getting is more than the amount I paid for the tub. I am looking for less than $350. (1/27/2008)
Question: hello shipper do you have a target price in mind and to disconnect power to your hot tub you should probably have a licensed electrician do so.please review feedback and profile under provider directory {clnbiker} for i've move hot tubs in the past ...thanks mike and could have 3-4 guys come out to do so after the hot tubs is disconnected .. what dates did you have in mind ? (1/24/2008)
Response: No specific dates. Whatever is the best price I receive. (1/27/2008)
Response: You've got some pretty good prices there. I can do it for 475.00. please check out my profile and feed back and let me know what you think. Also is there any steps or fences ? Is there a walk way ? is this flat ground or do we have any hills? Like I mentioned before I have moved many hot tubs and some from very diffficult places, However we have never had one get damaged. Thanks and look forward to hearing back from you. ~ Mike (1/27/2008)
Response: No steps. There is one fence, but I'll remove the fence and put it back once the tub is moved. What does the $475 include? (1/28/2008)
