Question: Hi and thank you for the bid request. I will arrive in LA on the 15th/16th of Aug. Then I head up to SF. I will begin my return trip to NY on the 19th and arrive in NY on the 22nd/23rd. This could be too late for you. Let me know. I have lots of space available. thanks thzig (7/30/2009)
Response: Hello,
If we can wait 2 weeks for you, what would be your best price on this? Pickup is massive warehouse/drop is at curb onto my dolly. If the price is great we may be able to have them hold our merch. until then. Thank you,Kurt Antiquebabies (7/30/2009)
Response: Ok...If you just take these 2 then $425 a piece. If you take one more then $400 a piece. If you take 4 then $350 a piece. If you take 5 then $300 a piece. At 5 units it evens out at $1 a pound if each unit is 300 Lbs. As I said earlier right now I have room. I have other bids out so the sooner you decide the better it is in terms of me giving up that much weight/space which would limit me in terms of other items that I could take. Let me know. thanks thzig (7/30/2009)
Question: Can this item be palletized if so I have a great price for you? (7/30/2009)
Response: Please let me know if you can put them on a pallet-You would know better! If you can put them back to back, then their backs are flat and they would be between 4-5ft back to back and the 3 ft wide and 650+ combined.
IF you can lift up over 350 and put on the pallet then prob yes! But do remember the glass fronts on both!
OUR CONCERN IS THAT IT GETS HERE NICE AND EASY WITHOUT ANY BROKEN GLASS OR DAMAGES, AND PRICE OF COURSE SINCE WE BUY TO RESELL! SO...IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO IT SAFELY AND THE PRICE IS RIGHT, WE'LL GIVE THE JOB! AND...The auction is still running and we are buying more pieces so load may increase a bit, So give a price and then email again for an update to see if we bought more.
Thank you,Kurt Antiquebabies (7/30/2009)
Question: You have selected a feature on Uship called "book it now" when you listed this shipment. This "book it now" feature allows our company to click "book it now" with just one mouse click and you will have a legally binding contract with our company. Are you aware of this? We are giving you a courtesy e-mail just to make certain you understand this "book it now" feature and its implications. If we click this "book it now" you will be obligated to give us the job and to pay use the "book it now" amount you selected, in this case $725.00. We are strongly considering exercising this "book it now" feature and this will require you to have the shipment ready to go, a valid pickup and delivery address, and a good phone number on file with Uship so we can reach you immediately upon our exercising the "book it now" feature. If you are not prepared for this to take place, notify us immediately and remove this “book it now” feature. SAG Industries, Inc ~A 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK PROVIDER~ (7/31/2009)
Response: Hello SAG,
I saw your rig, it is perfect for these- roll them right up on a dolly. I read your good feedback. Yes, I think we'd like YOU to take the job-IF-
1)You are confident that you can move jukeboxes carefully without damage and are insured if damage happens.
2) The auction is still running,its over on Sat. they'll be paid Monday. Then you can pickup ANY DAY after that(VERY FLEXIBLE-PICKUP HOURS ARE LONG AND UP TO A WEEK AFTER THE SALE!)You have alot of flex for pickup & drop off. Pickup-gigantic warehouse w/help,Delivery is ground level-we just push it 60ft on the dolly and we're done.
3)Because auction is still running,we MAY buy another item?but it won't be a jukebox.It looks like(not sure yet)we may have bought a med.sized box+/-50lbs? IF we can add to the load in a fair way, everything would be fine. $725 is FINE, DONE DEAL! Is $50 ADDED good for the box? $775 so far? We'll have cash ready. Please get back and if all is agreeable-click BOOK IT,THANK YOU,KURT ANTIQUEBABIES (7/31/2009)
Response: Many Uship shippers do not understand the “book it now” feature fully—we are glad you do. The truck and trailer in our profile will not be in this area of the country--the rig that would pickup these units would be different. Must the jukes go enclosed or can they be tarped on an open trailer--assigning an enclosed driver at this price might be unrealistic, but we will try. We will work at assigning a driver to this shipment and we will not exercise the "book it now" feature until we have officially assigned a driver to the shipment. Upon assignment, a dispatcher will call you by telephone to confirm pickup and delivery address and obtain other relevant information to the transport. With that said please have a reliable phone number on file with Uship so we can reach you immediately. Terms: $210.00 billed to your credit card at booking and $515.00 due in cash only COD to the driver at delivery. Are we in agreement? SAG Industries Inc ~A 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK PROVIDER ~ (7/31/2009)
Response: PLEASE GET BACK TO ME NOW! IF WE'RE IN AGREEMENT, LET'S DO THE "BOOK IT NOW" SO WE CAN TALK IMMED.
THERE ARE BAMBOO CHAIRS, ETC THEY ARE COMING UP FOR SALE IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS FROM NOW, WE'RE CONSIDERING AND WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU BEFORE WE BID ON THEM! WE'D BE FINE WITH PRICE DISCUSSED FOR THE 2 JUKES & 1 BOX , AND DEPOSIT IS NO PROBELEM WITH YOUR GOOD FEEDBACK. BUT WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU FOR THE OTHER ITEMS ASAP WHICH ARE MAYBE'S. I AM ONLINE NOW, LET'S DO IT IF IN AGREEMENT. THANK YOU,KURT ANTIQUEBABIES (7/31/2009)
Response: Kurt,
The "book it now" price of $725 would only be for the two jukeboxes, nothing more. Also, we cannot "book it now" until we have officially assigned a driver to this shipment. Assigning a driver will take time to match you with a driver who can take this route without losing money.

Response: IS $775 (EXTRA $50) ACCEPTABLE FOR THE 2 JUKES AND THE 50LB. BOX? YES??? I NEED A DIRECT ANSWER ON THIS;
IT WILL HELP FIGURE PRICING, WE MAY BUY MORE OVER TODAY & SAT. SO WE CAN PLAN MY BUYS TODAY!
ARE YOU A BROKER? I ORIG.THOUGHT THAT THESE WERE YOUR TRUCKS? FROM WHAT YOU ARE SAYING WITH "OFFICIALLY ASSIGNED" IT SEEMS LIKE ARE LISTING ON A BULLITIN BOARD TO A 3RD PARTY? IF A 3RD PARTY AND I BUY MORE ITEMS HOW WILL BE STRAIGHTEN IT OUT? WHO'S INSURANCE COVERS MY ITEMS?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW NOW IF $775 IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THE 2 JUKES AND THE BOX? I'M TRYING TO FIGURE A FAIR PRICE. I AM ONLINE NOW WAITING TO HEAR BACK, THANK YOU. (7/31/2009)
Response: You would need to raise your "book it now" to $775 if you want the box to go with the jukes. We are a carrier, not a broker and we own our own equipment. We also have agent partners who we contract with to offer faster service and in more places. Whether it is our own truck or a truck owned by an agent partner leased on to us, the insurance is on file with us and all drivers are operating with active operating authority and adequate cargo insurance. Read our profile for more information. We will not assign a driver or consider exercising "book it now" until you have put in writing an accurate inventory of all items that will need transported once the auction closes--you are required to do this per federal household goods regulations and we must abide by federal tariff laws. If we cannot do things legally, we cannot work with you. SAG Industries, Inc ~A 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK PROVIDER & SATISFACTORY 2008 FMCSA AUDIT MOTOR CARRIER~ (7/31/2009)
Question: Can this be picked up tommorow ,saturday.Thanks,Whitey65 (7/31/2009)
Response: HELLO ,
AUCTION ENDS SATURDAY- 5 DAY AUCTION , THEY GET PAID MONDAY. PICKUP TUESDAY AND ON (OVER 1 WEEK TO PICKUP AND LONG WAREHOUSE HOURS)SO EASY PICKUP & DELIVERY. THANK YOU (7/31/2009)
Response: I will 'book it now'if I can p/u monday.Please let me know today,if you can,Thx,Whitey65 (7/31/2009)
Response: Hello Whitey,
Here are my concerns:
The auction ends on Sat. I will be paying auction co. on Monday, but I may? overnight it vs bank transfer, so Tuesday may be needed(Possibly Monday eve ok if we do bank transfer). 1)Do you have any flexibility for pickup? They have pickups for a full 10 days after sale and long hours, a massive warehouse sale.
2)Is this with a normal pickup truck? I read that you have a hard canopy, I don't want them in the weather - can you use your hard canopy and IF SO- CAN YOU GET THESE IN THE OPENING AT 4'10 They MUST be kept straight up and not tilted when moving!
How were you planning to get it up onto and off the truck? I figure-We'll need 4 guys at the warehouse and 4 here to let it off gently onto a dolly.
3)I now have(just bought)a sm.1ft.deepX2ft.wide wooden box also that needs to go to. If thats OK, then as soon as I hear back from you with answers to my concerns and if we agree on everything you can bid and I'll accept. Thank you,Kurt ANTIQUEBABIES (7/31/2009)
Response: Hi Kurt-my bad,I haven't had a chance to update my profile this week!
I have just purchase a 23' enclosed race car trailer,I have pad-wrap,softstrap,all that you need for whiteglove freight moving!I really will need to push for a mon. p/u,I was planning on leving today,but unforseen DMV issues have me here til monday.The extra box is welcome,andthe second you can confirm a mon. p/u,I will book.Thanks,again,Whitey (7/31/2009)
Response: WELL...THAT IS MUCH BETTER! I WOULD SAY OK BUT I CAN NOT BE SURE IF MONDAY OR TUESDAY!
OK...ASSUMING I CAN GET A BANK TRANSFER DONE ON MONDAY AND THEY CLEAR IT FOR PICKUP MONDAY AFT.-
LET'S TALK ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL BIGGER ITEMS IN CASE WE WIN A FEW MORE LOTS ON SAT. (I WILL BID ACCORDINGLY WITH YOUR ADDED COSTS CONSIDERED INTO OUR BIDS)
1)DO YOU HAVE THE ROOM FOR SAY A RELATIVELY LIGHT WEIGHT BAMBOO COUCH & CHAIRS? $______COST(FOR EXAMPLE)
2)HOW MUCH ROOM IS LEFT IN THE TRAILER?
3)DO YOU HAVE 2 DOLLIES TO PUT THEM ON? WE'LL USE OUR DOLLIES WHEN IT ARRIVES
I AM ONLINE NOW...SO PLEASE GET RIGHT BACK, WITH A PICKUP I WOULD HAVE SAID LIKELY NOT, BUT WIH THIS RIG YOU CAN ROLL THE JUKES EASILY RIGHT INTO PLACE! . (7/31/2009)
Response: You know what,I'm gonna go ahead and accept,and if we have to cancel the match,no big deal,Whitey (7/31/2009)
Response: OK! SOUNDS LIKE WE CAN DO BUSINESS!
I JUST CALLED THE AUCTION, THEY SAID IT IS POSSIBLE/LIKELY TO HAVE BANK WIRE TRANSFER CLEAR ON MONDAY AFT.BEFORE 5PM THEY SAID ABOUT 2 HOURS DELAY FROM SENDING.
SO...THIS IS THE SCENARIO, IF YOU CAN WORK WITH THIS PICTURE, AND AT MOST IF THE WIRE TRANSFER DOESN'T CLEAR BEFORE 5PM WE'LL ONLY HAVE TO DELAY PICKUP FOR TUESDAY MORNING...THEN WE HAVE A DEAL!
WHEN WILL YOU BE DELIVERING? THANK YOU,KURT (7/31/2009)
