Question: Hi! I will be in Philadelphia tomorrow around 12pm and could deliver in TX on Sunday June 28th. Will there be help with loading? I'am by myself and might need help. Is the desk broken down/taken apart? The cheapest i do this is $460. Please check out my feedback/profile. Let me know, Thanks Todd (6/24/2009)
Response: Hi Todd! Thanks so much for your reply! I will be in Dallas around the 26th of July, so there is no urgency about delivering the shipment right away. I just need everything out by Tuesday at the latest - that's when my lease expires. I already have reserved the service elevator for Friday at 3pm, would that be too late for you? My desk is folded together, but I have not taken it apart. I need help wrapping everything up. Have you included the 15 boxes in the price? They are regular size - the largest being 23'x23'16'. Thanks a lot! Raluca (6/24/2009)
Response: Thank you for the fast response. I'am just passing thru so tomorrow is the only time I could load. For delivery, I would only be able to deliver on June 28th. Yes, I would include the 15 boxes for that price. Let me know if this might work. Thanks Todd (6/24/2009)
Response: Thanks so much, Todd! That would be great, but let me please confirm with the management of the building because they are very strict about the use of the service elevator. I hope I can convince them to allow me to use it tomorrow at noon! Will let you know shortly - I am going downstairs to talk to them in 10 minutes. Thanks again, you're great! Raluca (6/24/2009)
Response: Ok, Just let me know. Thanks Todd (6/24/2009)
Response: Todd, I was able to reserve the elevator from 9am to 12pm, is there any way we could fit the move into that time slot? I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks again, Raluca (6/24/2009)
Response: I'am so sorry the earliest I could load would be at 12pm. I have to load in Newark, NJ at 8am tomorrow and then have to be in west philadelphia at 11am. If anything changes, let me know, Thanks Todd (6/24/2009)
Response: Todd, I will try to move all of the boxes to the loading dock in the morning, so that only the desk, mattress and chair are left in my apartment - that way, we will only use the elevator once. The concierge man said we'll work something out. I am only waiting on my manager to confirm that somebody will be at the destination on Sunday. I'll email you as soon as I hear from him. Thanks again! Raluca (6/24/2009)
Response: Ok. Sounds good. My truck is 40ft long(The size of a big Uhaul), will that fit into the loading dock? The height of my truck is 13 foot. Thanks Todd (6/24/2009)
Response: Todd, I confirmed that the truck fits. They would only need a certificate of insurance - do you have that? Thanks again! (6/24/2009)
Response: No, I do not have a certificate of insurance. What can we do?? Buildings normally don't let you do the move unless you have one of these. Let me know if you can work something out. Thanks Todd (6/24/2009)
Response: Todd, I checked and the concierge man said that he would need you to sign a waiver saying you would be responsible for any damage that is caused. Would you be ok with that? I'm sure we won't be causing any damage! Thanks! (6/24/2009)
Response: That would be no problem. Thanks Todd (6/24/2009)
Response: ok great! Thanks a lot! Then as soon as I hear from my manager, I will let you know. I emailed him and left him a voice mail as well, so I should hear from him shortly. Thanks again! Raluca (6/24/2009)
Response: Good deal! I have to work tonite, so I will be away from my computer from 4:15pm-10:30pm. Hopefully, I will back from you by then, and then I will submit my bid tonight. Looking at my schedule tomorrow, I should be able to get to your place between 12pm-1pm. Thanks Todd (6/24/2009)
Response: ok! Todd - worst case scenario, would you be able to hold my items at your Dallas facility until I arrive around July 26th? Just a thought. Thanks! (6/24/2009)
Response: I could store them at my house, but then I wouldn't know when I could deliver them back out to you. I do Uship as a side job for extra cash. I get a new schedule every week, so I never know where I'am going. Normally, I could promise you the storage and then deliver the items out in my pick up truck but you have to many items to fit in my pick up and that would cause me to take two trips which wouldn't be cost effective for me. Sorry (6/24/2009)
Response: Hi Todd, what time do you think you will arrive in Dallas? My manager will only be there in the morning (before 10:30am) and he can open the warehouse for you then. If you hold everything at your place, I could live with my best friend until you can bring it over in the large truck. What would work best? Thanks! (6/24/2009)
Response: I would arrive in Royse city on Sunday after 5pm. As for storing the items then delivering, I wouldn't be able to deliver until the first or second week of August. Have any suggestions?? What would you like to do, it's your call. Thanks Todd (6/24/2009)
Response: Hi Todd, my manager left me a message a little while ago saying that his plans changed and he will be around, so the furniture can be delivered to the warehouse on Sunday. So, it looks like I will see you tomorrow! After packing everything, it looks like I will have 20 boxes, some of which are very small. I could go to the post office and try to buy larger ones so I can fit everything into 15, what do you prefer? Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you! (6/24/2009)
Response: Sounds good! You can leave the boxes the way they are. One last suggestion, you might want to find a Uhaul store and see if you can buy a mattress cover for your mattress. That way it won't get dirty. I have furniture pads but a plastic cover is better. Also if you could move everything you can down by the dock, that would be very helpful. I will go ahead and place my bid now. Thanks Todd (6/25/2009)
