Questions for this shipment:

Question: I am not a moving company, but I grew up in the moving and storage business and I was an owner operator with a major nation wide van lines for several years. (The van lines I worked for had the contract to move and set up Steinway Pianos - very high value merchandise and discriminating customers to say the least) I currently work for Los Angeles Fire Department as a supervisor and I do odd hauling jobs to provide work and business opportunities for my teenage sons. My wife is an artist. She creates custom mosaic designs - very fragile and hard to ship. I have perfected a packing method where I create custom containers out of styrofoam sheeting. When I pack art work it does not move around in its containter and it is protected from all outside damage. I will provide door to door same day service. Please respond if interested. I am eager to place a competitive bid on your shipment. Best regards, Mark Clark - Whittier, CA (9/9/2009)

Response: Please feel free to provide a bid. Thank you. (9/9/2009)

Question: Correction: I will deliver to Hemet, CA. My appologies. I saw your user name "Paris" (spelled differently - I know - but it made me think of Perris, CA which is really close to Hemet. Best regards, Mark Clark - Whittier, CA (9/12/2009)

Response: Thanks for the information and bid. I'd like to be able to use you, but UPS will pack and ship for about $100 less. Good luck with your new business venture! (9/12/2009)

Response: I am bidding on another shipment in your area which I plan to pick up next Saturday - 9/19. If this other shipper accepts my bid, I will submit another lower bid to you to transport your paintings to Perris, CA for $275.00. Are you be willing to pay this lower amount for the same service and pickup / delivery dates that I proposed in my prior bids? Please advise. I am eager to earn your business and your positive feedback. Best regards, Mark Clark - Whittier, CA (9/13/2009)

Response: I am waiting for the framers to finish their work. I expect them to be done 9/18, but cannot guarantee the pieces will be ready 9/19 right now because I won't know until 9/18 when they call to tell me they're ready to be picked up. Sorry I cannot commit, but appreciate you coming down on your bid. The buyer is actually paying for it, so I feel it is my duty as the seller to try to find the best deal for him. (9/14/2009)

Response: Please contact me when you are ready to ship the paintings. If I can handle the order, I will submit a bid for 275.00. Thanks - Mark Clark (9/15/2009)

Question: Will provide door to door service: Pick up on 9/19 in Monterey. Deliver 9/20 in Perris. Will wrap paintings in soft material then pack in suitable crate. My bid includes labor and materials and all services will be performed personally by me. I will also pack items in your presence and to your satisfaction. Prior to the items leaving Monterey, you will be most assured of my ability to safely transport your items. I am new to U-ship, but not the moving business. Even though I work full time for Los Angeles Fire Department, my goal is to establish myself as a competive service provider to provide work opportunities for my teen age sons. For this reason I am willing to discount by bid to this amount, but I won't discount my service as I covet good feedback to add to my service provider profile. If you accept my bid, I will make definite plans to complete this order. Best regards, Mark Clark - Whittier, CA (9/12/2009)

Question: Hi, I could pick these up on the 23rd or the 24th. Do you still need them shipped? Thanks. (9/18/2009)

Response: Hi, yes, those dates would work. What is your bid? I just received one for $225 I'm considering. Thank you, Kristin & Paris (9/18/2009)

Response: Hi Guys, my bid is currewntly 325, I do not see one for 225, only 250, but please look at my feedback and you can see I get the job done and do it right, I currently hold the transporte3r of the month title too. Many times I have bid on shipment, they accepted the lowest bid they got and ended up cancelling the match and either have me ship it later, or have it shipped for more than my bid if I was not able to return, with all said what bid would you accept from me for those dates? Thanks, Dennis (9/18/2009)

Response: UPS only charges $174, excluding the packing materials, so honestly, we might have to go with UPS. $225 is the only bid we'd be able to consider. We are shipping to the buyer and he is paying for all shipping charges, but we feel it's our duty to find him the best rate. Thank you. Let us know if you're still interested. (9/18/2009)
