Questions for this shipment: 

Question: is this couch ready to go now? thanks, uship id: timtim (3/3/2006)
Response: Ready to go! It's new, partially wrapped in cellophane (but needs more wrap/padding to fully protect it for shipping) and ready to be on its way to its new home in Florida (3/3/2006)
Question: Hi I can pick this up for you within the next 24 to 48hrs. I do not have 10 positives but, I have 10 years of practice. I have been working with my brother for the last couple of months and just started on my own routes. I would appreciate your consideration on this matter. However, I only accept money order, cashiers check and cash. I will place my bid below. Thank you,Terry (3/3/2006)
Response: Declined bid on 3/3. Insufficient feedback. (3/3/2006)
Question: Hi sorry about the problems with the feedback but,I can understand that. Making the deadline in Lakeland Fla would not be a problem. My brother has a graet number of feedback if you want to check him out shipper name knightmoves4u. And keep me in mind the offer will stand. (3/4/2006)
Response: Declined bid on 3/3. Insufficient feedback. (3/4/2006)
Question: Well,Iam still in Austin with my 100% and more the 10 feed back. I am giving you your wanted targe date and did respont to your question about the concern of unloading if I wast there at a certin time. At this point I guess your not interested in my offer, I will be here for another hour then will cancel bid offerand head out. Thanks, Jim (3/4/2006)
Response: BROCKETTJ submitted a $400 bid at 2:24 on March 4 to expire at 3PM same day. Bid stated "I RUN SOLO, SO WILL NEED HELP TO LOAD AND OFF LOAD." Since my listing clearly reads "need 2 persons to load & 2 persons to unload," at 9:03 AM I sent BROCKETTJ a detailed "sorry." I realize now that I should have also clicked the "decline" button, but the bid was due to expire at 3:00 anyway. This is my first shipment. I'm learning. At 13:36 BROCKETTJ cancelled the bid. At 17:26, BROCKETTJ felt it necessary to post a nasty comment at my listing site. Hmmm. Please don't let his sour grapes scare you away. My sofa is still waiting patiently at my son's apartment in the college town of San Marcos, TX (between Austin & San Antonio on I-35) for transfer to its new home in Florida. Ideal delivery is in Lakeland on 3/11, 3/12 or 3/13; but I will consider and balance all bids based on the quality and amount of feedback, references, bid price, etc. (3/4/2006)
Question: Yes I just wanted to know if you could provide me with some help on both ends for loading and unloading. Thank you Terry (3/4/2006)
Response: Already declined offer due to insufficient feedback. (3/4/2006)
Question: Tobad there professional customers like they expect the drivers to be. Just a reply to our questions and bids would be nice or remove there request from the site if not needed any longer. Jim (3/4/2006)
Response: See my response above. I'm working hard to learn this system and I am unabashedly honest. If the service you have to offer doesn't fit what I need as stated in my listing, then please don't bid. (3/4/2006)
Question: LETS POST IT ALL> RESPOND TO MY BID OFFER="Sorry, but if there's a delay, I can't guarantee that help to unload in Lakeland would be available throughout the day on short notice. The extra expense to have it delivered by you within the "perfect" time frame there just isn't worth the risk... but thanks so much for your bid. You're right that San Marcos is right on the road between Austin & Dallas / Ft. Worth, TX and it would be an easy pick-up for you!" MY RESPOND="There shouldn't be a delay, unless I have an medical emg. or an acciden, which could happen to any shipment. I saw a FedEx truck crash and burn comming into Tucson. I will be do in Austin by noon to 2 PM the on my way to Ft.Worth. I have a motorcycle to drop off at Eglin AFB in the pan handle, west. Then I can come to you. If this needs to be by the 11th in Tampa I can do that also. As you can see by my feed back I don't may comitments I can't keep. Thanks, Jim" (3/5/2006)
Response: See related responses to BROCKETTJ already posted. If the service you have to offer doesn't fit what I need as stated in my listing, then please don't bid. (3/5/2006)
Question: Also why is the name of the company in SM where the sofa is located allowed to be in the listing? This should have been reported by now. (3/5/2006)
Response: BROCKETTJ - again, read my listing. PB Outlet sofa is simply a description of the item, not the location. The location of the pickup is a residence... to be more specific, my son's friend is babysitting it in an otherwise empty bedroom at his apartment in the college town of San Marcos. My son (who is an Eagle Scout) and his buddy (also an Eagle Scout) would have been happy to lend you a hand loading IF your bid had come in at the right price, IF your narrow window of opportunity worked for him as well, IF my husband had been willing to leave work to meet you in Lakeland on your schedule and IF you'd had the right attitude. Good grief, BROCKETTJ. It could have/might have worked with more time to negotiate details. Trust me. Now I'm glad it didn't. (3/5/2006)
Question: I replied to your question, but not a declain to my bid, at 8AM and kept comming back up to after 1PM. You already knew that mI was in Austinfor a short time unloading two shipments. Maybe if you would have checked your email more then once in 10 hours (which is when you posted your first reply mlast evening) you would have seen that I was very flexable in working with you. One then for sure, there are more loads for drivers then GOOD DRIVERS (10 feed backs with 95%) to hual loads. I on my way to Fl. with a full truck and your shipment is still there. I gone, no more replies. Thanks for your input, Jim (3/5/2006)
Response: Enough said. Summary: BROCKETTJ’s 2:24 AM bid of $400 on March 4 needed help loading and offloading despite my listing that specifically required 2 people to load & 2 people to unload. He further offered a narrow, two-hour window for possible pickup in San Marcos. His bid was due to expire at 3 PM same day. At 1:36 PM he cancelled his bid – 14 minutes after his 1:22 PM email: “I guess your(sic) not interested in my offer, I will be here for another hour then will cancel bid offerand(sic) head out. Thanks, Jim” (3/5/2006)
