Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hello Mr Bell, Mike here with Southern Maryland Moving & Storage, out of Newburg MD. I have a trip I plan to load around the 14th - 16th, headed to Tx. I can get your shipment on this truck if you can be picked up around this time for 1600.00. Please check out my profile and feedback and let me know if you have nay questions. Thanks ~ Mike (9/8/2009)
Response: Hi Mike... I saw your profile and I read your feedback during an earlier UShip search and I feel that I can trust you. I hope we can do business. I will have all of my goods in my ground level garage for easy pick-up. Delivery would be to a ground level garage at my sweetie's home in Austin for easy off-loading. I have two questions at the moment: 1) My major concern would be... what would be the shipment's ETA? I am aiming for September 30th as the earliest ETA. I'd need to assure that the garage in Austin would be ready for an earlier arrival. 2) Am I correct that you would provide the labor to transfer the goods onto your trailer at my house and to off-load the goods in Texas? (In other words, you are not just dropping off an empty trailer for me to load myself?) Please advise. (And thanks for your quick bid. I'll likely have other questions.) Sincerely, Bob Bell (9/8/2009)
Response: Hi Bob, thanks for the quick response. I will be at delivery point around the 18th -21st. I will load and unload the shipment. I have my local guys at pick up and family that always helps me in Austin, TX. Please let know if you have any further questions. Hope we can work this out. Thanks ~ Mike (9/8/2009)
Response: Hi Mike... The destination garage is at my sweetie's house, so I'll need to get back to you after I ask her whether the space will be cleared in time and if she'll be at home to meet the van on delivery day. (I won't arrive in Texas myself until September 29th.) Can I have (up to) a day to reach her before I accept your bid? How much advance notice will you be able to give her of the actual delivery day? I don't have large enough boxes for my adult bicycle, a large computer chair, and some large tools, so they will not be boxed. I hope that won't be a problem. I inflated my estimate of 600 cubic feet by 15 to 20% to allow for unforeseen late additions to my cargo. Thanks again, Bob Bell (9/8/2009)
Response: No problem, let me know as soon as you can. If we get there and she needs a hand moving a couple things,we'll help. I will be able to give her at least 48 hrs notice. I will also call her with a tenitive date when I leave Maryland. If my bid expires, just send me a re-bid request. Look forward to working with you. Thanks ~ Mike (9/8/2009)
Response: Hi Mike... Thanks for giving me a chance to check with my sweetie. I'm afraid the news is not good. The timing of your trip will not work for us. Her garage is full with goods that won't be removed until her current guest leaves at the end of September. The earliest I could accept your delivery would be the 30th. I appreciate your bid and your patience! Sincerely, Bob (9/9/2009)
Response: Hi Bob Thanks for getting back to me. I have a couple options. 1) I can pick up and hold at my facility until About the 2nd week in Oct. when I will be coming back to TX again. (No charge for storage or reloading)2) I can take the items to Austin the place in a public storage facility with the first months storage free, then you can either wait til I am on my way back through and I will get it and bring it over or you can rent a truck and I'll line up 2 guy's to load and then unload it for you. Let me know if either of these works for you. thanks again ~ Mike (9/9/2009)
Response: Hi Mike... You definitely get an "A+++" for effort. Your feedback is correct that you go the extra mile to satisfy your clients. But as I have two other bidders (one at the same price and one lower), I'm going to choose a provider that matches our timeframe for the sake of domestic harmony. Genuine thanks, Bob (9/9/2009)
Response: Thank you Bob for your consideration and looks like Jeff will be your man. Please keep us in mind should you ever need any other assistance. (9/9/2009)
