Questions for this shipment:

Question: Hi, we are NYC Piano Movers heading in that direction this week. We should make it to Sedona by Thursday or Friday and our standard price for your move is $1180. That price includes disassembly, reassembly, and full value insurance. Please let me know your thoughts, and have a nice day. Thanks, John -- nycpianomovers (9/3/2006)

Response: Hi John, That sounds good. Since the house where the piano is is unoccupied, I will need to arrange for someone to be there when you arrive while you load the piano. Is it possible to have a specific day and time so I can set this up? I am at the receiving end. Thanks. Emily Silver (9/4/2006)

Question: Hi Emily, We will be in the Sedona area this week, by Thursday or so, possibly Friday. I will submit a bid next chance I get and we can work out a specific time. Thanks, John -- nycpianomovers (9/5/2006)

Response: Hi John, I have another bid for $950, can you match that? EMILY (9/6/2006)

Question: Hi Emily, if you were closer to a major city we would be able to come down a bit. Ferndale, although I have been looking for an excuse to get up that way, is a ways up there. Our price of $1180 does include handling by expert piano movers, as well as mounting your piano on a piano board. We are the best piano movers you will find, and delivery would occur within a week of pickup. We will be in Sedona this Friday. If you accept the bid you will be able to reach me by phone on the road and we can discuss the details. Thank you, John -- nycpianomovers (9/6/2006)

Response: Dear John, sorry I missed your answer by the time you were on the road. I am sorry to say I have not made the decision about who/how to move this piano yet. Will your bid hold in the future or is that just for this trip? EMILY (9/9/2006)

Question: Hi Emily, you actually got back to us just as we were passing through Phoenix, so thanks for letting us know. I wanted to move your piano and I still would like to, but it will have to wait for our next trip which should be in about two months. Please let me know, and thanks a lot for keeping in touch. John -- nycpianomovers (9/20/2006)

Response: Hi John, sorry, I was out of town and not only that, but I am a natural procrastinator. The piano DOES need to be moved, not sure I want to wait two months. Could you please send me a note at that time? If the house where the piano is gets sold, we'll have to speed up the moving. I would feel better if you weren't on the road in the Flagstaff area in the winter, it can be treacherous. Take care and let me know when you are headed west. Thanks. EMILY (9/21/2006)

Question: Hi Emily, Have you moved your piano yet? I have a truck unloading in Phoenix this afternoon could pick up late today or early in the morning our price will be $900 our company is Central California Movers we are fully insured and our guys hanndle piano's all the time. We do have a large truck (a full size moving van 70' lond) can we get anywhere close to the house? Please let me know if you are interested and I will send you a bid. Thanks Allen Campbell (9/25/2006)

Response: Yes, you're on. for specific instructions in Sedona, I need to arrange for someone to meet you at the house tomorrow morning. My name is Emily, my [phone number removed]. You can get quite close to both houses, the house in Sedona, where you will pick up, has no steps, and our house here in Ferndale has 3 steps and you can get within 25 feet of the front door, I'd say, both places. LET ME KNOW!!! Thanks. EMILY SILVER (9/25/2006)

Question: Hi Emily, we are planning our next trip out that way and would still love to get up to Ferndale. I believe we can lower the price a bit but again, not all that much really. We guarantee great service and expert piano handling as always. Please let me know if you can wait another month or two, and either way, have a nice day. Thanks, John -- nycpianomovers (10/2/2006)

Response: Dear John, Thanks for writing. We have not yet moved the piano. Please contact me through uShip as soon as you know some dates you will be in the area. I need about a week of lead time to arrange someone to meet the movers at the house where the piano is. I was hoping for sooner and may pursue other options, but check with me when you've got a driver out there because you never know. Thanks. EMILY (10/3/2006)
