Questions for this shipment: 

Question: I am loading in NYC on March 3rd, any chance on getting the anvil to me in the city? Dave (2/26/2009)
Response: Yes; however, it would be in a cargo van and you would need a few people to lift it out as there is no lift gate on the van. Just as an FYI, this location in Astoria is only a few minutes from the Triborough Brige just outside of Manhattan. (2/26/2009)
Response: My problem is that we are planning to be at residence at 7am and will remain there until we are finished packing and loading which could be 7 or 8pm or later. Manpower isn't an issue as I will have 3 guys with me. I will bring the anvil to FL for $125, if that works for you just respond, and I will put in a formal bid. Dave (2/26/2009)
Response: This can work but I would have to send one of our drivers into Manhattan with the crate and that does cost us money as it will most likely take him a couple of hrs. with traffic, parking, etc. I have another bid for $129 that will pick it up in Astoria. If you can do this for $100.00, we can bring the crate to your location in Manhattan on the 3rd as long as you send us the address, phone number, etc. Please let me know if that works for you. (2/27/2009)
Response: I understand your situation. But even at $125 and after the uship commission I am only left with about $105, maybe even a little less. Maybe you should go with one of the other carriers and if for some reason you can't come to terms with them you still have me as an option provided I know before the 3rd. Best of luck, Dave (2/27/2009)
Response: Sorry...I did not even realize that there was a commission. It is almost a wash and you seem to be very responsive so lets move forward. Tell me where to have the truck pull up and we will be there. Thanks, Robert (954) 747-1000. (2/27/2009)
Response: Hi Robert, I will bid the shipment now, and once you accept, you will receive all my info. Dave (2/27/2009)
