Additional Information: I have a Spaceball 2000 Human Gyroscope Amusement ride to transport from Fayetteville, AR to Parma Heights, Ohio (Near Cleveland). Ride is currently on Wheels and may be able to be moved out of building with them. However, if it is found that the height of the ride is too high to clear the doors, driver will need to remove wheels (very easy) and use a set of dollys (Dollys not provided by owner).Driver must be a safe driver, be experienced driving cross country, be friendly & helpful, and have 10 or more feedback points with no negative points. This ride can be towed with a heavy car, or a truck.

Please note that the picture in this ad is not of the actual unit being transported but looks identical. I didn't have a picture of my unit with the wheels attached.

Also Note - I have this shipment listed in another section where it can be transported in a truck/trailer as an alternative to towing it with a car or truck. Report a Violation

Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hello! I can do this for you in about 14 days for $650.Most service providers are going to want $1/mile,but I can use this for a backhaul,as I will need to get to michigan for another uShip delivery and pick up.Thanks! Glenn (2/15/2006)
Response: Hello - A while ago, you gave me a quote of $650 for delivering my Spaceball Amusement Ride. Are you still interested ? If so, could you tell me how much it would cost me to insure it for $10,000 ? Also, could you let me know the soonest you would be able to pick it up ? Thanks. Tim (2/15/2006)
Question: Hello! For $10,000 insurance coverge, premium is $95. Pick up will be 7-10 days (weather permitting. Thanks! Glenn & Michelle (2/17/2006)
Response: Hello again, Glenn and Michelle; I realize you may be out on a transport but I want to encourage you to place a bid if you're OK with the info. provided in my last question. I would like to make a final decision today or Monday. Also, could you answer my question about the cost of insurance for a little higher value plus verify that you'll be towing this rather than putting it in a truck ? Thanks. Tim (2/17/2006)
Question: Hello: Could it be possible picking up on Sat Feb 25th and deliver on Fri Mar 3rd? Would you be willing to pay $600 plus $95 insurance cost? Thanks. Easymoving. (2/18/2006)
Response: Hello - Why would it take you a whole week to deliver when the trip is only 1-2 days ? Would you be putting this in a truck, or hitching it to your car or truck ? (2/18/2006)
Question: Hello: Could it be possible picking up on Sat Feb 25th and deliver on Fri Mar 3rd? Would you be willing to pay $600 plus $95 insurance cost? Thanks. Easymoving. (2/18/2006)
Question: Hello: thanks for your prompt response. Your gyroscope would be at the front end of our enclosed cargo trailer. The dates we suggest are as long as a week 'cause we'll be picking up other three items and delivering other 2 on our way down, and the gyroscope'd be the last delivery. Thanks! (2/18/2006)
Response: Thanks for the quick response. Your negative and neutral feedback is just a bit too much. Your ratio of negatives/neutrals to positives is too high - work on bringing that number down to 98 or 99%. Plus with a lots of other things in your trailer, and lots of activity moving things in and out over a week, I am a bit concerned about damage to my unit. Thanks for offering to bid, though. (2/18/2006)
Question: Hello again: 1 negative (shipment never picked up) and 2 neutrals on more than 60 uShip shipments for us is good. We don't know why uShip posts a 93% rating. We've never have had a complain for damage and consolidated trips is our main business (your gyroscope'd be at the front end 'cause we use FIFO rules to deliver so we never move the items once inside of our trailers) Thank you anyway, we're at your order if you change your mind. Thanks! (2/18/2006)
Response: Hello - Are you still interested in tackling my shipment? Everyone I'm getting either has no feedback, or doesn't read my ad. You mentioned picking up on Saturday the 25th. Is there any way to make it during the week - either before or after the weekend ? Pickup is at a family entertainment center where there are a ton of birthday parties on the weekend and pick up on the weekend would disrupt everything and I'd get into a load of trouble. Anytime M-F would be required but you'd need to arrive in the afternoon/evening if you want loading help from the staff there. Please read my ad again and assure everything is OK with you. Ride is on wheels but if they make it too high to clear doors, you may need to remove them (Very easy - I even have a video I can email you) and use a set of dollies that YOU provide (I don't know why this scares most people away - these are typically used by furniture and household movers). Let me know if you're still interested and can provide complete safety, an (2/18/2006)
Question: Hello! Yes we are on the road!Can this item be tilted to clear the building? I have portable lights that I can mount on this item.Also, the insurance will be a bit more,but would need to get a quote,in order to give you the exact amount.I do not have any sort of dolly system for removing the wheels and moving this.I hope this answers your questions! Thanks! Glenn (2/19/2006)
Response: Glenn; In answer to your questions - yes Rings can be tilted to the full Horizontal to make the ride very low but you will be restricted to how much you can tilt the rings due to the width of the doors. If you can overcome this last hurdle and are willing to adjust to the situation if necessary (We all hope dollies won't e needed but if they are I'm sure a set of furniture dollies that support a minimum of 800 pounds each can be obtained in town at rental and hardware stores and I can email you a video showing how to remove and add the wheels - very, very easy) you are still my first choice due to your good feedback record and fairly reasonable cost. I have another bid for $600 with free cargo insurance if you don't think you could handle this transport. Let me know. Thanks. Tim (2/19/2006)
Question: for a simple move there is so much interest! He's promissed everyone he send mail to that if they can answer correctly they have the move. how many drivers has he promissed this shipment too? I cancelled mine when he downed corp and everyone in our business/ltlexpress (2/20/2006)
