Question: i see that the boat won't be ready for pickup until august. but are you ready to seal a deal now and secure the shipment on a boat for then?? let me know asap.
thanks (7/12/2008)
Response: If the price is right, I would be able to seal a deal, yes.
I'm in the US right now and normally live in Sweden. I'm using the boat here until I'm going back the 23rd of August and then I want to get the boat back to Sweden. I'm somewhat flexible with the pickup-time as well.
Thanks,

Thanks,
Mike (7/17/2008)
Response: i am currently out of the office and at home. i will check in the morning and send it again.
thanks (7/17/2008)
Question: i just got to the office. i have your quote ready. let me know if u are ready to book this to secure the shipment??
thanks (7/18/2008)
Response: Yes, I would be ready to secure the shipment. But what is the quote?
Thanks,
Mike (7/18/2008)
Response: what price are u looking for?? $3500 isn't enough. i had the lowest price but yet i was declined for too high?? (7/18/2008)
Response: The best price I've gotten so far is 3700 dollars. That is from a german company which have a Swedish affiliate, so I would rather deal with a Swedish company for 3700 then an American company for 3700 dollars. That's why I would need a price of 3500 dollars or less to accept a deal.
If my maximum price of 3500 dollars isn't enough, then I'm sorry but I would not like to purchase your shipping services.
Thank you very much for your quote, but I must decline.
Best Regards,

Response: good luck with the bid for $3700. be very very careful for the hiddens fees. thanks and i am sorry my price didn't work out.
thanks (7/18/2008)
Question: sorry3700 (7/18/2008)
Response: Hi,
Can you please specify exactly what is included in that price?
If everything is included that would be just below my lowest bid so far and I would be able to secure it now.
With everything I mean: Transportation from Roswell, GA to Gothenburg, Sweden, with all Handling Charges, Port Dues, Insurance and Loading/unloadin. In other words, nothing else will be added to this price for me to receive the boat in Sweden?
(7/18/2008)
Response: That is correct that would be 3700 total 20% due at the time of booking to secure your spot and the rest upon delivery (7/18/2008)
Response: Ok, this sound good.
What kind of insurance would that be and through which company?
Can you please send me a detailed quote so I can make sure that everything is included and that there are no hidden fees.
How would I make this payment?
And please note that the boat won't be ready for shipment until the 18th of August and needs to be picked up at the 23rd of August, at the latest.
Thank you!

Response: your time frame is fine I have 1000000 in cargo insurance and the ship that it will go on will have the proper insurance or the port athorities wont allow it, payment can be made thru paypal or if you dont have a paypal account you can go to Greendotonlinecom and enter your zip code and it will tell you the closest place to purchase a Greendot Moneypack it cost$5 and you can then load the 25% to that they will give you a reciept with a num. on it and you just email me that num. also my insurance is through State Farm (7/18/2008)
Response: Ok, so I pay you approx 750 dollars now, you pickup the boat from me in Roswell, GA. How do I know that this isn't a scam and you will either just take my money or take my money and the boat and I'll never get my boat in Sweden?
Just trying to be careful and don't mean to be disrespectful in any way, but a close friend of mine was victim to a internet-scam and I'm just very careful when it comes to these matters.
Thank you!
Mike (7/18/2008)
Response: as well you should be, if you click on my username you can read feedback left by others that I have done shipments for I do things other than U ship also but they dont let me list them I have had a couple of cancellations I had a family member pass away and had to cancel but believe me they would have said something if I would not have refunded there money. You can also read the shipment that I have done for U ship and see what kind of service you can expect from us. Thank you looking forward to working with you. (7/18/2008)
Response: Hi,
Yeah, your feedback looks great!
What other things have you done?
Do your company have a homepage?
Thanks,
Mike (7/18/2008)
Response: sorry no we dont have a home page we are just a small family owned company. we also have a Licensed Captain and that is what we mainly like to do is sail but nothing going out at this time so when we are slow we see what is going on on Uship But we do all kinds of shipping anything from pets to ships (7/18/2008)
Response: What kind of shipping would you use over the Atlantic ocean?
RO-RO? Container?
Please note that the boat with trailer is 97" wide and will not fit in a standard 20 or 40 feet (ISO) container.
Mike (7/18/2008)
Response: ok let me check on that for you I will get back to you in about an hour (7/18/2008)
Question: Hello, From the sound of it, have you already found someone to move your boat? JTC (7/18/2008)
Response: Well, I haven't committed to any deal so I'm still open for proposals.
Mike (7/18/2008)
Response: Hello Mike, When are you looking to ship? Thanks, JTC Global Trans. (7/22/2008)
Question: would u like me to replce my bid?? and we can get the boat shipped out yet this month??
thanks (7/18/2008)
Response: No thanks, I got JandL's bid for 3700, an other firm that will charge me 4000 and a german company that charges 3900, so unless you will beat or match those I'm not interested.
Thank you!

Mike (7/18/2008)
Response: the guy u have above for 3700 will scam u!! the insurance company he provided doesn't do commercial insurance AT ALL so he is making a false claim right there and i will stake my life on that!!! i would check with that insurance company and see what u find out. and also the way he is proposing u to pay is just like sending money western union and uship advises not to do so as with the scammers out there. i am trying to give u fair warning. i am 100% honest and don't lie to my customers to get there job. if the guy ends up screwing u out of ure money and boat let me know as i just booked a job to haul some belongings for a criminal defense attorney so maybe he can help out that guy when he burns you out of both your boat and cash.
my price is pretty fixed. as i am only making $200.00 for my time off of it.
thanks (7/18/2008)
Response: How would you say is safe to pay then?
Isn't paypal a pretty good alternative?
Thanks for the heads up anyways and I'll let you know if I change my mind about your offer! (It was 4500?)
Mike (7/18/2008)
Response: yes paypal is a good alternative or else bank wire transfer. for overseas shipping those are the 2 best ways to do it. or else with a credit card. the way the guy above mentioned and money gram are usually scams!! yes thats what my bid was. i wish u the best of luck and god bless!!
thanks (7/18/2008)
