Question: Gretings...Kirk at Wings Horse Transport...we're making our monthly northern route coast to coast and would be happy to bring your horse aboard around the 18th/19th at $900 door to door...credit cards securely through paypal or cash/cashiers...our '08 Dodge Dually Diesel 4x4 will be pulling our custom Sundowner 8-horse 3-axle Supercruiser for the smoothest ride out there...over 23 years professionally moving happy horses coast to coast...thanks for considering us...Kirk at Wings (3/13/2009)
Response: Kirk, ... 2nd email!!!
I meant to see if I could schedule 'Zip' on your APRIL trip not the May. I kept thinking APRIL and wrote May instead. Thanks again, and I hope to be able to book this gelding's trip with your company. Thanks again, Leslie Alexander (3/13/2009)
Response: Hi there...happy to put you on the April trip...it's literally a month from tomorrow...let me know on that...Kirk at Wings (3/13/2009)
Response: Kirk ... I've just sent an email to the seller in Michigan to verify that this date will work for her too. I'll email and book you just as soon as I hear back from her. I am selling my horse and meeting the new owners in Ogden, UT next Thursday ... I'll have cash in hand to pay for the gelding's trip in full. I guess at that point, I will get your PayPal acct# and deposit the funds in it the following day on Friday. Email you soon, Leslie Alexander in Delta, UT (3/13/2009)
Response: Hi there...thanks for the note...we'll be leaving California on the 14th of April so the actual pick-up coming back will be in the 3rd week of April...that work?...let me know and I'll place that bid...thanks...Kirk at Wings (3/17/2009)
Response: Kirk ... your April schedule will work for us. Please give me a bid ASAP ... as I've got another service provider bid pending, too. Leslie Alexander (3/17/2009)
Response: Here's that bid...Kirk at Wings (3/17/2009)
Response: Hi ... I'm obviously confused. I thought that on 3/17/09 I accepted the bid from Wings @ $928. I do not know which other (bar) on your website to refer to confirm that I haved accept ... I think it was "Mike at Wings". I did need to confirm the p/u date in Michigan (listed as 03/21 - 03/26) and call the seller and make sure she was available. March 21st is tomorrow ... if I cannot talk directly to Wings after accepting his bid, will you kindly ask him my question and relay it to me? I've got the quoted monies in my PayPal acct and am ready to send it to his account after getting a few more questions answered from him. Thanking you in advance for your assistance. Within the last 2 hrs we've just returned from a short road trip, so I do apologize if anyone within your system has attempted to contact us by telephone. Thanks, Leslie Alexander (3/20/2009)
Response: Hi Leslie...if you scroll up and look at our prior conversation you'll understand why there's food for confusion...all our conversation was about May and, eventually, April as the month of choice...never March. We still have openings in the April 14th trip as we discussed (see above)and would be happy to help you make the arrangements through Uship...when you actually push the "accept" button contact information is automatically exchanged...we apologize if we in any way contributed to the confusion in this matter...all of Wings Horse Transport is at your service...Kirk at Wings (3/20/2009)
Response: Good Morning and Hi, Kirk: I totally agree with your last statements. When I pushed the "accept" button, we did not automatically receive contact info. from uShip. However, returning yesterday, uShip had sent us the email stating that we had declined Meridian and yours was expiring yesterday with this different info:
"Timeframe:
Service Provider will pick up shipment between 3/21/2009 and 3/26/2009.
Service Provider will deliver shipment between 3/25/2009 and 3/29/2009."
I still want to accept your bid and our agreed timeframe of mid-April NOT what was stated by uShip.
My "active" shipments show that your bid has expired. We'll attempt to figure out uShip's software (process) of accepting your bid.
Thanks, Leslie
