Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hi Jeanne, We will be there tomorrow & Monday AM on another Uship Piano del.But, before I can bid, could you please tell me how many steps at PU & Del. we need to be aware of.? Is this 1st floor to 1st floor? We have a moving truck w/liftgate & we are experienced Piano shippers.Thanks! (3/25/2006)
Response: Sorry I checked this late. This is out a basement door in MD and about 50 steps around the house and to a first floor ranch in PA with about twenty steps to the living room. I will check back often. (3/25/2006)
Question: I have to say something here. Toolman just gave you a great price for moving your piano. He's going to have to run at leat 250 miles and pay a helper. And you of course want him to handle your piano with tender love and care, and have insurance to cover an damages should they occur. The reason I will no longer deal with uship is specifically because of folks like you. You want something for nothing. (3/27/2006)
Response: Dear Shelley, I feel a bit offended that you grouped me with your "folks like you" category. I have never used u-ship before. I have never sent a piano before. I have no idea what a "good price " is. This was my first bid and it was a lot higher than what I thought so I didn't accept it. I wonder if most people accept their first bid. Your e-mail has been helpful though. I assume that you have some knowledge in the area and if you say that it's a "great price" than I believe you. I am not cheap, only ignorant. (3/27/2006)
Question: can this be picked up on sunday evening? (2nd) (3/28/2006)
Response: I definitely need two people at the pick-up end. (3/28/2006)
Question: I should have mentioned that in my bid, that I would have a helper with me, thats why I needed to do it sunday nite. We are delivering another piano in New Market MD on that eve. sorry jim (3/28/2006)
Response: How about $225? (3/28/2006)
Question: thanks for the offer but no. good luck jim (3/28/2006)
Response: Thanks so much (3/28/2006)
Question: Hi, You have answered one of the drivers with "steps". We need to know how many stairs are involved. The lifting on to stairs is the key issue. Pianos weigh 500-700 and up. We have moved may pianos (check our feedbacks on USHIP) also on ebay, woodenappleantiques, and can do this in the $500.00 range. We require payment through Paypal to book it. We will be in your area mid/late April and can deliver on our way back to NY. Regards & God Bless Larry & Diane (4/4/2006)
Question: Hello, We are a professional moving company that has handled hundreds of pianos. We can pickup and deliver your piano for $250 flat this Thursday and deliver it later that afternoon. We have a 2006 box truck with liftgate and 3 person crew. Thank you, Keith Keithsmove (4/5/2006)
