Question: Hi I see you on a lot I am based in Greenville SC. Usually your shipments are to small to consider. I am going to Virginia soon and Texas later in the month. Can you batch ship anything so it would be worth bidding on. I would love to help but not at a loss. Thanks

Response: Thanks for your question. I'm sure we may be able to do some type of batch ship to make your shipping our trees profitable. We are open to any suggestions you may have.
Thanks Again and feel free to contact me anytime.

Response: Good Morning, I will enter a low bid that allows us to discuss this shipment. If you accept this bid you may decline for various reasons. The inability to communitate properely thru the email system makes it hard to batch loads from your area. Thanks (usingmytime) Charles Davis (6/1/2008)
Response: Hi Charles,
There definitely needs to be a better system in place to communciate however I understand UShip's position on people trying to avoid paying them for there service. Get back to be again and perhaps we can figure something out. I general use hotmail for my email but the system does not allow for me to give you my email address.
Thanks,

Response: Hi unless by magic a email has reached you. Accepting the bid is the only way to discuss this. Always remember a bid can be declined for non negative reasons if we can't work out the times and details Thanks Charles Davis (6/1/2008)
Response: Thanks for the reply and I'll consider your suggestion. (6/1/2008)
Question: If you meet me at exit 33 off Rt. 95 I'll put a bid in for 175.00 Shofar (6/10/2008)
Response: We have another shipment going north on I-95 to MA around this coming Thursday. What are the possibilities of us meeting you in say, perhaps Dillon, SC @ I -95? That would put this delivery approximately 100 miles away from destination. We are trying to reduce shipping costs for our customer as he only has four (4) trees. Thanks for your consideration.

Response: What is your best price that you can pay for shipping. Shofar (6/15/2008)
Response: Customer only wishes to pay $100.00 but we might contribute something just to get his trees to him and help him get his landscaping job finished.
Thanks for your inquiry. I know what fuel prices are and it's just our customer are scrapping to try to make things work.
Thanks Again,
Duane (6/15/2008)

Question: Is this bid still active? We are a hot shot transporter. We haul trees in Florida weekly for places like Soaring Eagle and Pig. Are familiar with tarping trees and handling with care. We will be going your way and may be able to work something out. Whoever you grant the bid to, please make sure they know how to haul trees or your customer may be very upset when they arrive after traveling that distance. Let me know. Thanks. (6/16/2008)
Response: We just let the shipping go but have another posted right now for MA. I appreciate your contacting me and feel free to take a look at our other shipment. It's 60 - 20 Gallon Crape Myrles and 5 - 7 Gallon Camelias. Thanks for your question and we are always interested in tree shippers. If the other order is of interest to you contact me back ASAP as we are preparing to ship ourselves if necessary and I think there are several return loads avaivable right now as well with other shippers for various items.
Thanks Again,
Duane Julian (6/16/2008)
