Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Jeeeez - doesn't anybody follow the rules any more on here. Theres enough phone #'s on there to call to get this job done. Oh well :( (11/6/2006)
Response: This is my first attempt at uShip. Please feel free to enlighten me as to what rules I have broken..........The added phone #'s are for your ease to readily find a contact quickly, if necessary. (11/7/2006)
Question: I wish we could just get a phone # and then call you and set up a bid and then deliver and pick up the items that are needed, BUT USHIP has to have their 7.9%. So no #'s, E-mails allowed till after you accept the bid. We all wish it was easy but they make this difficult because of the time lapse on questions and answers. Just my .02 - sorry to rant. (11/7/2006)
Question: Shipper, look at the bottom of this page underneath the Bid Agreement box, click on User Agreement (which you're already supposed to have acknowledged when you joined up with uShip), scroll down to item #16, and it becomes obvious where you broke the rules. (11/7/2006)
Response: Thanks. Guess I got tired of reading by then........ Although, one would expect uShip to check before posting.......?? Oh, well. I'll learn. (11/7/2006)
Question: Now that all info is out in the open, did anyone finish the delivery-afterall thats what we are here for? Thanks; mac8hardwood (11/9/2006)
Response: No - not even an offer! I appologize for not understanding how this works - I'm suprised that uShip even posted it! My computer decided to act up and I just saw this ? and your bid. I'm giving it some thought and will have ??? for you shortly. Thanks. 100351 (11/9/2006)
Question: HELLO! CAN TAKE YOUR ITEM IN 1 WK OR LESS FOR 375 IN CLEAN ENCLOSED TRAILER WITH EXTREMELY CAREFUL HANDLING. LET ME KNOW FOR BID. THANKS, QUALITYTRANSPORTER (11/10/2006)
Response: I have reviewed your feedback and am quite impressed. Please send bid that covers all details, ie: packing methods/materials, inside pickup & delivery?, ship lying flat or upright?, tie downs?, Insurance available? And anything else that is normal and I just don't know to ask! I'm asking for bid to be as detailed as possible, so as not to take up too much time in further communicatunions since a decision needs to be made shortly. Oh, also payment methods accepted. Thanks, Michelle (11/10/2006)
Question: Dear Michelle; Here is the plan, when we take any cargo we handle it as it were my mom's,you would not only recieve the bubble wrap but a cardboard shell over the wrap and then blanket wrapped,put into Ford E-250 and placed layed down to stop any rolling or movement, it comes with a 2 man crew,We deliver live cargo also from Hopkins, Cleve.[Police dogs] so we do handle with care,Get back soonly, Joyce and we will Get you delivered,weekend deliveries fill up fast. (11/10/2006)
Response: Thank you for your response. Your wrapping and handling methods are exceptional. I forget - did I ask about insurance? This has been a most interesting experience. I find that I prefer 'the little guys' - the personal attention given makes me more trusting. You are one of my two finalists and I hope to make a decision by the end of the day. ~ Michelle (11/10/2006)
