Questions for this shipment: 

Question: We can pick up and deliver on you time schedule. Our charge is $1.25 per (Negotiable)mile,usually,and $60 per hour on load/unload2 hour Minimum. (7/24/2005)
Response: That's more than twice our lowest bid so far. Sorry. (7/24/2005)
Question: I am moving my stepfather to Viginia Beach on the 14th and could turn around and have your stuff to Pensacola by the 16th or 17th at the latest. I would do it for the $400. Mark (7/25/2005)
Response: Since this would be your first delivery through uship, could you tell me if you have other experience in this field? Anything to make us feel more secure about being your first client through uship? What kind of vehicle would you be using? How much to add 4 or five boxes of clothing to the move? Would you have the room? Thanks, Rhonda (7/25/2005)
Question: I have a lot of experience moving families. I have been in charge or organizing, loading and unloading of probably more than 25 families in our church over the years. Never once has a single thing been broken or damaged. I love to do this and it has always been on a volenteer basis for my friends. I am moving my stepfather in law to Virginia from Florida and will need a way to pay for fuel to get home which is only an hour from Pensacola. Since yesterday , plans have changed and I can go sooner and would be able to have you to Pensacola by the 15th. As I mentioned before, I would do it for the price you requested ($400). Thank you, Mark (7/26/2005)
Response: Mark, Is there anything extra for gas, mileage, tolls, or anything else I haven't thought of? Would this be in an enclosed vehicle or a pick-up type? Do you have a dolly that we can use for the two heavier items? At what cost? OK for us to include some boxes of clothing? Anything extra? How high do we need to lift things off the ground to get it into the vehicle or is there a ramp? Thanks for your help in answering all of these questions. This is our first time. Maybe everyone else knows how things are done or maybe not. But thanks! Rhonda (7/26/2005)
Question: I have an enclosed trailer. No extra charges. I do have a couple different types of dollies. No problem with a few extras as long as you don't try to take advantage of me. It is 14" off the ground. Thanks, Mark (7/27/2005)
Response: OK, Mark, I think this is my last question. What are the dimensions of the space that we will be loading into? I don't think that I saw that information anywhere. A big thanks! Rhonda (7/27/2005)
Question: I have an enclosed trailer... 8'W X 20'L X 6'.5"H. Also have the open bed of my truck if you need that. Mark (7/28/2005)
Response: Mark, did you make a formal bid? The guy at Uship.com says that there's not a place to accept your bid because you did not make a formal bid. Heeeeeelp! -Rhonda (7/28/2005)
Question: No, I did not place a bid yet. Can't guarantee the exact date yet. I will know within the next few days. Of course, I will still be able to have you there by the 15th as promised. Mark (7/28/2005)
Response: Mark, I have another offer that I don't want to lose if you're not sure you're able. Would just feel bad if I screwed things up for you. -Rhonda (7/28/2005)
Question: Looks like I might not be able to do this. Sorry it will cost you a little more, but go ahead with the other guy. Thank you. Wish I could have helped. Mark (7/31/2005)
Question: Hello! If you will rent a Uhaul trailer big enough to fit everything I will pull it and assist with load/unload.Leaving for new york today and returning by thursday.Let me know ASAP if this will work for you.Thanks! Glenn (8/1/2005)
