Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hello Shipper, we are a small, independent moving company based in Iowa City, IA. We will be traveling through your area around the 10th of January. We are professional full service movers with great rates. Let us know if you are interested. Billy, Adamantine Spine Moving, Iowa City, IA (1/3/2007)
Response: Hello, Billy, I would be interested, if you can match my $850 rate from Moses Lake, WA 98837 to Randolph, NJ 07869- if you have insurance, & an enclosed truck. Pls advise. Thank you (1/3/2007)
Question: Hello shipper, thanks for your interest and prompt response. A few questions: 1. Is there semi access at both ends? 2. How many stairs would be involved at each end? Let us know and I'll post a bid. Billy, Adamantine Spine Moving, Iowa City, IA (1/4/2007)
Response: Billy, unless my cousin put up a wall there is full access to both ends of my piano. There is a tiny 2" or 4" step up to the front door landing from the front walkway, I believe, unless you go thru the garage & weave around the house. The piano is like 5' away from the front door. There is 5 - 8' wide steps up to 12' x 4' landing before front door in Randolph, & then a huge foyer & piano goes in next room (dbl. door access) to left. There is a WHITE carpet in that room...so if Piano is messy, you will hopefully give me a chance to clean quickly before going in that room? Hope to hear from you soon. Charlotte (1/4/2007)
Question: Sounds good, one last question the piano is an upright correct? You listed it as a console, but I just wanted to make sure, our crew does not have a piano board with them right now. Everything elso sounds good. Billy, Adamantine Spine Moving, Iowa City, IA (1/4/2007)
Response: Yes an upright, but not a spinet, a console (better sound). Short back not a high back. & I don't know if it weighs 800 lbs or not, it probably weighs less, as I could move it from one wall to the other when I was growing up, as it has casters. I will call Nancy later today, to get more specifics & update my shipment tonight (hopefully) if she's home. I will definitely scan my picture tonight, whether I reach her or not.
