Questions for this shipment: 

Question: if i can get things booked fast enough out your way i can do the $150. do you have a time frame (8/14/2009)
Response: Actually there have now been added items, I just found out. It would be these from the one location I said: A sofa bed a sofa king bed and headboard flat screen tv- small mounted a big chair a picture a clock about one foot high And from a location 30 minutes away: 1-an armoire for bedroom-up one flight of stairs) 1-armoire for rec room around the back of house (no stairs) bar stools (2 light ones) All going to 20170 Since this is more now, let me know if you still have interest and if so, what you would offer for the price. My time frame can be immediately up until Monday, August 14th if you were wanting to do it right away. Otherwise starting from August 24th through 29th. (8/14/2009)
Response: 3 big questions. target price now. date your looking for. i may have a move coming to cleveland so i need those 2 days to be close. would this fit in 15 foot box truck. and is there help loading and unloading (8/14/2009)
Response: My target price is $400. I could try to work out a date close to your Cleveland move if needed. My preference is before Aug. 19th or any date starting from August 24th through the 29th. It would fit in a 15 ft box truck although the furniture needs be covered. I do not have help but let me know if you do not have another driver and dolly to help move the furniture. (8/14/2009)
Response: if $500 would work i have 2 dolly's and i can bring my wife to. i have some blankets and tarps to cover furn. i have straps to. let me know and i can place bid and talk to the other party (8/14/2009)
Response: Okay, that could work. How many moves have you done and can you provide references? (8/14/2009)
Response: i have done no moves. i am not a moving company. i do delivery work for all natures. in my area i am what they call a independent contractor. i do services for my self for other people. i have delivered staples supplies,surgical tables,moving boxes (bundles), produce,fed ex mail,sinks,and more. i have no nothing off this site yet. it's hard to get things booked fast enough before people take another bidder with out letting you know. i hope this helps. (8/14/2009)
Question: Are you looking for someone to load/unload or just provide the truck for you to load/unload? -4WeHelp (8/14/2009)
Response: We neeed someone to load and unload also. If that is a problem, we could possibly arrange that. (8/14/2009)
Response: Loading is not a problem at all. We are a real, licensed and insured moving company. We just thought for only $400 you must be looking for the transport and not the labor. Even a local move with 2 different loading locations would cost you more than $400. If you figure fuel, labor, insurance, licensing and the other fees a legal company pays they would lose several hundred dollars to match your price. (8/15/2009)
Question: do you still need this done. i have a 15 foot truck i talked to you before. if there's help loading and unloading i can do this for $1200 in a day or two. let me know. i have to book stuff but people don't know what they want when they list it. don't being harsh but it looks like you have answered 20 questions and don't know what price or date you want yet, not everyone is movers or have insurance but they are willing to help people out for a price. that price is not driving 10 hours working 4 hours and making $50.00. let us know what you want. feedback a plus. thanks kevin (8/15/2009)
Response: If you recall earlier, I said I needed references to prove you are a legitimate provider and you said you were on the road and could get that in a couple of days. There are no ratings on you and no one is going to trust their belongings to someone that cannot show they have been rated and are trustworthy. (8/15/2009)
Response: it never said i was on the road. i said i am a independent contractor and do local deliveries in my area. i am not a mover. i explained i had no work on uship yet because in order to get work you have to get multiple bookings to make money. no one wants to pay round trip. i just don't like placing bids and not getting answers for 10 to 15 days from people. when they list the dates expire and they relist. everyone wants something for nothing and the shippers don't make money after uship takes 20% of the fees. you book a $1000 job but you get maybe $800 that's a $200 loss. but when you tell people your bidding $1250 to make the $1000 clear that's not good enough. i am not frustrated at you just this whole website. another lady wanted items from virginia to umass for $40.00 that's what i mean (8/15/2009)
Question: hello i can pick it up the 27th or 28th and do it for 1,100.00 can show you my site after wards i have over 200 reveiws on it,martin (8/16/2009)
Response: The 27th or 28th might work well. My relatives have now gone out of town and did not get back to me to confirm any dates. I can't talk to them until the 24th and check their schedule. Whatever date is agreed upon with any sevice provider must be totally accurate as I need to get someone to leave their work to go to these two places to wait. I know timing can vary within a reasonable gap but it must be fairly accurate. (8/17/2009)
Response: please let me know if you want me to bid,martin (8/18/2009)
Response: Actually I leave my original posting right now. The main thing is I cannot set an exact date until I can confirm with relatives on the 24th. It will be between Aug. 26th-Sept. 7th. I also need someone who has good references, has transported large furniture without getting a scratch on it, and that can definitely show up when the timing is scheduled for that date and time. (8/18/2009)
Response: please let me know when it is re posted,martin (8/18/2009)
Question: Would you like us to rebid for moving you on August 25th? -4WeHelp (8/16/2009)
Response: My relatives did not get back to me and they leave tomorrow (until the 24th) so I couldn't get this figured out. I am going to repost this. My time frame will be better known when they come back. I can't pin down the date now until I talk to them but I need the furniture. It will be somewhere between Aug. 26th and Sept. 7th. I have received other inquiries/questions. Will you consider lowering your price? (8/17/2009)
Response: Cheap bids are often from companies who are not legally licensed and insured movers. Liability insurance is not the same as cargo insurance and so on. They may use small trucks and trailers or mix loads instead of using a true moving truck to focus on one move at a time. In the state of Ohio as in most states, household good movers are required to do things differently. If they aren't paying the same fees, taxes and licensing we do, they are going to be cheaper. We would love to lower our price but being legal doesn't allow for us to be "cheap". In this economy cost is a major concern so we understand that you may choose someone who is not legal to save some money. Please understand that if they are caught their vehicle may be impounded along with everything they are transporting. We hope whatever choice you make it works out for you. -4WeHelp (8/19/2009)
Question: my florida trip is almost booked. i will be leaving there and heading to your area and can load and bring to herndon. i understand our communication wasn't the best here but i see my bid is still active. let me know if i can help. this should happen in the next week or sooner. kevin (8/17/2009)
Question: WE WILL DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO MAKE YOUR MOVE HAPPEN GREAT (8/18/2009)
Question: Did you find a new date? (8/24/2009)
Question: Hello from Columbus Ohio. Putting together a truck run to Richmond, VA and points south. I could make your cargo my first stop. Do you have a new date yet? This coming weekend or the next works well for us. We are Redhawk Courier & Expediting and have DOT/MC and required insurance as well as 100,000 cargo insurance. Please checkout our profile and feedback. MrMoose (8/25/2009)
Response: Yes, this Thursday or Friday would work out the best for pickup in Columbus since we would need delivery by Friday or Saturday. If I can't find anyone to deliver in Virginia by this Saturday, it would have to be later next week, Thursday or Friday. Please let me know if there is any way you can do it this week and your price. Thanks. (8/25/2009)
Response: hello from Columbus and thanks for the response. We are Redhawk Courier & Expediting. I would like to help you with this move. I would need to pick up late Thur or early Fri morning and deliver straight away Sat morning. This would fit best into my timeframe for moving all of my clients. I include 100,000 cargo insurance with every bid. I will blanket wrap as needed. Will there be any help with the loading and unloading? I may end up alone on this run. I can make this happen for you on short notice for 700.00. Please checkout my profile and feedback. MrMoose (8/25/2009)
Response: Okay, the feedback looks great! The timing sounds good but do you know how late Thursday it would be? Or what time Friday? We are in Virginia so I would have to get my sister or brother in law to drive over with you to the second location in Columbus to pick up the furniture after you get some of it from their house. Can you give me some idea of the time frame...as long as it is not too late Thursday or early rush hour Friday. (8/25/2009)
Question: i would like to do it for the price i quoted to you i could do it for sure this thrusday or next monday for sure it would be for sure either one of these days would work i would hope thanks god bless (8/25/2009)
Question: Hi and thanks for the quick response. I have a few things going on with this run to DC. I would like to load Thur afternoon/evening if we can. Friday morning at 8 or 9 would be best since you seem to have alot of things and in 2 places. You said 30 min apart? Here in town or sub? Will there be any help with loading and unloading? How early can we atart in VA.? MrMoose (8/25/2009)
Response: We don't have anyone that can help in Ohio (my brother in law has a bad back) but if someone needs to then I do not know how to go about that. Is it definite that you would be alone? Dublin Ohio and Downtown Columbus are the two places. My husband could possibly help some on this end (in Va.) if he is here but that is not definite. In Ohio, thursday afternoon or evening would be good. Friday after 9am would be okay. Let me know the situation to see how this can be worked out especially if you don't have someone with you. (8/25/2009)
Response: ok...First..Let us see what a new day brings on the marrow and then make our time for pick up. 2nd...I can handle what help is needed here in Columbus. As for VA, help will be needed. It will either be me ( bad back and arm ) or my wife ( not the greatest mover around). But, either way your things will be there on time and delivered as shipped. If I can load up the whole truck with other cargo, it must be myself that drives. But I will still be alone. No, the wife and I cannot both leave columbus. ( we can't get along long enough for a trip like this...hahaha). MrMoose (8/25/2009)
Question: Hello...did I lose you...MrMoose (8/25/2009)
Response: Just saw your bid. Forgot to ask about insurance for the items. What about the extra helper? (8/25/2009)
