Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Will these fit in a 40' shipping container? And is the weight of 14,000 accurate? (11/7/2009)
Response: I do not know for sure if a 40 ft container will hold all the trees and wreaths, but i do know that a regular van can hold 700 to 750 trees, I will be having 400 trees and 206 wreaths that are in bundles. i can call the farm on monday and find out for sure. I do not know the leagnth of a van but it would seem we are shipping a little more than a half a load for a van. i based the weight on the average tree which is about 30 lbs. and for the wreaths added 2000 more pounds. I am quite sure i over stated the total weight. if you need me to get more accurate info if the trees will fit i can on monday am (11/7/2009)
Response: ya, see what they say about fitting into a 40' container and what kind of weight they have. I appreciate it. Thanks, Bryan (11/7/2009)
Response: can you give me the height and width of the container so i can tell the farm to make sure we are accurate on weather or not it will fit? (11/9/2009)
Response: Inside dimensions are 39'6" long, 92" wide and 94" high. Total cubic feet is 1170. Thanks, Bryan (11/9/2009)
Response: i think your math is slightly off, using your dimensions your total cb ft would be about 2200. I spoke with the farm and they said i have 2116 cbft to ship and they say it will fit. Also the total estimated weight is 8 tons. these people ship 1000's of trees every year so i trust their estimates. what price can you deliver to me? (11/9/2009)
