Questions for this shipment: 

Question: I have placed a bid for this item and will have a truck in the area tommorrow afternoon. Thank you. (12/18/2006)
Question: Are we ready to ship this item? (12/19/2006)
Response: The items are ready to ship and a crane/loader is set to load upon my call...but I'm waiting for a few days to see if I can get a more attractive price. (12/19/2006)
Question: Do, you have a target price in mind? (12/19/2006)
Response: not really...I'm new at uship system and am trying to learn about how best to use it to keep costs low. (12/19/2006)
Question: I have a truck for you for pick up the 21 around 1pm if that will work richard987 (12/20/2006)
Response: That works on the Florida end but I can't have a crane on the Amarillo end until 12/26/06. IF they pick up tomorrow after lunch can we hold off on delivery until next Tuesday? (12/20/2006)
Question: that is fine he really wanted to deliver the 27 or 28th if you would give me a call and we can setup time 765-653-5048 (12/20/2006)
Response: We are set to go. The crane is available at 1pm. Here's the deal as I understand it: 1. Truck arrives about 1pm 12/21/06 and gets loaded by my crane. 2. The shelters need to be set on the flatbed so the doors are facing either the front or the back of the trailer...do not set them crosswise. You can see from the photos I posted how they are to be aligned. 3. Trucker double straps each shelter for trip. Needs to use edge protectors to keep from chiping the tops. I can't afford to have these things shift becasue that will damage the bottoms or tops. 4. Trucker delivers in Amarillo on 12/27 or 12/28...needs to call for exact time and date so I can have a crane available. 5. Full cost will be $2550. Pmt will be made by check (to you?) upon unloading/delivery. You and I will work out these details. Let me know if any of the above raises questions or concerns. Oscar 806-679-9163 (12/20/2006)
