Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hi there, do you still need this shipment done. I travel regularly between the Carolinas and the Northeast. Let me know please. Thanks James (5/18/2005)
Response: Yes we do. Are you new to u-ship? I see that you don't have any feedback yet. (5/18/2005)
Question: Hi, we're not new to Uship at all. Just haven't bid on very much. We've actually done several jobs on here, but for some reason our customers have not listed any feedback. Judging from the repeat business from them and the verbal feedback, they were satisfied with our service. Also, there are a ton of references I can provide to you from others who have used our service outside of Uship. We are a small company with an emphasis on high quality service and affordable rates. Let me know if there are any further questions I can answer for you. James (5/18/2005)
Response: Hi James, What is the name of your company? I'd also be interested to see some of your references. If you're able to do the shipment for $300, I think we'll definitely be interested! (5/18/2005)
Question: The name of our company is StrongMan Moving Company. We have a dot com address by the same name. We can do it for $300. It's kinda tough to give the references via this system. Everything we do in this area prior to bidding is in the public eye. (5/18/2005)
Response: Are you MacArthur's StrongMan Moving Company? I found the website. I noticed that you bid $325? Can you not do it for $300? We just put out $1200 for a Budget truck to move from Miami to Chapel Hill, so we were really hoping to get these items from my Mom's in Philadelphia for not more than $300. Also, I checked the Better Business Bureau's website and did not find you there. Please advise. Thanks! (5/18/2005)
Question: Yes, we are MacArthur's StrongMan Moving Company and I'm James MacArthur. We can do it for $300, but remember, Uship takes a nice 7.9% fee off the top, so a $300 bid would not net us $300. Quite frankly, with the price of fuel these days, we just can't afford to do it for any less, we would if we could. As for the Better Business Bureau, allow me to clarify a few things. If there were complaints about us, trust me, you would see us there. The other way to appear there is to be a "member." The means paying them a yearly membership fee (almost $1000) and they list you and put up your profile. Bad news travel fast. Do a bad job, get a complaint, they put your information up. Do a good job, you have to pay to be listed....go figure. The day we pay to be listed with them or anywhere else, believe me, we won't be able to do jobs like yours for $300. Please let me know if there are any further questions I can answer. By now you should have figured out how to get a hold of me via e (5/18/2005)
Response: Thanks for the clarification, James! I'm just going to review all your info. w/ my husband, and I think we'll then be ready to accept the bid for $300. Thanks for being so flexible too, and I anticipate leaving you positive feedback once the shipment is completed! Would you be able to pick up in Philadelphia June 4 or 5? (5/18/2005)
