Box Move > tool box, tools, small room to move

Response: im not sure on the wieght and its just for the tool box. i have what i would call a small recording studio and a large tool box filled with tools to move. it doesnt have to be to the destination immediately and im trying to find the cheapest route. im in process of buying a home and dont have an address there yet. i would need everything picked up from my house and packed in a container and then shipped to the address qhen i get it. i need this done around the first week of august. what i have exactly is 4 guitars, 3 large speaker cabinets, (2) 2'x2' racks filled with equipment, 27" tv, various boxes of cds and clothes, a full size bed matress, a couple stools, 2 surfboards, and some other miscellaneous items. i think it would all fit into 10'x5' trailer just so you have a better estimate of what i have. thanks (6/11/2008)

Response: Hello, this is William Donohoe from The Shipping Shack, Inc. Thanks for writing back. I was just getting ready to leave work when I saw that you had written. We can assist you. We can store your items until you have a definite address there Port Saint Lucie, Florida. Will need to know the total dimensions of your items if available (L x W x H) if possible plus your best guest of estimated weight so that we can submit a quote here on U-Ship. Need to know if all of your items will be boxed. If not we can build a crate to accommodate your shipment if needed. Let us know. I am leaving for home now. I will check my email in the morning to see if you have replied, mahalo. (6/11/2008)

Response: i think it would be easier to put in a crate, everything will be boxed or in sometype of container, but i have a lot of little boxes. my tool box is the heaviest. alot of my gear is enclosed in wooden racks but the biggest thing i have is my 9'longboard or my full size mattress. the longboard i can take on the if necessary. ive seen the shipping crates they use for moving and i think that one of those would be able to handle eveything. those crates look to be about 5'x5'x8' or something like that. a rough weight guess for everything would probably 2500lbs just to play it safe. im probably not helping a lot here... how long would it take to ship?

Response: Hello, this is William Donohoe from The Shipping Shack, Inc. Thanks for writing back. I will work on your quote later today. I have to go work on a couple of shipments right now, mahalo. (6/12/2008)

Response: yes i do, im trying to get some other quotes. i also have a 1990 thunderbird sc to ship. can everything get packed together in a container or do i have to ship them seperate? how is payment? do i pay everything up front or do i pay a certain amount now and the rest upon delivery/ pickup?

Response: Hello, this is William Donohoe from The Shipping Shack, Inc. Thanks for your reply. A container would be more expensive. Payment would need to be in full prior to shipment leaving island. This is our policy. Nothing personal but I have let shipments go without full payment received before. After 2 years, I am still waiting of rest of payment. I lost a few thousand this way, sorry, mahalo. (6/22/2008)

Response: the move is from waipahu, hi to port saint lucie, fl (7/22/2008)

Response: 2 crates will be fine, im assuming the least expensive is ocean. i dont necessarily need drop off at my door but i definately need it picked up. (11/1/2008)

Response: Hello, this is William Donohoe from The Shipping Shack, Inc. Honolulu. We can pick up your items without any problem. The size of the crate(s) will determine if they can be delivered or not. This is do to the lift gate at the receiving end being able to handle the size & weight of the crate(s) since they are being delivered to a residence & not a business with a dock and/or fork lift. All of these logistics have to be taken into consideration with shipments like yours from origin to destination. We can make that determination once we have your shipment. Please let us know here on U-Ship if you have any other questions. Mahalo. (11/1/2008)
