Question: Would you tell me what will work here? As I read through all the dialog here, You were willing to work with this price earlier, but the timing wasnt right. I will be going up from Ut-Wa this week. Let me know your thoughts, Thanks! (2/25/2007)

Response: I don't have a person to help you. (2/26/2007)

Question: Well, lets do this then. I will provide the help in Boise, and I will hire someone in Seattle. I was thinking I could do this for your target if I had help there. Since I will have to pay for it, I will meet you halfway on this, and go 425 after Uship fee. Hope this will work. Leaving Thurs- Fri. Be in touch asap. Thanks again! (2/26/2007)

Response: Sounds ok to me. One question here. Have you done this kind of thing before, I mean you hire one for help? (2/26/2007)

Question: Yes, it works out well. I just need some muscle, and I take care of the skill side of things! (2/26/2007)

Question: Good Morning, I hope you are available today to finalize this. I am working on the final details of this next road trip, and need to see what your time frame and availability is. When you accept the bid and get my phone numbers, call my cell, and we will get things rolling. Thanks! (2/27/2007)

Response: Do you have your own crew? I am just concerned about my piano (I think it should be at least 3 people to handle it, am I right?). By the way, why should I pay the uship fee of 7.9% and what is that? (2/27/2007)

Question: I dont have a crew. The only time I need a third person is when I move a grand piano. Sometimes I use one to slide the dollies underneath when I lift it up. When you read my feedback, you will see that all the pianos I have done were all succesful. As for the fee, Uship charges us drivers that fee, and charge you customers nothing to place the add. So this is pretty standard. In fact Starting March 1, 2007 (a couple days) Uship will automatically add that cost to the shippers bids. I will have to pay for labor in Seattle, and my brother in law will help me in Boise. Your piano will arrive just as it leaves your place. (2/27/2007)

Question: Should I plan on this, or is there a problem? If the uship fee is an issue, I guess I will pay that too. Let me know soon, please. Thanks! (2/27/2007)

Response: Thanks for the offering. Just give me some time to ask approval. :-) (2/27/2007)

Question: Are we approved yet? (2/28/2007)

Response: Can you revise the bid so that we will not take 7.9% Uship fee? Thanks. (2/28/2007)

Question: Actually the current bid of 425 is the one that will work. In the other box I made the request for the uship fee which would have been an extra cost between you and me. Nothing to do with uship. So you can accept the bid listed, and will only be paying 425 total. Thanks again! (2/28/2007)

Question: So I have to pay the 33 fee and at least 25 in Seattle leaving 366 minus fuel. You are getting a very good deal! (2/28/2007)

Response: Thanks :-) (2/28/2007)
