Questions for this shipment:

Question: If you can get it to Houston with a single driver and truck to our depot then we can deliver it to you with two men from here in Houston. (4/25/2006)

Response: Maybe I don't understand your comment. My request is for shipping from IL to Houston. Local delivary is not really the problem. Are you offering a truck and one driver pick-up from IL to the depot in Houston then an additional person to help deliver in Houston from depot to my home? If that is the case then yes we could make due with only one person at pick up in IL. (4/25/2006)

Question: I'm sorry, That did read rather confusing didn't it? What I am saying is this. I can not pick-up in Il and deliver to Houston. But you may get a better rate from a driver if you just have it transported without labor help. Some sort of consolidated freight would be the most economical. We can deliver it you with two men and put it where you want it from our Warehouse in Houston for $200.00. I know this is not what you were idealy looking, I am just trying to help where I can. Thank-you. Please let me know if I can further assist you. Dave (4/26/2006)

Response: Thanks for the offer. At this time I am looking for shipping from door to door. (4/26/2006)

Question: Can you help provide assistance at pickup and delivery? I am 2hrs from your pickup origin. I can do this for 650.00 all fees and everything included. If interested and can provide the help let me know asap as I will not be in area long. And it would be door to door. Thank you for quick responce. If you read my feedback you will see that I have a few pianos and will provide safe and secure shipments. Thank you (5/3/2006)

Response: I could provide 1 person assistance at pickup and delivary but I may target is less than $400 which assumed no assistance. (5/3/2006)
