Questions for this shipment: 

Question: i can do this sunday for 250.00 in an enclosed trailer. thanks chris (12/17/2005)
Response: Chris, Sorry I am just getting back with you. Did you mean that you could move it today (Dec 18th)? or next Sunday? I have to get people in Coleman to help you move it in, so I need a few more days notice. Also, need to check to see if they are willing to pay $250. Do you have any other openings in December/early January? Will be in touch with you...thanks for your responce. (12/17/2005)
Question: I strongly urge you to call Coral Springs Moving and Storage. They moved a Steinway grand for me from Detroit to New Orleans in February. 13 days from the day I gave them the order to the day it was in my house. Absolutely the best. Good Luck (12/18/2005)
Response: Hi there, Thanks for the referral, but they told me they cannot move from w/i Michigan to w/i Michigan...only from state to state outside of Florida. I told Marty (that's who I talked with on the phone) you sent me, she remembered you and said thanks so much for the referral! She was very glad to hear what you said when I read your e-mail to her! Happy Holidays. (12/18/2005)
Question: i can do this next thurs for you. (12/18/2005)
Question: 3.5' tall is pretty short for a piano. Are you sure of the dimensions? I might be able to do this between Christmas and New Years. (12/20/2005)
Response: 39" tall, yes, I am positive. It is not a really tall upright piano. It is the shorter kind. I could take a pic of it tonight if that would help you. Let me know your price. (12/20/2005)
Question: i can do this tommorow for you for 250.00 thanks chris (12/21/2005)
Question: do you still need this shipped? (1/6/2006)
Response: Yes, I still need this shipped. Your price of $250 was a little too high. My Mom (who is coordinating the move in Coleman) is going to FL on Monday so i am not sure of the time frame right now. (1/6/2006)
Question: how much do you think yo ucan afford for this move? (1/6/2006)
Response: Looks like I got a bid for $150, which seems reasonable. I needed to get the price down to make it worth it for us not to have to deal with it. My family has trailers and could come do it for me, I just did not want to bother them with it. (1/6/2006)
Question: Hi. Three people plus myself should be able to move it. Yes I have tie-down straps. Are there any staiirs involved? I haven't moved any pianos, but I don't see that as being a problem. (1/9/2006)
Response: Hi again, I have accepted your bid for $150. I think I can get 3 men on each end to help you. My Mom (who is coordinating the move in Coleman) is on vacation, so we will have to be flexible with times. It may not be able to happen for another week or so. There are 2-3 steps at each place. Some sort of ramp would work perfect as the piano has wheels. Please let me know your schedule and time frame. (1/9/2006)
