Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Hi! If its on casters I can do it at the end of the week for $400, 50% deposit, 50% upon delivery. Checkout my feedback and let me know. I will be bymyself, so it would need to be easy in easy out. I have a hydrolic lift on my vehicle, so loading is not a problem. Thank you. (9/16/2007)
Response: Hello! This is a gift from my grandfather to my daughter...I've only seen it once and I don't think it is on casters. I will try to get more info tomorrow. Would it help if there were someone to help you load it? Is it difficult to put on casters? (9/16/2007)
Response: Yes, I just need someone to help with placing it on the lift, and taking it off. Let me know if you would like a formal bid, thank you. (9/16/2007)
Question: I would have to pick it up before Wed. (9/16/2007)
Response: My uncle will be taking off work to help...so the closer you could estimate pick up time the better. Thanks! (9/17/2007)
Question: ...Thursday at the latest. (9/16/2007)
Question: how many steps are at each location? (9/16/2007)
Response: I spoke with my grandfather. It is a Baldwin upright and he sees casters on the front two legs, but can not see castors on the back. I asked him if he could roll it and he said no, but he is 80 years old. My uncle can be available to help you get it to the truck if you can give me a definate date and time. There is only one stair out the front door. At the delivery location I will only ask you to get it into the gargage, no stairs. Is this a kind of piano we can put on a dolly? How specific can you be about delivery date and time? Wednesday pickup should be fine. Delivery date Wednesday, Thursday or early Friday would work out...are you coming staight through or do you have other stops? (9/17/2007)
Question: Is there help on both ends? If so I will place my bid. Thank you. (9/17/2007)
Response: Unfortunately help is determined by pick up and drop off times. If you can pick up early Wed or Thurs (between 7:30 and 8:00am) there will be help at pickup. If you can deliver Wed, Thurs or early Friday with an estimated time there will be help. I am so sorry to be so specific...trying to schedule time off from work for different people is no easy task :) (9/17/2007)
Response: If after 6:30pm on Wed. is fine go ahead and accept bid. I will be stepping out for a few hours for a doctors appt., and will return later this afternoon. I will give you a call then unless I hear from you beforehand. Thank you for your consideration. (9/17/2007)
Response: I accepted the bid and then clicked on the paypal option...when I go through the process it says it is only charging $58 to my account directly to uship. How do I get you your money? (Not a very experienced Paypal user) I will be out for a few hours also. If you got my contact info when I accepted bid please call me when convenient. Thanks! (9/17/2007)
