Questions for this shipment: 

Question: I am moving from California to Ogden ut on the 29th of april, we could put that on top of boxes in my pickup then cover with blankets if thats possible, let me know (4/27/2008)
Response: Is it a pick up or a moving truck? I think it's to long to go in most pick ups. Thanks (4/27/2008)
Question: can any part of this be disassembled at all? I could put it inside my Expedition if it can. Let me know, Thanks! (4/28/2008)
Response: I don't think so. I know it's an antique. Thanks though. (4/28/2008)
Response: I am only concerned about the mirror being able to come apart from the unit. Can you find out and let me know. Thanks! (5/5/2008)
Response: I will ask the owner. I believe it is attached. I think since it is so tall it'd have to be on it's side. It isn't very deep though. I should have an answer by tomorrow. Do you have a ballpark on price? I am flexible on the time frame so anytime you are making a run between Vegas and UT and it fits is fine. I'm more concerned w/price and care than time frame. Thanks (5/5/2008)
Response: The price would depend on how much room it will take up inside my trailer. If the mirror doesnt come off, I would have to angle it inside against the wall, which will take up alot of room. It can be done, and no matter what, I will get it to you in the same shape I pick it up in. I am guessing it would cost you around 250-300. Let me know what you find out. (5/5/2008)
Response: I just heard back. It is all one piece and the mirror is aged so it'd need special care. Thanks (5/5/2008)
Response: OK, I understand, I transported alot of antiques for Old World Connection, and I know the precautions well. I can help you out next week, but still need to solidify a few other shipments, and I will plan on keeping the room it will take up. If I could have dismanteled the mirror, and stood it upright, I would have quoted what I did earlier. Since it has to be angled,it will take up the room I can get 2 Harleys in, that I transport alot. And they are 250 each. So I would do it for 400. And the mirror will not get broken! I am a glazier from way back too. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Take Care! (5/5/2008)
Question: Are you ready for this transport? (5/9/2008)
Response: Is that the best price you can do? Box Brothers in Vegas quoted me $350 and that is who the owner of the mantel suggested I use. Thanks (5/9/2008)
Response: Well, I guess I could match it. Just the fuel scenario is the issue Let me know your thoughts. Take Care! (5/9/2008)
Response: I totally understand, gas is a nightmare right now. When are you leaving? I need to run it past my husband who doesn't want the mantel in the first place :). What do you need from me? Just the pick up address? I know it's in their garage waiting for pick up. I assume I pay you when you drop it off, right? I saw you had high ratings so that's good. Is the mantel insured? Thanks (5/9/2008)
Response: I am trying to leave first part of next week sometime. I will get the address later, and I do require a deposit of half. I am still working on some other loads to make this worth the trip, so I will let you know asap when I can pick it up. Thanks! (5/9/2008)
Response: I'm fine to wait if you don't have enough shipments this time. I travel for my biz to and I know that I have to have enough business to make a trip worthwhile. thanks (5/10/2008)
Response: OK, Thanks for understanding. I will plan on picking it up around Wed or possibly tues if things go smoothly. Have a Great Weekend! (5/10/2008)
Response: Do you have other jobs you are doing to? I just got another bid for $300 and my husband is still not wanting me to get it, so I'll let you know for sure by tonight. I'm not trying to string you along but he doesn't even want the mantel in our house so the thought of paying alot of $$ is killing him. Thanks (5/10/2008)
Response: I do have other items I am putting together to make this worth doing. I am relying on your gorgeous mantel as one of them, and I will get it to you in one piece. Just as my feedback validates. Let me know if you want me to bid, and we can fine tune things on the phone. Have a Great Weekend! (5/10/2008)
Question: I can pick up your mantel Tuesday the 13th and deliver on the 16th, for $300.00 Mantel will be professionally padded and prepared for shipment in an enclosed moving van by a professional mover. Let me know if all is ok and I'll place my bid. (5/10/2008)
Response: Hi I never heard back from you about insurance or loading. It may be to late now that it's Tues., can you let me know? Thanks (5/13/2008)
Question: Hello Iam Chris With Greene Machine Express, I was wondering do you need this piece delivered. Thank you (5/10/2008)
Response: Hi ARe you planning on bidding on this? I have someone waiting for an answer, but thought I'd see what your bid was. Thanks (5/12/2008)
Question: Are you still in trouble with your husband over this? Hope not. Its just a guy thing! Let me know the status if you want me to bid and plan this out! (5/12/2008)
Question: I am leaving LA this morning. If you want me to grab this in Vegas on the way back, I need to know right away, so I save the room for this, instead of something else. Let me know asap. Thanks! (5/17/2008)
Response: My husband wants me to wait and see if I can get it for $250 since that's a price someone told me, but then I didn't hear back from them. So I guess I am waiting. I am so sorry for the run around. Since he doesn't want it, he's not willing to spend alot of $. Thanks (5/17/2008)
Response: OK, I LOST OUT ON A JOB IN CAL SO I WILL DO THIS FOR YOUR PRICE IF YOU COVER THE COST OF THE ADD. I WILL BE IN VEGAS IN 3 HOURS. SO I WILL SUBMIT THE BID HERE NOW, AND YOU CALL MY CELL WHEN YOU ACCEPT. THANKS! (5/17/2008)
