So i got this boat. 18 foot 1979 sleekcraft jet boat.
it is in Washington state and i live in NC. MY dad owns it and is giving it to me as a present. So i go about trying to find out how in the world i am going to get it here with out breaking my budget.
So i found a site called U ship where you place your item and where it needs to go and people bid on the job. Seems pretty easy to me...
I get this bid for 1500 bucks plus 55 for insurance. I tell the guy that sounds great and all i need is his insurance and bond info. He says no prob ill have it faxed on monday.
Monday comes and no fax. tuesday comes and no fax. I email him and tell him i need it before i can give a deposit for transpo. He says no problem it will be some time this week. So now its wed and stil no fax. I email him again letting him know i need at least one day to check the insurance and bond so if he could please have it faxed by thur. he replies back telling me he cant fax me anything because he needs my deposit to set up the special insurance. once thats done he will fax me the insurance info on my tranport.
I told him in this day and age i aint giving any one over 800 bucks deposit without proof of insurance and bond and we need to work something out.
So my question....
Am i just being paranoid or should i tell this guy to go to hell and find someone who is more professional that can provide bonding and insurance info?:confused:
