Stephanie: Welcome to Showroom Transports live chat. How may I help you today?
Kyle: hi stephanie.. i was wondering if you could ship from a city in the US to a city in Canada..
Stephanie: We ship to the border of canada
Kyle: would it be shipped to the closest border as the car? or could i select what point at the border it gets sent to?
Stephanie: you can pick any delivery city and state
Kyle: perfect. does the car need to be in running condition? This car rolls, but doesn't run.
Stephanie: we can transport an in operable, does it also steer and break?
Kyle: everything is functional, but the engine is inoperative.
Stephanie: no problem. What city state is it in?
Kyle: the car is in Menlo Park, CA, and i'd like it to go to Buffalo.
Stephanie: alright. What is the make and model of the car?
Kyle: it's a 1984 porsche 944
Stephanie: When do you need it transported?
Kyle: i'm not in any real hurry. I'm just looking for an estimate... probably in the next month or so.
Stephanie: alright. I will give you the quote for our standard service, you tell us when it's ready, we guarantee pickup within 7 business days
Kyle: ok... does your quote change with the weather? such as, would it be increased as snow starts to fall?
Stephanie: I will be right back. No, we factor in things like gas but not the weather
Kyle: alright... i'll be here
Stephanie: Sorry for the wait,
Kyle: not a problem..
Stephanie: We can do that for $1775 fully insured with the guaranteed pickup within 7 business days
Kyle: is that inclusive of all taxes?
Stephanie: Yes sir
Kyle: great. would it be much of a difference if it was shipped to detroit instead of buffalo?
Stephanie: One moment please
Kyle: sure
Stephanie: That would be $1475
Kyle: fantastic... and is that an open or closed trailer?
Stephanie: that is on an open carrier
Kyle: great. are there any other cheaper forms of transportation? or is that pretty much your base package?
Stephanie: That is our base price
Kyle: great. thanks stephanie, you've been a great help to me.
Stephanie: thank you
