Sounds Good. Please we will like to have a smooth deal with you, as we are using online transaction for the first time. I'm very busy with work and other important obligations, I will like to proceed with payment via Certified check and i will handle the pick up myself , I am in no rush with you as i will await bank clearance before we proceed further with pick up.The shipper will be there to handle the pickup of the item after the check clears at your bank. I will await your email with the following information so that I can send the check to you as soon as possible.

1) Full Name(2) Address and(3) Phone Number.
Get back to me asap.

Thanks.
Jeff

Dear Terry,
I received your message now,and i want you to know that the Check has been sent. I've already made an arrangement with the Shippers who will come for the pick, as soon as you receive the Check and clear it.The amount on the Check is $1850, the reason why the Shipping cost is high is this; I have other house hold items like Whirlpool, Eden Pure Heater , Antique, Sofa and rest to be picked up.When you receive the Check, Deduct the Cost of your item and the difference will be made available for the shipper who will pick up the item .You & I will Schedule a time for pick-up so that i can Inform the Shipper for the pick-up as soon as your bank clears the check. Pls get back to me if this is clear.

Thanks.
Jeff
