Moving the flat screens, the pictures and the mirrors can be a hassle on moving day. It takes time to pack them and adds cost to your move. BD Movers has started using what we call the "Tony box" to speed up the move and save our customers money.
We all see Irene heading our way. The forecasters can't tell us exactly where or exactly when. We are getting calls from all our moves for Saturday through Monday telling us they want to change their moving date by a day.
"I cancelled our appointment!" "OK, I did not get that message. Have a good day" " I tell you I cancelled it!" "OK"
Speaking of angry clients. One client hired her son to move all the boxes and small stuff before our move with her. He was in an accident causing 5000 dollars of damage to his truck and injuries to himself. (none really bad, but he was battered up a bit) Since movers charge to move the boxes, and they were only doing this to save money, they reasoned that the movers must be at fault for this mishap. (No claim was filed, they were just letting me know)
is that we have limited amount of equipment and men to do the moving. Shippers, (those moving) , should try to book their moving company as early as possible. I would guess half the recent calls we got were for moves this week. We could not help them because we were booked already. Decide on your mover early, check them out thoroughly, and reserve your date. Some movers will require a deposit when you book. It is usually refundable with enough notice and it guarantees the company has reserved a crew and truck for your move. (policies are different from company to company so ask lots of questions!)
Finally, is it worth buying the piano? Cost to consider are: refinishing it (a few hundred?) , moving it (a couple of hundred?) and then tuning it (a hundred?)
I was on an estimate last week. The temps in NJ on that day were around 100 degrees and my appointment did not have air conditioning. I know they did not have AC because a large sweaty man in "tighty whities" met me at the door. Luckily his wife showed up at the same time as me and told him to get some pants on. I was uncomfortable, why wasn't he?
In Arab countries, close male friends or colleagues hug and kiss both cheeks. They shake hands with the right hand only, for longer but less firmly than in the West. Contact between the opposite genders in public is considered obscene. Do not offer to shake hands with the opposite sex.
It was 100 plus degrees yesterday in NJ. When I worked on the trucks every day I appreciated a glass of water more than anything. It is not uncommon for us to drop 5 or more pounds of weight carrying furniture and boxes on a hot day.
I was confused, it seemed obvious that was not my problem. He felt because I was moving his stuff and he would not have a bed while I was moving him, I should pay for the room til I delivered the furniture. We parted with each of us feeling the other was unreasonable.
