So today the 9th of June is moving day....Mark is working, but I have keys in hand and I am so ready to start packing up our 4 suitcases for the big move. Our shipment is suppose to be delivered around 4pm today (hope it's not like waiting for the cable guy!) all 500 pounds of the stuff we thought we couldn't live without. Not really sure what's coming since there was a snafu with the shipping co.
A little history.....we were told we can ship 1000lbs, a rep comes & eyeballs our pile, taking only 5 minutes. this is on Monday, shipper to pick up Thurs, on Tues eve we are told we have 1600lbs, and our additional cost will be $2600. We then weighed everything bikes included---under 500lbs. But Wed, we are still told to downsize our load or pay, so not worth the fight dealing with time differences, so we just start pulling things out...golf clubs(poor mark) TV, iron & ironing board (poor me) and much more misc stuff. Can't wait to see what I get after customs takes what we should not have packed. Pictured is before we pulled things out, what a mess. Obviously we have never dealt with shipping before, it was quite stressful. When the actual shippers/packers finished they said we were definitely under weigh and size. Turns out it's based on a container size, and cubic feet and we had plenty of room. Would have been good information earlier.
Off I go.........
