Our Experience Using a Moving Company I Found Online
I outlined how the move actually went in this blog post.
Of the three different professional movers I used to move things from Illinois to Florida, the first experience was by far the worst. Of the 9 pieces of furniture, they moved for us, they managed to damage 4 of them.
It was definitely a learning experience and I know now to always buy the additional insurance otherwise, if they damage an item they will only reimburse by the weight. I ended up getting a check for something like $117.00 for all the damage that they did.
Paxton Pickers
While Paxton Pickers is not really the name of the company the two gentlemen that came to the farm that day to look at the “stuff”, I do like the alliteration of it! Working with those two gentlemen worked out well however, I did end up not using their services for an on-site auction at the farm. It ended up to not be feasible with the timetable I had, and I hadn’t figured in the actual advertising costs of the auction plus the commission on the items.
My favorite curbside find did go home with one of the guys. I really miss this piece!
About that Alcohol
I was afraid to actually open the bottles and smell what was in there. The bottles themselves were unique enough to warrant saving and I even considered having them melted down into a decorative piece. Ultimately, I ended up just throwing them away!
Sometimes it seems much longer ago than four years ago and other times it seems like it was just yesterday! Could be because four years later I am still not quite finished sorting & organizing……
