Moving house

Arcata, California, 29 July 2013:
Contract with Crown means Wheaton Worldwide moves you within the USA.
Living in Humboldt County means a team (of two) from Yreka comes to load your stuff into a small truck.

They were careful, professional, and quick, considering they were two men for what turned out to be 9,400 pounds of stuff.

Stuff took two days longer than the guaranteed delivery window of August 5th – 11th.  Maybe they went via New York City.  Considering that it cost nearly as much as it did to move from Spain…

Norman, Oklahoma, 14 August 2013:

Big Wheaton semi with grouchy driver and helper arrived an hour later than promised due to “traffic like LA around here.”

 Ordered appearance of household goods (helps to reduce volume and thus stuff more inside rig) apparently achieved through rough handling and indiscriminate stacking.  That, compounded by hurried unloading (involving carrying boxes upside down and leaving wherever convenient), has meant many broken items.

More later…
