True Classic
My sister moved up from Florida and had all her furniture packed up and moved via a known moving company. Sister arrives here in northern Virginia and is staying in a hotel as she shops for an apartment. That part done and now waiting for moving truck(s) to show up. Two trucks, one with furniture and one with crap for a rented storage unit. Stage now set.
Wednesday, both trucks to show up at their designated locations....one in the morning one in the afternoon. Storage unit stuff truck is no show....apparently that load is still in Florida! Furniture no show, apparently technical problems with truck. Reschedule furniture for yesterday. No show and no reason given, rescheduled for Saturday and they knock $400 off the price of the move. Las Vegas odds are they will be a no show on Saturday but perhaps I'm becoming pessimistic. Personally I think my sister's furniture is also still in Florida and they won't admit it. Our contact with the moving company says these kinds of delays are not unusual!
Each potential move day pretty much trashes my whole day. I have only used a moving van once in my life and it was a local move about 40 years ago. Is this normal for a moving company?
At least I have a 76 spider project to work out my frustration by dealing with rusty fasteners and suspension replacement. The X sits patiently waiting for me to take for a spin but weather has not been cooperating.
