A Moving Experience

When moving companies give you time lines for making things like actual moving reservations, don't believe them.

For the purposes of this brief observation, I'll call the moving companies that I was primarily involved with MC1 and MC2. I had worked out a walk-thru with both MC1 and MC2 a few weeks ago, and they both advised me to make a reservation three weeks in advance of my move. I informed the representatives from both moving companies that I would not have a final destination address until after June 11th. The reps from both companies were fine with this, and said that wouldn't be a problem since my moving date was June 27^th.

Upon my return from Mesa, AZ, and identification of my future residence, I called MC1 and was informed that my rep was no longer an employee, and that arrangement of my move would not be possible due to a lack of carrier capacity during the time frame for my move. Strike one against my move.

Following that let-down, I called the rep from MC2 who set me up for a move date, and I thought the ball was rolling. I thought wrong. The following morning MC2's rep called and informed me that they too had a carrier capacity problem. My options were gone. Strike two for the move.

As a result I am currently waiting for a motorcycle trailer and a U-Haul confirmation in order that I might be able to move to Mesa next weekend.

I still have no definite answers and won't on either until Tuesday. What fun! Ain't life grand?
