Default Re: Moving

The mover couldn't get to my house because the street was too narrow. I had already hired someone to help unload the truck ($200.00), it was an additional $100.00 for him to unload at Albertson's, take things to the house and unload his trailer there. I also had to rent a U-Haul (approx. $60/w gas). So, not an exorbitant amount extra but definitely not fun.

The cost would have been a lot more if I had used the mover/driver to unload, possibly up to $1,000 extra, or had I hired a professional team to unload. This was a "pack and load" (I did the packing and loading/unloading -- w/help -- they did the driving) company.
