Just thought I'd give an update. I did post about this in my thread about being down here for good, but perhaps folks who are interested in the moving subject would like me to post here.
We got down here on a Sunday night after taking a leisurely one way trip from our NY home to our Florida home. We visited kids and relatives along the way. It was great to just take the car and not worry at all about our "stuff".
Just as promised, ABF called us on Monday morning to schedule the drop off time. We were in no hurry, so Wednesday morning was fine with us. The cube got here exactly the time they told us, around 10am. The driver was very kind and professional and placed the cube exactly where we wanted it.
We had 3 days to unload it, but we were all ready to unload and we actually unloaded it within the hour. It was packed. I asked the driver how much he thought it weighed and how it compared to others he delivered. He smiled and replied that he has dropped off hundreds of them, and ours was about the heaviest. He estimated it was closer to 5000 lbs then the maximum allowed weight of 2500 per cube. They did not charge me any additional.
Because we unloaded it so quickly and the driver was still in the area, he took the cube the same day, as soon as we were done. That was nice, as it did not sit empty in our driveway at all.
Bottom line- ABF was great. I would use them again without hesitation. As you can see, it was packed very well and not a thing was damaged at all.
