Having traveled some 2800 miles or thereabouts to move here, I’m having some concerns about the destination side of things. I moved from a house, where I could easily locate the containers in my driveway. On this end, I’m in an apartment complex. To make matters more complicated, ABF only delivers full containers in the afternoon. I contracted with Moving Staffers to help me on Thursday – tomorrow. The problem is that I can’t, in the name of sense, take two parking spaces. Where would people park on the street overnight? Taking one is bad enough. Manteca seems to be short on parking anyway. So, ABF worked with me to stagger the delivery. I’m getting one of the containers today. Hopefully, it will be unloaded(with help!) by the time the second container arrives on Thursday, so I’ll still only be taking one spot. Still, Moving Staffers will be getting the same amount of money for only half the work – and I’ll be paying for my extra help to unload the first container. Ugggh. You’d think that delivery could happen in the morning, Moving Staffers could arrive in the afternoon, unload both containers, and they could be removed – oh, wait, the next day. I guess that wouldn’t work either. Apartment living is difficult. I was told by the corporate office that each location is allowed to set their schedules independently, as needed. This wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t incredibly good either. I had a good experience from PODS in the past but someone told me that their own experience ended with a lot of their belongings damaged by excessive heat. In my case, a few things showed warping plastic but most things seem to have survived well.
