OK, so you are about to move˳ Did your research on movers˳ Found a moving company with decent pricing, somewhat decent reviews and bearable BBB rating˳ Packed most of your stuff˳ Moving day is coming˳ Excited?
You might as well be, because you never know what’s waiting for you on the move day!
Some of the funniest stories I’ve heard during my extensive moving business career:
- Knock knock! You open the door˳ Your movers have arrived˳ Except, they are an exceptional crew consisting of a 65 year old man, an illegal immigrant who doesn’t speak any English as was randomly picked up at a random gas station, and a waitress from your local Waffle House˳ They all admit this is going to be the first move in their lives˳ Except the older gentleman who claims to be the crew leader˳ He believes in himself and his team˳ This has happened to one of our customers several years ago˳ He called Milestone Relocation immediately after kicking out (literally) his moving crew down the stairs˳
- You are moving today˳ Your movers are unreachable, and obviously they are not here˳ You move by yourself or hire someone else˳ Two days later, your movers, the ones that never showed up, call you and tell you that they are going to be a little late because they have a flat tire˳ Sounds funny? It’s a true story!
- Your movers show up on time˳ Do an extremely good job˳ One item is left on the truck: your grandma’s ancient clock˳ A 200 pound clock, which is basically all that has left for her to remember your granddad who passed away several years ago˳ The move went well, you and your family, including your grandma, are watching how your movers are getting ready to unload the clock off the truck˳ For the 97th time, you remind your movers to be extremely careful˳ They nod their heads confirming understanding the importance of this˳ One of them even says, “Don’t worry, we are professionals!” Your grandma is watching in relieve: after all, the movers did a great job, and they can’t mess up the only item which is left˳ On the “Don’t worry” words, your grandma almost falls down on her butt: she can’t believe movers are screaming, the clock is falling from 4 feet high, and the ancient glass is all over the place!
- “I understand my company charged you more than 3 times above their estimate and refused to unload your items before you pay the full balance in cash˳ It’s nice you are so understanding˳ But we work on tip, and if don’t get tipped right now, we will not unload your belongings no matter what the company says˳”
- “I just came back from jail˳ I did my 8 year sentence for beating up my wife˳ Do you really think I care when you threaten me saying you will call the police because I am not unloading your stuff before you tip me?”
These stories are funny until they happen to you˳ Do not be negligent˳ Protect yourself by choosing a moving company carefully˳ Do you research˳ Google it˳ Read reviews˳ Make sure they are licensed˳ And then, when you help yourself, God will help you too˳
Happy moving!
