After almost SIXTEEN weeks of waiting, the movers FINALLY arrived with our stuff. We have moved now five times in 9 years so we have gotten pretty good at it, but this move was by far the worst and overall, an absolute disaster. The company supporting the move was the most inept and incompetent supplier I have ever had to deal with and then the actual unpackers were almost as bad. Not only did we have to WAIT forever for our goods to arrive, the unpackers seemed to damage more pieces of furniture than I could have thought possible. One would think that crossing a continent, an ocean, and then half of another continent, that damage COULD occur in the process. In this case, however, it SEEMS that the actual transit of the goods was relatively fine (minus the time it TOOK). But the unpackers provided many cuts and slices in our furniture just while unpacking. To top it all off, this was just the one truck. It turned out that the OTHER truck was STILL in transit. We did not receive that one for another two weeks (18 weeks overall...3 1/2 month...almost 25% of the year without our belongings!). I think if any of the other four moves had been this bad we would not have been inclined to make them. But we are glad that we are finally getting settle in our new home.
