Once they are at the new home, a pile of anonymous boxes is quite inconspicuous.Denobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10747226068943215809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993286648003497573.post-45164580979106700812011-12-22T07:38:05.413-08:002011-12-22T07:38:05.413-08:00Anon - I don&#39;t see that this is lying - I see it as misdirection. It&#39;s none of the moving guys business what&#39;s in the box -true - but it&#39;s a small measure of security for prying eyes as boxes are being loaded and unloaded. <br /><br />All my boxes came from the grocery store so by definition I was moving lots of bananas!anitapreciouspearlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13575584580341496734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993286648003497573.post-59131404395436225592011-12-20T20:49:11.368-08:002011-12-20T20:49:11.368-08:00It sounds nice in theory, but if you think you are fooling the movers, think again.<br /><br />A box full of canned goods doesn&#39;t feel or sound like a box of books. Nobody&#39;s Christmas ornaments are as heavy as a box full of spaghetti noodles. The movers probably don&#39;t care what in in each box, but if you start acting cagey about it all, you&#39;re going to attract attention.<br /><br />I suggest that you move the more sensitive items by yourself. Guns, Ammunition, and high value items should not be trusted to movers in the first place. <br /><br />If you are moving across town, go ahead and borrow a truck for a day (I think Home depot rents them for $20 or so) and move it yourself. If you are moving further than that, I suggest you sit down and calculate how much it is going to cost to ship those heavy canned goods, compared to the cost of replacement, and consider donating it to a worthy cause (if you can find one). <br /><br />Regardless, I am uncomfortable with lying to people. If I have to lie, I may be dealing with the wrong moving company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993286648003497573.post-84337295452975145462011-12-16T07:26:45.525-08:002011-12-16T07:26:45.525-08:00I hope your move is going well Daisy - any comments on your boxes from the moving crew??anitapreciouspearlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13575584580341496734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993286648003497573.post-34809446429418395902011-12-15T17:37:41.720-08:002011-12-15T17:37:41.720-08:00Glad I could help!Daisyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09740675483384445898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993286648003497573.post-39991800659272531142011-12-13T12:05:49.904-08:002011-12-13T12:05:49.904-08:00Perect timing for me to notice this post.
