[...] to see how far I’ve come since I was that scared new girl in town waiting impatiently for her furniture back in January. Nevertheless, life is not only work and it is time for me to let go for a week. [...]

It’s unbelievable people can care so little about leaving someone stranded like this. I say – **** ‘em… up the errrr.. you know what No wait. That’s way more than they deserve.

Anyway, really hope you get all your stuff delivered soon now.

Doesn’t sound all bad though – cookies and wine. Mmmmmmmm….

This is why I hate moving. Not only packing, but if you count on someone else to move your stuff you’re at their mercy!

I hate to do this, and I hope everything works out in the end, but something just doesn’t seem right. I think you should call your lawyer. My gut tells me you might never get your stuff. My heart hopes you’ll get all your stuff in one piece and are troubled no more with this insane problem.

Good luck!

Moving companies have never been highly regarded on my list of professions but with this story they may fall right below lawyers!

Sounds pretty harsh.

I hope they do come through for you today.

Do you have a friend you could stay with for a couple days? I know hotels are $$ in NY, but you can keep the receipts and bill the movers for your stay.

Natali,
Being that we’re both from the bay area, Im sure you know that when we were in high school you had classmates that setup their own hassel-free moving just to make some extra money. Sure its not entirely professional, but results were instant. Probably alot better than the company you hired.
I know its a risky stretch, but if you decide to move again, take that suggestion and ask high school kids that have that sort of business.

Hold your breath that your belongings are intact and nothing is missing. Shady on delivery time can also mean shady workers.

Sorry for the lack of material goods. I remember my first night in my first condo. I wanted to sleep there the very day I closed on it. It was just me, a sleeping bag, and my Glock 9mm. Ha!

Oh, your place looks great. Nice floors and clean walls. Hope you’re enjoying New York!

my in-laws had a similar experience when moving from Richmond Virginia to Columbus. they were stuck too because they were paying for two residences at the time of their move, and couldn’t afford to take the legal action that they really were entitled to at the time.
