My wife saw this on FB:

She should pony up for real movers next time.

And even then some of your stuff will be damaged.

This is definitely true, and the reimbursement for breakage is worthless.

Response its simple: you get what you pay for.

I hope someone replies with that.

The only thing about the situation that we do know is that the woman is crazy.

Ha! a yard sale to pay for a move. good one. Since yard sales are SO lucrative

runnincoug

Things that are sold aren't damaged in moves

You are right, we don't, but...

the same way ... they ask friends and neighbors.

runnincoug

4/25/15 12:48pm

Which she didn't do. She wanted the EQP do it.

tntrepid

4/25/15 8:04pm

agreed. none of my comments have been about this lady.

runnincoug

4/25/15 9:44pm

Then do it all by yourself like other non-entitled people do it.

Shimmy

4/25/15 12:47pm

I think EQs are DEFINITELY overworked. Many can do it themselves. Many can't.

runnincoug

4/25/15 12:50pm

Sounds like she has an able bodied husband and dad. 2 guys is enough.

Shimmy

4/25/15 1:21pm

Without knowing the situation, that's really funny.

I've moved about 7 times in the past 5 years. 3 kids. I just moved in february.

You know, it isn't that hard to pack a truck right so that kind of damage

dilbert

4/25/15 10:58am

And even when you pack it right, things break...

kccougar

4/25/15 11:03am

but she even said they ended up repacking most of it after the volunteers left

Yes, keep the name. It needs to go viral

MormonDevil

Is this like "so this happened to a friend" when it really happened to me?

Please send a screenshot. Leave the name.

in my case, i believe it's a real post, i just think she's trolling people.

smokymountainrain

Not trolling. To her credit she posted in a private group with almost 1,500

rainorsnow

Who has that many FB friends, let alone in a "private" group?

BluePete

4/25/15 11:34am

I'm not a FB expert, I guess it's a "closed group" so maybe it's not private.

The worst part of the story was when she said she was moving to Utah.
