well the time finally arrived. In a matter of days I'm off to Puna to start my new life! But first I thought I'd share with you my moving experiences so others don't make the same fatal mistakes that I made!
If I could remove my leg for the sole purpose of kicking myself in the arse I would! I know "southkona's" words are ringing in my head too! As I rwrite these words down. "SouthKona" had the right idea! Do the work yourself,and watch the money you save. With that ringing in my head, let me share with you my experiece with a local moving company.
All moving done between interislands between moving company and customer is state regulated(BFD!). Let me start by saying that my house in Kapahulu is pretty small, less than 700 sq;ft. of living space. I left behind anything made of wood(dressers,tables,bookshelves,etc,etc..). I also left behind my king size bed. I did what "Aunty Tutu"suggested too, I shipped every book in this house by US Postal Service.
Let me go back a little bit first, so before all this takes place I have a guy come out and do what I called a "guesstimate" as to how much it cost. His estimate was $2400.00 give or take a little. when I asked him how accurate he was....he looked at me and said "I've been doing this for over 18 years"! So I figured I was somewhat okay. Mind you $2400.00 loss for anything is not easily taken . But two days after company came and got my stuff they called yesterday saying actual cost owuld be $3300.00 and some change!!!!
I know they have me by the "short hairs", but this just seems like a scam! No customers are around when the actual scaling takes place at the docks,so we have no wasy of actually knowing if we been had or not? Has anybody else experiece anything similiar this this nightmare? If so any solutions?
I AM SO PISSED!!!!
