Dang, my last move too.
A few years ago I PCS'd from Lemoore to Fallon. Seven boxes of my stuff missing, TV and microwave and VCR missing, and a lot of expensive cherry wood furniture was damaged. I settled my claim for about $9200.00.
So, in late November of 2006 I found myself PCSing for the last time. Didn't start off so good; HHG office did not call the movers until the afternoon they were supposed to be there. They did fess up to their mistake and did try to make it better.
Got settled in outside of Fallon in early December (I took all the most - likely - to - be - stolen - stuff) then asked for a pre-arranged...or so I thought....partial delivery. I found out that someone changed the proposed delivery date, (it was a pen change on their contract) only they forgot to tell me.
Lady at the storage place decided that she better do something, so we go through line by line the things I had previously asked, and they had previously agreed, to be included in the partial delivery.
10 days later we had the partial delivery at our door.
Soooo, today, 11 May, we are in a position to accept the rest of our stuff. The damage so far.....one broken park bench, one broken cement 'pissing boy'
(the kind you can hook up to a beer keg and have the beer come out his, uh you know), 16 missing NIB mummy sleeping bags, one missing Dillon reloading press AND..... a total of 22 missing boxes. I suppose there may be a few more damaged things, dunno and don't care at this point. I am beyond being pissed.
WTF, O. How does someone misplace 22 boxes full of my stuff?
After the miscues of our partial delivery the supply Officer, a really good guy, said to call him if anything else went wrong. If I had his home phone, I would call him tonight if for no other reason than to give him a laugh.
Oh, and there is evidence that a half dozen or so boxes were opened and searched after the pick up....stuff strewn about in the crates, wrapping tape taken off and replaced.
Moving companies, most of them, belong in a select catagory of people.
However, I will say that Ridgecrest Moving and Storage did many, many things extra for us as part of our China Lake to Lemoore PCS. Nothing missing and not so much as a scratch on any of our stuff.
