IM GOING TO KILL FI

I joke. But I'm so pissed at him!

We are moving today! Got our professional movers helping with the furniture down the apartment stairs. And I've got tons of moving blankets to wrap on my beautiful wood and leather furniture (that I'm still paying off). I made the guys wrap every piece of furniture before going down the stairs, because concrete walls don't mix with leather sofas or wood tables, despite the guys saying oh we'll bring it down and then wrap it on the truck. Um no.

I ran to go get more blankets because we were about 6 short for my chairs. I left FI in charge.

Should not have done that. I come back to see my leather recliner chair sitting on the truck with NO blankets, and a huge piece of ripped leather on the side!!!! I'm so upset - I told FI that nothing was to go down the stairs without blankets on it. And did he listen? Noooo. Crazy girl leaves so we're gonna bring down the furniture how we wanted to originally, and did FI stop them? Nooooo.

Rant over. Thanks for listening :)

  • If you hired professionals, they should have insurance to cover the damage. I understand your frustration though.
  • Oh, I'd kill  him.  I have a shovel if you need to borrow it, but I will need it back because DH is  day to day kinda thing.  One of these days his life insurance is all mine.......

    This and also when you hire professional movers, they should be the ones wrapping and packing things not you so that way if anything were to happen to your things then there won't be any confusion as to who is at fault.

  • 1) I would kill him too.

    2)  If the movers caused the damage they should have insurance to cover damages.  They have a right to try to repair it and if can't be repaired it should be replaced.

  • Yup. Murder him.
  • I would be pissed too.
  • I think it's all boys lol.  Mine, unless you leave a list with specific to the letter instructions on a white board, does not understand.  

    Kudos for not already having killed him :) I would have lol
  • I'd be furious.

    I would be mad at both the movers and your FI. That sucks!

    ETA: Typos!

    Agreed, although it may not cover the cost of replacement.

  • Moving is the test of a relationship.  We have done it four times.  Never again!  I plan to die in this house.
    We paid $1000 to move my late mother's dining room set from Iowa to daughter's home in Maryland.  They damaged two of the wicker-back chairs.  The company eventually paid for the repair of the chairs.

  • So sorry this happened!

    But... these are professional movers? I call bullshit.  I've used pros twice now and they bring tons of stuff to wrap all the furniture.  I've been so impressed with the efficiency and quality.  Sounds like you ended up with a poor quality company :(  

    I wouldn't leave them good reviews on Yelp, that's for sure....

  • Murder strikes me as a perfectly reasonable response.

    The movers should cover this. I have had mishaps with pros before and it's always been taken care of. I've had less luck hiring moving companies off of places like Craig's List (they just require better managing...).

    Did you hire a company that makes guarantees?

    THIS!

    I  have moved more times than I can count. Including an oversees move.   I've never had to provide my own blankets for any profession move.   They always provide blankets, shrink wrap stuff,  etc.  

    Your problem is the movers not your husband.  I know for a fact I didn't see every piece leave me house.  Most, yes, but not all.   That is why they have the little stickers.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • I'm so exhausted I'm not going to try to explain much... But the manager will be calling me about a repair, and the movers apologized because the large sofa came apart into sections and they brought it down just fine.. So they thought they would be able to bring the recliner chair down without covering it. Men. Fi should have stopped them. Rawr.

    There were plenty of blankets and shrink wrap. BTW. They just didn't choose to use it that time.
