Our crate delivery arrived half an hour early. Yes, early. Had a window from 10 am to 2 pm. Got a call at 9 am stating the driver will be there within 30 minutes.

The crate looked in good condition, hardly a mark on it, nice and clean. Took DH about 1 hour to unload, waiting for the elevator took quite a bit of time. Since no one in the business office had the key to lock it in place.

We used Aloha Freight Forwarders, 310.631.6116 – Ask for Pete to give you a quote. Great to deal with. Terry handles the pickup/delivery of the crate. I sent mine with the “consignee” to pay for the freight when delivered. That way, all involved play nicely to get paid. Pickup on 06/07 and called on 09/17 to schedule delivery. What service!
So far nothing has been broken, even my 40”x30” glass/frame with the Ohana photos that was packed on the top of the boxes, just wrapped in a old comforter.
Got my crate from Uline as well as all my bubblewrap and peanuts. Look under UPS approved for the small quantity rolls/bags.
Happy packing to those on their way. Ruby

Great news, Ruby! Sounds like once again your research paid off well with a very good company, I'll be sure to check them out. Got in touch with an antique dealer today that is coming out to look at some of my stuff - fingers crossed they take it off my hands! Just shipping out a small crate and carrying the rest in suitcases is my husband's dream for us - I'll see what I can do, haha!
You're almost completely settled in, must feel great!
:-)

Tks Allison, I'm very pleased how things were handled with AF.

I hope that they take it all too, I have a bunch of stuff at an antique consignment store in Claremont. Things have been moving slowly, folks just aren't spending discretionary $$ right now. If they would offer me a price for the lot...I'd more than like would take it.

Not quite settled in, but nice to see some of my favorite things coming out of the boxes.

Let me know how the dealer's offer end up. Aloha, Ruby
