looking for movers

[Blah_Teggie]

I did a search on this but can't find anything. I'm moving next week and was wondering what moving company you guys would recommend/not recommend. Would be great if you can write down their rates as well. I found a few ads on Craigslist but wanted your guys recommendations before calling them. Thank you.

wut i did was to hire a couple of guys from craigslist & rent a Budget truck. 2 guys for $20/hr x 8 hrs = 320 + 150 truck rental + tips = $500 to move my entire house

I used Top Moves for the past 2 moves, their men were good and "mostly" on time (I was the 2nd appointment in a day, so yeah), but they are getting more and more expensive.

If you want cheap, go to those asian moving companies. "yenyen" (people people) for one.

[GLOW]

i have 2 friends that used "yun yun" before and they did good work. almost certain you'll need to speak chinese though to use them. i used 2 men with big hearts or something like that before and they were good, that was many years ago though.

I'd go against using ppl off craigs or random 'companies'. i had a friend that hired a moving 'company' that head 16 years experience from a newspaper ad.

turned out to be an old guy whom i assume has the 'experience' and he had 2 random bums that looked like DTES crackheads moving the stuff.

my friend and his cousin ended up helping to move the big/heavy expensive stuff b/c they looked so incompetent and he didnt want his stuff damaged. really bad experience.

I was wondering if you would be interested in hiring my son. I need him to have a job like this so he can feel better about himself.

He has been paralyzed from the neck down for five years now. I always encourage him to do normal things like mow the lawn, take out the trash, etc. so he can still feel important even though he does not have the use of his arms or legs.

This job would be a huge boost in his self-esteem and with a little help I am sure he can do it. Please consider him!

reviews of people saying the movers didn't care all that much about their furniture i.e. damaged goods during moving etc.

I'd be interested in hiring him as a dolly to move some heavy things.

Few questions first

- Can i put furniture On top of him? Since he has no feeling from the neck down i assume i can mount things on his gumby like body and push the wheelchair to the waiting truck.

- If i was to devide the human body into 1/3's, Head, torso/arms, legs. Because your son only has a head that works he is worth only a third of an able bodied mover. So i assume i can also pay him a 1/3 of 20 dollars and hour. 7$ seems reasonable, i rounded up because im not a monster.

- Is his wheelchair electric or manually operated. I'd be willing to pay slightly more an hour if it had one of those joystick electric chairs. not only would i not have to push him around in said chair, but ive always wanted to try one of those things and never had the opportunity.

- If he is not able to do the thing above i may be able to still give him a job. I have some valuable furniture that im worried will slide around in side a moving truck. I would be willing to hire your son as a buffer between the wall of the truck and my furniture so it wont get scratched.

Thanks in advance

Original ad:
WE ARE A MOVING COMPANY LOOKING FOR WORK. WILL BE ABLE TO HAUL ANYTHING IN OUR TRUCK WHERE YOU NEED IT
From Timmy Tucker to ********@*********.org

Hi there! I saw your ad about hauling and I would have some work for you. I live in Bedford Hills, and currently do not have a car. I have a regular craving for Taco Bell, however the closest one is in Yorktown Heights. I would be willing to pay you $10 per trip to pick me up 2 cheesy gordita crunches, a steak quesidilla and a pepsi, and haul it to my residence. I'll even tip you with a soft taco if the service is speedy.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks!

From MOVING to Me
THATS FUNNY YOU NED TO FIND SOMEONE WHO LIVES NEAR YOU WITH A BICYCLE I LIVE IN ASTORIA NY

From Timmy Tucker to MOVING
astoria is not that far, but for your efforts I will offer $15 per trip.

From MOVING to Me
STOP BEING AN ASHOLE OK GO HIRE SOME KID AND TIP HIM YOU $15 THIS IS A MOVING COMPANY

From Timmy Tucker to MOVING

I'm not going to pay some kid on a bike to get my food to me in the freezing cold. I want my food warm, delivered from a professional truck hauling service. What does it matter what you move? How about you put my food in a giant insulated box so you can feel like you are using your F150 to its full hauling potential?

From MOVING to Me
funny i know your not looking for food from taco bell i saw your ad on cl in the labor section before ok.
if you really eat that crap its no wonder your nuts

ye i am gonna spend $20 on gas to make $15 why dont you try hirng a cook or ordering from a place that delivers?

From Timmy Tucker to MOVING
I never posted an ad on there before. and taco bell is suprisingly healthy. i dont want some cook who will spit in my food, and i dont want some delivery guy that will spit in my pizza. i trust taco bell. and $20 for gas? yeah, right. bedford hills is only like 40 miles from astoria. and gas is cheap.

From MOVING to Me

taco bell the cheese isnt even real its plastic yoru better off eating spit
do you know how inexpensive it is to make a taco i make my own tacos are you fat?

From Timmy Tucker to MOVING

that cheese is delicious and authentic. i dont want to make my own taco, i want authentic mexican. where am i supposed to get grade A beef like taco bell anyway? and how the hell am i supposed to know how to make my own taco anyway? what am i, a woman? i didnt realize i was dealing with martha stewart here.

From MOVING to Me

no i think martha stewart is well what she is but you are what you are kinda an idiot do you really think its grade a beef and good cheese because no i think your not even eating that crap?
dont you know what trans fat is? the cheese is plastic i eat there and when it falls on the floor of my truck it dont get moldy like real cheese it gets hard like a piece of plastic. and i can hardly call myself a cook but i try to make basics. opening up a can of beans and heating up a totilla shell isnt martha stewart and who says martha can cook anyways?

From MOVING to Me
listen timmy tucker stupid mother fuck why dont you get yur mom to let her use her bun and put it in there with some mustard and eat it!
