Shipping possessions from estranged family

[Anonymous]

OP, do you talk to them? Would they put them in an accessible place on a specified date?

[Anonymous]

NP. They won't help, but would they let you or someone in to get them and remove them if given notice? They don't have to be there, they could have a friend let you in.
Also- are you sure the bins are even still in their house, and that they didn't discard them already?

[Anonymous]

They probably threw them out with the remains of the relationship.

There's nothing you need in boxes that have been stored for 10 years in the basement of someone you're estranged from. If you haven't used the stuff or missed it by now, you're not going to use it or miss it now. Accept that it's gone and move on. It's just stuff--it will clutter up your current living space and probably has spiders and bugs, maybe even mouse nests in it by now--assuming it's not mildewy and musty. Seriously, let it go and keep it gone.

Unless there is actual gold.bars in the boxes I would.nit bother OP. Not worth it if you are voluntarily estranged.

You don’t even know OP or her family. Jerk.

And you're wrong. It's not gonna happen. You don't tell people you haven't seen and refuse to talk to for ten years that people are going to show up, come into your house, gather some sh*t, and take it with them. OP doesn't even know where the stuff is at this point.

Are you OP or her parents? No, didn’t think so.

Can’t imagine anyone would want to keep those boxes taking up space for someone they disliked. Do you have a relative or family friend that could intercede on your behalf?

Nowhere did OP say she's been estranged for 10 years. She said her stuff has been stored for ten years. New sentence: and we're estranged. The estrangement could have happened a month ago for all you know.

Op, are you sufficiently in touch with them to speak to them to make arrangements for transporting them? If so, I would contact some long-distance moving companies that operate in their area to see if they can pack and move your stuff. It would take a while, but might not be as expensive as direct shipping if they can combine your boxes with another shipment.

My sibling helped facilitate this for me as he was still in touch with my parents. It worked fine. We never had to talk and he handled it for us.

This is harsh, but true. Will they provide a moving company access? A moving company or courier service of some type is what you are looking for. You've made it a decade without this stuff. Do you really need it?

+1 if my kids were estranged from me, I’d stop being their free storage facility years ago.

Wrong. Estrangement is longer than a month almost by definition.

Let all that stuff go, OP. If you've lived without for 10 years, you don't need it.

What’s the most seamless and cost effective way to get my stuff? They won’t provide weight/dimensions and won’t help in any way. The transit would be cross country from coast to coast.

You have an estimate of the stuff-10 plus XL boxes and bins. XL by Uhaul is about 24x24x 18. Maybe 65 pounds. Bins go in boxes-taped up. I guess you need to go there with a cool head or get others to go and move the packed /taped/labeled boxes to an easy to pick up location in their house-garage?

That's a lot of stuff and you can contact UPS on shipping costs and ask your mover about a 2nd stop for loading depending on locations. I expect the estranged parents will be cooperative with access since you will be removing a huge volume of stuff. 10 plus XL boxes can cover the floor stacked of an average bedroom. It's like renting a storage unit.
