[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently had a friend move across the country and her husband's job paid moving expenses, so they moved a lot of their stuff - and a lot of their antiques and nicer items were broken in the move. Not sure if there is a way to prevent this - better packing? Higher quality movers? But just another factor to consider. [/quote]

They needed better packers and movers.  We moved cross country a few years ago also paid for by DH company so cost wasn't a factor.  We lost 2 lamps in the move and that was it.  Everything else arrived in the same condition.  They packed and unpacked for us. The furniture we packed with a cheaper company and put into a POD arrived in a lot worse condition.  This was mostly our fault as we didn't instruct them to pack it for a cross country move-just for local storage but our plans changed and we just shipped it.  Quality packing makes a huge difference.

We pared down a lot before the move but still moved quite a bit of furniture.  This was back during Covid when delays on new furniture were quite long.  Had we not moved most of it we wouldn't have had furniture for months.  [/quote]
