We can't tell you why you were told the elevator company would take care of it - it does not seem like their job. Do they know the length of your sofa? Are they planning on inserting in diagonally? Or will they pay for a window lift?

Clarify with the people involved. We don't know.

Also, stuff is damaged all the time during moves. You can minimize the damage by hiring white-glove movers, but you cannot prevent all damage.

Your snowflake Pottery Barn sofa will be fine. [/quote]

Her sofa will probably be fine, but she needed to incur more moving expenses because of them. That doesn't make her a snowflake. No one is allowed to have a piano in a high-rise. What are you smoking? [/quote]

There are plenty of people in NYC, Detroit, and Chicago (places where I have friends) who live in high-rise apartments and have pianos. Make sure you know what you're talking about.

Nah, no typical. [/quote]

Not PP you replied to, but I assure you pianos and large items are regularly allowed in high rises.

Also, OP is very annoying. She shoots down every suggestion aggressively and is obsessed with her sofa. I recall her multiple posts about her building prior to this and she was similarly grating.

It’s tough to be helpful when you make it so hard, OP. [/quote]

OP here. I haven't shot down any suggestions. The sofa can't be moved until the freight is fixed, and it's been almost a month, and it still needs to be fixed! Of course, I am upset because I am sitting in my new place without furniture to sit on! There wasn't any other option. We couldn't use the stairs or the regular elevators. Why else do you think they paid for the elevator company to do it. This whole situation of us breaking the lease has caused much pain and is EXPENSIVE. We need to pay for TWO moving days, which costs a lot of money. If they damage it, we will need to replace it and I have lost all trust with this apartment. You aren't as involved because the advice doesn't cost you anything. I know so many residents who have had their storage units flooded and the apartment won't do sh** about it.
