Also, if this is how they are acting now, consider yourself timely warned.  Find another mover.


amen.

Storing your stuff looks better and better, don't it?

Remember, you can ALWAYS get more stuff, and your 11 year friend could be trusted to ship things to you if/when you need them, right? Or bring them when he comes out to visit?

I'm still a huge fan of the Storage contingency.

Again, AD has some experience with this, so I must concur.  Storage around here is around $100 a month for any decent sized apartment.

Or look at it another way: What can you get for that $5500? I bet you could do pretty well furnishing an apartment with that. And/or getting stuff you can't live without shipped.

It will save you a lot of hassles if you can't get them to commit to the original price just to give them the finger and store, seriously. You don't need MORE stress at this time of your life.

That's true - for $5500 you can get a lot of new furniture.  

BUT

will the AK people reimburse you for buying new furniture, or just for shipping?  I mean, for $5500 it sounds like unless you have really nice furniture that it would cost more to ship it than replace it.

Of course, furniture on that little island must be imported - so maybe furniture there is REALLY expensive.  

These are things one must consider.

The architecture firm for which my wife works has built things in Elbonia and there may be staff members there. They also have worked to build sites that are sustainable, ecolgical and sensitive to Native Alaskans. In fact, they have a RimFirst division that is staffed by Native Alaskans who work on site plans with these goals in mind.

Just thought that might interest a city planner. They have built community centers, resorts, police stations and things like that in the islands and she thinks in Elbonia. they are the biggest Arch firm in Alaska.
