c9Two things I've learned over the course of this move:
1. If someone says "we'll deliver between 7 AM and 1 PM," they really mean "we'll be there at about five minutes before one PM." (Rogers and IKEA so far, and Sears has nine minutes left to not be late)
Update that I know nobody cares about, but since I started the topic I better keep it up to date: Sears had a truck break down this morning, so everything's a few hours late. But I'm getting free delivery ($65) which is kinda nice.
2. Don't "pack" powdered dishwasher detergent, or an opened packet of curry spices, by simply placing them opening-downwards in a box. Now, technically I haven't learned this, because I already knew it. But Halifax Transfer's packers appear to have major problems with the concept. One of our kitchen cupboards smells like curry, and our bedding all smells like President's Choice Dishwashing Detergent.
Time to go assemble more stuff.
