They packed their stuff in the back of the trailer, then the company put up a partition between their stuff and whatever else they ended up putting in there and dropped it off in Ohio a week or so later after the other stuff was unloaded. No funny little containers involved... <br /> <br />--Nora <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />OK,..when I recently moved from Torrance CA to Indiana, I shopped one of these services, after seeing them drop a container at a neighbors, with the provision of " call us when its full, or we will be back in 10 days to get it, your choice" which seemed like a good idea, marketing wise. After all moving companies have t write big contingencies for steps, access limitations, packing damage etc. By shifting those headaches to the consumer, which the consumer can usually handle better anyway, it puts you in a position to only pay for the transportation. Seems smart to me
