Moving in Containers – Part 3

I posted about the containers being loaded up in Tucson more than a month ago (part 1 and part 2). A couple of weeks ago, the 1^st container packed up in Tucson was delivered to the Pittsburgh apartment. Instead of an apartment parking lot, the container had to be parked on an urban street. Fortunately, there was a parking space right in front of the apartment building. It was a harder job to unload because there were steps up to the building and then the apartment was on the second floor once the movers were inside (so 2 floors of steps). There was some grumbling about the stairs. And it took them a little longer to do the unloading than it had when the container was loaded.

Everything inside the container was in good shape – no breakage. Some of the boxes were crushed enough that they will just be recycled rather than reused. There are still two containers that we delivered in a few weeks to their apartment in State College...but so far – moving in containers has been a positive experience in terms of service and cost.
