The window was 8-10am. At 10, they said 1. At 1.45, they said 3.45. At 4.15, they said they'll let me know when they're on the way from the other side of town.

Luckily, I'm not moving far and I've moved most of it on my own. This isn't a real disaster, but it sure is infuriating.

Edit: a removalist, which is a common term in my country, is someone who moves your shit from a to b.

Removalist... lol

When the to do list on your notepad is done and you want to start a fresh one, it‘s time to remove-a-list.

I managed to hire a moving crew for Sunday morning at 830 the night before. I was very very surprised they showed.

Well, if they take long enough, you will have moved all of it any you don't have to pay them.

I understand the frustration, the movers are probably having a long crappy day too. At least you brought the important stuff with you @OP :)

You're right. They were having a crap day. A little communication from them would have helped the situation a lot. It's all over now!
