I mentioned this on my website and Chatty told me that her furniture was lost for three months!

We hired a reputable furniture mover to take a small load to MN. Was supposed to have been there no later than the 9th of Jan. I call the company every morning and ask what's going on and they say they are checking and will call me back. So far, they haven't returned my call once.

Luckily, we don't need the stuff right now but what happens to people who can't move into their home because they have no furniture and it's out in the ozone layer somewhere?

Dianne,
My friend moved from where I live now to CO this month . Before they left they were living in a apt until her house was built in CO . My friend told me they stored there furiture in storage Pods and she had the keys . So, I guess they ship these Pods out to where they have moved . I have not heard from them and hope they got there furiture , Okay !

Yep United lost 1/2 truck load of my things riding piggy back on another customers order. Luckily the newspaper put me up in the Executive apartment on the Hill in Washington D.C. while they tried to find my tiny bunch of stuff. In Vegas I had been in a furnished place so didn't have much to move. They found my stuff 3 months later. It had been sent to Washington state instead of Washington D.C. and was sitting in a warehouse there...Say a prayer for Dianne!

I kept calling every morning and guess what? They must have gotten tired of me because the furniture will be delivered next Wednesday! Yea Team.

You know that old saying "The squeaky wheel gets the oil"...the older I get the more that becomes my mantra when dealing with businesses (not family or friends of course)..it looks like it worked for you Dianne...I'm so happy it has worked out for you!!!

when my sister moved from CO to MN, the truck driver with the moving company stole their load. it was found abandoned at a truck stop in KS.

Glad they found it.

This reminds me of lost luggage when traveling.

What happens to it? I can't imagine. Does someone steal it from the airports?

i don't know about lost luggage, but i am wary of sending packages through customs. we had an exchange student from finland one year. when she returned home, i mailed several boxes of her belongings that she couldn't take on the plane home.

a few months later, a pkg. came in our mail for her. it was a box full of junk, including just a couple of her items. apparently, they had ripped into her boxes and found an envelope addressed to her at our house so they used that for a mailing label. then they loaded up the box with everything from foreign language books to a child's dress, woman's shorts and other junk and sent it all here. i never did find out whether she rec'd all the stuff i sent her. all i managed to get was a few dollars back on the postage i paid to send it over.

i don't send anything of much value over there any more as i don't want to lose it in customs.

Why is it that the more we pay, the less service we get??? They recently found a mailman here with three storage units full of opened and unopened mail. He is going down bigtime.

They have huge sales of lost luggage that was never claimed. I have no idea how they end up there. We've had our luggage lost but they've always managed to get it to us.

I hope that mailman does go down!
