Move to Colorado -- goods weighed 575lbs. Estimate to move back to MD --- 1,300lbs.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Mar 28 '11, 09:07

I added an air-matress and a few books. I am actually leaving plates and glasses.

So maybe 25lbs more than what I ended up bringing out here.....

The estimator missed by 120%.

I'm allowed 1,000lbs to ship free before I'm responsible for actual overage.

Our movers always 'under-estimate.' They never quite realized how many books and records we had :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 28, 09:15
my move PA --> MD was 3500 pounds (I was allowed 3750) and I moved most of my clothes myself. my move from NH to PA was less than 2400 and I moved - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 28, 09:14 4
- I went barebones here (bed, chair, tv, clothes, some plates/books/dvds) - Will Hunting Mar 28, 09:17 2
  - do you know what your actual weight to move there was? -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 28, 09:18 1
    - It's within 25lbs of 575. I don't know the exact off hand, but it was in that realm. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 28, 09:26
- No, only about half a ton :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 28, 09:16
I picture Will with a couple of those rib racks from the opening credits of the Flintstones all wrapped up and ready to move -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:11

That Colorado beef sure must have been tasty. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 09:08 1
- For the record, when in the years ahead people ask the point I turned heel vs you and Dano; this thread is it. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 28, 09:09
How much of that is you? -- nm - Dano Mar 28, 09:07 1
- That might account for the overage. Thanks Dano for pointing out I'm fat. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 28, 09:08
