Over the weekend I met a newlywed couple that are spending their last weeks in their old flat in D.C. They are moving out to the left coast nearby her mother in SoCal. They were claiming the cheapest way to ship their remaining belongings was Amtrak! Packed all their items in boxes. Placed them on a couple of pallets, shrink wrapped the pallets, labeled them and delivered the pallets to Amtrak!
NOW mind you they dumped via craigslist their big items such as hand me down couches, a bed, mattresses, and other items that does no sell. They sold off their TV's, Bikes, some electronics, furniture such as a dining room set, end tables, some fixtures, some kitchen appliances. All they mostly had were boxes of clothing and various books and files.
and NO they didn't take the same trains as their pallets did. They came up to NY for a funeral, stayed with some local relatives, and are flying out to the West Coast.
anyone here of this?
interesting!
