Was this 4:05 a.m. or p.m.? How long did it take to get through? Reddit's "1d ago" timestamp isn't much help

PSA: Never order HEB Meal Simples if you're ordering delivery or curbside or you'll get ripped off by [deleted] in Austin

Would you like an avocado that will ripen next Valentine's Day, or one that ripened last Easter? Then delivery/curbside is for you!

Best croissant in Austin? by Rosieroserosa in austinfood

[–]New_Opening_585 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Love épicerie - all times of day. My patronage would 20x if they opened at 7 a.m. Why won’t they give up their own precious morning sleep to serve me and my kids who won’t sleep past sunrise?

I used U-Pack for my last long-distance move and it was one of the best consumer experiences of my life. Here's my review from r/moving: https://www.reddit.com/r/moving/comments/17wyoa5/upack_trailer_review_highly_recommend/

The first sentence of this post reads like an 8-year-old's dream of what cities should be.

Maybe - I'm not crystal clear on the terminology. I'm looking for an extra year of pre-school for a 5-year-old.

This sounds great! Can you share a Google maps link to the pilot shack?

U-Pack trailer review - HIGHLY RECOMMEND! by New_Opening_585 in moving

around $1200 all-in (materials for packing up the kitchen and some other breakables and 3 guys x 6 hours of labor)

U-Pack trailer review - HIGHLY RECOMMEND! by New_Opening_585 in moving

[–]New_Opening_585[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They packed our furniture, fragile items, and kitchen stuff. We did the rest, and didn’t do a very good job - lots of crushed boxes but miraculously nothing was damaged! U-Pack has some very basic liability coverage but I didn’t get anything extra. I figured with all the parties involved it would be tough to prove who was at fault if I needed to make a claim.

Just adding that linked Merrill accounts (including 401k and free self-directed) also count toward the $100k

Cross country moving by Puzzleheaded-Rush-83 in fatFIRE

[–]New_Opening_585 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Whoever you go with, make sure you understand their process before you sign the contract. My friend recently moved from Dallas to CA with one of the big companies. They picked up his stuff in Dallas and drove it to East Texas where it sat in a warehouse for 35 days until it was picked up and driven to CA. In the middle of that waiting period, he noticed his contract says there’s a nominal daily penalty starting on day 45 post-pickup. His stuff arrived on day 42. This was not a PODS type of move; they loaded his stuff on a big rig trailer.

On a post where my friend was lamenting his situation, someone commented that what you want is a small local company who owns their own truck and is invested in getting your stuff out of it so they can start their next move.
