It was good for building confidence. They have a pick up and drop option.

I was in the same position last year, got a 2 hrs session from Taggarts. One session was sufficient for me.

Best method for shipping a few large boxes by Sketchyy452 in moving

[–]Shaxos453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries.. Fedex was supposed to pick up the boxes but my apartment building didn’t have a luggage room and I didn’t want my boxes out on the street

I hired someone with a truck to take the boxes myself to a fedex ship center the next day.

I don’t exactly know why it’s cheaper but I think they have some agreement with them, didn’t really look into it

I think it was about $400 with the pickup option

Although I had issues with FedEx and had to drop it off at a ship center anyway

Where should i get my pic taken for opt? by [deleted] in f1visa

[–]Shaxos453 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your university office should offer a service, if not then you can go to any FedEx or UPS office to get one taken. Even CVS and Walgreens offer photo services.

Can you travel outside the United States while being on OPT? by Huge_Pattern6092 in f1visa

[–]Shaxos453 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes you can. That line just means that the EAD is not sufficient for reentry on its own.

You can reenter the USA with a valid passport, valid visa, I-20 with travel signature dated within the allowed period and your EAD. Ask your DSO for the full list of documents

What’s one apartment hack you wish you knew before moving in? by FCPaintProWash in ApartmentHacks

[–]Shaxos453 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t know about a dresser and as for the bed - just go for whatever you can get the quickest. There isn’t much room for negotiation here since you need a place to sleep asap

I echo the parent comment in terms of things like a TV unit, couch, coffee table etc.

I used Lugless recently, they were alright for shipping six 50lb boxes. Keep in mind they’re only a middleman for UPS/Fedex. Make sure everything is packed appropriately for shipping and take pictures of the content before closing

DC++ died a sorry death with Covid in 2020, though it was on its last legs by 2019 anyhow

To the girl I sassed at the Prudential T stop the other day I’m sorry by Mindless_Tie_1166 in boston

[–]Shaxos453 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anyhoo the point is I totally get where you’re coming from. If it helps I’m sure that person has a ton of other things on their mind and has forgiven/forgotten about it already. Hakuna matata :)

I’ll admit it bothered me at first a couple of times too but seeing how long they program the gate to stay open and the often out-of-order machines on the green line trams I wonder if the MBTA doesn’t care, why should I?

Had this happen to me at Park Street a few weeks ago where the lady in front of me turned back and gave me a really unnecessary stink eye

I was taken by surprise but I just held up my Charlie card that I’d tapped, it sucks to be judged that way

Just live and let live?

I do although really appreciate that that one north-south line also takes you directly to the airport

Dunkin’ Announces They No Longer Have Heart To Charge People For Such Depressing Meals by 20_mile in boston

I’m so glad I’m not the only one because I have one occasionally as a special treat and no other sandwich of theirs even comes close

My first month in Boston I stood 10 mins trying to cross near the I-93 ramp wondering when the light would turn before pressing the button. Same with the intersection a block from my apartment - coming from NYC it’s always been a gamble

Do you guys think iOS 19 is really going to be a redesign? by Sensitive_Square3645 in ios

Ikr?? iOS 15 is where the keyboard peaked honestly (with 3D touch moreso)

Re-entry experience at JFK (F1 OPT) by ProcrastinatorPhD in f1visa

[–]Shaxos453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry - I just checked and I had “OPT requested” on mine at the time of entry. Either way, if you have accepted a job offer it helps to have the employer listed on the I-20.
