Recycles dryer sheets
We are planning to move 11 pieces of furniture from our house in Illinois to our condo in Florida. We will eventually downsize the house, and plan to re-use this instead of buying new. Some of it is antique, and the rest is fairly high cost stuff. I figure the replacement value is $25,000 if bought new. It is all in excellent condition. It isn't a huge amount of stuff-four of the pieces are wood chairs that would fit in the back of an SUV. There is a large sofa and two large chairs, a large wooden desk, two chests of drawers, and a large, heavy metal cocktail table with a thick glass top.
The sofa, large chairs, cocktail table base, and maybe the desk will be dropped in one place to have work done, and the rest will go directly to the condo.
We don't want to move these things ourselves.
Because of the value and condition, we are concerned about how the move is handled. We don't need the stuff by a specific date, but we would prefer not to give it to someone who will put it in a warehouse, then reload it on a truck.
Any issues I should be looking out for? Any non-routine questions I should be asking? I plan to have several movers come and give estimates.
Any advice appreciated.
