So now I have to pull the money for a rental truck out of mid-air apparently. And no Thanksgiving with my brother, SIL, niece and nephew down in FL now
offer to pay a nominal amount, or to pay in stockpile items, or meals, or GCs.
you can also do the same for moving help. people do that on craigs all the time and get help. think about it this way - you are tight on money and need a way to afford a truck but have other things to give. someone else is likely tight on money and has a truck but needs household supplies, or gift cards for christmas or whatever. a win-win.
another option - if you are not moving far, uhaul has a van for 19.99 a day + tax. in some parts of the country mileage is included. in other parts of the country there is a charge. fits a queen size mattress (just to give you sense of height)...
if you go here [target.com]... you can sign up to get a sneak preview of the 2-day sale... which runs on 11/26 and 11/27. when i tried last night, after I hit submit it went to an error page so I have no idea if it took the info or not.
typical Target programming.
i'm wondering, can they put up some really great computer programmers up for sale this holiday season? maybe we could all chip in and buy the programmers for Target as a christmas present... after all it's important to give if you want to receive.
Is it your DH that has the game store? I recently picked up a nice OriginalGangster NES Nintendo system with complete remotes and gun, plus extra controllers and about 10 games for $10
I sold my old ass PS2 at a kids consignment sale yet none of the accessories or games went. It kills me that gamestop will only give me $11 for the PS2 DJhero I just bought not too long ago for $50ish but we want to get rid of all of it and get Wii to go with the Xbox santa is bring Thanx to the Target ad mistake.

I'm hoping to find someone to "pay" in stockpiled stuff to help my dad move the heavy stuff. I can move furniture, but not the heavy stuff like washer, fridge, etc.

What was the Xbox ad mistake? It's probably over, but curiosity and all.

you can definitely get moving help in exchange for stockpile. post in craiglist ASAP.
okay, 600 miles is a lot. so you'll atleast need a one-day rental (24hrs) on a truck. likely 2 days given loading/unloading time.
couple of things that get you discounts -
1) midweek rentals. most people try to rent around a weekend
2) most people want smaller/midsize trucks. if you agree to rent the really big one, you'll often get a discounted rate because they have a hard time moving those. if you do that, you can also post on craigs and see if anyone would consider sharing with you. if so, you load all your stuff at the back. then put large bookshelves as a barrier and wrap those shelves in blankets and strap them around the shelves. then begins the other person's stuff in truck. so there stuff comes off the truck first, and goes on to the truck last.
3) if you give the rental place advance notice, sometimes they will cut you a discount if they can plan, because often they need to get trucks over from one location to another, and basically you're doing that for them.
4) if any of you have a AAA membership, there are discounts with some truck companies
5) if you have multiple cars, another option is to get one good sized truck and two trailers... you'll have to play around with pricing.
6) remember this time of year is the slow time for all moving/storage services. which means you are in the driver's seat
7) finally, a cautionary tale: when you guys put stuff in there, make sure to securely wrap everything and i mean EVERYTHING in painter's plastic. even boxes. years ago we rented a large truck for a cross country move. it was spring/early summer and there was a large band of storms moving through the south, central and eastern parts of the nation
lesson - test drive your empty truck for a few miles before you fill it up with your stuff. make sure the parking brake (key for hills) works. make sure all the brakes work, there are no warning lights, no roof leaks. headlights and taillights work. horn works. and most of all make sure that darn governor doesn't kick in at 45!
penske has some major discounts on its site. 20% off for a one way rental when you reserve online. AAA discounts. more.
this definitely a do your homework dealio.
also, post in the SD lounge, or in the Help me Find a Deal forum. you never know - there may be penske/uhaul etc dealers on SD, or someone with a truck willing to help. put the word out. and post on your FB page, explaining the situation. you just never know who can/will help!
i know in store there is a clear and wide communication gap when it comes to understanding coupons, or how coupons work, or how coupon redemption works. me thinks that goes farther up the food chain. and certainly would translate to overseas workers, because manufacturer coupons aren't used in many places around the world.
if they had outsourced it, i'm sure there are many experienced software companies since the US economy is absolutely driven by purchase power. there are hundreds of supermarket companies alone. i think they would have been able to demand the software company fix the problem immediately after the first media report way back in august, was it? target is like the number 2 toy seller after walmart and amongst the top 10 retailers and no software company would have wanted to lose their business.
I was thinking that the coupons brought up the CCV screen. Now that I think more about it the coupon scanned and just took off $0.00. The cashier noticed it and manually entered the amount. I am not liking this.
Luckily, we've done a few cross country moves before and my dad can pack like nothing else (it's a big game of Tetris to him!)- so this move is actually pretty easy for him. And no farking way I'm driving that truck- I'm driving my little Civic
Forgot about using AAA for a discount
I don't think I could stand going in one day thinking, yep, I predict it will do X, possibly Y and then the POS do Z instead (that I hadn't even thought of).
