That has to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces@nanog.org] On Behalf Of Barry Shein Sent: Friday, November 07, 2014 2:09 PM To: Larry Sheldon Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Shipping bulk hardware via freight I remember when we got our SGI Challenge XL delivered. It was around 1200lbs and the trucker refused to do an inside delivery even though we'd specified that, we were on the second floor (up one flight of stairs tho a few more to get to the stairs.) Their excuse was that we didn't have a proper way to do that. That is, there were three steps before the elevator and whatever else they think of not to do it. So rather than fuss with them and leaving the $500K system on the sidewalk outside I called: Death Wish Movers They're a company in Boston which specializes in moving big pianos and similar. The Travel Channel (I think it was) made a reality series about them briefly. Four guys showed up and decided they didn't even want to use the elevator, too small or something. They just hauled that thing up the stairs with your usual ONE...TWO...THREE...LIFT! ONE...TWO...THREE...LIFT!... I forget the cost but it wasn't a lot, maybe $300? Needless to say I recommend them. http://www.deathwishpiano.com -b
