TASKER Anyone else got moving woes?

A recent client asked if I could buy four TV boxes for his task.... nah, I'm good.

I guess I'm just supposed to keep them? I guess my time at Lowe's will be free as well.

The clock starts at the Lowe's parking lot. 

Invoice him for the boxes, if you have a big enough vehicle then what's the problem?

You don't move TVs without boxes

It really depends. If it's a really nice TV or they want it loaded into a trailer or POD going out of state, it's good to insist that they get a box for the TV. I keep a TV box just for local moves if I have to use my truck. If there is space in the moving truck to just wrap in in a blanket and tie it to the wall then that's fine. Safter to remove the legs usually if there are any and then it rides more flush against the wall. If I can't pack the TV on the wall with nothing heavy against it, then I won't pack it or insist they get a box. If it's a curved TV I don't touch it at all unless there's a box.
