Moving safe. Worth it?

[stascom]

Thanks for more ideas!

Where in Idaho you moving. If close to me I'll help you. I moved my 1,100lb Sturdy Safe 1000 miles to Idaho.

I'm looking for a place close to the Oregon border. Nothing exact, yet. But probably within 80mi of Boise.

Put the safe, and other heavy items, toward the front when loading the truck. Don't put it too far back. Keep the weight centered between the front and rear wheels (left and right too). If you put it too far back in the truck, the springs could be compressed enough to make the bottom of the truck box hit the tires.

If you are lucky, you might get 1/2 what you paid. THEN you will probably be looking for one when you get there (spending more $$$). Then delivery is where.....???? Curb? Threshold? You'll still need to move it in to your home (apartment?).

I'd suggest save the extra process(es) of selling then re-purchasing. You've already purchased this one. It's paid for. A little extra $$$ to move it isn't no big deal.

(IMHO)

All Penske had the day I moved mine with a lift gate was a 26 footer. That lift gate on a 26 footer would make loading things like dressers and couches easier too.

Take the door off. Its not that bad.
