Thanks to past comments here, I recommended the Library use Craters
and Freighters to move a hot-press machine, and two units full of
drawers of type. Big mistake. They dismantled the machine, after
being told not to, and who knows if the damage they did can be
repaired. They demolished the units of drawers, and who knows how
much type they lost as they moved the stuff half way across country
(I'm told that there was loose type in the truck and on the ground
when they unloaded).
Sounds like the only things they didn't demolish were the bolts of fabric.
I've not been able to get over to view the carnage, and I'm not
looking forwards to it.
I also found that if you're using them to move stuff like computer
equipment you have to sign off that they're not responsible for any
damage they do. WTF!
