That's what I liked about vintage transport. There was no turning it over to a shipper. No one else for them to point the finger at if something went wrong.

I'm cynical, but I gave up and had it shipped because of the weather, lack of available time, and the fact the a true accounting of costs would have made it more expensive to move myself. Still, because of my attachment to the set I was very tempted to do it myself.
