All true, I did catch my error.
I always figure double the weight of the safe then I know I am good.
even at 5 times weight of safe your still less than you rump in a chair
Well I thought I should be good, but you know how the wife worry's. I guess I will just hire someone to move it in for me.
I used the people recomended by the Gander Mountain in Spring (where I purchased the safe), worked great & I had him bolt it down for me as well....
Who was that? PM me if you don't want to post.
The guy Gander Mountain recommended to us wanted cash, could not tell me how much it would be even though he knew what safe we were looking at and the mileage from GM to me, and could not give out receipts. Their other guy wasn't much better.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall at their IRS audit.
I dont remember off the top of my head, you could call the Spring location & ask them. They allow him to advertise in the store & I believe he charges by weight, & if there are stairs involved or not. He also charges extra to bolt it down
I am curious about the receipt bit, do you always ask people you have not yet done business with if they are going to give you a receipt at the end?
Yes. You need to document the work. Generally, a reputable/legitimate business won't blink an eye. Shysters will. I'm guessing if something goes wrong, the insurance company or police will want to know. If you want any warranty work done, you're up crap creek without a receipt.
What if the guy did a crappy job drilling the concrete or screwed up changing the combination?
EDIT: Wanted to add ... If they are charging sales tax and not paying it, I want to have a little something to apply heat with.
That all makes sense, I just have never asked about a receipt prior to getting the work done......
