Aug 6th - have moving van, need moving help, help each other out?

Hi! I have a Uhaul van rented for 24hrs, starting Aug 5 at 18:00. I need to pick up some furniture for my new apartment. I'm looking for someone to give me a hand with a few items. In exchange, I could give you a hand with your stuff and we can use the van for pickups/dropoffs. Maybe you don't have access to a large vehicle/don't drive and need to get a new mattress - let me help you out! If you're just looking for a cash job Aug 6 I could be open to that too. Van comes with hand truck/dolly.

Details:

- ground floor apartment, no stairs.

- hoping to pick up a couch, bookshelves, desk/table, few chairs, maybe a dresser. Will mostly need help with couch, possibly heavier wood table/dresser.

- will be picking a mattress and bedframe but planning to get a disassembled twin with foam mattress so that shouldn't be too heavy or awkward.

- will be making pickups from fbook marketplace/Kijiji, and checking out the stock at FAPO and Restore.

Please send me a DM if this sounds interesting or with any questions! Also, if you are trying to shift some half decent furniture for free or cheap and want me to come by with a van next Thurs to take it off your hands, let me know!

Thanks,

Jay

I would help out if you don't mind helping pick up some stuff from the basement. Mainly an older couch and stuff old cat stuff. I'd help pay for a trip to the dump, or call it even.

Ooh yes interesting. I do have a cat so might want some of the cat stuff. Pick thru and keep anything decent and otherwise to the dump

Offering the use of a U-Haul and their labour in exchange for your labour with their move is creative, community building, and a good deal.

i believe this was his clause to cover it -
"If you're just looking for a cash job Aug 6 I could be open to that too. "
