Here's the tally so far of damages:
The main TV (27") is broken. Cracked in the front and the remote control receiver is smashed.
The (previously brand new) gun safe is banged up. The movers dropped it off the truck ramp right in front of Stephen. Still functional, but mightily scuffed. :o(
Stephen's turkey tail feather mount is mangled. The VA packers shoved it in a box and piled kitchen goods on top of it.
Several plastic tubs and boxes are mutilated or crushed. The packers in VA did a HORRIBLE job of packing our things. They did not follow company policies. They hardly wrapped anything in paper or packing. We'll find a whole box of loose (some broken) glassware, completely unwrapped. And then you'll see this giant, fully encased "something" that'll turn out to be a plastic laundry basket or something. They fully wrapped trash they found in the basement of the Virginia house, but they just tossed antique beer steins into a box with a bunch of other stuff. Unbelievable.
They had a giant stack of packing paper to wrap things with in VA, most went unused. But they used two of Donald's posters to wrap a framed painting. Hmmmm.
Given the opportunity to use Premier Movers out of Salem, VA... don't!
THE GOOD NEWS:
- The guns arrived intact (despite having been removed from the gun safe and packed into a wardrobe box with clothing piled on top to "conceal" them). Totally against all policies and I believe the law!
- The scrapbooks all arrived intact. Yay!

We're photographing diligently. We want to get more things unpacked before filing our claim... Not sure how long it'll take, but we new from the get-go that we'd be making a claim.
