Opportunity struck, and I found a good job with good personal life synergy. I'm about to start the disassembly for shipment of my Centurion and Carlton in a few weeks.

I always handled all this stuff myself in the past, and was hoping that the corporate relocation package that handles grandfather clocks and pianos that I don't have would also tackle this, but apparently that's on me.

During my last move, from Europe back to the US, the shop a block from my house was happy to gift me as many bike boxes as I could handle. That was pre-pandemic...

Has it been easy for people to get cast-off bike boxes in recent months? It's only about 400-500 miles, so probably the shortest move I've had in ages outside of moving town to town in Sweden in a box truck where I didn't bother with boxing. I don't get full control over the process, which could involve transfers and storage of individual items.
