I’m still looking for a place where I can afford to retire on an Australian pension and some modest savings. Your videos make Malaysia sound very enticing. I am hoping you and Earlgrey can now relax a little and enjoy your new surroundings. Best wishes from Brisbane!

Perhaps, if you ever need to move again to a more inspiring new house, you should seriously consider hiring a professional packer and mover, maybe a little more expensive, but more reliable. Have you watched the video by Jack Alderton and his apartment in KL, USD614 per month, minimum 1 year lease, very good location not that far from KLCC. He's a young Australian expatriate who has lived in KL for around 3 years, I think you should interview him to create a new content for your video. 😀

Moving companies are the worst, even the reputable ones. I understand if the moving truck is stuck in a blizzard or something like that but inevitably I have either bad packers or lost/damaged items or both! And it’s next to impossible to collect insurance when they’ve damaged or lost items,it takes forever and it’s a pittance. The last move from the east coast to the west coast was especially bad. Besides being days late ( not their fault,blizzard in CO) they managed to destroy almost every single lamp shade,packed the art poorly so that the frames on a number of pieces were ruined and they lost our ladder and other items, too. I have, God willing, one more move and I pray it goes better than the last several.

Despite the hassles and damage to your furniture, fortunately you're now at your new home and the worst is behind you. Unfortunately, it's only you, not the movers, that value your belongings. Some damage may occur no matter how careful one is, but it does sound as if they didn't put in enough effort. It also makes me think of UPS and FedEx that may just throw your box up to the door, or they deliver a box that looks like they drove over it with their truck. May you have many years of enjoyment in your new home.

Sorry you had issues with your move. As you know, I moved from San Diego to North Florida 3 years ago. It was a disaster. Cost was $13,000 %50 more than agreed. They lost my $30,000 persian carpet, $50,000 high quality painting, $300 step panels for chair and lots of electronics, etc. It was gone or disappeared. So after all this it was a very, very bad move. I will take your advice if I move to where you are so I never move again. 😆 LOL. One thing is I very much enjoy following your residence expertise. I grew up to like Malaysia from reading and watching your videos. I bought you coffee. Hope we can do it in person.

That said, please if, if ever you need to move house again, please get professional movers to do it for you. They will usually come discuss with you before the move then get you boxes for loose items to be boxed and then wrapped the remaining furnitures for the move. The fragiles will be sorted out and all. Anyway, hope you get loads of rest and enjoy settling in.

Hi Andrew. Sorry to hear abt your misadventure in moving to your new digs. During my working years, I've had to move many times frm my home base to outstation places, including my office things(have lots of books and things in d office). Wat I did was to make sure I got a professional mover to move my things. Wat they wld do was to come to my house/office and ask to see d things I needed to move, after which they wld assess their costs, including how many lorries wld b needed to transport my personal effects. They wld then invoice me(d costs for d move wld include all d wrappings needed to ensure my furniture etc wld not b damaged, they wld unwrap my personal effects and take away all d rubbish for me). I don't remember d costs but as far as I'm concerned I paid watever was invoiced as money well spent since I don't remember being unhappy about d movers services. I used d same movers thru out. Dis way I saved myself a lot of grief.

Transport booked from people like thelorry are general transporters, not movers specifically. That's why they don't seem to know what to do.

Some building management body insist of depositing the cheque or bank-in cash into the account instead of holding the cheque in the safe box. From their experience some cheques were bounced. You’ll also get the deposit after a month of moving in. For mover services, there are bound to be scratches and damage of furniture. Probably the pricier professional services will handle the items with care and would make sure enough lorries tonnage to accommodate all the items and charge accordingly.

A lorry of these "moving companies" just sub contract the work out so you never know who you're going to get. When I was moving I engaged one of these companies and when I cancelled the man became very unpleasant and threatened to come on the day to beat me up. He also kept calling my phone non stop just to mess with me till I blocked him. I read many Google reviews of horror stories of these movers. It's ridiculous that they didn't go back and move the rest of your stuff especially if it was so near. You should just have gotten a small lorry from Lalamove for that and would not cost much. They were definitely trying to squeeze more money out of you. Under quoting is a known tactic and it happens to locals as well. In the end, I just got a lorry from Lalamove and it was so easy and they were so nice. A real professional mover with trained staff and uniformed would cost much more, think in thousands. Glad your ordeal is over anyway.

Actually, I did use one of those "professional" companies before because it was some very precious items that needed to be moved to Ipoh. A lady came with a clipboard and forms, it was all very professional. On the day it the move, they just sent some subcontracted lorry not different from what you would get off an advert for" lorry for rent" off a tree. They were very late arriving at the destination and went MIA for hours and it cost over RM3k. So you never know. 🤷

In regards to the gouge... candle wax may make this less noticeable depending on size of it. Just get a candle and light it and drip wax into it and scrap the excess before it dries. May take you a few tries to do this to your satisfaction. Learnt this trick from a summer job restoring antique furniture. Cheques, you usually have to go into a bank to get them to print one or order via banking app or banking website. Atleast in the countries I've lived in recently. I really enjoy your vlogs.
