So I'm going to be moving to Tokyo in about a month and I'm getting things ready for the move.
Apparently (according to my fiancé) there's only one moving service here I can use, called Yamato. I'm moving during the busy season, so I wasn't expecting it to be cheap, but it's pretty expensive (almost 10万円) for everything that I'm bringing. Besides a TV and a bicycle, I'm not anything crazy.
With all that being said, the biggest thing that I'm worried about though, is I have some pillows and blankets that I want to bring with me as well. Instead of buying a box just for these little things, I thought it would be better to just put it in a bag and then give it to them (it'll save me a lot of money too). I called and asked them if that was okay and they said it's okay as long as the bag isn't "easily breakable".
This really confused me since I've heard how great and gentle moving services are and I assumed they wouldn't even imply something like that. How do you break a bag that you just set down in the truck while you drive to the new apartment?
Anyway, I have anxiety and now I'm freaking out because I'm worried that these guys are going to be throwing around my valuables or things like that. Even if I put my stuff in a box, if they're throwing it around carelessly then of course it's going to break/be damaged.
I don't want my expensive stands/statues to break. I want them to be transported with care. If I can't trust this place with a bag then how can I trust them with anything?
This is my first big move and like I said before, anxiety. Does anyone have any info that they can give me to help? Am I really stuck using Yamato or is there an alternative?
