Little White Lies

We haven't had a delivery helper for over a 1-1/2 years. Rose helps me with the small stuff. On sofas she simply tells the customer if they can have someone there to lift one end they can save $60. Sometimes they have two helpers. :)


The supplied helper is always eager to help so the first thing I tell them is how hard it is to get the skirt to lay flat and please lift it. I can see a day in the near future we'll have to tell customers to have the sofa sitting outside and ready to load.

Does anyone use plastic wrap to put around the chair/sofa to hold the skirt up? I got a box of 4 rolls of stretch wrap and have started using it. It is a bit of a pain to put on because you have to keep the skirts straight, but it does seem to make the moving easier.

I got the 4 rolls on an auction site for $3.00 plus tax. I think it was $45.00 retail.

We use stretch wrap a lot. For wrapping skirts up, wrapping bags on furniture. General wraping most anything. It is not bad when bought by the case I think I pay around 4 bucks a roll for the 4". In the 2 yrs and 4 months we have used a case and a half. The stuff is handy for many uses. The first roll I bought was from walmart I think. It cost 8 or so dollars. That is a bit much but worked for the testing. If anyone is interested I can post the company I get it from just dont know it off hand now.

The rolls I got at the auction are 18" wide. Trying to cut them down is on my "to do" list.
