9/29    Moving company picked up my stuff.  Now they called me to say that
        the actual volumes for the LCL load is 2m^3 bigger than their own
        estimate, which in turn is 1m^3 bigger than my own calculation
        after they have put everything in boxes.  Now since they have my
        stuff already, I have no choice but agreeing witht them, right?  And
        is this a standard trick of moving companies?
        \_ You used Starving Students, didn't you?  And no, you don't have to
           agree to anything.  Tell em to deliver as planned at the target
           address or you'll see them in court.
        \_ This seems to be the standard scam.

           In general, however, having your stuff and saying it'll cost more
           is a standard scam.  Go to http://parents.berkeley.edu if you want to
