Comments like these is why I haven't bothered with them till now. How
is the service after the sale? Are they as eager to go home at 3 PM as
the Gov. emp were? Do they still have forklifts? I have noticed that
several sales are listed as buyer must load. I have bought a lot of
stuff that I couldn't have loaded without a forklift.

This is costly chaos for MV buyers and it's something that could be fixed easy enough if L. L. would get their act together.
