Glad to hear that the move has gone well and you are settling in, it can be a stressful time if something goes wrong.

Personally I will never, ever let anyone else touch my equipment again after our last move.
While I was reasonably happy with the way the company handled everything else even if I suspect they drove our car down and not on a truck they certainly had no respect or even knowledge in how to handle telescopes. Thankfully no lasting damage was done but it was enough for me.
We were quoted that they would build a crate and sufficiently cushion the telescopes for transport.
This never happened, they just wrapped the tubes in bubble wrap and put them in the truck.
For whatever reason they removed the dust cap on the ERF for the PST mod and presumably ditched it, something they had zero right to touch let alone remove.
Thankfully there were no scratches but I was livid. There was also a minor issue with a finderscope but again no damage done.
Really in the end I should of and did know better but the lesson has been learnt.
Never trust anybody else who does not understand what equipment they are holding touch your stuff.
