  • So I no longer work there but I worked 10+ years as Ops manager in international removals. Once a year we would do a stocktake on all the inbound freight locations, pull aside anything that was out of place and then try and find an owner, most of the items were returned to their owners. But every year there would also be a few items without any identification, I would set these aside myself in the warehouse and then the following year if still unclaimed I would take them home or throw it in the bin.

    The best items are 3 x 1.5L bottles of Penfolds Grange & 50g bar of gold.

    But other than that there are so many items, a limited edition Beatles Sargent Pepper’s marble pressing with all the inserts intact. Few antique gold mirrors. Artwork. Media centre PC. Dining table and chairs. 2 Herman Miller office chairs, that’s just the stuff I remember while looking around my house now





  • Same, I’ll unpack any electrical item and keep all the packaging including the wire tiers on cords, plastic bags with the tape carefully folded back and pack all of that back up in the box and storage the empty box in my garage incase. I then use the item until it breaks and then 6 years later see the box on a shelf while walking passed, realise I no longer own said item and throw the box away.








  • Yep, I did it for over 11 years and while on boarding new staff I always made sure they understood come to me if you want the day off, I don’t care when, I’ll never say no, just let me know when you know.

    If you don’t do this and the person can’t find somebody to cover and they really need the day off for whatever reason then they just call in sick that morning and it’s a lot harder finding a replacement at 5am that day vs 3pm the day before.
