My internet provider shipped my modem to the address and my realtor says this spooked the seller.  

Compass can recruit as heavily as it wants, but the top agents that produce most of the commissions are still going to go with whatever brokerage gives them the best deal, meaning Compass is going to need to retain the hefty commission model or its top producers that it lured will just jump ship again, most top agents I've seen have flipped brokerages half a dozen times or more, they keep a generic gmail account for all business so they don't have to deal with the hassle of switching email accounts when they flip brokers.

You can by semi truck ship anywhere in the state from Lakeland and that driver can return home to Lakeland that evening due to its central location.

I'd be leary of cabinets in a box drop shipped, although some higher end German types get here in boxes.

I'm curious to see with so many packages being delivered now what the cost of shipping goods is going to end up being too with the UPS driver increase.

I wonder about trucking/transport/shipping now, because this appears to be a weak link in the big picture equation.

First,  that HGTV resort is in Andros which has no Commercial Flights and very small and sporadic container ships. 

Pre-order as much as you can from Amazon (get a prime account if you don't  have one - free 2day shipping) and have it delivered on the day you arrive. 

I saw the Be Lite ones before and had gotten a quote from them - they seem really nice but are around $2k with tax and shipping for my size tub.
