I hope this utility cart works well. I ordered it from Amazon and it arrived in 2 days, although, I had to go pick it up at the Post Office. They attempted to deliver the first time, but the box would not fit in the receptical. I was home, but they did not attempt to deliver to my door. When I saw they had a problem with delivery, I went to the mailbox and saw the notice regarding why the delivery problem. It was about 20 minutes before five o’clock so I rushed down to the Post Office. I made it inside the door before they closed. The box had been brought back, so I managed to get the cart on the delivery day.

I wanted to get the cart, especially that first day because I was planning on driving down to Hubert the next day to deliver a bunch of cookbooks that I was planning to give to Jacqueline.

All the books that I wanted to give to Jacqueline fit in the cart. They were heavy, and might have been close to the 150 lbs. capacity of the utility cart… maybe not, but they were heavy. There ended up being about 41 books and a DVD Case with a digital cook book. Hauling the books out to my car worked great! One trip instead of six or eight trips. The books fit in about 4 rows across the back seat of the Camry.

Tuesday afternoon was very hot. Mary Ann and I had gone out to Watkins Flooring, then to Logans Roadhouse for lunch, and then to Target, where I lost her after the first few items that we placed in my cart. It didn’t dawn on me to call her until much later, and I had waited patiently near the front at the Starbucks section.

We got back home and I think it was after 6 pm, maybe just after 5 pm, and I said I needed to get the books out of the back of my car. I had hoped that Jacqueline or Ray might come over to Mary Ann’s house, so they could help with the migration, but when I mentioned this to Mary Ann, she was pretty sure we couldn’t rely on that happening, as she didn’t know when they might come home. I started moving the books from the Camry and to the front/side porch. I made four stacks of books and counted them (I think there were 41, or close to.). Mary Ann brought a Rollator to the door (Jim said he had taken the utility cart out to the garage, at her request, which she denied.) and I stacked 6 to 8 books at a time and she would roll them inside and put them somewhere.

The only problem with my utility cart so far is that when I went to fold it back up, the pull tab came loose in my hand. I saw that it was a black Velcro strip that had come undone, and I did not try and fix this problem, because it was in the morning as I was beginning to start my trip down to Hubert. I was able to fold the cart up, without this pull tab and it fit behind my driver’s seat in the Camry. Or, I might put it in the trunk.

This cart cost about $97 including tax. The wheels are large, but not wide. They roll easily on the floor, sidewalk, or asphalt pavement. I think they might have a problem rolling through soft sand, but I don’t intend using the cart in that environment.

NOTE: I came across this photo from June 22, 2012. My white 2011 Honda Civic (got it in January 2011) is in the picture, but note the size of the trees at the entrance to the walkway. I have two pictures above that show the current size of the trees. Ten years, amazing!

I just noticed something really interesting. Look at the photo from 2012 and the 2022 photo from the same perspective. Look at the sidewalk difference. Apparently, the tree roots have pushed the concrete up severely.

NOTE [05/28/2020]: And, “Yes, the cart is a useful tool, that I should have bought years ago.” Especially now, for the way I shop. I may visit three or four grocery stores (Walmart, IGA, Publix, Sprouts, Harris Teeter, Food Lion) and end up with a myriad of plastic bags full of various items. And, if I purchase milk, or sodas, or orange juice, and several cans of somethings, then carrying the many plastic bags becomes cumbersome, quickly. So, yes, this was a good purchase.
