INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The Levi’s website has a list of their official suppliers and outlet stores. This is the best way to ensure that your jeans are 100% authentic. If you buy your jeans from an unlicensed store, they may not be real Levi’s. Many fake Levi’s are sold via the internet. If you plan on buying your jeans online, do some research, and check reviews for online stores. This will be a good indication as to whether the online store is reliable. Watch out for stores that only show their good reviews, or have reviews that look automated. While many stores may have sales on, if you find a pair of ‘Authentic’ Levi’s jeans for a price that is just too good to be true, this may be cause for suspicion. It is a good idea to research the style you want first so you know roughly how much you will be paying. Of course the price may vary from store to store, however, they all should be in the same range. If buying your jeans second hand, online or at a garage sale, market etc, ask for the original receipt. While a lot of people won’t still have it, this can be a good way to ensure the jeans are from a licensed dealer and an authentic pair.

SUMMARY: Check Levi’s website for stores near you. Research online sellers online to check that they are a legitimate supplier. Beware of a deal too good to be true. Get the original receipt when you buy second hand.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Have 2 or 3 people help you lift the wrapped piano on the piano board onto the dolly. The flat shelf of the dolly will be about 3 inches (7.6 cm) high, so you’ll need to lift the body of the piano at least that high. Make sure to center the piano on the dolly so that it won’t tilt off on one side or the other.  A sturdy 4-wheeled dolly will be able to hold the weight of a large, heavy piano as it’s wheeled from stage to moving truck. Do not attempt to move a grand piano with a 2-wheeled dolly. You could offer your friends pizza and beer after the move is completed to entice them to help you. Move slowly, and have 2 or 3 people help you roll the piano on the dolly. Keep the piano balanced and upright as you wheel it across sidewalks and the asphalt surface of the parking lot to the waiting moving truck.  If you need to move the piano down stairs, you could lay a piece of plywood on the stairs for the dolly to roll down. Remember to put safety first, and keep the piano from tipping over or rolling on someone’s foot. Wheel the piano and dolly up the loading ramp into the moving truck, and then lift the piano off of the dolly. (Or, if the dolly has wheel locks, keep the piano on the dolly and lock the wheels) Keep the piano in its vertical position. Then, use 3 or 4 buckle straps to secure the piano firmly to the wall of the moving truck.  You’ll need to set the wrapped legs and lyre in the moving truck too, but these can be placed just about anywhere. You could even set them on the passenger seat in the cab with you. It’s best to rent a moving truck when moving a piano. Even if the piano would fit in a large pickup truck bed, you won’t be able to strap the piano vertically to the side of the truck. If you don’t have time to properly disassemble, pack, and move the piano, you can contact a piano-moving company and have them do it for you. These companies are highly specialized and move only pianos, so they’re skilled at what they do. Look for a piano-moving company on the Piano Movers Network directory: https://www.pianomoversnetwork.com.  Piano moving companies will also have insurance in case they damage your piano. This means that, should the piano accidentally be dropped, the company will pay for the damage. It won’t come out of your pocket. A local move will likely cost between $150 and $600 USD, depending on the size of the piano and the complexity of the move. A long-distance move will average between $700 and $2,000 USD, depending on the distance moved.

SUMMARY:
Set the wrapped body of the piano on a sturdy dolly. Roll the piano to a moving truck. Strap the piano firmly in place. Hire a piano moving company.
