During PCS what happens if your House Hold Goods are scheduled for pick-up but you leave prior to them getting there?

My pick up date hasn’t been set yet and I’m supposed to be out my place by the 30th and the moving company is apparently backed up to the 2nd of July and may not be able to help me out.
I take leave on the 12th with only 28 days and I have to be at my station on July 9th. My idea is to just sell/throw away the stuff I can’t take if they schedule me past the 30th. I was just curious what happens if they show up and I’m not there? If I’m not able to cancel.
Appreciate any helpful info.

The same thing happened to me. I had to request an amendment to my orders to push my report date out a couple of weeks.
HHG is contracted through the transportation office, and the army pays big money for their services. You need to be there when they inventory and pack out in case of any liability issues. Otherwise, you might be able to do a power of attorney to allow someone else to be there on your behalf. You'll need to talk to legal to make it happen, and coordinate with the PPO/Transportation office.

Is your housing on post? You still have to clear housing before you can leave. It's probably smartest to just cut your leave short and leave after the 2nd.

PVT(P) Aaron M. M. Bryant I moved my stuff into a storage facility and have the moving company pick up there. I was unable to be there but my father-in-law was able to be there for the moving company as well. Do you have anyone available that could be there if you are not? I wish I had more input to give to you. I hope that helps at least a little.
