Concerned about lost or delayed items, McNulty attached an Apple AirTag to one of the boxes prior to the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou hear so many horror stories when it comes to PCSing,\u201d she told Military Times. \u201cWith those stories in mind, and having read about people putting AirTags with some of their HHG, I decided it would be worth testing the theory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She attached the device \u2014 a small Bluetooth tracker you can locate from another Apple device like an iPhone, iPad or a MacBook \u2014 to a box of her son\u2019s toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the couple\u2019s fourth PCS, two full do it yourself (DITY) moves and two partial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur prior partial PCS, we were very fortunate,\u201d McNulty said. \u201cAll of our items were delivered when they were supposed to be and very few household goods were broken. This PCS was a very different story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After surpassing the expected delivery date on Jan. 7, McNulty reached out to the move coordinator, Suddath, and learned that the HHG was to be delivered the next day. When she turned on the AirTag, she was able to confirm that her family\u2019s belongings were a mere four hours away in Elizabeth, New Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, McNulty said was surprised a short time later when she received a call from the driver who told her he had just picked up the HHG in Colorado and a next-day delivery was impossible. When she confronted the unnamed driver about being just a few hours away, he hung up on her, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI made him aware that I knew he was only four hours away from us,\u201d she noted. \u201cHe called back several minutes later trying to bargain with me to see if he could deliver it on Sunday or Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afterwards, McNulty attempted to raise alarms with Suddath, but the company was reportedly unaware of the driver\u2019s location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt this point, I had more information than they did all because of my AirTag,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The driver called back, she said, and claimed he was at his girlfriend\u2019s house. He told McNulty, \u201cI didn\u2019t know you could track me, I\u2019m going to go see my lady. I can still have your HHG to you by tomorrow, but I will have to hustle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She suggested he do that, and continued tracking his whereabouts until their household goods arrived. McNulty shared her experience to Facebook, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo?fbid=10220527573955523&#038;set=a.1859359799909\" target=\"_blank\">post went viral, amassing more than 4,200 shares.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou read so many stories about lost or missing HHG and this is part of the problem,\u201d McNulty said. \u201cInstead of waiting for someone to change something I took matters into my own hands. I hope the word spreads, I hope other military families hear our story and they, too, add AirTags to their HHG.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Army spouse shared her
