I'm moving this year from SC to Las Vegas, and this will be my first civilian move. Anyone have any moving companies that they have used in the past, that you would recommend?
My brother in law did this and it was relatively expensive but also painless. They had them hold it for 6 months though which drove up the cost a bit.Rent a pod. Load it yourself. Have them pick up and, ship it.
That's what I did. I went with U-Box (Pods-equivalent from U-Haul, I guess?) and hired movers in both cities to load/unload it. I really didn't deal with the box myself at all and I spent about $600 compared to the $3,000+ that the national moving companies wanted to charge me. I also didn't have any problems: the box even arrived ahead of schedule. Aside from a small tear to my mattress (which makes no difference once a sheet is on top anyway), nothing was damaged. Heck, with the money I saved, I could have replaced a few small things anyway. I'd just budget that into the cost of moving... but depending on the value of your stuff, a lot would have to break to make up the difference in cost.Also, customers used to do this all the time; rent a pod and hire a moving company to pack and load/unload it.
