How big of a move? Are you open to using a shipping container vs full service move? We did a long distance move to Houston recently and went with the U-Box service through U-Haul and it went exceptionally smoothly, just requires some extra coordination to hire movers on either end. Our stuff made it safely to Houston in less than 5 days, I was impressed.

About 1k miles for a 1bd apt move and all in it was under $2k

Other similar services are PODS and U-Pack. A bit more expensive than U-Haul but the containers are more robust

Thabks for inputs. This will be a 1Bedroom apartment move. Not too much stuff.

Make sure they are reputable places with references. Make sure you stuff is arriving with you. Put out in your own storage unit. Make sure the quote compatible to other companies. Make sure they are registered with Tx dot. Number your boxes. Confirm, confirm, confirm. Horrible experience

Help me decide.
