Moving Stuffs?

**sandragonfly** · 02-04-2006, 06:45 PM

some of you know the ark & I moved 3,100 miles away in my tiny car that I couldn't carry some small big stuffs.

do you know any good, reasonable price, trustworthy company I could have it ship them over here? do I ask for one in west, california or here, in east? also would like any advices/tips from previous experiences. if any, which ones you recommand I shouldn't use? (my stuffs aren't more than 150lbs I think).

for one, I couldn't sell my (40+ lbs) nighttable someone (who is no longer in existence) made for me.

One of the national places probley the best.

Wish I could help, but I do have an idea.

When you find a good mover, see if there is a PT member who would be willing to supervise the Move & put a lock on the truck that you already have the key to

I'd just email the national chains. Is the stuff all prepared to ship wherever it is in CA, and at the home of someone you know?

You need to know approximate dimensions and weights to get a good quote.

I would say with your small load (150lbs) they would tack on to someone elses truck load that would be coming your way. Moving companies with their hugh trucks can move several households in 1 truck. I'm betting it would cost a small fortune to move a small load across the country on it's own. They are very particular about measurements of boxes and weight.

national ones are like? ryder? err, I know nothing else! - some said wouldn't do one way.

karen, yeah. he's waiting for me!

craftlady, maybe I should send over an elephant too! I miss my two at ZOO.

best way how I google?

by the way, is there other way than moving trucks? since my stuffs aren't that much - legal to 'mail' out a quite over pounds? I expect it could cost $100-200 each!

what else would you do if moving truck really isn't an option?

**Craftlady** · 02-04-2006, 10:28 PM

Ryder is "do it yourself" moving.
Companies like MayFlower are national movers.

I agree with Catnapper. UPS is the best choice. I did some checking and getting quotes and UPS would be about $60.00, mail about $127.00 and POD $1,200.00 - $1,400.00, that is absolutely ridiculous!!

I would definately go with UPS, I use them at work all the time, probably about 95% of the time and I like being able to track the progress and usually are the most reasonable as far as cost goes.

geesh, absolutely ridiculous!

..maybe because it's new?

well, looks like I'll stick to UPS for now and still search for some more. I thought only of 'moving' because my stuffs need to be moved!

thanks guys!! great help.
