clear across the country, and it was more reasonable than other methods we researched.

When we checked into a freight company, they wanted a minimum of $500 for household goods.

I have driven 2500 miles four times in a UHaul truck, but I remember paying $1500 for just the 14 foot truck. Records were in all those moves including 20 boxes last time.

I just media mailed the equivalent of two UHaul small boxes(12.5 X 12.5 X 16) from Alaska to Washington State for $94. I used 7 smaller and stronger boxes to accomplish this. Good luck.
