Movers generally require 500 pounds as a
minimum order. For moves less than they you
might want to consider using a package
service such as UPS or FedEx. By packing
your items securely you can have these
package services deliver your contents to
your new location. Door-to-door service is
available, ground service is the cheapest.
Most carriers will deliver anywhere in the
country in less than a weeks time. Your
boxes must be very well packed as they will
get bounced around.
Both UPS and FedEx will pick-up at a home or
apartment. UPS will take a check or credit
card payment. FedEx just a credit card. Home
pick-ups are not by appointment, so you
might end up waiting for the truck a while.
You can also save time (and a little money)
by dropping the boxes off at a customer
counter. UPS has one at each of their
terminals while FedEx has them at many more
locations. Retail locations such as
Mailboxes, etc. and Staples also accept
packages for package services but they do
add a surcharge for their troubles.
