I shipped 6 boxes FedEx ground. I also paid extra to take 2 boxes on the plane.<br /> It probably cost me about $35-40 per box? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-shipping-things-ahead#post-847535 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:31:44 +0000 MediaNaranja 847535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! Just checked it out. Could possibly work.</p> <p>Shamelessly bumping for other suggestions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-shipping-things-ahead#post-847458 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:07:28 +0000 LovelyPlum 847458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did this, sort of. We used ABF Relo-Cube (<a href="http://www.upack.com/moving-services/moving-container.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.upack.com/moving-services/moving-container.asp</a>) when we moved cross-country. We packed what we needed into the cube, then they picked it up and moved it for us. We also had them store it for a month before we got there. It was really easy, and I would highly recommend! The cubes were sturdier than PODS, too. But if it's only a few boxes, this may not be super cost-effective for you.</p> <p>(@MrBee-is it OK to link to something like this? Sorry if it's not!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-shipping-things-ahead#post-847431 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 10:56:51 +0000 MediaNaranja 847431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you ever shipped things ahead of time before a move? What company did you use? How many boxes of what size? What was the approximate cost? </p> <p>We are moving cross-country in the next couple of weeks. We're not taking any furniture since the place we are going is furnished. But I don't think that our remaining stuff will all fit in the car. I'd love to ship ahead things we wont immediately need, like winter coats, shoes, etc. </p> <p>It would probably be 3-4 boxes. Is there an economical way to do this or am I just totally clueless? </p>
