So, me and the wife know that we want to move out west. We've embarked on a large move, once before. It was stressing; a car loaded to the max, travelling with pets and all of our stuff, Ushipped for 3.5K(it wound up being about a grand pricier than previously quoted to us). We had certainly over-exceeded what we had budgeted for, eventually putting us into nearly 15K of charged debt, by time we found jobs.
Nothing went right. This time around, 7 years later, we wish to make a similar move, but would love a way/ means of shipping things out that way, little, by little and over a few month's period. Trouble is, if we manually hauled everything out there, monthly or even bi-monthly, it would defeat the cost of savings. Renting out a Uhaul and driving 2800 miles is pricey… Especially through hills and mountains.
That said, is there a way to have a few totes/ boxes/ furniture pieces shipped and sent to a storage? Until we find/ locate that ideal home/ apartment? Similarly, we don't want to end up in a situation where, we're paying rent/ mortgage on two properties, while we transition things in because then, we're right back to making it happen, quick and/ or all at once. Just start by sending a few non-essential pieces and then sent the essential stuff, closer to move.
