Depends how much you need an extra $500? I like to consider decisions like that as how much time its going to take you to dick around with it, at whatever amount you make per hour at work. Or, how lazy you’re feeling. I’d rather let someone else worry about it. ---

The horror stories about Mayflower are to be heeded. We used Mayflower to move from Florida to NY and it was a disaster. So much shit was broken and some was just plain gone. ---

Don’t cheap out. A good multi state move isn’t cheap. If you want to cut costs, make sure you pack everything yourself. Then they just come and haul it all away. How much stuff do you have? ---
