Moving Company Search

Since securing an apartment in Durham, we have spent our preparation time reducing the "stuff" in our house. We had one successful Saturday, where we took a truck load of stuff to the DI. We don't want to take anything to NC that we don't really need.

It was quite a chore to decide how to move everything come August. We first looked into a U-haul, which ended up being pretty spendy. We then started looking in to self move companies. These companies will drop either a trailer or "pod" at your house. You load it at your convenience. They come and pick it up, transfer to your new location, and you unload it. We found a great deal on one of these companies and reserved a trailer. It will cost us around $1700.

From here we will continue to pack up the stuff that we aren't taking with us, but want to keep. Ashley would like to get as much done as she can before the baby comes. That gives us at least a few weeks.

So, for those of you who have moved before, do you have any advice for us?
