How much does it cost to move out of state?
lets say for an apt full of furniture, on average, how much do you think it would cost for movers?
I know this is pretty vague  just trying to get a ball park.

Re: How much does it cost to move out of state?
For us, it was $1700. That's pretty average. We HATE the company we used though. HATE THEM! 
But most of the rates we got were in the $1300-2400 range.

Re: How much does it cost to move out of state?
Yeah, I had about 1000sq ft apt. It was pretty "big" I guess. Although EVERYTHING fit into my 600+ sq ft garage with no problems! They did pack a lot of my things...and broke most of them. 
Moving SUCKS!! 
DH said next time we're doing it ourselves...renting a U-Haul, packing, etc. My sister went this route (of course she had a lot of help) and moved (locally) a 5 bedroom, 3 bath house in one day!

Re: How much does it cost to move out of state?
we're definitely not doing it ourselves. we might have some help on the NY end. but not where we're going 
My friend also had problems with her movers. a lot of their stuff was broken and she got squat from the insurance! movers just stink!

Re: How much does it cost to move out of state?
Movers as a whole do stink. But there have to be good ones out there. Just not mine!
The same weekend we got ours they delivered to other people and it resulted in 2 BBB complaints (we were one of them). They suck!
Anyway, Susan had recommendations for me...and I would def start that search now. Although the fall is a slow time (school's in session).
Can I say it again? Sooo excited!  
And I'm not that far...if you need help settling in. I mean it! 
Yes, in my mind you moved already!

 WOW! I imagine that a move that far would have cost you several times that amount!!
good for you for being able to DIY!

Re: How much does it cost to move out of state?
When I moved from LI to NJ in 1999, it cost me the price of a U-Haul Truck and a pizza and beer for my brother and his friend that moved me. Total probably cost me about $200
Just as a side note, when DH was ready to sell his condo this past February, we hired movers because he just had waaaaaaaaaaay too much stuff (think of Sanford and Son  ) The move was only 35 miles and cost us $1200!

We moved 6+ years ago from NY to GA by ourselves. We rented a Uhaul, it cost $1800 with gas at the time.
Where are going to move?

I don't know why it cost so much for the UHaul, but in our favor the company DH works for paid for his expenses. so we actually paid out of pocket $0.

if you can get me the name, that would be great
just based on the fact that nothing was broken makes them good.

Re: How much does it cost to move out of state?
what about those PODS things? I see them everywhere. that may be an economical way to go and you can pack & unpack at your own pace.

that won't work... we don't have anyone on the other end to help. we have some VERY heavy items. when we got our new couch last month, my DH had to help the 2 delivery guys b/c is it so heavy. and that's just one thing.

Re: How much does it cost to move out of state?
DH and I just moved ourselves to CT. IT cost us about 300-500 dollars-we rented a u-haul truck and had his parents to help us... that was hard! We were thinking if we had to move again, we would hire people b/c of all the stuff we have!

ughhh...kind of last minute notice. We were only suppose to rent a trailer and use BIL's truck, he backed out and we only had a week to shop around.
Truck rentals are expensive since hardly anyone moves to NY. We rented a truck FL to NY once and it was 400.00. For one way rentals, if you drive it from NY, the trucks have a hard time finding their way back up to NY.

Re: How much does it cost to move out of state?
Their is also a website that I go off another board that you can hire someone in the state you are moving to, to help you unpack.
