Okay, so after a long hunting apt trip I finally found the perfect one. And now is moving. My moving size is studio. I have a Twin XL mattress and a bookshelf that I'm planning to move with me, and of course other boxes with all my stuff. My question is what is the best way to move for me as young female without driving license? I'm thinking about Pods/U-pack these moving cubes. But then loading/unloading will be a BIG issue for me since I won't be able to do it by myself. Any recommendation will be appreciated!!!!
You can do Pods and once it's delivered, coordinate having movers just come and unload your items. Look on Yelp to see who will be near your new residence and e-mail a couple places to see if they can help out. Most places will do a job like that, and it's not too expensive either.
Be sure you can have the Pod left at your load and unload location and check the cost carefully it may be cheaper to buy a new bed and bookcase and just ground ship a few boxes.
Thank you guys. I don't know if 10+ boxes can be counted as "few" boxes What will be the most economics way to move? Ship or pods? Last time when I moved I shipped all my belongings via FedEx. Also I don't know if I should keep the mattress with me. It cost me $500 and is less than two years old. Is it worth to move it with me or should I just donate it and spend the other hundred bucks to get a new one?
How far are you moving. Can't you find some friends that could move you? It sounds like you don't have much. In the furniture section of Craig's List they usually have movers that do small moves for people that are buying something there. I am sure you could someone and it shouldn't be that much money.
Put the bed on Craigslist (or something similar) and sell it before you move. It does not sound like it would be economical to pay to bring it with you. Whittle all of your belongings down to the bare minimums. How are you getting to your new home? The answer to that may make a difference as to how you transport your personal belongings.

No, I can't. My friends are all out of town. I'm moving from WA to CO.

I'm going to fly to there so I won't be able to bring to many belongings with me and I have to either ship them or do the pods.

I would find out how much it would cost to ship your bed and then you can decide if it is worth it or not. I guess you could ship your other belongings. Pods are expensive and I don't think it would be cheaper. Didn't realize that you were moving far away. I assumed a few hour drive.
