Packing boxes to move. But I'm thinking there is another way besides boxes. Is there?

Question

Hi guys! I am moving from Puerto Rico to Utah. I have alot of stuff to pack and ship. I got many boxes from furniture stores and grocery stores, and I will have about 20 boxes total to ship. Each box will be 108in in total dimensions and 70lb, which will cost me $53 for each box or $1,060 for 20 boxes. The post office told me that's the best way. Is there any other way I can move my belongings in a cheaper way? Maybe I'm the only fool out there who is going to ship her stuff like this? Maybe there is a better and easier and less expensive way? Please help me, folks! Thank you.

Answer 1

Have you looked at a moving company or ups/fedex? You might want to weigh all your options before putting your life in the hands of the postal service. Insurance comes standard with those services but with the post office, you have to pay extra. AND depending on how you ship it with them, it may not be trackable.

The rednecks in missouri use the big black trash  bags, thats cheap.
