What is the cheapest way to move across country?

Question

We are planning a move from the east coast to the west. what is the cheapest way to move? we have a few items not like a whole house or anything just a bed, a few tables, sofa, and a few boxes.

Answer 1

With a bit of luck, and a prayer...

U-Haul.

Otherwise, hire a professional - and insured - company (contact the BBB in your area) to transport your stuff. (From personal experience, Allied Transport tends to be quite reliable.)

Look on the bright side. Moving expenses are tax deductable.

Good Luck

Answer 2

u haul

Answer 3

hitch hike and freeload.

Answer 4

teleport

Answer 5

If the few boxes fit in your car, the cheapest way would be to sell your furniture and buy new when you get to your new home. You're probably talking at least a couple thousand dollars to rent a UHaul plus extra gas used to haul it.  

Answer 6

probably car

Answer 7

rent a bus and travel all around the country because if you travel with bus you will not pay for hotel or anything else and you will really enjoy  going by private bus.

Answer 8

a bike lol

Answer 9

oh well u haul

Answer 10

U-Haul -- you guys can even sleep in it if there's a bed and save on motel fees. And have a memory for the ages =)

Answer 11

you may be better off selling them and buying new when you get there

Answer 12

I moved the opposite way. From the west coast to the east coast. It depends on how many people are moving. We drove from California to maryland. and had a moving truck move our other belongings.
