Bastards did the exact same thing to me when I helped my brother move in Florida - Tampa area. Ended up doing the pod thing. It was much better. Rent a big box, they drop it in your driveway. Take your time loading it up, a few days if you like. Call them when you are ready and they drop it in your new driveway. Take your time unloading, call them when you are done. Great service." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks so much for the suggestion of the Pod. I looked into it and it's a much better way for me to go to avoid the hassle of driving a big truck and pulling my car behind. I was concerned that the Pod would be outrageous price, but it is really reasonable. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 798 #31 September 28, 2006 I was impressed with that one too! Let us know how it works! looks like I'm moving BACK to Orlando so I may actually need their services too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Door to Door Pod service turned out to be the best deal. Check them out. 888-505-3667 They're dropping the box off next weekend, giving me a few days to load it up, then I call for them to pick it up and drop it off at my new location for me to unload for a few days, then pick it back up. They even guaranteed that they will arrive with 3 hour window of my arrival. This option is such a relief to take the hassle-factor out of the move. Now I just need to focus on the basics that I take in my own car and get on the road That's great that you're heading back to Orlando...really good news _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
