I recently moved from one house to another and tried something that I had never heard of before! PODS. The fee was about $350 for a month. I had them deliver it to my driveway about two weeks before the move. Then I had two weeks to move all my boxes into the pod instead of having them on the floor all over my house. Then, the day before my move I hired three "casual" laborers at $10 per hour each and supervised them taking the furniture apart and placing it into the pod. Cost me $250 for the day. The pod company came on moving day, picked up the pod and moved it to the driveway of the new house. I then hired more casual labor - 2 men who had the heavy furniture moved in in a couple of hours. $60. Some family came over and helped unload the boxes which wasn't bad because I had another 2 weeks to empty the pod and I could unpack each box as I unloaded it. It sure saved a lot of boxes sitting everywhere.
Total cost was about $700. But this would only work if you're moving from a house to a house.
