I moved this past summer from Boston, MA to Portland, OR and we used a one of those drop a crate at your door and they'll pick it up later services www.doortodoor.com. They delivered a wooden crate wrapped in a waterproof tarp. The inside of the crate was square so no trying to shove things around a wheel well like you do on a uhaul. The crate was about the size of a parking spot so we had no problems with where to put the crate while we packed it. Big plus the service was about $1,000 less expensive then PODZ (podz crates are made of steel and are a bit bigger) and WAY less expensive then a cross country uhaul. Mind you we had a small apartment worth of stuff and no couches so though the size of the crate was great for us it may not be for you. The only downside was that there is no price quote online you fill out a form on the website and they call you. The first time we did it we never got a call so we filled it out again. The second time around went much smoother we got a call in a couple of days got price quotes they emailed a contract over we arranged times and dates and tadaa in a few weeks we had our stuff in our new apartment and nothing was damaged because we had packed everything ourselves.
