They deliver a container to you (various sizes are available), you fill it up, they pick it up, store it and deliver it to you at your new location. I LOVED that I could walk into it at street level-no ramp, no steps! The price was good, too. Not as cheap as DIY, probably, but less than a moving company. Definitely worth checking out.</p>NYM commented on 'How to Save Money on Moving'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e20120a5d6ea77970c2009-09-18T16:21:52Z2009-09-18T16:21:52ZNYMhttp://www.allpointsallied.com/The best thing to do is make sure you are hiring a reputable and trusted mover.

Don't phrase it as an "advance", just phrase it as part of the total compensation package. A lot of employers expect such things and budget for them.</p>
<p>And, of course, friends and family can often spare some cash to help ease the transition. A few years back, my brother was trying to move his family across the country (reversing a rather foolish move they'd made before) but couldn't get together the cash to do it. I gave him a decently sized Christmas check explicitly marked "for moving expenses", and they moved shortly thereafter. As a grad student, I didn't have a lot of extra income, but getting my brother into a better situation was worth what I did have.</p>Stephanie commented on 'How to Save Money on Moving'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e20120a5cbd60b970c2009-09-16T17:56:23Z2009-09-16T17:56:23ZStephaniehttp://nomoredebts.org/put-plan-into-action.htmlinteresting point with the credit card thing.
