What Is The Best Way To Transport Thai Papaya To California

What is the best way to transport Thai Papaya to California?

What is the cheapest way to move from New York to California?

I'd advise selling or donating the furniture and anything else that has less value than its shipping cost. Storage is a money-loser, and you will end up paying more in fees than the value of your stuff. Better to unload the stuff for whatever you can get in cash or tax deductions.Ship whatever clothing or small items that don't fit into the Prius via UPS.As an alternative, when our daughter moved from Charleston to Seattle, she stuffed everything in her car and then shipped the car on a car carrier truck. She flew.  Sounds expensive, but when you deduct the hotels, food and gasoline money you'll spend in 5-6 days on the road, the one-way airline ticket is cheaper.  The company that shipped her car picked it up at her house and drove it to her in Seattle.

What is a cost-efficient way to move from southern California to northern California (without furniture)?

Renting a U-Haul truck or trailer is probably the cheapest way to go. However, if you’re not experienced in hauling a trailer or you need to bring a car too, then it might not be a good choice.Although USPS has a book rate, I don’t find their prices very congenial over all. UPS and FexEx cost about $1.00 a pound and have size limits for furniture and such.I’d recommend looking into shipping companies. I shipped a desk, some trunks, and assorted dishes and glassware from Santa Fe, NM to the San Francisco area. The shippers based their cost on the total volume of the contents rather than the weight. This can make a big difference, especially for heavy items like books. I think the cost was less than $1,000 and that included having them pack all the fragile items for me.The total volume can be less than you might think because you can, for instance, stack boxes on top of sofas or under the legs of desks.In addition to a lower total cost (perhaps—you have to get quotes), there’s something to be said for having all your stuff delivered at the same time in just one shipment.The company I used was called Pak Mail (Packing & Shipping Stores | Pak Mail | Mailbox & Crating Services), but Googling “Shipping Companies Southern California” revealed a lot of choices.P.S. Not one piece of the many dishes, vases and glasses I shipped was damaged.

What would be the quickest and cheapest way to move furniture from Texas to California?

You will not easily find both the quickest and the cheapest mover all in one for a long distance move. Some local movers offer long distance moving service which is an expedited service, by far you quickest option. This however comes with a price since only your items are being placed on the truck and the same drivers handle the load from start to finish.A cheaper but far slower option would be to hire a van line to transport your belongings. These companies will load up one large truck with several customers' belongings and will make various stops along the way which slows the process down considerably. Where an expedited service may only take a few days to arrive, a van line will take a week to a month or more.So it's certainly a trade-off, however keep in mind other factors such as the likely hood of damages to occur when your belongings are loaded on and off trucks while in the hands of a van line. Your chance of breakage is far lower when you work with an expedited service which does not offload and reload your belongings between point A and point B.
