Anybody moving from East to West Coast?

[phoenixstar]

Here is the deal. I am moving from Buffalo, NY to Fresno, CA in about 2 weeks. The only car I have is a Beetle, which is just a bit too small to move my larger items. Just got off the phone with U-Haul, and the only thing they can offer is a 14-foot truck, which is rediculous overkill for what I have to move. Curious if anybody else is moving soon from the East Coast to the West Coast, and if I could sub-let a bit of space on your move (so to speak). The only things I have to move are as follows:

Queen Bed
Dresser
Kitchen Table, 4 chairs
Coffee Table
End Table (2)
Baker's Rack

Combined, it is really quite small, but obviously too big to fit in my Beetle. I know it is a long shot, but if anybody can help a long-time member out, it would be much appreciated. Thanks...

Put the furniture AND the car in the 14' truck

lol that would work.

I am moving from near NYC out to pasadena but I'm heading to college and flying out so I'm not bringing any furniture or anything, just packing everything and shipping my comp out after. Would help you out if I was driving or something.

I'm not moving but I could offer some suggestions to you:

1. if no sentimental value on the stuff, sell it in NY and buy new when you get out there (either brand new from store or from Goodwill, etc)

2. ship it freight.

3. is a small trailer an option? that stuff should not weight too much that you couldn't haul it on a small flat bed trailer or rental trailer. I'm not sure what the towing capacity of a Beetle is but that stuff could be hauled by my little Outback Sport.

Yes. In June. From MA to Los Angeles. But I sold everything I owned and came out with 2 suitcases and $900. Good luck to you!

Peace,
