Moving from east coast to south. I currently live in 1bhk with essential furniture like beds,TV and couch. I feel U haul 20ft truck will be necessary for the move. Considering other options if any available like "Two men and truck" and other companies where we have stuff packed and they ship the stuff to our destination to avoid the hassle/Risk of me driving the truck.

What will be prices if the decide to have my stuff shipped to destination and any good moving companies?

Check out PODS

https://www.pods.com/

The company will keep pod before your house for 3 days. You pack everything inside it and lock it. Then they transport the pod and bring it in front of your house in new city and will keep it for 3 days. You unload it and make it empty.

Sometimes this works out to be cheaper.

i agree . not worth the hassle. also might end up costing the same.

if you have other small stuff , you can parcel them using something like lugless.

Dude it's very expensive to move anything more than 7-8 hrs. Tokkalo sofa etc. are darn cheap in comparision... also you will get new stuff again.

20ft truck might be too big for 1bhk for standard furniture
