BTW, I completed my move about a year ago.

I moved all my stuff to a storage unit pretty close to my in-laws. After that, we spent a few months without a lot of our stuff and I brought it over in a van last summer.

I used pool noodles and blankets to pad everything, and importantly, I also did all the packing, driving, and unloading.

My stuff all arrived safely.

The nice thing about moving it into storage a few states away is that by the time I was able to get it, I’d figured out what I could live without. This brought our moving load down from a packed 6x12 trailer to a comfortably loaded Ford Transit. I think everyone needs to have a purge periodically.
