Movers generally require 500 pounds as a minimum order. For moves less than thay you might want to consider using a package service such as UPS or FedEx. By packing your items securely you can have these package services deliver your contents to your new location. Door-to-door service is available, ground service is the cheapest. Most carriers will deliver anywhere in the country in less than a weeks time. Your boxes must be very well packed as they will get bounced around.

Both UPS and FedEx will pick-up at a home or apartment. UPS will take a check or credit card payment. FedEx just a credit card. Home pick-ups are not by appointment, so you might end up waiting for the truck a while. You can also save time (and a little money) by dropping the boxes off at a customer counter. UPS has one at each of their terminals while FedEx has them at many more locations. Retail locations such as Mailboxes, etc. and Staples also accept packages for package services but they do add a surcharge for their troubles.
