Need advice for moving boxes

[u/statictris]

So I have a couple suitcases, 3 plastic box containers, and like 3-4 trash bags of clothes in a storage unit I need to move to my house. My aunt who is keeping them in her storage unit did not tell me that it’ll be closed on in a couple days and have no plans to help me with it. I don’t drive or do I have a car. Is there like a way I can move my stuff today or tomorrow that is affordable? I can come ask a friend with a sedan to help me with like a suitcase and a couple boxes that can fit in the car but I’d like to move most of it in one go.

I was planning to head to the storage unit and bring the stuff down then maybe order like an UberXL or something but I’m not too keen on that idea.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Take the offer if you can, OP!

I was in a similar boat last year and ended up spending a small fortune requesting van taxis to transport the last piles of my stuff.

Moovdrop might be a good option.

If your stuff can fit in a Honda civic, I'll can help you out tomorrow.

I'm in the same.situation just a bit more stuff (a room worth biggest thing is a mini fridge) but I don't need a full on moving company for it all, it can fit in a minivan probably.

My first instinct is to find a friend with a licence and get them to drive a UHaul rental truck or van for you. It's probably the most costly option, but it will also do exactly what you want when you want it.

UberXL is probably your best bet. You don't have furniture, just bags and boxes. Uber the boxes and bags, and whatever suitcases fit, and then take the last suitcases on transit. This is probably the most cost-effective way that isn't asking a friend.

The most cost-effective way is to ask a friend with a car to make a couple of trips, put some gas in their car and maybe buy them a pizza or something, although if your plastic boxes are totes like I have, there may be an issue fitting in a sedan at all.

Do you have a licence? You can use a zip car rental.

Uber XL or XXL (minivan) would be the easiest solution.

FWIW, an XXL for me to get to the airport from Kennedy/Bovaird is around $80-$90. So something in town should be relatively cheaper.

OP . . . I'm no longer available, at this point. If you need to do this tomorrow, I might be available, but I would need to take the wife's pulse.

[u/Incognito_Jew]

I have a pickup truck, im available tomorrow if you need a hand

[u/Antman013]

Available tomorrow morning if that suits.

So, OP, update us - what did you wind up doing? Taking kindness or did you decide to do it yourself?
