Hey Moving Diaries,

So, I’m making the big move from the Big Apple to the Mile High City and need some advice on how to get my stuff there. I’m not lugging any heavy furniture along, just about eight decent-sized boxes and a couple of big pictures. What’s the best bang for my buck when it comes to moving all this? Any good LTL shipping companies you’d recommend? Appreciate the help!

Farewell from The Big Apple Explorer, Happy Moving!

Response from THE MOVING DIARIES:

Hello there,

Congratulations on your upcoming move from NYC to Denver! When it comes to moving your belongings, given that you won’t be bringing any large furniture but will have several medium to large boxes and larger canvases/pictures, a cost-effective option you may want to consider is utilizing a reliable LTL (less than truckload) shipping service.

There are several reputable LTL shipping companies that specialize in moving smaller loads like yours and can be a more economical choice compared to traditional moving companies. Some well-known LTL shipping providers you can look into include UPS Freight, FedEx Freight, and XPO Logistics. It’s a good idea to get quotes from a few different companies to compare prices and services offered.

In terms of preparing your items for shipment, make sure to pack your boxes securely with appropriate padding to protect fragile items like canvases and pictures. Labeling each box clearly will also help ensure everything arrives safely at your new destination.

Overall, using an LTL shipping service for your move can be a practical and efficient way to transport your belongings without the need for a full-scale moving company. Best of luck with your move to Denver!

Warm regards,
THE MOVING DIARIES
