What's the least expensive way to move boxes from Richmond, VA to South Florida?

When I moved to Florida last year, I left about 20 boxes in my parent's garage in Richmond, Virginia. I'm trying to determine the least expensive way to move the boxes to Florida.

Boxes have linen, books, old financial statements (e.g., credit card), clothes, dishes, etc.

Trying to decide if I should.....

1) Rent a truck

2) Hire a moving company

3) Ship via UPS

4) Ship via USPS

5) Ship Fedex Ground

6) Drive 4x4 w/ trailer attached, get boxes, drive back.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions :---)

    Calling the places and doing some figuring would help you there.

    UPS and Fedex will cost a lot. A whole lot.

    If you rent a truck, it is best to hire one from the leading companies. Some of the other ones are not honest. They have been in the news. They get your things for one price and then demand more money.

    If you own a truck and trailer that would be good .

    A Uhaul charges by the miles and you buy the gas.

    Source(s): Years ago I used a bus. That would be something else to check on.

    Take your financial records and scan them into your computer. Then get rid of the documents by shredding this will get rid of some weight. After you thin down how many boxes you are going to take. Your best bet will be ups ground service. All the other ways cost more. USPS will be close in cost, but the post office does not offer free tracking. And if your package get lost good luck. FEDEX will cost a little more with their 3 day service. They have better service.

    you're failing to be conscious that it particularly is you who asking to alter issues around. A circulate is a substantial deal to a pair human beings. while you're dedicated to this individual, then you definately ought to stay positioned. Did you point out to him which you planned to head once you have been dating? Or did you wait till you have been engaged? you are able to not stir issues up and then ask your self why all isn't nicely. i do no longer advise to be impolite, besides the incontrovertible fact that it particularly is as in case you have desperate which you're shifting and you're able to be able to't understand why he's no longer in basic terms packing up his luggage. you are able to not throw a curve ball and sweetness why he ignored the ball. What if his mom and dad desperate good now to head to Montana? could you in basic terms %. up and circulate?
