What is the cheapest way to move household goods across the country?

Question

I am moving around 1500 miles and am in a quandary.  Do I want to pay $2000+ (U-haul + loading services + storage + car dolly + gas) to move $3000 worth of old crap?  I'm about to just sell/dump it unless I can find a cheaper way to move it.  Since I don't currently own a pickup truck, a towed trailer is pretty much out of the question.  Is there a better way to move stuff?

Using a small container can cost less than driving a UHaul.  I have used this UPack service several times, though we got semi-trailers, not the cube.  And, when you arrive you don't have to unload right away.  They will deliver the container when you are ready or store it for you.

Driving a UHaul truck is an experience you don't want to have.
