College student who needs advice on shipping.
To anyone who might care:
I'm an entering college student moving from Washington State to New York. I have lots of things that I want to get over there, but am not sure of the best way to get all my stuff shipped there. I can't drive or rent a u-haul, and everything else seem so expensive. Any suggestions or comments regarding this would be highly appreciated.

Aloha,
When I moved cross-country from Boston to Seattle after college, UPS ground was the cheapest shipper. I shipped for big, heavy boxes for about $100. Plan on about 1-2 weeks transit time. You'll be able to pick up a lot of stuff there on the cheap. Pack light. You'll move a lot, and have to keep schlepping it around.
Good luck with school! Jen

Jeremy,
I agree with Jennifer, use UPS ground. I used them a couple years back to ship all my belonging home after school. Try not to ship boxes that are too big, however, because if they exceed a certain size, it will cost more under their "dimensional weight" calculations. I'm sure their price and size schedule is on their website. Hope this helps.
