We will move to the Puna area in October. Initially we thought about just liquidating everything we have on this end and starting from scratch. I then looked at pricing versus replacing items and shipping. I know a lot of items we have now, we will not take, because they will not be best suited for the area.
I have gotten quotes from moving companies. Two were compatible in pricing and other features. I just did a search on reviews via the internet and BBB.org. I don't know if I'm allowed to mention the moving companies by name on this forum or not. I can just say that I am now not feeling so confident on the partial load of things we wanted to bring.
I'm right back in the same boat now not knowing what we should do (start over or ship some items). As far as items to ship, we have mattresses, TV, computers, tools, outdoor furniture set, and some sentimental items too large to ship via USPS. We're not too thrilled about purchasing second hand mattresses. Replacing those alone makes up the price quoted for shipping cost.
I would appreciate some feedback from the group regarding their own experiences regarding starting over versus shipping items. Like I said, after looking at the BBB.org, one company had "F" rating, and the other has had 32 complaints in the past 3 years; most recent complaint 8/15/14.
Thanks all
Best wishes
