PODS were closer to $3K but you pack and unpack. Storage of the POD was $300+/month. We were surprised at the cost of United bid considering we aren't bringing much furniture. Bottom line is for your friends to figure out how much they want to bring and get their bids. Distance, weight and number of items make a difference.
Anther difference is packing and unpacking. One or last move we saved five grand by doing these two tasks ourselves.
