if you only have boxes and not much furniture or oddly shaped things PODS or PACK RAT cubes are the least expensive option. You order it to be delivered when you want it , pack it up tightly using rope or ratchet straps to secure it and lock it up and arrange for them to pick it up. They will deliver it to you when you want it. You can hire local crews to help load and unload if you need to. No one will have access to the locked unit but you. This is less than half the cost of movers. We are combining a small cube with movers who will handle larger and heavier pieces of furniture etc but they charge by weight so we plan to stuff the cube with heavier boxes and things I want to pack securely myself.
