Default TV Relocation
I am surprised in all of this that none of you mention TV relocation services. It basically works that they recommend realtors for you to use where you are selling plus a TV sales rep. Both ends rebate part of their commission and you get a 65% discount on your move.

We moved from Conn (about 5 total rooms) and had our stuff in storage for 3 months until our home was ready. We took some things with us to our condo in SC where we have been living while the new TV home was being built. PODS quoted me a price equal to about 1/3 of what we paid for the total move to bring our clothes and some other items from SC to TV.

In other words they moved about 95% less - including NO furniture - 33% of the way for about 33% of the price. That is way too high for the convenience of packing/unpacking at your own pace.
