We used a local mover in NY that made weekly runs to FL. We had them deliver our stuff to a storage room. When we found our new home and closed we had a local mover bring things from the storage unit. Pods, Packrat, Uhaul box etc work well if it is mostly boxes - but anything shifting or breaking is on you as you pack it yourself. I seal all edges of the boxes which I would recommend if they will be sitting a while to keep bugs out. It also keeps humans out if sealed that well - label with numbers - not rooms. room #1 1/3 that way you can be sure you got everything. It was impossible to count the 100+ boxes that I shipped and so far I don't think I lost anything. The workers move so fast bringing things in.
