Default Finally Frogs

After two years as snowbirds, we've finally moved to TV for good. We sold our co-op at the Jersey Shore that we had been using to visit the kids and grandkids. We got a little more than what we paid for it and the unit was only on the market for a month. Boy, were we surprised.

We didn't move any furniture as we were already set up here in Hadley. We did have a fair amount of personal items and memorabilia to bring down so we wound up using a small container from ABF Freight, (www.upack.com). We had seen their trucks in TV before and they offered a unit 6' by 7' by 8' tall, which was a perfect fit for us. The container, which shipped from NJ to TV in under 3 days, was just over $1,500. PODS didn't offer their small container interstate. PODS cost would have been in excess of $2,500.

If this size container fits your moving needs, I highly recommend ABF. Pickup and delivery were on-time, their staff was courteous and their method of spotting the container worked great on the driveway at our CYV.
