I have studied this for actually a few years, and I'm also a Moderator on a General Moving Issues forum.
ABF Relocubes seem to have much better reviews then many other options.

When we make our move from NY to Florida hopefully within a few months, this is that I am leaning towards.

The BIG thing to know is;

1) Know that if you are moving from a BIG northern house with an attic and a big basement to a much smaller Florida home with NO basement, etc.....you will NEED to get rid of A LOT of your stuff!!!!!

2) It costs A LOT to move stuff. I've seen too many folks not get rid of nearly enough stuff, so they pay big bucks to move stuff over 100 miles, only to get rid of it in Florida. Foolish.

3) You do not need "Stuff" to keep memories alive. You do not need to feel guilty getting rid of ANYTHING just because some loved one got rid of it by giving it you.

4) You are starting a new life. Keep a few things that mean a lot to you, but most stuff is better left behind. Many northern things just do not go well in a Florida home.

I too would be interested in other folks experience with Relocubes, etc.

You need to know how to pack well, keep stuff from shifting, keep stuff protected, etc. If you have a bad experience, it is probably because YOU did not pack well.
