Ask YC:Moving Costs
Right now my lease in MKE is up at the end of May, and I am seriously considering a move to SF. As part of my planing, I am trying to figure out how much it will cost to move out there.
It looks like Truck Rental alone will run $1500, and then there is gas. At 7 MPG, going from MKE-SFO, might cost an additional 310-350 gallons of gas, at $4-$5 a gallon, or another $1,500 just in gas.
I have heard of POD, but I was wondering if anyone else had some ideas?
Plan B is to sell everything.
Plan C is to put it in storage here in MKE and move with a suitcase to the valley.
Plan D is to stay in MKE, reduce costs further and travel to the Valley, at regular intervals.
Plan Pipedream, is to get funded.
What advice can the group offer?
- jdavid 19y agoI wonder if there is someway to move on electric power? ;-) Gas is so expensive.
- utnick 19y agosell all of your stuff cheaper just to rebuy what you need on craigslist and you probably don't need 95% of your stuff anyways
- donna 19y agodo you have a place in SF yet? Rents are really high especially with the foreclosure boom happening here.
- jdavid 19y agook, i have another option, try out amazon aws/ http://www.amazon.com/gp/seller/fba/fulfillment-by-amazon.html http://www.amazon.com/gp/seller/fba/fulfillment-by-amazon.ht... for my small expensive stuff, like computers, wii's ps3s bluray, dvd, cds, speakers, tvs, books, etc....
