Well, we just had our first official moving estimate, from the reliable people, the ones who were supposed to give us a straightforward quote and mean that we could cross this item off our list before going on vacation for two weeks.
And, well, the quote they gave us was for 5K.
Northwestern will reimburse the first $1000.
Frantically calling other moving companies...
In other news, particularly for
retsuko, how precisely does one approximately correctly tie an obi?

I don't know the relative cost, or if you have space for one, but since you do the item moving yourselves, it might be a lot cheaper.

I _hate_ moving.

I went with my local Allied agent; the quote was higher than United expected to quote me, but Allied gave a binding quote and that's important, especially if you have to have a check or credit card available to them at delivery.

The big expense seems to be that they need a shuttle small truck to get in and out of Manhattan, and then reload it from their warehouse onto a larger truck. It's the Manhattan surcharge, more or less.

Oh yeah, and re: obi: we did one on my halloween costume last year. Between an internet search and N., managed to get it done, so I recommend searching around for it; there were diagrams and such.

Yikes on the 5K! D's and my plan to send our stuff down to SD doesn't sound as good as it did before I checked my LJ. :(
gack!
i will say that the quote seems kinda high, since 5k is what Stanford would have alloted me to move from Madrid to California, had I gone.
