Moving advice
Dear Chiefsplanet...

I am moving to Illinois and have a, basically, brand new queen size mattress and box that was very expensive and I do not want to leave behind or sell for $0.60 on the $1. I got a few quotes for shipping rates and they are all over $300 and come from some pretty seedy shipping companies.

I don't need to rent a moving truck as all of my stuff easily fits into my 2002 Audi Allroad (with a sturdy luggage rack on top) and don't need to pay $800 + gas for a Uhaul + towing (for my car) rental.

Basically, I want to get this queen size bed and box to Illinois (800 miles) without getting pulled over for dangerous hauling (or whatever it may be) and with the mattress arriving in 1 piece in good condition. My friends seem to think with a tarp and several ratchet straps it would be more than safe on my luggage rack, but man...I just don't see it nor am I good with this stuff.

If anyone has any experience in this sort of thing or has some advice or anything...maybe even instructions on how to do this without ****ing my car up, my mattress up, and putting an entire interstate of other cars in danger...I would be greatly appreciative.

Go Chiefs,

Spoiler!

Heh heh. You just said you can't afford to sell the mattress and buy a new one at your destination.

if it is just the mattress you are hauling, and you have racks...you are FINE strapping it down brother....They are just ****ing with you.....As long as it doesn't exceed the overhang limits or block your vision....Strap that bitch down and roll. I have strapped so much shit down.....one queen mattress...piece of cake.

it's a queen mattress and a queen box and if he's ****ing with me I'm not going to be happy...I did research and I just don't trust it...I'd be willing to spend up to $200 shipping this thing but the cheapest I have found is $320...so it's either I find a buyer in 5 days or try the luggage racks and I really don't want to cause a traffic accident on the way home

spend 25$ on some nice ratcheting tie downs...if it doesn't exceed the overhang, you are fine.

You could also ditch the box spring, since they do JACK SHIT in terms of the mattress, and then pick up a box spring off craig's list when you get there..and just tie the mattress down.

Either way I can't see it being a big deal, just use like 4 tie downs...nad get them tight as ****.

Now that I know the whole story I have to agree. Get some straps, Grandma Griswold the son of a bitch to the top of the car and GO!

What could go wrong?

A Queen is 60x80
The roof racks for a 2002 Allroad are 48 wide.
6" overhang on either side
Dunno how far apart you can place the racks on the roof, but 80" is a lot to cover.
Carrying capacity is only 145# as well.

Doesn't look promising

I've got a call into a guy that works for a logistics company to see if he can get someone to deadhead it there for you or at least get it close enough that you could pick it up from a terminal.

You might be okay doing this, but I wouldn't do it. Too much risk for too little gain.

Also, this thread could go 1,000 and make it to the hall of classics if all goes well (and by "well", I mean "comically wrong").
