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!

The other option is to buy the hitch and wiring kit and install it yourself, you'd probably save about 50% on what u-haul quoted you....then rent a trailer....you would end up spending a couple hundo but maybe it would make the move easier?

it's $0.80 a mile...so you think it's a good idea to rent a Uhaul, drive it for 1600 miles, and then drive my car another 800 miles (two tanks of premium gas)...? That was a really well thought out idea.

No you'd be better off dropping the money on a trailer hitch...

That would add to the resale of your care, and youd be able to use it in the future.

Renting a uhaul and making two trips is not a good idea unles syou need to make two trips anyway.

Follow pawn's advice, don't go over 65, and ditch the box springs and find a discount furniture store when you get there and pick a new one up for under $100. If it was just a mattress I'd give you a 100% money back guarantee that you'd be fine. Mattress and box springs equals certain death.

Tell Rick I moved a queen with no box spring just mattress on top of a 2003 cavalier with a '****er rigged' rack from Colorado springs to kc a month ago. Had no problems with it falling off and I drove next to several cops did not get stopped once. Not as far of a trip as he's making, but I thought i'd share since I recently had a similar problem.

You will not find anyone to haul it for $200 or less you cheap bastard. I'm surprised you found some dumbass to do it for $320 for the amount of miles he has to drive. Chances are it would take forever to get there and you would be without your mattress for awhile. Just do what pawn suggested and get four straps and go for it. I'm sure one of your friends can tie it own for you since you don't know how to
