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!

No no Jason! If he has at least one ball, he will strap it on and be on his way. With that being said, I don't expect it.

if we are definitely ruling out the luggage racks on top...not a good idea at all?


I just returned from a 1 week vacation in Destin and my budget doesn't really allow for me to sell a $1000 mattress for $200 and then buy another $1000 mattress after moving across country again and shelling out 1st/last and another security deposit
well then strap it on and have fun
stop being a puss
if it goes airborne it;s gone and so are chunks of your luggage rack
matrees sure
box springs dunno

Heh, there has to be a way he can get that to Illinois.

Here's a thought, you remember that dude that traded a red paper clip on CL for a bunch of crap until he finally got a house? Do that.

Advertise your professional lemon party services to anyone who will help you transport your date-rape pad all the way to the Land of Lincoln.

Pony express will get that mattress there in a hurry, (unless they get bushwhacked by those darned Injuns).
