If you are moving, and do not want something damaged; build a box from 2x2 (min 2x4 even better) and 7/16" (¾" is better) plywood.  Make sure that the item cannot move inside the box.  I did this for my '82 AR9 speakers.  On our move to CA my bike was damaged.  Next move, the bicycles will be far better protected.

Also, sell/abandon/donate/give away everything that does not have sentimental value.  The cost of moving it is more that the replacement cost.

We moved recently from LA to Texas. No problems just picked our movers carefully. Mayflower had too many complaints against them so we passed. We used King Relocation Service , its employee owned and we liked that....We packed our own stuff, what a headache. Too much stuff.

For part of our move we used a POD hired a experienced crew to load it and than locked it up and put in storage to follow us when we were ready. Got it delivered and hired a crew to unload it. Bikes shipped fine and they were just loaded and tied to wall.

My motorcycle was shipped by Federal, no problems.

I think this post should be moved to a disgruntled moving forum? I don't see what it has to do about bicycle maintenance?
