We were moving her belongings out of a 2 bed-room condo in Houston and into a storage shed in Austin. I have no idea how much we saved because I have never hired movers before. However, the fact that my husband and I didn't have to load up and unload all of that stuff in the heat and into a little storage unit made it all worth it, especially considering the cost of gas and the rental and driving of the moving truck. I will use uship again if I ever have to move long-distance again.
