Ask HN: I am moving from WA to FL. How do I move my stuff?

I have a full 1-bed apartment, one big dog, and no car.

At minimum, I need to keep the dog and a couple suitcases worth of irreplaceables, which can cheaply be done with an airplane. The rest of it can be tossed if the cost to ship is too high

I got a quote of $5k from upack and $2.5k from u-box. I'm trying to find something under $2k, but I haven't had much luck. Any suggestions?

I don't mind 30+ day shipping times, so I tried looking into freight (ocean and train), but a quick search didn't yield anything. It seems like those aren't really available to ordinary consumers...

I also don't mind having the goods delivered to a hub. The origin and destination are close to the largest city in each state, so I'd imagine there'd be plenty.

I'd rather not do a road trip unless it's dirt cheap AND comfy. Closest thing I could find is a $4k one-way RV rental.
