I have personal things in storage facility and I need to move out of state
Question Posted Monday May 30 2022, 7:43 pm
I want very badly to move out of state. I have a lot of personal belongings in a storage facility. Could someone please tell me the best fastest and cheapest way of moving them out and getting them to where I want them to go? I don't have any furniture or appliances. They consist of luggage bags and boxes. I do not drive and have no vehicle. What also complicates this is that I am not sure where I will be living when I get to the new place. At first it will be it will have to be some type of hotel. I greatly appreciate your advice thank you.

If it is a ton of boxes, a hotel may not allow you to fill up your suite with them and as you said, you don't drive so they cant be sitting in your own vehicle. I don't know how many boxes and things but it is very likely that you will not be able to fit them into any car that you might borrow or buy for someone else to drive. If you drove, renting a box truck if no issue but since you can't, you may want to hire an actual moving company, even if its a smaller owned business, maybe two guys. But you'd probably have to pay them very well for their time, driving your stuff out of state, maybe motels too as they wouldn't need them if not doing this job for you. It may not be easy but just call around and say you are curious for the future and if you find a company, tell them you will let them know once you have a place. To get yourself out of town, its an easy bus ticket to where ever you want to go. This means you are packing along a bag of your clothes and bag of toiletry items and maybe small memento's. You then check around town for a job first, a cheap place to stay and save up money
to get your permanent place. If there are other crucial things you may want at your non permanent place or permanent place, pack and seal a box to leave with a close friend, when you have a postal address for the friend, give it to them and money for the cost to ship. I did this once, but I already knew where I was going, I merely shipped a box of stuff that wouldn't fit in my car.
Now, you don't mention the reason for the 'need' to move so I doubt its for a job or just to see new scenery. I don't even have your age, so if you are not yet 18, you are still a minor and so going out on your own means running away from home. If home life is really that bad, whatever the issues are, consider talking to relatives who will side with you if the parents are truly in the wrong, and ask their help for giving you a place to live, and if they want to be on the legal end of it, then it involves child protection services, maybe even a court but relatives get first dibs on a kid, I know from my own family issues like that in the recent past, not me but someone else. You can be awarded to the relative. Finish school if that applies, or get a job and work hard and save all your money. This way, You are not on your own and have someone to help you.
