Moving home from school

<p>I thought I posted this Monday but can't seem to find it. My son is moving home from school in May. He has a car but ALL of the "stuff" that he has accumulated over the years will not fit in his car- esp. the big screen TV. Even if I drove there to help, my car will not fit the TV. Any suggestions? Should I hire a mover, Uhaul or just sell the TV?</p>

<p>I've had to ship some odd, some fragile, and some large items to my kids, (although not as big as a wide-screen tv!). Here are my suggestions:</p>

<p>Our local pack-and-ship place can professionally pack large items, even crate them if necessary. Check around at these types of places near his school. </p>

<p>Check out FedEx GROUND (as opposed to the overnight/air services). Not sure if they'll take something as big as the tv, but we've saved tons with them over the last 6 years. </p>

<p>Can you add a hard-shell rooftop carrier to one of the cars?</p>
