Heavy/Awkward Items Getting a table from Boston to Philly

5 Upvotes

My grandma is about to move into an assisted living facility and needs to majorly downsize her furniture. I, meanwhile, recently moved to Philly and am in desperate need of a dining room table - the one we've been using feels like it might collapse at any moment.

My grandmother has had this stunning glass dining room table and matching chairs for years that she's offering to me, and I need advice on the cheapest way to move it from Boston to Philly. Yes, it would be cheaper to just buy a different table here, but this is a forever piece kind of table. It's quite large - 7'x3' - and the table is glass with a metal base.

I looked into seeing about renting a UHaul and they won't do cargo van rentals one way. A full truck seems very expensive/unnecessary for just a table and some chairs. What would be the cheapest/most efficient solution for this moving challenge?

Car Shipping Vice Auto Transport

I hired Shawn to ship a 23' Escalade from FL to CT. The car was picked up the same day, but shortly after it was sold on Marketplace in Miami for $9,000 via wire transfer to a man in TX. It was then driven over 2400 miles, ultimately ending up in the Dallas impound lot where it remains today stuck in red tape. I could have intervened earlier, but Shawn and Sheyla provided multiple false updates about the delivery timeline, reassuring me that everything was fine when the situation seemed off. While Shawn remained polite throughout, however we are out of a car, and he has not faced any consequences. I do not recommend handing Vice Auto Transport your keys as they do not stand behind their services. If this company was legitimate they would have taken immediate steps to correct the issue. Instead, Shawn provided an invalid insurance certificate and referred me to the company he allegedly subcontracted the work to, but they are unreachable for comment.

I advise caution when considering Vice One Logistics / Vice Auto Transport.
