if you have less than a whole house to move; if you can pack things yourself, and if you can be flexible with pickups and deliveries, and if you can do a good job of fully describing the items you are shipping (accurate carton count and measurements and descriptions of items), using UShip is a great option. Just pack carefully and well. Use good shipping cartons and lots of protective packing material. Measure your couch -- length width and height and depth -- and overestimate what you are moving.
