Hi all,
My DS19, assuming he actually graduates from high school here in Idaho, plans to attend university halfway across the country in Oklahoma.
The plan is for him and me to fly there in the fall, and he can use all of his and my checked bag allowance to bring stuff. When we arrive, we'll make a run to a Walmart or Target or the like to buy dorm room stuff.
Beyond that, he has a computer gaming chair and desktop computer system that probably won't go on the plane as luggage. My initial thought is to ship these two items plus whatever else is large and bulky.
Going to UPS.com, it looks like they can get stuff from here to there in three days, but the charges were pretty high - several hundred dollars.
He has a car and we could drive it, but for his freshman year we think it's better if he leaves the car at home. Plus neither he nor I want to do a 22 hour drive.
Any recommendations for how to get big/heavy/fragile items there better/cheaper/easier?
Thanks!
