Since we'd started thinking about the possibility of moving on, I started checking out the 'you move it yourself', places. I found MOVEOUT, to be a good, reasonably priced, source of all different sizes of moving boxes, and they have free delivery! They also have a 'calculator' on their site that helps you figure out how much you need, so you can guesstimate how much it's gonna cost in supplies. We also checked out moving companies, and UPack is interesting because you only pay for the space you use in their truck. If there is room left, they ship freight to the place your stuff is going.

We also checked out the PODS company. PODS lets you keep the container longer, and it's at ground level, so you can fill it as you pack, but it's a little more expensive for the move. What's not clear on their website, is the cost per day as you're packing it.

UPack only gives you the container for two days, so you have to get everything packed and ready to go, but it's less expensive to move with them, than the PODS. Both sites have a way to estimate moving costs, though.

UPack is the one I'm planning on going with for my move.

I don't have that much, but it's enough to where I can't ship it all via USPS or UPS.

Good info on those companies. As I was helping my brother move this weekend (movers were out of the budget and his wife is expecting again so no lifting for her...) we decided that when it comes time to move mom out to the east coast we're going to use one of those container companies.... and hire someone to unpack it.
