Unfortunately no one who fits that bill. Another reason to just have one vehicle is that DH and I can switch off driving if one of us gets tired.

Well I can see I need to get quotes on these. If Option 1 was $7500 I would do that in a heartbeat. I am just more worried it will be double that.

Oh - we have no Lladro's. Not my style. FWIW for we have in the past transported our porcelain in our car (properly packed) and have never yet broken any through several moves.

Just sell all the breakable stuff, and get new stuff on the other side. Save all the money on insurance, and headaches and worries.

Given the right conditions, even a cast iron skillet is "breakable".

The breakable stuff is collectible porcelain that I would need to sell carefully over time. I close in less than 3 weeks so not possible. And much of it has great sentimental value is addition to economic. Gifts from my deceased parents for example.
