I hooked up one fjlij denizen on a containerized move from NY to
Yokohama a few months ago. I believe he saved a bit of money over what
the moving company had quoted him. Two things, though:

1. Where the hell are you moving *from*?

2. If you insist on using only part of a container rather than taking
the whole thing, you're going to limit your options on this. They
don't take containers out to places to be partially loaded. You have
to truck your stuff to the container terminal and pay somebody else to
load it. Ditto but in reverse on the receiving end.
