I hope I didn't already ask this here...

I will need to move all my stuff from Osaka to Yokohama in Sept, and was wondering about how much I should expect to pay to have movers come to my place in Osaka, pick up the boxes, and ship them to Yokohama for me to arrive a few days later. I would move myself to Yokohama by train to catch up with the luggage as they arrive.

As far as amount of stuff, just a frugal guy living in about a 8 tatami mat place, so not tons of stuff, but too much to carry.

Does anyone have any companies they would suggest I use?

I don't have a problem with Japanese language so I don't need a special English capable service.

Thanks for any tips!

I thought the last time you asked for moving info it was for shipping your stuff back home. But I'm very likely mistaken about that.

Thanks! Wow only 30,000 yen for that. That's cheap!

Do you think there would be anything difficult about moving a mountain bicycle?

It is "moving service for business bachelors" that I used.
I sold the big thing of furniture to a thrift shop.
I disposed of the washing machine, the microwave oven, the cupboard, the vacuum cleaner
A load of moving
A medium-sized refrigerator, a PC, a monitor, a printer, 29 inches TV, a bicycle,
Clothing, tableware
The thing which I did not usually use sold the tableware.
It is good to be sold in a flea market.

Naganuma-san, I can get ride of all the big things, EXCEPT the bike. I really want to keep my bicycle. Otherwise, all I have are clothes, books, and FUTON stuff.
