Just wanted to update:
On a friend's recommendation, used University Van Lines in Rahway (an Atlas affiliate) http://www.universityvanlines.com/.
I can't praise them enough -- they came to the house and did a thorough estimate for shipping house contents and car, and packing the kitchen (and, it turned out, a bit more than that).
Two men came to do the packing, and returned the next day and loaded it all on the van, along with the car (and even helped me dispose of leftover junk). Super nice and helpful guys.
Ten days later (exactly on time) two different guys, equally pleasant and helpful, showed up at my new home, unloaded, unpacked the huge wardrobe boxes, and even took away a sofabed the previous owner had left. I've now almost finished unpacking the boxes, and found just one broken item (and I think I may have done that myself).
The whole thing was about as stress-free as possible (I wish I'd had them do MORE of the packing), and actually came in $300 under the estimate (which was less than the others I'd gotten). And they take credit cards--one less thing to worry about.
PM me if you need more info.
