How does one ship a super small studio apartment's worth of stuff from one state to another?

It used to be that the big moving companies would “piggyback” a smallish load in a van if it were heading in your new direction. Don’t know whether that still applies. Call one of the more reliable (what a joke) cos. and ask about polcy. It also used to be $1000 minimum. Movers used to pack too, but that adds money. There is Craigs List, but who knows who will show up.

I shipped stuff by train years ago from Texas to California. It was very inexpensive.

Pods: http://www.pods.com/

pack your stuff in one of their containers…they come pick it up and deliver wherever you want

simple and easy

Try ABF UPACK. I’ve used them before and found them to be reliable and less expensive vs. PODS.

Amtrak or greyhound. it’s cheaper than UPS or Fed-Ex, but you have to have someone drop it off & you’d have to pick it up at the station
