Shipping them to yourself is one possible solution...but there is always a transition period of at least a couple of weeks between houses and having all your household goods delivered...and that is the best-case scenario for a move. It only takes 24 hours to ship...so you have to have someone either hold onto them at your original location and be able to safely pack and ship them once you've moved and gotten settled...or ship them to someone at your new location who can receive and keep them until you arrive.
