Moving ATL-NYC after grad

I'm graduating from ATL and moving to NYC right after grad. Havent started apt hunting yet but probably will 1-1.5 month before the estimated move in date. I live in a college dorm so i can fit everything i own into 7-8 boxes. No big furnitures like couch/fridge. I'm planning out the logistics of shipping and moving everything but i'm not sure if i'm overcomplicating it. Idek which way (most budgeted financially) i should ship and move. Pls if u guys have any tips I would love to know 🥺.
P.s: This is probably a process with many moving parts so I'll take any advice/tips/life hacks I can get.
