You can make your transfer in two instances. Not sure how much cash you have, but in first transfer you can do half cash and all or some stocks in kind, and once your securities and cash show up at Schwab, initiate transfer of the rest. This will at least give you ability to make some purchases during the transfer. That's what I did when I transferred my account to Schwab.
Also negotiate with Schwab transfer fee reimbursement. They will do that for you.
