I Am Moving Out!

ABF U-Pack Moving has some quality trucks to start with. They’re waterproof, strong, sturdy and reliable which is more then other moving truck companies can talk about. They come in a variety of sizes that you can find at the U-Pack website. What will happen when you rent a U-Pack truck is the driver will deliver the vehicle and leave the back of the truck for your moving needs. This too is a self moving company that will require you to do the heavy lifting. Setting up a ramp, getting and other moving material will need to be provided by you. When finished with the process of loading, a U-Pack driver will come and pick up the container unit and ship it out.

Hidden fees exist with U-Pack Moving just like other companies, however, at the same time they are better about it then most. There special ramp is the big one, which will cost you over $75 more than likely and isn’t even guaranteed to be available.

As far as long distance movers go, U-Pack rates are better than most when traveling across the country. The prices range from $1100 to $1400 typically for coast to coast moves. If your more centralized U-Pack prices will be lower as will the cost to you. However, also take a look at fuel rate charges. This will have a great effect on the price, possibly doubling it for long haul moving.

For those looking for a more flexible schedule, U-Pack has their ReloCube, something that is not too much unlike a moving pod. An employee will come over, drop the cube off on a flat surface, likely your driveway, and you’re free to place your stuff at your connivance. After you’ve completed packing up, U-pack will come back, pick up the ReloCube and deliver it on the agreed upon date at your new address.

Lastly, ABF U-Pack Moving has local affiliates much like U-Haul does. Service quality will fluctuate depending on who and where you are dealing with. These are typically low paying, thankless jobs so don’t be surprised if the people you are dealing with are of the more surly type. With that said, I had little to no problems with anyone I talked too in Seattle. Ultimately, U-Pack is a moving company that comes highly recommended by me and others, with an Epinions.com score of 4.5 stars and several hundred reviews. If you’re looking to move cross country this is what you’re looking for.
