U Pack

We moved the contents of a 10’x10’ storage unit from Tucson, AZ to Columbus, OH. The month prior we contacted several brokers and movers and it was a very unpleasant experience. Prices were all higher than what we ultimately paid for U-Pack (granted the others included packing and loading); information was misleading (i.e. some movers were actually brokers); price points were confusing and not firm; reviews were often terrifying, etc. Looked at UHaul, Pods and U-Pack and settled on U-Pack. The experience was as close to perfect as I think you can get in this area. The trailer arrived on time in Tucson, we loaded and secured our stuff, we needed less space then we thought and the price was lowered to reflect this, the trailer was picked up and transported to our new storage unit in Columbus, the shipment arrived in good condition and we unloaded it, the trailer was picked up. Throughout the process the shipment progress was monitored online and we interacted with U-Pack to schedule and confirm dates. Service staff were always helpful and pleasant to work with. This was a very positive experience.

We moved from central California to Ada, Oklahoma and it was seemless! The truck arrived for us to load on time and they were very pleasant to deal with and answered all of our questions. The truck took about 8 days to arrive (not including weekends) and they gave us notice before heading our way. We had plenty of time to pack and unpack the truck and we’re pleasantly surprised to have nothing broken (though that would have been on us since we packed the truck). I would recommend this company to anybody who is moving this is the only way to do it! Note: First picture is when it left our house in California the second picture is when it arrived to us in Ada Oklahoma (we added a couple things after we took the first picture)

I used 5 feets space of upack trailer for my move from Pittsburgh PA to Austin, TX. Everything was smooth like pickup, transit and drop at the destination.

There are few issues I had with my move

1) They charged my credit card for full trailer but I only used 5 feets. I had to make few calls for dispute and it took almost a week for correction.

2) Upack trailer ride is rough, It is spring ride which is not good for furniture etc. I recommend go for air ride which is better for long distance move.

2) My stuff got water damage in the transit. Upack trailers are supposed to be water proof. My stuff were soak in water and had mold. I did not aspect water damage and getting mold all over my stuff.

We were so impressed with UPACK!! We knew we needed more than 1 Pod but probably not all of 2 Pods. By having the flexibility of the entire truck or only part of it was amazing.. We way under estimated how much we would need. Having the extra room was a life saver.. Our things arrived quickly and in good shape.. The process was easy, customer service was great, and the drivers were so friendly and helpful.. We would definitely recommend and use them again. Our only recommendation is that they install handles on the bulkhead for easier moving. Other than that we were thoroughly impressed. Cheaper than Pods and easy to use website to handle the whole process.

We just had an excellent experience using U-Pack Relocubes for our 600 mile move. Would highly recommend!

Booking: simple online quote, but calling them resulted in even better price. Very friendly and prompt customer service.

Price: All-inclusive, no surprise costs, affordable and competitive.

Piece of mind: guaranteed to actually have the cubes available on the day you need them.

Flexibility: we went with a hybrid model of filling the cubes at a service center and having them delivered to our door at the destination.

Transportation: tracking available, cubes left departure city next day after filling and arrived at destination city in two business days. No third-party transportation company shenanigans! The convenience of not having to drive a moving truck ourselves was a HUGE factor.

Delivery: organized by simple phone call, truck arrived following early morning. Total moving time 3 days, when estimated was 4-6. Driver was very helpful, friendly and professional. Our containers were handled with care.

Apartment/limited parking: cubes were placed as to not be an inconvenience in limited parking of apartment complex. They were also kind enough to be able to pick the empty cubes up same day!

Belongings: we shipped a motorcycle amongst other things and it was a tight squeeze (will not fit a bigger motorcycle for sure) but most everything arrived in good condition. Depends almost entirely on how well you pack and strap everything down. Had no problem with the locks we got for the cubes, nothing was tampered with.

Overall, choosing U-Pack made a stressful and tiring move a bit easier, and we are very pleased with the experience.

We moved from AZ to NC. A friend recommended UPack by ABF. I would never use them again. The inside of the truck was filthy. Some of our furniture seems to be irreparably damaged. Not only that, but the rep that we scheduled with on the phone gave us one set of instructions, and the driver that showed up at our house gave us another set of instructions. The driver told my husband that they

would pick up on a set day, circled it on our paperwork and left.

The rep on the phone said call for pick up. The driver never showed up the set day. When my husband called the Arizona hub to have our loaded trailer picked up, the woman that answered was rude and short with him. She scheduled a pick up for the following morning. The driver never showed up again. He called that afternoon. She scheduled the pick up for the following morning. Again, no driver. Finally, the rep (in Arkansas) that I originally scheduled this move with called and said that no one had heard from us. I was outraged. That rep was able to schedule it for us, but we were now running a day behind. We were on a tight cross country schedule, so this was very stressful for us. When we got to the other side, all of our belongings were covered in some kind of black yuck. My cream linen office chair even appeared to have been stepped on when they closed the truck? I don't know. I can't even guess. The entire experience was horrible. The cost of this awfulness: $8,000. Never again.

Long distance moves are exhausting and hard and expensive. Upack (using abf freight) was very easy to work with, very accommodating. They delivered when they said, drivers were friendly and helpful. No extra charges tacked on. Our only issue was we had a full truck, so we had to wait another day after our trailer was delivered for the ramp to be delivered to our new home to be able to unload. Other than that, everything was great. It's important to pack the trailer well, and tight. We only had one casualty of a broken vase, but it was our fault for how it was packed. Would Def use again. Hope I never have to!! Lol. Moving sucks!

We used two Relo-Cubes to send furniture to family in the Des Moines area from Winston-Salem. For us, all went well.

The Cubes have vertical E-Track. I bought the E-Track fittings to hold 2x4s and made a second level in one of the cubes. This allowed us to ship 10 dining room chairs on the upper level and the table and table pedestal legs on the main level, along with other items.

Packing: Chairs had pipe foam on the backs and moving pads. nested pairs were ratchet strapped in. The large, two leaf dining room table was disassembled and crated with pads, foam and cardboard. The three leg table pedestals were turned upside down and bolted to a shallow platform using the E-Track and 2x4s.

The second Cube held a long sofa, shipped vertically on a padded box to keep the weight off of the rolled arm. Also assorted small pieces, again all padded and strapped.

The Cubes were delivered on time and loaded over a weekend. They were picked up on a Tuesday afternoon and arrived for unloading in Iowa the following Tuesday. Due to an extreme cold snap and Christmas holiday the Cubes were not picked up until a week later but I don't see that as a defect in the service.

Having moved a dozen times while serving in the military and several times after retiring, I am comfortable saying my experience with U-Pack and ABF is with out a doubt the best. Every staff member I had dealings with was very professional, courteous and helpful. My trailer drop off was on time and I had no issues packing and securing my items. The delivery on the destination side was on time and trailer pick accomplished the same day. The price was exactly as quoted, no hidden fees or issues. I will turn to U-Pack and ABF again, should I need a moving service! Top notch service and personnel from beginning to end, period!
