5 Reasons Why Moving with U-Pack Makes More Sense than Using Traditional Moving Services
No one enjoys moving. New cities are exciting, and putting your stamp on a fresh space can be fun. But, the physical act of moving boxes and furniture, it’s never a good time. U-Pack can help lessen the pain of relocating with its “you pack, we drive” moving services. How? Check out the following 5 Reasons why moving with U-Pack makes more sense than using traditional moving services, or opting for truck rental.
1. U-Pack allows you to work at your own pace. How many times have traditional moving services arrived at your home to find you still boxing up household items? This won’t be an issue with U-Pack. A moving trailer or moving container will be dropped off at your home, and you have three full days to load your furniture, moving boxes and other items into it. Since U-Pack charges an affordable rate based on the space used, not by the labor hours or cargo weight, it provides a less-expensive, less-stressful alternative to traditional moving services. U-Pack also will deliver moving boxes right to your door. And, if you order your moving boxes when you reserve your moving services, you’ll save 10 percent on your moving boxes.
2. U-Pack offers two container options. Ask your U-Pack moving coordinator to help you estimate the footage needed or use U-Pack’s online space estimators at upack.com, then decide whether you want the space of a 28-foot trailer or one or more six-foot by seven-foot by eight-foot cubes. The trailer works well for all types of moves and, again, you only pay an affordable rate for the space you use in it. A cube will fit into a standard parking place, making it perfect for smaller moves where trailer parking may be an issue. Not sure whether you can fit everything into one cube? Order two and if you end up not using the second, you don’t pay for it. That’s another way U-Pack moving services saves you money.
3. U-Pack does the driving, and pays for the gas, sales tax and insurance. When you opt for truck rental, all of those items are expenses on top of the basic rental price. Also, consider the truck rental driving itself. Highway speed limits in most states are 55 m.p.h. for trucks and 45 m.p.h. for trucks towing a vehicle. That’s more time spent on the road than if you were just driving your vehicle. Plus, navigating roads through bad weather in a rental truck you’ve never driven before can prove hazardous. Truck rental may work well for short moves within a city, but if you are moving out of state, U-Pack proves to be the safer, more efficient option.
4. U-Pack delivers faster than traditional moving services. Many moving companies can take up to 20 days to deliver your furniture and moving boxes. U-Pack can move you virtually anywhere in the United States in two to five business days. Once your trailer or cube(s) have been delivered, you have three full business days to unload.
5. U-Pack offers free, instant quotes. Many traditional moving services will send an employee out to take inventory of your home and then provide a quote, which will most likely change once your cargo has been weighed.
