Get a Move Similar to Full-Service for a Fraction of the Price
Full-service moving is designed for convenience: a crew does the loading, transportation and unloading (and sometimes even the packing), and you’re free to do other things. But since this level of service comes at a high price point, it’s not always the best option. Instead, it can be better to choose an affordable moving company, and then add extra services to customize the move.
U-Pack makes it easy to get cost-efficient transportation and experienced moving labor. We’ll handle the driving and refer you to a network of pre-qualified service providers for loading and unloading. It’s the service you need at an excellent price.
How We Compare to Full-Service Companies
From fast delivery times to straightforward pricing, U-Pack makes it easy to move for less. Check out this chart for a quick look at how we compare to full-service movers:
No Extra Costs
Using U-Pack means paying only for the services you actually need. If you want a lot of help, it’s available. If you just want to pay for assistance with the big stuff, that’s OK, too. Compare that to paying for everything full-service movers provide, and it’s easy to see why U-Pack is a budget-friendly alternative.
Faster Delivery Times
Because they usually wait until the entire trailer is full, it’s common for full-service providers to give a “spread date” of 2-4 weeks for delivery. U-Pack can move you almost anywhere in the U.S. within 4-6 business days. So, no waiting weeks for your belongings!
No Down Payment
Full-service movers may require a down payment or deposit in order to book your move and reserve the equipment. With U-Pack, no down payment or deposit is required. We do take a credit card number to hold your reservation, but nothing is charged until your move is in transit. You can change the dates for delivery and pickup or cancel up to 7 days before your move with no penalty.
No Combined Shipments
If your belongings don’t fill up an entire trailer, most full-service companies will load other household goods shipments with yours. Your items may also be unloaded and reloaded into different trucks or warehouses along the way. While co-mingling and transferring household goods is common, studies show that it increases the likelihood of loss and damage.
When you move with U-Pack, your belongings aren’t shipped with other household shipments or transferred to other equipment. They stay where they’re loaded until delivery.
No In-Home Estimate
Most full-service moving companies require an in-home estimate before giving a rate. For an accurate price, they’ll need to look at everything, including the attic, garage, basement and any off-site storage units. They’ll then use the number of belongings...
