U-Pack Moving

Would definitely use this company again. It was so easy to order and to receive the cube. Everyone was very helpful & friendly. & so much cheaper than driving a moving van myself. They were very cool about me not having an address to deliver to & were just really easy-​going about the whole process. Storage is pretty cheap too, if needed.

I’m moving from Richmond, Indiana to Manteca, California and after a terrible experience with movers from Boston/​Philly on my move to Florida, I tried PODS. This time, I thought to try ABF because they’re a trustworthy freight mover
Their containers come in a smaller size than those of PODS. (I’m thinking right now that two of these containers will not hold a 3 bedroom house’s contents, per the quote.
You can start the quote online, make changes, and even contract for help on either end. After I finished making changes, I called the company with some questions, and as well, to get the process moving.
Mark picked up the phone and was friendly and answered the questions reassuringly. It went smoothly, even though I don’t have an address at the other end yet.
They sent some forms, including one for Gypsy Moths since I’m moving to California.
I was told that they charge after they pick up the containers. They asked me to call them when I’m ready to have them picked up. This was confirmed today. There is no early, automatic pick up. However, they have a three day loading period that doesn’t cost extra. If you go beyond that, they charge you a storage fee. Since I’m already going to be charged for storage, I think it doesn’t matter.
Last Friday, they called to set a drop-​off time for Monday, and they were closer to the late end of that window, but that’s fine. It’s better than the Cable company arriving after you return to work, and then, complaining that *you* blew the appointment, right?
The driver was friendly and asked where to put the containers. They use a large forklift to move them from the trailer to your selected location, and they have the ability to position them at any of four angles (facing garage, facing away, facing right, facing left). The documentation says to use a flat surface, but a slanted driveway is fine.
