U-Pack Moving

This company is great! My cube went from Arizona to Buffalo in 5 days with no problems. Kevin in Tonawanda was nice and let me get stuff out of my cube while it was being stored. The price is much more reasonable than PODS and they are very helpful.

Amazing! After Pods nearly ruined my entire move, I called u pack and they saved the day! They delivered a container to my house within hours of calling and they were waaaaay more fairly priced than Pods! The drivers were professional and courteous and answered all of our questions. The representatives on the phone were equally awesome! My belongings arrived without incident and everything was recovered seamlessly. Thank you U pack for making my move easier! Highly recommended!

I had hell with previous movers (American Van Lines) with their lack of professionalism in not picking my stuff up w/​o warning & then not being able to give me a move date as the weeks passed…& ripping me off almost $ 800 of my deposit only because they said they COULD move me when they couldn’t. This is when I had to find another mover QUICKLY! & fortunately found ABF via an insert of change of address from the post office (which also gives you a coupon for $ 50 off!!).
** ABF IS TOTAL OPPOSITE from those other evil movers!!! ***
You can give them one or two days notice and they’ll send the trailer for you to load your stuff onto it!!! And they DO deliver in the time they claim and can even hold off on delivery of things up to three days or so for free! Very accommodating and helpful! They can even pick up on the same day you call it in (conditions apply)!!!
Not only that but it’s awesome!!! You ONLY PAY for the SPACE YOU USE which is not set in stone until you’re fully loaded & it’s picked up, weight is not a factor. The trailer is a 8’6″ wide x 9′ tall and 28′ possibility of depth, but you use what you need (minimum of 5′ deep). MUCH cheaper than any movers by a lot… superb on services!!! I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THEM!
ONLY THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND…
1) Be sure to get your «Rights and Responsibilities» pamphlet as required to do so by law. They may have it online.
2) BEFORE booking the pick up date, find out if
parking the trailer will be an issue either on street or driveway (need 40′ space (trailer & ramp) & it’s very, very tall, won’t fit under a garage). You may have to call police department to verify if ok to park on street. I had room in Buffalo, but my destination was a concern. Talk to ABF if no room on driveway and parking of trailer on street is not allowed. They may be able to help you out. They did w/​me. :)
3) LIABILITY IS VERY LIMITED as you’re the one loading/​unloading! So pack your things VERY well. (tons of cushion & reinforcement in boxes)
4) THINGS YOU’LL NEED:
a) WORK GLOVES (for putting up the bulkhead, which may be splitting and can give you splinters, plus it’s dirty– and also for moving the ramp?)
b) DOLLY & STEP STOOL (if you yourself are doing the loading/​unloading)
c) TIE MATERIALS SUCH AS ROPE & TARP (to tie your stuff up so it doesn’t fall. I did a web w/​the trailer holes (forget terminology) and the rope. EVERYTHING fell & shifted, even as tight as I thought I had it, but the web held it from going any further. Stuff does get dusty. Doesn’t appear that way but it is dusty, especially noticeable on plastics.
d) BIKE CHAIN AND/​OR LOCK for securing the door while loading (if you don’t do it all in one day or if you need to run out for something). They don’t provide locks you can use.
e) ANOTHER PERSON– The ramp is very heavy (esp. for a petite girl) and to put the bulkhead up to divide your stuff from the rest of the future cargo they load… you may need 2 people.
GOOD LUCK! Hope this was helpful. :)
