It's not just Friday, it's Flashback Friday! That makes it even better, right? Today's the day we revisit a blog post that readers have enjoyed (or found helpful) in the past and give readers another chance to take a look. This week we're going back to a reader favorite that revolves around the price to use a moving pod to get from point A to point B. If you're curious about how much it costs to move— specifically moving pods prices— keep reading. I think you'll find some helpful information here. Since the moving pods concept is fairly new (by new…I mean within the last 10 or so years), people still have a lot of questions about how they work. The questions typically revolve around things like size, how much time they have to load and unload, pick-up and delivery options, storage options, how long it takes move, etc. But I'm not at all surprised that the questions asked most often are those related to moving pods prices. And I can totally relate. Right or wrong, price is usually my starting point too. If you've started getting moving quotes, you may have seen some really high moving pods prices. And if you're on a budget, you may have found that they're simply out of the ballpark and not an option— regardless of how outstanding the concept is. The good news is, you've got options. U-Pack offers affordable containerized moving in a 6' x 7' x 8' ReloCube® (or as many as you need). It's such a convenient way to move. Similar to other moving pods services, the container is delivered right to your door for loading, a professional driver drives to your new home, then it's delivered to your door for unloading. Customer's love the extra security of putting their own lock on the container and keeping the key. So, where to start? You've probably already noticed that the services offered by most moving pods-type companies differ. That normally means their prices differ too. In fact, even within the same company, your price differs based on where you're moving, when you're moving, and how much you're moving. So I recommend starting the process by getting moving quotes. Since you're doing your own packing and loading, an in-home estimate isn't required. You can just use online space estimators to determine how much space your belongings should occupy. Tips for getting the best moving pods prices: Always keep in mind that the price on your initial quote may be flexible. It's never a bad idea to call and ask if there are options available that might lower the price and make it fit your moving budget a little better. You may be surprised by the little things you can do to get a better price! Ask about "off-peak" moving days. You can often get better moving pods prices at the beginning of the month and in the middle of the week. Ask your U-Pack representative if there's a lower price day for your move. Pare down. Moving items you don't need costs more money. So, if you don't need it, don't move it! Consider donating it, or make extra money by having a garage sale. Consider alternative delivery options. If your move is small, ask how much can save by loading and unloading at a local service center. You'll often see a significant savings, even if you consider the cost of a local rental truck to take your items to the service center. Ask the important questions. Make sure you know ahead of time what happens if you underestimate or overestimate the space you need. Some companies require that you pay for what you reserved, regardless of what you use. And some may not have additional moving pods available if you need more space. Since you pay for the space you use with U-Pack, if you reserve two ReloCubes, and only use one, you only pay for one. (That's what I call convenience!) If you have questions about the how much it costs to move with U-Pack, give us a call, or get a quick online moving quote. Then compare to other moving pods prices. I think you'll like what U-Pack has to offer. |
