What are the best options for moving and storage?

Did you know that every time a moving shipment is handled after the initial loading, the chances of loss or damage increase by more than 80%! This statistic means that if you are looking for moving and storage, you will want to find an option where you don’t have to move your items over and over again.

Think about the number of transfers using a rental truck. Loading the items, unloading the items into a storage unit, loading them back into a truck after storage is complete, and unloading them at your new home. Full service moves mean lots of handling as well. Your items get loaded into a moving truck, unloaded into a warehouse, reloaded onto a truck (perhaps several times), and finally unloaded at your home. All those transfers mean that your items are at greater risk for being damaged.

So what is the best option for moving and storage? Obviously, the best option for moving and storage is an option where you can move and store your items in the same container, so that they aren’t at risk for damage from being moved over and over again. U-Pack is a perfect solution for moving and storage! With U-Pack, you pack and load your items into a moving container or moving trailer. Once you load your items, they are not unloaded from that vessel until you unload them at your destination. So that means if you need to store you belongings, they stay in the moving container or moving trailer that you packed them onto. U-Pack is able to store your items short term, or long term in either moving trailer storage or moving container storage.

How does U-Pack work?  We bring you a moving container or moving trailer. You pack and load your belongings into the trailer or ReloCube® moving container. We drive your belongings to one of our service centers (close to 300 nationwide!). We can store your items at our service center for as long as you need.  When you are ready for delivery, we can deliver your items to your new home, or you can unload them there at the terminal. Our options are flexible and can meet your moving and storage needs!
