Mine too cause I just order one to move from PA to Cali I'm excited and looking at your video is keeping me at ease. I'm just taken bed n boxes, I was concern bout space but all that stuff u guys had in just one sold it for me.
I am moving a studio apartment from NY to Dallas. I am hoping one box is good enough for me. I do have 30 plants and I will have to figure out that part.
The only thing i think you didn’t mention is if you had to pay extra for the movers and if so how much do they charge? Also is there a difference in price between the wooden boxes and the metal ones?
Fair call out - yes movers were additional, the rates varied by company, but uhaul offered a few options. We don’t think there is a difference on the boxes, but we do think it depends upon distance as to whether you get them or not
I asked. Actually went to my closest location and asked. I also wanted to see what they looked like in comparison to the wood that I had reserved. The store manager went back inside and switched to metal box
Hi - we were able to add it on during our original order. I think that’s the easiest. If you are looking to save some money, you can hire on our own, but then you gotta get the boxes to your place
So I need to do two different reservations if I need the Ubox delivered straight to my home? Like 1 reservation from my old home to the new state uhaul warehouse then, reservation 2 would be from the warehouse to my home? I was under the impression they deliver straight to my new place so we did not have to pick it up from a warehouse.
When we did ours it was one reservation - pick up - storage at warehouse - delivery to house The system will prompt for pick up and drop off - you don’t need to enter the holding time. The system will let you know when it can be delivered. Hope that helps!
Sure that was close to our distance - the totally was around $3600 and that included moving services. You can tailor your order to just the boxes, or boxes with moving assistance. It’s pretty cool
Hello, can i ask you how did you get the option to add the metal UBox, which is more sturdy... i can only find the pallet box which has orange cover under ubox container option
Sooo…technically by uhaul rules the plants shouldn’t have went in, but our movers put them in lol. They actually did just fine, but our plants are like palm trees. Hope that helps
Thanks for the video. We have a 2-bedroom place moving across country 3160 miles. The moving company prices are extremely high. Even PODs pricing was double what Uhaul is quoting for 5 Uboxes. I'm hoping to get the metal box option for protection from the elements. Very helpful video.
Glad to hear it was helpful!! We chose uhaul for the exact same reason - we think the metal boxes come from the distance moves, so I would think you’ll get them. Happy moving!
Just to understand the movers came from uhaul? And they moved back and forth to get the other boxes? And it cost around 3,000 ish? Because this sounds like a fever dream lol I have a one bedroom really only moving a bed and a couch do you think that I could get away with 2? Great video!!
Yes the movers are contracted through uhaul Correct, we had to have everything packed up in our house, and then they lifted everything out. I do believe that had a full service pack option if you wanted someone to box up. Yeah, it was about 3000ish for us. Yeah I would think you could get away with two. Glad it was helpful :)
This has been the most helpful video…eased my anxiety/stress😉
So glad to hear that! Happy moving :)

@@blkbeauti05 good luck!!
Full size couch you have put it parallel?
@@Akhil_S_N yes that’s what we did
Thank you for your video and all the information you shared!

Great video and important tips because I am moving down to Florida this summer, so I will definitely look into the U-haul Ubox container.
Great glad it was helpful!!! Happy moving!
Have you paid for the insurance?
Yes we did
Do you have to specifically ask for the metal boxes because I’ve only send the wood ones?
We aren’t 100% but we think it depends on the distance of the move.
I asked. Actually went to my closest location and asked. I also wanted to see what they looked like in comparison to the wood that I had reserved. The store manager went back inside and switched to metal box
Did you get an option to choose moving help at the destination during your original online order or you chose them after getting there?
Hi - we were able to add it on during our original order. I think that’s the easiest. If you are looking to save some money, you can hire on our own, but then you gotta get the boxes to your place
@@ComeFlyWithAmy thanks for the information. Overall do you recommend moving with ubox? Any damage to your stuff?
@@sandeepit59 I do recommend - nothing was damaged. We did take out insurance in case

What was the cost , I am moving from NYC to Kissimmee in 3-6 months but I don’t want to drive my stuff down myself… any advice is appreciated.
Sure that was close to our distance - the totally was around $3600 and that included moving services. You can tailor your order to just the boxes, or boxes with moving assistance. It’s pretty cool
Do you think you can fit a king size mattress in one of those boxes?
Yes! We didn’t have a king but there was room behind our queen
Hello, can i ask you how did you get the option to add the metal UBox, which is more sturdy... i can only find the pallet box which has orange cover under ubox container option
We actually thought we were getting the pallet box - I think they send the metals ones for long distance moves
How did the plants do? I’m concerned my plants will die in transit.
Sooo…technically by uhaul rules the plants shouldn’t have went in, but our movers put them in lol. They actually did just fine, but our plants are like palm trees. Hope that helps
Did the non wood boxes have any leaks? on your stuff? Was anything wet or molded?
Our boxes were sealed tight! We had no issues at all!

Hi there! How long was your couch? Thanks I’m advance!
It seats three and has larger ends lol - not sure of actual size
