So you are moving by yourself and realize “How am I supposed to pack all this stuff?” Don’t worry, you’ve got options, its just a matter of deciding what works best for you. You could ask a friend or rent a truck, but have you considered portable storage? U-Haul offers U-Box containers that you can pack at your own pace and you can even hire Moving Help to help with the heavy lifting.
Portable storage containers allow you to pack your things without the rush of having people waiting on you. Once you are packed, you have lots of options as to how to transport your belongings:
Self Delivery
If you only need the U-Box container for storage space, then a self-delivery might be your best bet. That way, you don’t have to schedule any pick-up or drop-off times and you can tow it whenever is convenient for you. You can pack at your own pace and return the U-Box container to the storage facility when you are done.
Load/Unload at U-Haul 
Do you already know that you will be using your U-Box container for storage? You can bring your packed items to the U-Haul location and simply load up your U-Haul and they will store it for you. When you decide you need it, you can have it delivered!
Trailer Delivery
If you need lots of space to move your things, then a trailer delivery might work. With this option you can rent a truck and and use a trailer to tow your U-Box container. You can even tow up to two of them for extra storage space.
Moving Help
If this is a larger job or if you are moving alone, you might consider hiring Moving Help. Moving Help can load your U-Box, transport it and even unload it. Another advantage to hiring Moving Help is the opportunity to maximize your space in the U-Box container. With Moving Help, you can stack and arrange your things to make sure no space goes to waste. You can even combine this option with the Trailer Delivery option and have Moving Help deliver the truck and U-Box containers.
