The Ultimate Hack to Your Local Move

Mar 30, 2023

Fond memories and close friends can sway you to look for your next home in the same neighborhood or city. Luckily for you, a variety of services and products are available to make the transition effortless. Make your local move easier with U-Box containers.

A Convenient Local Move

Common moving schedules fall on weekends and at the start or end of every month. When this happens, demand for moving trucks goes up and the availability goes down. A local move doesn’t have to be transported via truck. Instead, consider U-Box containers! They can be scheduled to be dropped off at your home for you to pack or you can transport it yourself using our special U-Box trailers. Once, you’re ready, schedule them to be picked up and delivered to your new home- even if it’s only a block away!

Forget unreasonably priced local moving companies, U-Box containers can be paired with our MovingHelp service providers for a hands-free move! Big or small moves can include some hefty items. Leave them to our MovingHelp providers to load and unload your U-Box containers so you don’t have to.

Flexible Scheduling

Instead of daily rates, U-Box containers are charged for monthly use and for delivery services. This allows you to move on your own schedule! For example, imagine selling your home but your move in date falls on a later day than your move out date. U-Box containers can keep your items secured while you wait to transition into your new home. As a result, weather and thieves are kept out preserving things just how you left them!

Bonus: Storage After Your Move

There’s no doubt U-Box containers are great at moving your items. Additionally, they also double up as a portable storage container! This is a great hack when storage units are scarce in your area, since one container fits about a studio-worth of items. Furthermore, store them at your local U-Haul facility or on your driveway to access them anytime.
