When this happens, demand for moving trucks increases, and availability decreases. A local move doesn&#8217;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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ydIu9mavAKA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pack<\/a> or transport them yourself using our special U-Box trailers. Once ready, schedule them to be picked up and delivered to your new home- even if it&#8217;s only a block away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forget unreasonably priced local moving companies. U-Box containers can be paired with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/MovingHelp\/?utm_campaign=uhaulsm&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=movinghelp&amp;utm_content=20230301-theultimatehacktoyourlocalmove\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moving Help<\/a> service providers for a hands-free move! Big or small moves can include some hefty items. Leave them to our Moving Help providers to load and unload your U-Box containers so you don&#8217;t have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"U-Box\u00ae Moving and Storage Containers: Full Service Delivery &amp; Load Option\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KZsg_XNedGY?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexible Scheduling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HST-7380CA513_1-12_19_U-Box_La_Privada-526.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55260\" style=\"width:405px;height:270px\" width=\"405\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HST-7380CA513_1-12_19_U-Box_La_Privada-526.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HST-7380CA513_1-12_19_U-Box_La_Privada-526-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HST-7380CA513_1-12_19_U-Box_La_Privada-526-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/HST-7380CA513_1-12_19_U-Box_La_Privada-526-640x426.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of daily rates, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KLSzmohehsc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U-Box containers<\/a> 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 later than your move-out date. U-Box containers can secure your items while you transition into your new home. As a result, weather and thieves are kept out, preserving things just how you left them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus: Storage After Your Move<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no doubt that U-Box containers are great at moving your items. Additionally, they also double up as a portable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cf7D_6vqhjs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">storage container<\/a>! This is a great hack when storage units are scarce in your area since one container fits about a studio&#8217;s worth of items. Furthermore, store them at your local U-Haul facility or driveway to access them anytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"U-BOX\u00ae Portable Moving and Storage Solution\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1XuctffNL-Q?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The best-moving tips and hacks can be found on our social pages on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/uhaul\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/uhaul\">X (formally Twitter)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/u-haul-international-inc-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/uhaul\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fond memories and close friends can sway you to look for your next home in the same neighborhood or city.
