Moving RentalsDo you need to find an affordable self-moving alternative to relocate? Moving Rentals are ideal for the price conscious do it yourself mover. They blend the conveniences of full service moving with the low cost of moving rental trucks. Whether you are moving up the street or to another state, U Pack Moving will create and plan a successful minimal stress-free moving experience for you at a fair and reasonable cost. U Pack Moving will offer estimates to help you approximate moving expenses. They will deliver an empty trailer or a portable moving and storage container (Relo Cube). You will have up to three business days to pack and load your goods. Then the driver will pick up your belongings and drive them to your new home. You have three business days to unload. All of your fuel and transportation costs will be included in your moving quote.  Your price will be based on the amount of space you use and not the weight. So make sure you show them every item to be moved, including the contents of your attic, basement and garage. Ask them to explain the estimate in detail to reach a clear understanding of your quote. Also, be sure you receive a written copy of the estimate. Moving TipsHave plenty of supplies---Don't make me say this twice-- you'll need LOTS of boxes--probably more boxes than you think, and having enough boxes will make your life easier! (If you buy your boxes from a moving company, you can always return unused boxes for a refund. If you got them free from the grocery, just toss any leftovers.) Have about 10 boxes set aside to use for last minute items on moving day, such as bedding, clothing, and cleaning supplies. You'll need strong plastic packing tape to close up the boxes securely. Use unprinted newsprint (newspaper can stain your items) or packing paper or bubble wrap to wrap and cushion household good. Again, you'll need lots more supplies than you think, so get extra so the packing can go smoothly. Return any unused supplies after the truck is packed. Color coordinate---Designate a color for each room in the new home, such as yellow for kitchen, orange for dining room, etc. Apply colored stickers on the box near the box number. In your new home. Put a matching sticker on the door to each room. The movers will know where to put everything when they arrive at the desitination. It's also helpful to post a big sign on the wall in the room where you want boxes stacked, ("Boxes here please") to keep them out of furniture and traffic areas. Consolidate cleaning supplies---If you must clean your old place after moving out, put together a kit of basic cleaning supplies and rags. Clean anything possible ahead of time (the inside of kitchen cupboards, the oven, windows, etc.), and if possible, vacuum each room as movers empty it. |
