U-Pack Moving Types

As we previously mentioned, U-Pack specializes in long-distance household moves for any situation.

Cross Country Moves

U-Pack will simplify your cross-country move no matter its size. The process is fairly simple; an empty trailer or ReloCube container will be delivered to your home, then you will load your belongings, U-Pack will drive across the country to your new location, and then you unload.

U-Pack does not offer loading and unloading services as a way to reduce its costs; the average cross-country moving costs can be up to $5,000 or more, depending on whether you choose a full-service move or not.
 

Military Moves

U-Pack offers moving services for military members and their families with special moving discounts. Instead of having the government plan your move, U-Pack helps you plan your Personally Procured Move (PPC), also known as a DIY (do it yourself) move.

PPC moves are often faster than traditional government-planned moves. With this option, the government will pay you 100% of what it would have paid government movers. U-Pack services all 50 states in addition to Hawaii and Alaska.

To get reimbursed for a PPM, you need to collect the following documents:

• D.D. Form 2278 (Application for move and counseling checklist)
• D.D. Form 1351-2 (Travel voucher)
• Copy of PCS travel orders
• Certified weight tickets
• Copy of paid rental agreement
• Copy of vehicle registration when utilizing POV and/or boat/trailer
   

Student Moving

U-Pack is a very popular option among students moving to or from a campus, apartment complex, or other off-campus housing. U-Pack allows you to reserve as many Cubes as you think you might need but only pay for the ones you end up using.

As a student, U-Pack can help in:

• Shipping to college dorms
• Moving to off-campus housing
• Moving after college
• Adding storage or moving labor
   

Senior Moving

U-Pack offers extra moving services for seniors to facilitate their move with the ease of mind. The company allows you to work smarter because you get:

• Extra support

U-Pack will provide you with efficient and reliable transportation, in addition to loading and unloading crews. Its moving consultants will help you plan your move in just one call.

• Versatility

U-Pack can handle it all, regardless of your move size, distance, or location. It covers all 50 states plus Puerto Rico and Canada.

• Affordability

U-Pack’s pricing is based on the amount of space you use up rather than the weight of your belongings. And with money-saving options like service center unloading, you can plan your move at affordable costs.
 

Job Relocation

This move type is not to be confused with corporate relocation, as it is aimed at individuals moving to a new place to find a new job or to a specific job. U-Pack offers guaranteed delivery dates as they understand job relocation can be time-sensitive.
 

Smaller Moves

Moves are considered small if you are taking a small number of items. The company’s rates are solely based on the space you take up. It also will not combine your possessions with others, as it will install a secure divider wall after you finish loading your items.
 

U-Pack Delivery Options

U-Pack offers customized delivery solutions for every move. It offers you the following:

• Door-to-Door delivery
• Service Center Delivery

Depending on your circumstances, you can choose between these two options. Service Center Delivery will have your shipment delivered to a service center near your new location.

As for delivery timing, you get an estimated delivery schedule as transit times can vary. You can also ask for guaranteed delivery, where U-Pack will have your possessions delivered in an accurate time window. If any transportation delays occur, U-Pack will waive 100% of your transportation charges.
