Whether you’re moving with a storage container or renovating a space in your home, portable storage containers provide you with some flexibility. A storage container move allows you to pack everything up without having to drive to a specific destination with your belongings. 

A moving storage container, such as a U-Box container, allows you to put items into the U-Box storage container while renovating your home. Let’s say you’re renovating your kitchen. You can keep the U-Box storage container on your property with your belongings inside of it until you’re done with the renovation project and then return your items back to your kitchen. 

The best part about using a U-Box storage container or another portable storage container is that Moving Help® Service Providers can help you load or unload the portable storage containers for you.

U-Box Storage Containers Offer Options

When using U-Haul’s U-Box storage containers, you get several options. You can have a Moving Help Service Provider deliver the U-Box storage containers for you. Or you can load the U-Box storage containers yourself, and then the Moving Help Service Provider picks up the U-Box storage containers and delivers it back to the U-Haul center. 

Another option is you can have U-Haul deliver the U-Box storage containers to your home, have the Moving Help Service Provider load or unload the U-Box storage containers for you, and then U-Haul can pick up the U-Box storage containers. 

You also have the option to have a Moving Help Service Provider pick up the U-Box storage containers, deliver it to your home, load or unload the U-Box storage containers for you, and then bring the U-Box storage containers back to the U-Haul center.

You only pay for the number of U-Box storage containers you need. You can use the U-Haul U-Box container calculator to find out that number for you. Local moving labor providers will usually deliver the boxes one at a time, but sometimes can deliver two at a time, so keep that in mind.
