U-Box® storage containers and Moving Help® work great together. You can find a portable storage container without renting a U-Haul truck rental. Plus, you can have someone load or load the U-Box container for you along with other options.

Our guide will showcase the benefits of hiring moving labor from Moving Help for your U-Box storage container needs. Our guide also will answer questions you might not have thought about when ordering Moving Help and U-Box storage containers.

U-Box Delivery Options With Moving Help

You have three options when you order Moving Help with your U-Box container delivery order. You can have your U-Box storage delivery order done with U-Haul or Moving Help.

Moving Help moving labor providers offer three options when it comes to U-Box storage containers:

You can choose a Service Provider who offers U-Box Delivery Only.

  • This means the provider will pick up the U-Box container from a U-Haul location and deliver it to your home. You load or unload the U-Box storage container yourself. You then contact the same provider to come pick it up when you’re done, and they’ll deliver the U-Box storage container back to the U-Haul location.

You can choose a Moving Helper who offers U-Box Delivery with Load and Unload.

  • This means the Moving Helper will pick up the U-Box container from the U-Haul location and deliver it to your home. They’ll load or unload the U-Box storage container for you. Then they’ll deliver the U-Box storage container back to the U-Haul location.

You can choose a moving labor provider who offers Load or Unload Only.

  • This means the moving labor provider will load or unload your U-Box storage container at your home or at the U-Haul location. If the loading or unloading happens at your home, you or U-Haul will pick up the U-Box storage container at the U-Haul location and then you or U-Haul will deliver the U-Box container back to the U-Haul location.

How Many U-Box Containers Can Moving Help Deliver in One Trip?

For U-Box delivery, a Moving Help Service Provider can only deliver one or two U-Box storage containers in one trip at the maximum.

It’ll depend on the provider’s towing capacity. If the towing capacity only allows one U-Box container, the Moving Help provider will deliver one U-Box storage container at a time. If towing capacity allows two U-Box storage containers, the Moving Helper will deliver two U-Box containers at a time.

You should keep this in mind when ordering your U-Box storage containers.

If you order 10 U-Box moving containers, it could take up to five to 10 trips to just deliver the U-Box containers to your home. Then it’ll take the moving labor provider five to 10 trips to deliver them back to the U-Haul location.

You can fit plenty of items into a U-Box container, which will fill about 1 1/2 rooms in your home. This should help you figure out how many storage containers you need. You also can find out what can’t go into a U-Box storage container and how to pack a U-Box container correctly. 

How Does Adding Moving Help to My U-Box Order Work?

You’ll order the number of U-Box storage containers you need first and then you’ll add Moving Help afterward. Additionally, Moving Help Service Providers are paid per U-Box container and not by the hour.

Therefore, if it takes 30 minutes or 5 hours to fill one U-Box storage container, you’ll still end up paying the same amount because time isn’t a factor for the price.
