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

Our guide will showcase the benefits of using 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 delivery order. You can have your U-Box delivery order done with U-Haul or Moving Help. 

Moving Help Service Providers offer three options when it comes to U-Box storage containers: 

  1. You can choose a Service Provider who offers U-Box Delivery only.
    • This means the Moving Help Service Provider will pick up the U-Box container from the U-Haul center and deliver it to your home. You load or unload the U-Box storage container yourself. You then call the same Service Provider to come pick it up when you’re done, and they’ll deliver the U-Box storage container back to the U-Haul center. 
  2. You can choose a Service Provider who offers U-Box Delivery and load and unload.
    • This means the Moving Help Service Provider will pick up the U-Box from the U-Haul center 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 center. 
  3. You can choose a Service Provider who offers load or unload.
    • This means the Moving Help Service Provider will load or unload your U-Box storage container at your home or at the U-Haul center. 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 center and then you or U-Haul will deliver the U-Box storage container back to the U-Haul center. 

How Many U-Box Storage Containers Can Moving Help Deliver to Me 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 Moving Help Service Provider’s towing capacity. If the towing capacity only allows one U-Box container, the Service Provider will deliver one U-Box container at a time. If towing capacity allows two U-Box storage containers, the Service Provider will deliver two U-Box storage containers at a time. 

You should keep this in mind when ordering your U-Box storage containers. If you order 10 U-Box storage containers, it could take up to five to 10 trips to just deliver the U-Box storage containers to your home. Then it’ll take the Moving Help Service Provider five to 10 trips to deliver them back to the U-Haul center.

You can fit plenty of items into a U-Box container, which will fill about 1 ½ 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 by the U-Box storage 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. 

Let Moving Help Assist With Your U-Box Needs 

You can make your U-Box storage container needs even easier when you add Moving Help to your order. Moving Help Service Providers know how to do U-Box delivery and carefully load or unload your U-Box storage containers in an efficient manner.
