For A Complete Quote From moving boxes To Transportation, Try upack.com
I work with a lot of people who are moving and one of the most common complaints is the difficulty in getting a concrete quote for the cost of their move. Whether it’s a full service mover or just renting a cube van or small truck from a rental company (for the do-it-yourself crowd), the story is always the same. Without fail, getting a quote itself is relatively straightforward, although it often requires perseverance: phone calls to various moving companies navigating voicemail, leaving messages and waiting for callbacks. Once they actually get through with someone who is authorized to issue a quote for the job, then they have to read through the fine print and dig out costs for all the extras like moving boxes, storage containers, insurance, fuel, deposits, return fees and everything else that moving companies typically tack on to their base price. Worst of all, that quote may bear only passing resemblance to the final amount owing once the job is completed.
A long time ago, I started pointing people toward www.upack.com, a web site operated by ABF U-Pack Moving. This is a company that gets it; people want to know their full cost of moving upfront, they want to be able to book online, order moving boxes online, and get a quote online without having to navigate a voicemail maze. The site is a wealth of information for anyone who’s considering a move and is of particular interest to people looking to save money by moving themselves instead of hiring moving companies to do everything. Unlike vehicle rental companies, you only have to pack up the storage containers, ReloCube or trailer that’s delivered to your home; you don’t have to worry about having to drive the vehicle to your destination. There’s a fuel calculator provided online that allows you to enter the locations you’re moving from and to, providing an estimate of how much it would cost you in gas if you were to rent a truck instead. Other useful tools include an estimator for calculating the number of moving boxes you’ll need, checklists, and even how to videos.
You can do literally everything online and receive instant confirmation. You can buy boxes, book storage containers, moving packages (specifically designed to supply everything needed to pack up rooms like kitchens or bedrooms) and get a quote based on your starting point, destination and number of rooms. You can also book your job online. The price that you see on your quote is the price you pay: no hidden surcharges, additional fuel costs or fine print. Potential differences between your quoted price and the final price you pay are clearly spelled out. The only factors that will change your final price are changes like modifying your destination or moving dates, having your cargo seized by customs, requesting the trailer be parked somewhere that results in it being ticketed, or leaving your trash behind.
