Forbes Home is the latest
publication to endorse the advantages of U-Box containers, ranking
them No. 1 on its "Best Moving Containers Of 2022" list.
Forbes Home awarded U-Box 4.8 of a
possible 5 stars, the only moving container to score that high.
In determining the top moving containers, Forbes Home evaluated 70 moving companies and
"ranked the best of the container companies by taking a look at
factors like nationwide availability, deposits and tracking for
shipments, customer happiness, protection and insurance options,
and storage availability. The best container moving companies shine
in the areas of nationwide availability and customer happiness,
which make up 45% of our weighting."
Among the reasons cited for ranking U-Box first were: Newsweek
ranking U-Haul No. 1 for customer service in the moving industry;
its built-in affiliation with Moving Help®, a U-Haul-powered online
marketplace where customers secure local moving labor services;
instant and upfront price quotes online; shipment tracking; several
moving insurance options; no fees for cancellation or date changes;
and availability in every state. In fact, U-Box containers can be
shipped anywhere in the world.
"The customer counts on U-Haul to be their moving and storage
solutions expert," stated Sam Shoen,
Director of the U-Box program. "U-Box is perfect for those who do
not want to travel with their goods, or need extra flexibility with
timing and space issues."
U-Box containers provide 257 cubic feet of storage and one-ton
capacity (2,000 pounds). This generous space enables furniture,
boxes and other belongings from up to one-and-a-half rooms, on
average, to be stored safely inside each container. Customers can
order as many as they need and only pay for what they use.

In addition to DIY movers utilizing U-Box for residential moves
without the worry of driving a moving truck, many customers also
have U-Box containers delivered to their homes for on-site storage
during home-improvement projects.
Non-contact home delivery and pick-up is available, with
customer goods transported by truck with gentle-ride suspension for
safe shipping. Or customers can choose to save money and tow a
U-Box trailer themselves.
The best part about U-Box is the flexibility it offers customers
in planning their ideal move. Customers can have the containers
shipped directly to their new home, or have them stored in a secure
U-Haul facility until they know where they are going and determine
when they are needed. And when plans change, U-Haul never charges a
fee to change the date or cancel a reservation.
As an essential service provider, U-Haul continues to serve
communities during the COVID-19 recovery while offering contactless
business programs and enhanced cleaning protocols, including added
steps for sanitizing equipment between customer transactions.
U-Haul products are used daily by First Responders; delivery
companies bringing needed supplies to people's homes; small
businesses trying to remain afloat; college students; and many
other dependent groups, in addition to the DIY household mover.
