The only thing worse than moving is being asked to help move someone. That is why when I had to move last week, I decided to go with moving help via Uhaul. This is where one can prepay for a few hours of moving help and avoid having to ask friends. I do have a disclaimer though. The service, on the surface, sounds inexpensive, but it will get pricey because it will take more than a few hours to pack up the U-Haul truck properly get it to the new location and unpack it properly. With that being said, it will not be nearly as expensive as hiring an actual moving company to move your items.
I prepaided through U-Haul's website for 2 hours at $140. However, the actual move itself with some minor packing, loading, Transit time and unload time took roughly five hours. All in all the entire move took about five and a half hours and costed me about $300.
The two movers actually worked for Palm Harbor Rentals, so I never even had to drive the truck that I rented through U-Haul. My two movers were Jim and Mark and they were absolutely hilarious, professional, speedy, thorough and all of that good stuff. They kept a very positive attitude and they were very light-hearted, which kept me at ease during what would normally be a stressful event. I would not only recommend using the moving help feature through the U-Haul website, but I would highly recommend selecting Palm Harbor Rentals as the moving agents. read more
