    Inside Pod
    Joneice B.

    U-pack was a great value. We opted to do the service center to service center option. Our move was from Phoenix,AZ to Chicago,IL. I liked the flexibility of opting out of the pod being dropped in front of the property. Not every moving location will make it easy to have pod. I also like the cost savings of just renting a truck to grab your items from the service center. Our project cost just under $1700. This was money well spent. It was nice not driving across country in a moving truck. Booking U-pack was super easy. I ended up talking ton a representative because I need a weekend packing. They made this happen on Sunday for us. Closer to our pack date, I spoke to someone. Our card wasn't charged in advance. When our items arrived, we got a call from the freight yard. They were flexible in giving us 1 extra day since our pod arrived slightly earlier than anticipated. Everyone was thorough and friendly. The pod itself seemed small when we arrived. However we stuffed it to the top. Definitely review their best practices on their website. Most items arrived just as packed. So far we only see had one broken item but it was our own fault (left microwave plate inside microwave). We used a combination of boxes and totes. Some boxes were crushed but they only had clothes in there. Totes held up better than I thought but a few lids did crush. Bikes, safes and desk arrived unharmed. Grateful for this service and would use again if I have to relocate. Tip: plan how you want to pack and unload prior to arriving. Phoenix location had a dumpster and that was nice. Des Plaines had no dumpster. However Des Plaines provided safety vest.

    ETrack loops purchased with ratchet straps for securing items in the pack.

    Okay, so on whole this was a really good experience and I feel lucky to have found it. I would tell you that the U-Pack agents were very willing to go to work FOR you and it was kind of a no-bullsh#t experience. I don't think I ever got put on hold at the top of a call for the entire experience. The drivers were fantastic. VERY helpful getting the truck into place etc. The local dispatchers were very flexible and totally willing to work with us on delivery, pick up dates and times. So as I say, could not have asked for much more on that end hence the 5 star rating. Here are the iffy parts -- 1) The bulkheads in these trucks are beat to death and VERY unwieldy to try and manage and get put into place on your own once your pack is complete. I don't suggest it. Have the driver put it in place. 2) Their ramps absolutely suck. They are heavy and very awkward to move and set up. I'm sure they are great for dollying up boxes of french fries into Shake Shack, but horrible for rolling anything with small wheels etc. On the day of loading I had to go get plywood cut to fit the ramp just to get the heavier stuff that moved on small wheel dollies up the ramp. it was nearly a deal breaker for me. Steep too as the trucks are pretty high. 3) Lastly, this was just plain annoying; every time I called to arrange a truck pick up or dropoff, EVERY time -- they had our address wrong. I asked them to change it, and every time I called the address they had was still wrong. It un-nerved me at first, then it just got so ridiculous it became funny. So, in summary -- GREAT service overall. It requires that YOU be really good at packing trucks safely and securely. Get ready to buy an amount of E-Track rings and ratchet straps to secure your loads. It's not air ride trucks, so your stuff can take a whipping getting to your destination. We had only a very few mishaps though and frankly, they were my fault during packing. Pricing wise given that we had 4 full trucks worth of stuff, this worked out to be a good value. Something like PODs would have been a disaster for us financially. Good luck!

    We were super happy with U-Pack. Excellent value, great communication and follow through. Showed up on time and safely delivered our household items from Snohomish WA to Surprise AZ exactly when promised. Great interaction.

    Successful loading!

    We recently made a move from Phoenix to St Louis and were surprised at the cost of renting a moving van! Amazingly, it was less expensive to use UPack and leave the driving to the professionals! At every step UPack was friendly, accessible, competent and without hidden costs! We were delighted with our experience with UPack and the fact that they made a very demanding job more achievable!

    For the past decades I've lived in the Valley we've always used Two Men and A Truck when we move…read moreand they do a perfectly fine job. This month we needed someone to do a crosstown move for our son. Two Men's quote was extremely high so I researched a bit and found the stellar reviews of Just-In Time Moving. Since their quote was almost half the price (!) we decided to give them a try. You wonder if paying less means inferior service or other problems. That wasn't the case at all. Communication was great. Eric and Miguel showed up right on time (one of those dreadful 110° Phoenix heat advisory days) and worked quickly and carefully. We were very happy to have found this company and are pleased to say they'll be our local movers going forward.

    Just-In Time Moving truly helped me out of an emergency situation…read more I had originally hired another moving company, Not Your Husband Moving, and ended up in a terrible situation where I was billed for more than double the estimated hours for the move into storage and the move was not completed as originally estimated. I needed to get my household goods out of their storage quickly to stop the situation from getting worse. Just-In Time Moving was gracious enough to fit me into their schedule last minute. Their office was communicative, their estimate was thorough and clear, and the final bill matched what they estimated. The crew showed up on time, communicated throughout the day, and was professional, careful, and kind. This was not a simple move. They had to unload my furniture and belongings from storage crates, unwrap items that had been wrapped by the prior mover, take care with everything, rewrap my furniture, load it, transport it, and unload it into my new storage unit. They completed the entire job in 7.5 hours. By comparison, the prior mover had tried to bill me 16.5 hours for the move into storage alone. Just-In Time Moving did a fantastic job, and I am extremely grateful they were willing to help me on short notice. After the experience I had before them, their professionalism, clear communication, and honest billing meant everything. My advice to anyone hiring movers: read all reviews carefully, do not take online ratings at face value, check whether the company is listed with moversaz.org, review BBB ratings, and read how the company responds to 1-star and 2-star reviews. I wish I had done more research before hiring the first company. I am very thankful I found Just-In Time Moving when I did.

    Like most people moving just 15 minutes away, my husband and I initially wondered if we could just…read moredo it ourselves with help from friends and family. "It couldn't be that bad, right?" Just to see, I spent a day calling around for quotes. Some places wanted nearly $300/hr plus a long laundry list of hidden fees, and I thought there was no way it was worth it. But the last company I called was Sterling Interstate, and wow--what a breath of fresh air. We had already dealt with a lot of stress while closing on our first home, and we just needed a reliable team to cross the finish line. The moving industry doesn't always have the best reputation, so I was praying they'd be good--and they turned out to be the absolute best. Not only is their hourly rate very fair for the quality of work, but they also don't hit you with random fees. My husband and I had our home 95% packed and stacked, leaving them to navigate moving everything down a flight of stairs and prepping/packing the larger furniture. Since this was our first time hiring movers, we were blown away: they wrapped and packed everything like it was going cross-country! Even knowing it was only a 15-minute drive, they took zero chances with damage, and everything arrived completely untouched. I am terrible with names, so I've already forgotten the exact crew who came out, but they were AMAZING. On a brutally hot and humid July day in Arizona, they hustled nonstop for 6.5 hours. They took necessary breaks, but they worked so hard, all while cracking jokes with us and keeping the mood light. By the time they left, it felt like saying goodbye to old friends. Pro tip: If you hire movers in the AZ summer, please be kind--offer them cold water, sports drinks, and maybe some Rice Krispies Treats to keep them going! They saved us so much time and left us with the energy to unpack and settle in half the time it would have taken on our own. We are so thankful we went with Sterling Interstate. I don't even want to think about moving again, but it's a relief knowing exactly who we'll call when the time comes. 10/10 recommend!

They showed up on time, came prepared with the right equipment, and worked efficiently as a team. What really stood out was how careful and methodical they were--making sure nothing was damaged during the process, especially with something as awkward and heavy as a full-body mount. They communicated well throughout, took their time where it mattered, and still got everything done quicker than expected. If you need movers who can handle specialty or high-value items with care and professionalism, I'd highly recommend them. Would absolutely use them again.
