To provide an estimate, all we’ll need is your current location, your moving destination, the size of your home, and a moving timeline. If you’d rather speak to a moving consultant, call [*844-362-5303*](tel:844-362-5303)[*844-594-3077*](tel:844-594-3077) to get your personalized quote.

Your moving price won’t change after you make a reservation as long as your moving details (date, locations, shipment size and equipment type) remain the same. With U-Pack, you only pay for the space filled in the [moving trailer](http://d8prod.upack.com/how-upack-works/equipment/moving-trailer) or the number of [ReloCube® moving containers](http://d8prod.upack.com/how-upack-works/equipment/moving-container) you use. If you’re unsure of your shipment size, you can adjust it from the quote screen (or ask the moving consultant) to see how more or less space (or containers) affects your moving price.
