Let’s review what customers typically look for in a moving company and how U-Pack® delivers. ![Kids play basketball as parents unload a U-Pack moving trailer](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%201%201'%2F%3E) encoding="utf-8" ? ## Built around what matters most in a move Check out these common non-negotiables customers have when choosing a moving service and learn how U-Pack meets (and exceeds!) those expectations. ### I want a company I can trust U-Pack is a reputable moving service that has been in business since 1997, and many moves are for repeat customers who were pleased with our service. It's important to [compare movers](http://d8prod.upack.com/moving-services/compare-movers) by checking reviews on a third-party website, like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and asking friends or family for recommendations. ### I’m not comfortable driving a large rental truck, but my moving budget is tight For an affordable DIY moving solution without the hassle and extra fuel expense of driving the equipment, U-Pack is the best option. [Compare U-Pack to truck rental](http://d8prod.upack.com/moving-services/compare-movers/truck-rental) to see how our services and rates offer better value. ### I need help, but I can’t afford full-service movers It’s easy to [add labor to a U-Pack move](http://d8prod.upack.com/moving-resources/moving-labor) and still pay much less than [full-service moving](http://d8prod.upack.com/moving-services/compare-movers/full-service). With our solutions, you can get as much or as little help as you need. For example, if you want to handle packing your things and only have help loading them, it’s an option. ### I don’t know how much space I need or how much my belongings weigh U-Pack only charges for the space you use in a 28-ft moving trailer (down to a minimum of 5 linear feet) or the number of ReloCube® moving containers used, not the weight of the shipment. If you reserve too many Cubes, we’ll pick up the empty ones at no charge.
