U-Pack Moving

Just picked up my shipment and let me give some insight. This would be 5 stars because only two things had damage, but let me explain the removal of two stars. On the phone you will be quoted for an odd amount of space (ex. 5′, 7′), and the trailers are all even feet. So I was quoted for 7′, but the gate was hooked up at 8′ and all my stuff during travel shifted against the door. What would have been a bill a little over $ 1100 was over $ 1200 for that extra foot of space taken up.
The second thing, I shipped a low riding motorcycle. I was told motorcycles can be shipped through the trailer at no addition cost except space. For all you riders with low bikes be warned, the ramp is not sufficient to go up or down. Your bike will catch at the top, going up you can gun it and take a little air, going down you are most likely to bail if not careful. The ramp is narrow, so no walking the bike down, once you are at a point of no return its either be careful or be ready to bail. The ramp doesn’t lock in so it might move as well. Personally, pay the extra cash to have a low trailer ship the bike, or at least someone with a ramp sufficient to load the bike.
Third thing you need to know. You have 3 days to load and unload. If you get to a Friday evening and finish, there is no voicemail to say for the company to come and get the trailer. They are gone by 5pm and not open on the weekends.

I recently moved from out of state to Wilmington via ABF. Not having done this before, I was not certain what to expect. The experience with ABF — both locally and nationally — was great. The Wilmington terminal, drivers and staff who answered questions were beyond helpful and very kind. Moving is stressful. They made it much less so. I used the Upack loaders and in loaders as well. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Economical, careful with my possessions, timely, and great customer service. Thanks. Hope you have the same experience.
