U Pack

I scoured all moving companies for a month. In the end, seeing I did not know how much I was going to move (due to this being us closing an estate for a family member that passed away)..I was left with 'having to' either cram stuff into "A" cube or get 2 cubes. I didn't particularly like "either" idea.  When I went on-site to hold the cubes..I happened to notice something I had not seen before, there is a THIRD option..you can rent space inside a 28 foot Trailer/truck. You can use as much space of that truck as you think you might need.  I (believe) there is/was a minimum space/fee but I knew we were not going to have any problem with the minimum requirement of 5 linear feet.  I called and talked to someone before clicking to get the cubes and she was so kind/curteous and explained everything in detail without rushing through.  In the end, we ended up using 14 feet (For every 1 linear foot you use they charge approx. $120)  and I brought home things that I can now sort through at my leisure instead of having to make "on the spot" decisions about family items.  ABF gave me the quote online, the quote/terms did not change, there were no surprises. They kept their word at every occasion. They delivered the trailer on time, they picked it up to move it for shipping across the country, on time. They said it would be 3 days to get here, it was here in 3 days.  I, however was not ready in 3 days so they allowed me a couple days in their storage facility so I could get ready.  When they came to delivery at the final destination this is where they REAAALLLLY EXCEEDED all expectations.  I live on a narrow one-lane road and the truck driver needed to be extra careful/cautious AND WE had to be there because the wires  (tele) on the last 4 houses are low and we didn't want our neighbors wires ripped off..They were WONDERFUL to deal with. I called and spoke to dispatch, I talked to the Manger and the truck driver..all went very smoothly.  Same thing with picking up the trailer--getting it out of our home area..they called 20 minutes before hand, we helped get the truck out of our area and the entire experience simply could not have gone ANY Better. I highly recommend renting the space on the trailer if you don't know how much stuff you want to take, this allows YOU to manage it better and the fee is more than reasonable and 14 feet is a LOT more space than what I was going to pay for 2 cubes--my final cost for 14 feet was less than renting the 2 cubes!  Thanks So Much to ALL -- You made a sad experience of closing my Mom's estate..much easier. High Marks!! If I can give you more than 5 stars, I will !!  Thank you Thank you!  I will DEFINITELY recommend you and your company to all my friends/family.

ABF was okay in that they brought a van the day I asked for it--the other broker said at the last minute that they didn't have the driver's to do the job. my only problem was that I thought we did a pretty good job of packing my furniture and almost everything was damaged by the time it got to texas. they were pretty quick in transit but they must have taken some of the turns on two wheels or something because it was obvious our stuff had really been for a wild ride. did not bother to file a damages claim with them.

AWESOME Experience!! I've looked at several moving companies and I didn't want to pay thousannddsss of dollars!

Moved from NC to TX

Also checked multiple pack it yourself company like zippy shell, even uhaul has a UBOX which is very similar to the relocube for ABF's Upack, although uhauls u box was cheaper then ABF by just 200$, I prefered abf's based on the reviews. The relocube is small, after further research I found out they also have a trailer which they will drop off just like the cube, but with more space, you only pay for what you use which is much more conveint then the cube cause you get a whoollleee trailer and you'll get a quote on certain amount of feet and if you use less then your quote you get some money back but if you end up using more then they charge you a bit per foot! much better then have to stress over needed an extra cube since we prob would have filled 1.5 cubes but would have ended up having to pay for to cubes which would have been more then the trailer!

Besides this I've recieved great customer service through the found by Lupita Barraza (ft. Worth) and my drivers from apex was very punctual and professional andddd a great driver having to squeeze in etween to big cars just to have the trailer in the position I needed it. My driver from ft worth/arlington also amazing!

I will def use this company again!!
