Marking the size of the box on the ground is very clever!

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Ah, thanks! Let's just say I've moved a lot of the years, and I'm very visual. Hope you can use that trick. Thanks for watching and commenting. It helps our business. Joel

[@anxylum]

Gonna get one soon, that’s exactly how I intend to pack mine, just fill it up jam packed to the top. 😂 Thank you for this.

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Is there any other way to pack? Lol 😆 Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for your comment it helps out more than you know.

[@anxylum]

@@TheWanderingHartz unfortunately, yes. Some people just chuck everything in randomly and then claim that there’s no more space. After moving so many times in the last few years, I’ve become quite good at filling every nook and cranny. 😂

[@kenneth2321]

Thanks for this

[@TheWanderingHartz]

We are glad you liked it!

[@lifeintheranchito825]

Hi can you post a video or mention how dis everything go with the ubox..did your stuff come undamaged or wet or everything came out good?..am planning to get one for a move from florida to texas

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Yes, I am working on a more thorough review, but the short answer is it worked great. We had no issues with moisture or any damage. We packed everything, very well which helps. They transport them upright like you saw at the end of the video as it was loaded onto the truck. The boxes seem to stay pretty level (except perhaps up a hill on the journey).

[@valarmorghulis3773]

Papa Hart can get it👀😅

[@angiek3538]

I feel like I have more clothes than all your stuff lol

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Lol it’s entirely possible. That’s pretty much what we had left after downsizing, definitely the hardest part for Michelle was going through her closet. Would you believe we have even less stuff now?

[@tonitrif82]

Did he say the floor size and I just missed it

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Hi @tonitrif82 the external dimensions of the U-box are 8’ x 5’ x 7.5’ and internal dimensions of 95” x 56” x 83.5” it has 257 cubic feet of portable storage which can be transported or stored. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Joel

[@jpcwork8341]

Hey, We are planning to rent these U-Box for our cross country move. U-Haul says, these boxes can be loaded upto 2000lbs. is there a trick you had while loading these boxes to ensure we are not exceeding the weight limits of each U-Box? second question : does U-Haul offers real time gps tracking of the box? Thank in advance for reply.

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Good luck on your move! I just guessed at how much stuff weighed to be honest. They are each basicly 5'x8' so your not too likely to overload them. As for the real time GPS tracking... they did not when we moved 2 years ago, we did not have any issues and were notified when it arrived and ready to schedule the final delivery. If I remember correctly it was about 10 or 12 days for it to arrive from TN to WA. I hope that helps!

[@jpcwork8341]

@@TheWanderingHartz Thank you for the reply

[@rainacherienne1010]

Put an AirTag in it 😊

[@elmajay1978]

Hey. Did U-Haul charge separate fee other than what was on the reservation to drop the boxes off at your new home

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Hi Elma, We were charged a fee to pick up and then the local Uhaul in our new state charged us a separate drop off fee. It was about $25 more than the pick up and I think had to do with the trailer they brought it on. It was about $100 to drop/pick up the box and $125 to drop/pick up empty box and trailer. We had just the one box, so I dont know if there are additional fees for multiple boxes.

[@laughter95]

Were your contents delivered as planned and unharmed?

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Yes, once our U-box arrived we made a delivery appointment and everything was just fine.

[@laughter95]

@@TheWanderingHartz wonderful, thank you!

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Your welcome, Good luck with your move!

[@oldtinbox6404]

What advertisement company do you work for?...

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Hi Scott, We don't work for any ad companies, I am a freelance Producer and Photographer and we have our wanderinghartz.com travel website. Although I have produced commercials and content for agencies, none of our videos or articles are commissioned. If we did we would disclose that. Thanks for watching. Joel

[@InvestingwithRyan]

Total cost?

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Our costs at the end of 2019 were $1600. BUT it has gone way up since the pandemic. Last I checked it would cost us over $2400 for the same move across conty with pick up and delivery of the UBox. I have been trying to find time to do a wrap up video about our experience. I was very happy overall, but the cost is prohibitive for us at current rates. You mileage may vary. Thanks for watching.

[@InvestingwithRyan]

@@TheWanderingHartz Thank you for letting me know. I have a concrete quote from Pod. I am moving from Michigan to Florida, and the move is about 1350 miles. For a small container which is larger than the uhaul ubox I was quoted an exact price of $2680 for the entire move from start to finish. That is assuming I have the container for 30 days or less, which isn't an issues for me.

[@TheWanderingHartz]

@@InvestingwithRyan No problem. Good luck on your move! We are about to leave Florida after several months, it make me sad thinking about it! We love it down here.

[@Birdlover12345]

Could have done the video without the music in the background. Super distracting and can't really hear you

[@TheWanderingHartz]

Hmm, that's odd. 30k+ views, and you're the first to mention not hearing the dialog well. What device did you watch it on?
