I am moving a studio from NY to TX. MY largest items is my 45 inch tv, tv stand and sofa. Using IKEA bags for soft items etc. Everything else can be broken down. This will work for me. Thank you.

[@domjmarie]

Thank you so much for this! Moving from AZ to TN and I have been so nervous about my stuff 😂🎉 very helpful!

[@domjmarie]

For me 1 box is at $1530! 😇

[@WatchEmFlop]

@@domjmarie you’re stuff will be good, my friend. Travel safe and thank you for your support!

[@meerabakshi2676]

did you buy insurance? apart from U-box/s shipping charge, I am asked drop off and pick up U-Boxes, and since I am 73 years old can not handle much lifting boxes, so will need to have help in loading and unloading help, so everything adds up to around 3 to 3.5 k, I have not yet confirmed my order but soon I will have to decide. Watching your video gives me a pretty good idea how to pack using tots. It would be more sturdy, can stack nicely and no applying tape on card board boxes. Plus different size boxes may be difficult to align to save space. Let's see how my move cross country would be!

[@WatchEmFlop]

We did not buy insurance. If I remember correctly it only covered $1,000 in damages/stolen property so we didn’t think it was worth it. Totes are a great way to pack for sure. Best of luck with your move and thanks for stopping by!

[@patwilliams2563]

Very helpful! Thank you sir 🙂

[@WatchEmFlop]

Glad I could help, if you have any questions let me know and I’ll do my best

[@lorivl7310]

Moving cross country. This was very helpful in making my final decision.

[@tompritch56]

Did you have to provide your own pad lock? Great information.

[@WatchEmFlop]

@@tompritch56 yes, you provide your own lock. I put an Amazon link in the description of the locks I used. Affordable, durable and keeps the “opportunistic thief” away. Thank you for your comment and watching!

[@esthermcgough3995]

I have a full size fridge and washer. a queen size bed and wonder if they will fit in these

[@WatchEmFlop]

@@esthermcgough3995 a king fit snug so your queen should have plenty of room. A fridge and washer on top would probably fit also but measuring everything then adding it up would be the safest way to tell

[@shermillz9226]

This was really helpful. Thank you!

[@anthonypk7281]

Helpful information. Much appreciated.

[@blaaaa930]

About to move from Nevada to South carolina and I got three of these I'm hoping my whole house fits in them

[@WatchEmFlop]

@@blaaaa930 if you want to or can, I recommend selling some of the common items you can easily replace at your new home. We did that for a few items and worked out in our favor. Best of luck with your move!

[@blaaaa930]

@@WatchEmFlop yeah we’ve sold off our couch dinner table and chairs and we’re trying to get rid of 3 out of 4 of the desks we have

[@glb_tvlr]

Much appreciated video! Liked!

[@peterv1602]

I see you ordered 3 boxes but had two transported. Dis they charge for taking back the 3rd box?

[@WatchEmFlop]

@@peterv1602 think they charge like $30 a box for drop off but if you don’t use it, no charge to pick it up.

[@dolphin19721000]

Thank you!

[@WatchEmFlop]

@@dolphin19721000 most welcome!

[@SaltCreep45]

Thank you for the video I'm also moving to Miami Beach my question is do you have to pay for them to pick up the box when unloaded or is it included in the shipping cost ?

[@WatchEmFlop]

@@SaltCreep45 no, didn’t have to pay anything for pick up after unloading. Once the boxes are picked up from your place you shouldn’t owe them anything going forward. Thank you though and enjoy Miami!

[@MetalikeV]

nice video. was the driveway slope too large for them to put them in the driveway in Colorado or did you want them on the curb? I'm moving to a house with a similar graded driveway and want to use the driveway if possible. Thanks.

[@WatchEmFlop]

When scheduling the U-Haul rep said the driveway was too steep and I would have to place them on the street/curb. But when the drop off driver arrived he said he would’ve been able to place them on the driveway with the caveat I didn’t stack heavy items too high inside. Hope that helps and lemme know if you have anything else, and thanks for watching!

[@lauraf7904]

Well gone I’m convinced to use this complaint. Well spoken and detailed so much in a focused understandable user friendly understanding. Thank you and I’m way up in frosty Edmonton Canada🇨🇦🍁

[@RRee-yu2zq]

Thank you for all the great info. Going back to AZ. What type of locks did you use? Will you suggest a good lock or 2? Thank you much

[@WatchEmFlop]

Thank you! There is an Amazon affiliate link for the locks I used in the video description, they worked great and are affordable.

[@dewayne4446]

How many bedroom did you move? We are about to make the move from Denver to Tampa next month and I just reserved 5 of these. Hoping I don’t need that many but we have a basement gym and I know that’s going to be a box by itself because of how bulky the equipment is

[@WatchEmFlop]

Close to 3 bedrooms I’d say and congrats on your move to FL! Little warm right now here but still loving it

[@dewayne4446]

Haha I was looking at the weather the other day and it was over 90 the entire week. I’m from Alabama so I’ve had a little taste of humidity but I hear it’s next level there. Hopefully it’s not worse than Okinawa because I barely survived out there 😂. Thanks, and congrats to you too man.

[@rokade18rohini]

What about the insurance? You insured the moving or not? I have 2 bedroom apartment and not able to figure out how many boxes I need?

[@WatchEmFlop]

We did not choose the insurance options from U-Haul. From my understanding one insurance was for while it was in a U-Haul shipping lot and the other was for accidents that happen in transit. Both didn’t cover very much, like a $1000 if I remember correctly, so we just went without either.

[@QuietInChaos1]

I will definitely subscribe to you

[@WatchEmFlop]

@@QuietInChaos1 much appreciated, thank you❤️

[@babyfied9958]

Did you pack any Couches in the Pod ?

[@WatchEmFlop]

We did not. But our roommates had separate ubox’s they packed a couch in, wasn’t a large one but a decent size two piece sectional, and it fit well in theirs

[@restyje0726]

how many days did it takes to arrived at florida?

[@WatchEmFlop]

Think it was about 12 days

[@lynnjanettedolberry2523]

what was the size of your bed?

[@WatchEmFlop]

King size

[@SCSC-qz7rr]

You forgot the main thing, how much did you pay?

[@WatchEmFlop]

[@uongoivanneo5231]

After unloading at your new home in Florida, please tell me how to return the empty U-Box container and any extra fees for return if have. Thanks

[@WatchEmFlop]

@@uongoivanneo5231 it was pretty simple. We asked for a pick up the next day after boxes arrived(unloading goes way faster then loading) and they picked up both boxes then. I checked in a week later to make sure there wasn’t anything owed, which there wasn’t, and that was it!
