ABF U-Pack Moving

Pros: They drive the truck, low cost, fast and polite service, nothing lost
Cons: Loading the trailer yourself, including hauling and intricately packing stuff into a small space.

I recently moved belongings from our two bedroom apartment from Cleveland, OH to Dallas, TX - a 1100 mile move.  I researched many options, including renting a truck from U-haul or Penske, full service movers, PODS, and U-pack (ABF).  It was ...

Pros: Great agents; quick service; everything arrived in the condition in which it was packed
Cons: Miscommunication caused the driver to have to spend time waiting on me to arrive

I just moved last week using ABF's U-Pack service.  I'm currently living in Maryland and my things shipped from Indiana.  My Mom packed up the truck in Indiana.  The driver called to let her know he was on his way and arrived in the 30 ...

Pros: Courteous, professional, skilled drivers.  Honest. Didn't overcharge.
Cons: Dirty trailer floor

When we found ABF U-Pack online, we were a bit leary about moving companies in general. Having "shopped around" for a couple of months from PODS to United Van Lines, the services we were quoted ranged from $5,000-$10,000 for our 2000 sq ft house!  ...

Pros: I got my belongings.
Cons: Too long for 15 words.

I decided use ABF to move my things from California to Tennessee. The "estimated" time was 5 days. I drove up and made the trip in 3 days, so I was pretty sure 5 days was a reliable estimation, so we planned on it to arrive within 5-6 days. The ...

Pros: Great cost compared to other options; also convenient and flexible.
Cons: When using the terminal service, you will want a large vehicle (else lots of trips).

I'm a student and I either rent or stay at home, and for the rest use my car.  I Hired ABF to move a "Relo-Cube" full of my personal stuff over a distance of 2000 miles.  A relo-cube is a miniature storage container that you ...

Pros: A) Did not have to drive; B) Friendly staff
Cons: Was much more work than I anticipated!

I read every negative review and am very sorry for those folks who had bad experiences. Ultimately, I went with ABF anyway. While hesitant because of the reports of those experiences, it fit with my DIY mindset.  I was terrified of the possible ...

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use, cooperative, honest, NO HIDDEN FEES!!, fast delivery
Cons: Just be sure to doublecheck your bill for accuracy

I moved last week from Connecticut to South Carolina and I used ABF U-Pack. I am very pleased with them. No other company that I called could even come close to their price and other companies wouldn't allow me to haul certain items that ABF did ...

Pros: Quick response to questions, concerns. Very well priced.
Cons: None.

Just a note to thank everyone involved with my move. Because of health problems my wife and I needed to move from our home in Florida to live with my daughter in Michigan. We contacted several moving companies and weighed many options before deciding to ...

Pros: Load at your pace.
Needn't be there for pick-up.
Overnight stay, No worry about possessions .
Cons: Need hooks that will fit in the small slots on sides for tying load.

We needed to send some items to furnish our new vacation home in Florida.  We thought about using U-haul and were worried about overnight accommodations as our possessions sat out in a parking lot.  We looked at the PODS option but they were ...

Pros: Cost efficient, honest, trustworthy, caring people, professional, timely, bent over backwards to be helpful.
Cons: None

I have never in recent years received the level of customer service displayed by ABF personnel.  They did everything they said that they would do plus much more.  Their professionalism, credibility, honestly, and trustworthiness went far ...

Pros: Helped us with the trucking ramps/truck doors on the day of the move.
Cons: TERRIBLE, UNRELIABLE SERVICE-BELONGINGS NOT SECURE/SAFE!!!! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!!

The worker from ABF came out to the trailer to install/secure the "wall".  He/ABF secured the wall because we didn't know how to do it properly.  However; their procedure for securing the "wall" is/was inappropriate and didn't secure our stuff! ...

Pros: Delivered as promised & not overpriced
Cons: Tall space to pack

We recently moved from Florida to PA we used 18 feet of trailer space and was charged $1637.00 We had no problems, the truck was delivered on time. So far we found no broken items, except 2 book shelves but it was our packing fault. Overall this company delivers exactly what they say, I only wish they offered more coupons & discounts.
No need to worry with company! Just know how to pack the truck & you will be alright

Pros: Trailer arrived earlier. Low cost. Not having to drive a truck cross country
Cons: Loading the trailer is a lot of work

We just completed a move cross country from Washington to Oklahoma. Everything went smoothly and the trailer even arrived several days earlier than estimated. We packed everything very carefully but thing still got scratched. Pretty much anything not encased in cardboard or wrapped in blankets will get scratched. Also about half of the ropes that I used to tie down the load snapped, so I would recommend using very strong ropes or straps as the load can shift. The bulkhead was a little damaged but it is just a divider and will not hold any weight securely. Our trailer packing strategy involved standing couches vertically and filling around them with boxes. We placed long odd shaped things like bikes on top of the load. Finally, we placed our mattress and box springs at the end and secured with rope.

Pros: Price is right. Prompt and very courteous service.
Cons: None- and I mean it.

Trailer and ramp show-up at old house on time.
We packed it.
Trailer and ramp show-up at new house 2000 miles away on time.
We unpacked it.
Paid $2600 instead of $5600 for full service. Exactly as estimate said.
There's no other choice for moving.

Pros: Cheap, safe
Cons: Lot of planning required.

Moved from Pittsburgh, PA to Portland, OR. Some Highlights of the move.
1. The driver was on time to drop of the trailer.
2. Had no problem with the bulkhead. We got a newer trailer. The threw in the ramp for free.
3. Arrived in 5 working days. Tracking worked well.
4. Exactly on time to drop and pick up the trailer in Portland.
5. Very courteous and excellent customer service.

Some suggestions.
1. Pack very well. Recommendation on this board were very useful. There is no such thing as over packing.
2. Do cover your stuff with a tarp. Our trailer carried some black powder that could have made the boxes and furniture dirty. No water leaks.
3. Make sure about parking arrangements on either end.

Hope people find this review. Other reviews on the page helped me a lot so decided to spend the time writing one.
