Forbes Home is the latest publication to endorse the advantages of U-Box containers, ranking them No. 1 on its “Best Moving Containers Of 2022” list. Forbes Home awarded U-Box 4.8 of a possible 5 stars, the only moving container to score that high.
U-Box Checks All the Award Boxes
In determining the top moving containers, Forbes Home evaluated 70 moving companies and “ranked the best of the container companies by taking a look at factors like nationwide availability, deposits and tracking for shipments, customer happiness, protection and insurance options, and storage availability. The best container moving companies shine in the areas of nationwide availability and customer happiness, which make up 45% of our weighting.”
Among the reasons cited for ranking U-Box first were: Newsweek ranking U-Haul No. 1 for customer service in the moving industry; its built-in affiliation with Moving Help®, a U-Haul-powered online marketplace where customers secure local moving labor services; instant and upfront price quotes online; shipment tracking; several moving insurance options; no fees for cancellation or date changes; and availability in every state. In fact, U-Box containers can be shipped anywhere in the world.
“The customer counts on U-Haul to be their moving and storage solutions expert,” stated Sam Shoen, Director of the U-Box program. “U-Box is perfect for those who do not want to travel with their goods, or need extra flexibility with timing and space issues.”
Ample Space, Worry-Free Flexibility
U-Box containers provide 257 cubic feet of storage and one-ton capacity (2,000 pounds). This generous space enables furniture, boxes and other belongings from up to one-and-a-half rooms, on average, to be stored safely inside each container. Customers can order as many as they need and only pay for what they use.

In addition to DIY movers utilizing U-Box for residential moves without the worry of driving a moving truck, many customers also have U-Box containers delivered to their homes for on-site storage during home-improvement projects.
Non-contact home delivery and pick-up is available, with customer goods transported by truck with gentle-ride suspension for safe shipping. Or customers can choose to save money and tow a U-Box trailer themselves.
The best part about U-Box is the flexibility it offers customers in planning their ideal move. Customers can have the containers shipped directly to their new home, or have them stored in a secure U-Haul facility until they know where they are going and determine when they are needed. And when plans change, U-Haul never charges a fee to change the date or cancel a reservation.
