“U-Pack’s ReloCube worked well overall for our move from Los Angeles to Raleigh. The cube was sturdy, felt safer/better built than a U-Haul container, and we had no moisture issues in transit. Capacity was impressive for a 1 bed/1 bath worth of furniture (we fit a sleeper sofa, queen bed, desk/chair, multiple shelving units, patio set, plus boxes), but because we packed it to the max we could only use minimal strapping and a few items still got banged up. Use plenty of moving blankets and secure everything aggressively.
The biggest downside was logistics: U-Pack couldn’t pick up in our neighborhood due to local restrictions, so we had to hire movers to haul everything to their Pico Rivera service center, which added over $800. On delivery, they gave a 24-hour window but arrived early, and pickup was scheduled two days later (no same-day pickups), so plan for permits if your area/state requires one to leave the cube on the street overnight.
Price for one cube was $1,998 + tax, and you can reserve a spare cube for $2,997 without committing to use it. One small service miss: when we arrived at Terminal 150, no one was waiting at reception even though we called ahead to confirm our cube, but we were able to get it sorted. Overall, I’d still use them again.”
“Awesome company with great customer service. And there’s nothing better than multi-generational family business that is woven into the heart of LA while strengthening the fiber of California’s economy!”
“I love FlateRate. Again, an outstanding job moving me. I have used them several times and signed up after working with Lewis at the company and I thought the quote was very fair. The actual movers took great care packing my stuff, they were calm and efficient and nothing was broken when I unpacked. They set up everything that was agreed on in advance, and it was all done in a reasonable amount of time including a stop at storage. Everything was done professionally, and I would highly recommend FlatRate. Based on my previous experience I went with them. They were the only quote I requested from any moving company and then signed with them. I can't say enough about how much appreciate Flat Rate .”
“Amazing company! Great communication from the beginning to end. I had been so stressed out, but hiring them was honestly the best thing I could have done. When moving the furniture, they were efficient and conscientious. Everyone was very friendly and polite. I highly recommend this company. I'll definitely be hiring them again.”
