I moved last year. I looked into so many companies that drop off a box for later pickup. Only one of them (U-Haul) published their prices and they were very affordable.

    They published their price because their marketing advantage was price.

    This is why if there is no price I'm out - I'm getting taken advantage of

    I agree, I pretty much won’t do “Contact Us for Pricing” unless it’s construction work or something, but man, have you seen the Uhaul moving box in person?
    It’s a wooden pallet with wobbly plywood walls and a tarp on it. It looks like something you’d see in a homeless camp.
    I’d do it again but damn, the price definitely matches the quality.

    And when it arrives on your doorstep, you realize that you just rented a wooden pallet with wobbly plywood walls and a thick vinyl tarp over it 😂

    It looked like a hobo’s shack!

    I’d still choose them again due to cost but I was shocked at the actual product. Lead with the price indeed.
