J.D. Power and Associates has just released its 2007 study on Full Service Movers, and the results indicate that satisfaction levels are consistently below expectations. For local moves, only 77% of customers using full service movers received their goods on time and undamaged. The results are worse for long distance movers, citing only 55% of customers receive their belongings intact and on time.

Why is SMARTBOX a smarter solution? Traditional moving companies operate on their schedule, not yours. Even worse, the prices can be outrageous. Prior to a move, the moving company will provide you with a rough estimate based on weight, labor and time. It is not until the move is complete that you get a detailed bill, often back-loaded with hidden fees. Ultimately, you never know how much it is going to cost until you get stuck with the bill. If this sounds familiar, then you need to try SMARTBOX. SMARTBOX offers the versatility of both a portable self storage company and a moving company. We will drop off our storage containers at your address for you to pack and load at your leisure. Because of their size, SMARTBOX units are great for organizing your move. Each unit holds one to one and a half rooms of furniture, allowing you to compartmentalize your household goods for moving day. When you are ready for the big day, SMARTBOX will pick up your loaded units and deliver them to your new address. SMARTBOX is also the perfect solution for untimely delays in your moving process. If you cannot close on your new property, but need to leave your old location, have SMARTBOX store your possessions in there climate controlled storage facility at no extra charge. Then when your new house is ready, SMARTBOX is there to complete the moving process.
