The rating breakdown

5 of the 46 ratings in Google’s published star breakdown for U-Pack are one or two star.

Worked out from 46 ratings. That is enough to publish but few enough that one more review moves it noticeably, so read it as a hint rather than a measurement.

Most useless company on the Island. Complete disregard of customer service. They won't even take the time to pick up the phone and call the building that you are moving into to make arrangements regarding parking. If you want a company that just sites policies for their lack of customer service this is your company. Use PODS and spend a little more for the services that you paid for. Otherwise be prepared to rent a U-HAUL, unpack the containers, load them on the truck, move it to your property and unload it.

My cubicle was picked up on June 12th in Sacramento, was at the dock in Southern California 2 days later, and then sat there for 9 days. I was given estimated delivery date of June 26-28 once the item arrived in Southern California, but now am told it should be on the ship tomorrow with arrival 8-10 days later (meaning July 6th).

What satisfied customers point to

The same method, applied to the four and five star reviews. Most movers are praised for the same handful of things, so what is missing here is often as telling as what is present.

  • Turned up when they said5 · 15%
  • Worked hard and fast5 · 15%
  • Kept in touch4 · 12%
  • Careful with belongings1 · 3%

Counted across the 33 four and five star reviews we have read for U-Pack. A review can mention more than one thing.

Move from Hawaii to East coast. Their support was great, they arrived on time, delivered on time, and their drivers took great care to set down container carefully and were also very also very friendly with my wife. 10/10 would use again.

Upack itself was absolutely fantastic. Quick and easy, they took care of it all. I did however use there trusted partner company Mr. car shipper becuase of there recommendation and I couldn’t be more upset with them. I sent two vehicles, one came as it should the other arrived basically destroyed Becuase of damage that happened during shipping. When I reached out multiple times to get help, they told me sorry it’s not there problem. I’m now dealing with insurance and my lawyer over the issue.

From the beginning working with the online booking to having a Rep call me direct was beyond impressive this day and age. Knowledgeable, flexible and courteous!!!! When we loaded the pod, the team at the shipping yard (which was very tidy and organized) offered assistance several times ;) then when the pod made it to California..... that team hit the mark! Courteous, they don't leave you on hold for ages, kept us informed and were very flexible!!!!

We're relocating to Ohio after living on Oahu for 25 years. Checked out a number of companies which provide you pack container shipping. This was the cheapest so contacted the main office. We wanted to send a couple of cubes in advance and up to 2 more in a 4-5 months when our renovation is complete and house sells. Got an estimate. Was contacted about a month later with a reduced price if we could ship 1 or 2 cubes by the end of the year. We just finished that move. Went off without a hitch.

What Google’s own summary highlights

Google surfaces topics it finds across a business’s reviews. They skew positive across every mover we hold, so treat them as a summary of what this company is praised for rather than a balanced picture.
