Yeah, I can attest to the U-Haul.com moving experience. Not a good day for me.

Oh yeah!  I rented a truck to get everything moved to and from NNL East this year.  U-Haul still advertises $19.99 a day, but they get $1.89 a mile!  That's when I realized I had already $20 in miles just getting the truck from their lot to my house!   I asked for a van and wound up with a clapped out 150,000 mile GMC 10' box truck.  The darn thing shook on the turnpike,  and it was a 2 1/2 hour ride each way. Not fun.  The passenger door popped open whenever I hit a good size bump. I had no passenger so I tied the seat belt to it.  It was missing the driver's side sun visor.  All in all like borrowing your poor cousin's truck!

The fun part was returning it Sunday morning.  When I got there at 8:45am, there was a lot full of people.  Seems the guys who were to open up never did show up!  There were folks with express pickup, but there were other trucks in front of theirs!  There was a couple who needed to be out of an apartment that day!  I left the keys and a note in their drop off box.  They finally logged my truck in at 12:30pm and tried to charge me for an extra day.  Never again!

Wow! Totally different bad experience than mine. My wife and I bought a house last year, and used U-Haul. com to book a local crew to load and unload our truck. We picked up and drove it. All they had to do was load & unload. They never showed up at our old house, claiming they just got the order that morning. Luckily my step-son showed up to help with the heavy stuff, or I would have been stuck with only female help. The local boss man said he would come himself, if he had to, since all of his crews were booked (yeah, he never did). Our appointment was for 8:30 am, and two guys finally showed up at our new place at 12:30. They did have us totally unloaded, and belongings placed in the right locations by 1:00. But we had to pay full price, and were promised a 50% refund. Yeah, that never happened, and the boss man refused our calls and blocked our numbers.

It's good news, he has added some new items and still offering his F-250 conversion kits. He has expanded his off road tire and wheel offering and has some more Mopar wheels and wheel covers!
