I’m totally stuck and need some advice! I’m moving from Phoenix to Portland and after looking through all my options I think using U-Boxes will generally be the most convenient and cost effective. However I need some help understanding the whole process, especially when it comes to apartments. I’m planning on renting 2-3 boxes and hiring movers through U-Haul to bring the boxes, load them and take them back.

My apartment in Phoenix is medium sized with buildings in the middle and a road that wraps around the outside with parking lining the surrounding back walls. The interior side of the road that lines the apartment complex is an entirely red curb/fire lane (people do always park moving trucks here, there aren’t any other options) There is some street parking on a residential road but it’s a little bit of a walk with no easy direct route to my apartment. Also, I have one covered parking spot.

Okay so I’ve tried my best to layout the apartment complex for you guys and my question is where would they put the U-Boxes? Do they have to set them down? If they have to set them down would they put them on the residential street or in my one parking spot? Do they bring them all at once or one at a time? Would they even be able to bring the U-Boxes and load them at my apartment? Should I plan to bring my things to a U-Haul location and load them there instead?

I’m so stressed, has anyone dealt with anything like this?
