Borrow-A-Box℠

MOVE GREEN CINCINNATI!

We realize it has been about a week since we last posted and we hope some of the things we will be sharing over the next few weeks make up for that.

One of our big announcements is a new program we call Borrow-A-Box℠.

Borrow-A-Box℠ is an enviromentally friendly alternative to buying another moving box that will just get torn up, crushed or thrown away. We provide you with a container made from recycled materials that is specifically designed for moving.

The suprising part is because our Borrow-A-Box℠ can be used time and time again, we can rent them for less than you can buy a wasteful cardboard box.

Thank you to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

There are a lot of real charities in Cincinnati that need all the community support they can get. We could buy advertising for their fundraisers or show up to hand out flyers but we prefer to really help.

One local charity that recently needed assistance is the Tri State Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Yesterday they held an amazing event downtown at the ChemEd building and afterwards needed someone to move 30 spinning bikes.

We truly appreciate that the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society trusted us to be their movers.

While we move bikes for our moving customers all the time, a spinning bike is about 100lbs heavier because of the sturdier frame and large weight that replaces the front wheel. That means we moved almost 2 tons of bikes in just under 3 hours!

Still our team was ready to help such a great cause. In fact we were so excited we forgot to take pictures but as soon as we get some from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society we will post them.

Until then, please go to http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/all_chap and do what you can to help such a great cause.

UHauls new UBox seen for 1st time

UHaul's new UBox is basically a plywood crate about the size of a walk in closet. As stated its a moving container made out of plywood but they do cover it in a very thick vinyl covering that you can zip closed.

Who would store their valuables in a plywood storage container wrapped in vinyl?

Well evidently not many people move with them. They have been in the Cincinnati about a year and we have not witnessed a single moving customer actually use one. We have heard a lot about these from the UHaul employees but only seen them in UHaul's parking lot

That is until today.

UHaul UBox Truck

We passed it on the way to unload a moving truck and on our way back it was still there. So we decided to stop and take a few pictures. Now we have no idea why a state highway patrolman had it sitting on the side of the highway for so long but we thought that in itself is pretty funny.

Sorry about the blurriness of some of the pics, we had just gotten done moving in the snow and were to cold to pay that much attention.

Here is a picture of the UBox container from a different angle
