I moved twice in the last year, and it was quite exhausting. What I didn’t have at my disposal, which may have made the moves easier, was a moving services marketplace app that lets you compare prices and read reviews, so I could find a moving service that would do the job right, and for a price I could afford. Honestly, I didn’t know where to look so I hired the first recommendation I got, and it was really up in the air whether they had a history of happy customers or not…I had no way to find out or compare.
Today I learned about Unpakt, the first web app that offers price comparisons and reviews to help you find a reputable moving service for what can otherwise be a very stressful process. It also lets you book online, and is available anywhere in the country. From search to booking, it takes less than an hour- one less headache during a major life change.
How does it work? Enter your info and compare moving companies with the exact prices and services. You can read the experiences of others in the reviews, and if you need time to think about it, save your search to come back to later, make changes, etc. If you decide to book your mover, you know exactly what you’ll be paying.
Unpakt has been featured in Real Simple and the NY Times, and named one of The Next Web’s Top 10 Apps for Home & Work. It’s a major time saver- no more googling or skimming through the phone book for moving companies, calling and waiting to hear back, shopping around and getting ball park estimates but nothing exact…there are no surprises (or disappointments), you know exactly what you are getting and paying.
This is how moving should be!

What a great app. Fortunately for us, my husband has a large family who always lends a helping hand when it comes to moving. Saves us a good chunk of money.
This will come in handy if I ever have to move again. Hopefully, that won’t be for a long, long time.
That’s pretty neat. I wonder if it works for international moves, too.
I have only moved twice…and I hope I never have to again!
This would have come in so helpful when I moved into my house.
No, I think it’s only national right now
We’ve lived in our home for almost five years now and don’t plan on moving anytime soon, however, when that time comes, I will absolutely be using a service to help!
I need to tell my parents about this!
I’ve moved so many times in my younger years that I’m fine if I never move again (well, maybe one more time into my dream home). If I hear of anyone moving, I’ll be sure to share this with them.
ah man! We just moved 2 weeks ago :/ I wish I knew about this app before then.
Moving IS exhausting!
Sounds like a fantastic App!
That’s a great service!
Man I wish I would have known about this before I moved!
THANK YOU for this! It will come in handy VERY soon!!
While we did have a lot of help, I regret not getting mover when we moved. next time!
I don’t plan to move for a long time but this sure would come in handy if I did.
I have no plans to move anytime soon, but will probably need to use a service next time. Too much stuff & now my friends are too old to be hauling furniture.
I went to the site to check it out a few months ago since we’re doing a large move soon – I’m having trouble getting my mind wrapped around the figure the “approximated” – a LOT more than I was expecting…sigh….
Great app!
I hate moving but I figure I will need to in the next year or two.
