Hello Aneeza, best way is to weight each piece on a bathroom scale or weigh yourself and then hold each item.
Having said that most people do not go over the 1000lbs unless you are shipping a lot of books or gym weights or something real heavy.
If you do go over the weight limit we charge an additional $2 per pound for each pound over weight.
I hope that helps,
Cheers

Sorry not us, we do not ship books, please check with the vendor you purchased the book from.

Hello Coleen, thanks for the question, we have a tool here that opens the padlock so feel free to lock it.
Enjoy the long weekend and “Happy Packing”

We are shipping our things to France from Texas.and had a Pakrat container delivered to our home today. This container will then be shipped to South Carolina.. Once it arrives, it will be opened and the contents removed to weigh and measure before loading it onto a shared shipping container. The Pakrat driver gave us a padlock with 2 keys. if I have the keys, how does Upakweship open the Pakrat container on arrival in South Carolina?
Thank you

Hello Vincent, thats a good question.
We actually have a page on our web site listing things that can not be shipped. https://upakweship.com/community/moving-tips/prohibited-items/

And also a video about this here. https://youtu.be/Uze9_BJ_DF4?si=i6vXBvCfnuIF9YQd

Power tools are fine if drained and small batteries are ok if drained and shipped unattached from the tool
I hope that helps and thanks for asking the International Moving Doctor.
Happy Packing!

I want to be sure about packing certain household items, eg: Aerosol cleaning sprays>?
Power lawn trimming devices (Drained of Gas )

I guess most helpful would be complete list of prohibited items
Thank you

Hello Heath, thanks for the question regarding storage bins. Plastic / rubber bins or tubs are great for shipping on pallets and U Crates as long as they are the good quality tough ones. The semi see through ones are not thick enough and the ones at the bottom of the pile can crack under the weight of the ones on top and cause damage. So, use good quality ones and you are fine. I am not sure who makes them but I have seen a lot come through our warehouse recently that are black with either red or yellow lids which seem nice and strong.
Check our Instagram pictures and you tube channel to see pictures of pallets loaded with these.
If you need a quote for the move to Greece, just click here. https://us.bigin.online/org895945384/forms/upakweship-quote-request-from-usa

I hope that helps, let me know if I can help further and just to let you know I am very jealous of you being able to move to Greece!
Cheers
The International Moving Doctor.

We’re trying to figure out what to pack our belongings in, boxes or 27 gallon storage bins (the ones Costco sells). The storage bins are nice for keeping stuff dry and are easy to move, but will they be problematic to ship?
