I moved last year. I looked into so many companies that drop off a box for later pickup. Only one of them (U-Haul) published their prices and they were very affordable.

They published their price because their marketing advantage was price.

This is why if there is no price I'm out - I'm getting taken advantage of

I agree, I pretty much won’t do “Contact Us for Pricing” unless it’s construction work or something, but man, have you seen the Uhaul moving box in person?
It’s a wooden pallet with wobbly plywood walls and a tarp on it. It looks like something you’d see in a homeless camp.
I’d do it again but damn, the price definitely matches the quality.

Well, sometimes you don't want the cheapest either.

And when it arrives on your doorstep, you realize that you just rented a wooden pallet with wobbly plywood walls and a thick vinyl tarp over it 😂

It looked like a hobo’s shack!

I’d still choose them again due to cost but I was shocked at the actual product. Lead with the price indeed.
