Personally Procured Move Calculator

Welcome to the Personally Procured Move calculator website. By using this DITY move calculator, you will be able to calculate an estimate of how much profit you could make if you were to arrange your assigned military move yourself.

By using U-Pack, you safely pack your own stuff and they move it for you. U-Pack currently offers a $50 discount on all military moves with the coupon code MIL50. Click on the box below to get a discounted quote!

The way it works is that they bring the U-Pack moving containers to you. From there, they give you some days to load the items. U-Pack will come to pick the containers up and transport them to your new location, so you can avoid the hassle of driving a truck across the country.

Best of all, it’s easy to calculate your U-Pack moving costs. You can visit their website here.
