We recently moved from one part of the city to another. In all our other moves, we used a traditional packing and moving service. It always involved a whirlwind team of people at our house who packed things right from under your nose. I am a bit of a control freak and that always left me feeling completely out of balance. We usually spent a couple weeks slowly packing up the things we did not want the movers packing. We would slowly dismantle the house and become engulfed with a sea of boxes. As we had no room to move during our weeks of packing, we longed for a one room to just stack all the boxes where they would be out of the way. If only we would have known about pods storage. We only saw two ways to do this. We hire movers or we do it all ourselves.
This move was different. We went with pods storage, after researching it a bit. We did not have to do much. After a quick scheduling call, the company brought the storage container to our driveway. The container was very secure and made of heavy steel. They come in all sizes, but we had to get a pretty big one for the contents of our house. We had the pods storage container for a little over a week. We would come home from work, have some dinner and a glass of wine (okay, I am making it sound more enjoyable than it really was), pack a couple boxes and move them out of the house and into the container. We did not have to rush as we had done with so many of our other moves. We decided to hire some people to take care of all the heavy stuff and furniture moving for us. The pods storage company gave us a recommendation, so we did not even have to do any of the leg work to find movers. The movers came the day prior to the container being picked up. The container was picked up the next day and immediately delivered to our new abode.
The day you move can try even the most patient person. But if you also have to unpack the same day you packed, it can bring you to tears. The pods storage container can sit in the new location for a few days, allowing you to slowly unpack it. Our furniture and heavy boxes were offloaded by movers (we hired the same guys we hired in the packing phase) that day. We took our time to unpack the rest, which allowed us to get organized and not feel overwhelmed. When we were all unpacked, the pods storage people picked the container up and we were all done. You can also store your unit via the pods storage company in an air conditioned and heated warehouse, if you are making a long distance move.
It was much less stressful and more cost effective to hire pods storage. We would have probably paid the same amount to rent a moving truck for a weekend, as we did to have that container for the few weeks we had to pack and unpack. Pods storage helped us be more organized, because we could take our time and situate and unpack things more efficiently.
