Local Moves with Pods Storage
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
We recently moved from one part of the city to another. We always hired a moving companies for our previous moves. The movers would come in with a big team and start moving and packing multiple rooms at the same time. 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. The pods storage concept did not even cross our minds. We only saw two ways to do this. We hire movers or we do it all ourselves.
We decided to try something new this time. Upon on a recommendation from a friend, we used one of those pods storage companies. They delivered the storage unit to our curb. It was a big square metal thing (they come in different sizes) with big doors and a huge lock. For eight days, that pods storage unit sat conveniently for our moving needs. 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. The pods storage company even put us in touch with some movers to handle the heavy lifting for us. The day before the container was scheduled to be picked up, the movers moved our furniture and heavy boxes for us. 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 slowly unloaded the rest at our leisure, as we got settled in that week. 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.
In the end, it was much cheaper and much more relaxing to use pods storage than a traditional moving company. 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.
