What Ive learned about storage pods
This makes it easy to get any nonessential items packed up and out of the way first-- and it's a lot more convenient than having 100 boxes underfoot while you pack. When the real moving day comes, you already have the less necessary things packed way in the back and you can add the more day to day stuff in. The portable storage company will send a truck to pick up the unit and deliver it to your new doorstep. On the other end, they will come pick up the portable storage container after you've called them to say you are all finished unpacking. Moving to a temporary location before your new home is ready? The storage company can store your stuff for a long period of time until you actually need it delivered.
