Considering Using Pods

After complaining to a friend about the hassle of moving, I’m considering PODS for my next long term move. Think about a typical move:

1. Go pick up a moving truck.
2. Load everything into a moving truck.
3. Unload everything into a storage unit.
4. Return the truck.
5. Weeks or months later, go pick up another moving truck.
6. Load all your stuff back into a moving truck.
7. Unload the truck into your new place.
8. Return the truck.

By using PODS (Portable On Demand Storage), you can cut the process into two steps. All you would have to do is load the unit and then unload it. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had some very bad luck with moving truck rentals. Several times, even though I’ve made a reservation online, they don’t have the size of truck I’ve reserved. In a few instances they haven’t even had an alternative available. I would love to avoid that step in my next move. When considering the cost of using a service such as PODS, I’ll keep in mind the time and frustration you’ll save…it might be worth it! And by using a PODS promo code, I know I'll get a 5% discount off the cost!
