Should You Use a PODS Unit to Move?

There is little doubt that moving can be one of the most stressful events of all time which may leave you wondering if you should go the traditional route or use a PODS unit to move. Each way will represent a cost, so why should you even consider PODS versus the time tested way?

Think about what the traditional move means. First you have to reserve a moving truck way ahead of time so that you know you will be getting it on the particular weekend that you need it for. Then you have to hope that the company didn’t overbook reservations leaving you with a truck that is more or less that you needed. Next you must bribe several of your friends to give up their weekends in order to move all your things, rush to load and unload the moving truck, and rush to get the moving truck back before the company closes, making sure it is filled with the right amount of fuel and has been swept out. Sounds appealing, doesn’t it?

If all that sounds like it is just too much, then consider a PODS unit. To start with you can call PODS toll free and talk with a customer service representative about how much stuff you have. They will be able to help you determine exactly how big of a PODS unit you need in order to adequately move all your things in one shot. If you have ever rented a moving truck thinking it was big enough, only to have to make several trips because your estimation was off, then you know the frustration it brings. This just doesn’t happen with PODS units as the customer service rep will know just how big a unit you will need eliminating any and all guesswork.

When you use a PODS unit to move, you also make the decision to move at your own pace. That’s because your PODS unit will be delivered to your driveway whenever you want and you can then load it up at your convenience. Take a day to do so or a week, it doesn’t matter. Because you pay for the time you have the unit, it is all up to you.

Once your PODS unit is packed full the company will come out and pick it up then deliver it to your new driveway, wherever that may be. Once there you can again take your time in unloading all your possessions. Once your PODS unit is totally empty you then only have to call the company one last time and they will take away the empty PODS unit.

When you take advantage of a PODS unit to move, you eliminate a lot of the headaches that traditionally come with moving. No moving truck to rent, no friends to bribe, no worry over driving the moving truck or doing anything else to it for that matter. Best of all, you can pack up and unpack your things during the week, a little bit at a time, and leave your weekend wide open.
