A few months ago, we sold our house and moved to a different neighborhood in the same city. 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. It always felt like I had no control of what was happening, in spite of that fact that it was my stuff and my house. Most of the time, we would have the majority of things packed ahead of time and let the movers do the big stuff. The more we packed, the more unrecognizable the rooms would become and we could barely move around all the stacks of boxes. We always wished we had a garage or staging area for all the packed boxes, so we could at least still have space to live while we were packing. If only we would have known about pods storage. Now that we are working professionals, we hire movers. That is just what we do.

We decided to try something new this time. We went with pods storage, after researching it a bit. 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 were able to take our time packing. We would pack a couple boxes after we would get home each evening and could stack them directly in the storage unit. 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.

Now moving day is always hectic. 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. We had the same movers who did the heavy lifting a couple days before come to the new place that day and unload the furniture. 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.
