Question:

Has anyone had experience with a do it yourself move (to another city) using a pod.?

I am referring to the system where you pay a company, they drop off a quot;podquot; (which is like a metal freight container) and you do the packing yourselfThe cothen comes by when you call them after a couple of days and a truck with a crane picks up the pod and drives it to your new homeYou then unload the pod yourselfHow was your experience? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Answer:

We used it when we moved 2 years agoIt was awesomeWe had it delivered 2 weeks before we moved (and had it for 2 weeks after we moved)We used the Pod solely for our boxes and smaller piecesBy doing this, we could load it at our own paceWe could pack a couple of boxes, take them out to the pod and not have tons of boxes around our houseIt really made it a much less stressful environmentWe then hired movers for our big furniture pieces Once we moved, we were able to get a couple of boxes out of the pod, unpack and leave everything else in the podOur house wasn't crammed with unopened boxesWe just unpacked a few boxes, set up where that stuff went and then went out for more boxesOur new house stayed neat and cleanWe were able to take our time unpacking and didn't have to stare at all these boxes reminding us of how much work we had to doLOL If/when we move again, we'll definitely be using the PODS againBesides, it was pretty reasonable cost wise.
