PODS

Sunday, December 5th, 2010

If you’ve ever found yourself in a situation where you have a period of limbo between Point A and Point B and have nowhere to house your belongings, you might want to consider the POD option of temporary storage. POD (which stands for Portable On Demand moving) have been around since 1998 and has revolutionized the way our ever-mobile society handles the often tedious task of moving. The company delivers an empty storage container to the location of your choice and leaves it for you to fill and pack at your convenience and at your pace. You then call them back once the container is filled and they store it at a local facility until it is time for you to actually need your items at which time they will move the container for you across town or clear across country if needed. If you’re worried about security, worry not. You lock the container and retain the only key. And if you live in a wintery climate and worry about snow or water damage before your POD is taken to the storage facility you can rest assured that the containers are weather-resistant and they have been designed to withstand winds of up to 110 mph when partially filled. The containers come in three sizes: 8x7x7, 8x8x12, and 8x8x16 to fit pretty much every need. The company also offers moving supplies like boxes, wrapping paper, and tape to make your moving experience truly a one-stop affair. We love the concept of PODS, and we think you will, too.
