Has anyone used Pods before to move?

My friend told me we should look into using Pods to move our house into a storage unit before we buy another home.  The price seems really reasonable.  I just was curious if any of you guys have used them before and how it went?

Re: Has anyone used Pods before to move?

  • My sister used one when she moved from Michigan to South Carolina and she had a great experience.  My Dad and FIL packed it really tightly and nothing came out broken.

  • My IL's used them this year for the same reason (they sold their house before they found a condo to buy).Overall they were very happy!! The POD people dropped it off in their driveway, we loaded it up and then they came back out to get it.

     I know that you have to give 5 days notice (or something like that) when you want your POD delivered, so keep that in mind when you actually do want to 'unpack.'

  • I've never used them, but my brothers girlfriend used them when she moved from Michigan to Texas.  She had an overall positive experience.  I think it took almost two weeks to get the POD down to Texas though.  I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

  • Thanks for the info!  We'll still be staying in Michigan so it should be a good experience then if we use Pods.  We'll be living at my parent's house for a month or so until we find our dream home and close on it.
