All You Need to Know About Pods

Moving can be an incredibly busy time in life especially because it is often accompanied by other events such as a marriage, divorce, or graduation. When you're already that busy packing and moving everything can seem to be an almost overwhelming task. So why not use pods to help make is a little easier?

How can pods make your move easier, and how can you get them?

Pods are storage containers that you can rent to move and store your belongings. You can pick from various sizes to accommodate your needs, and all you need to do is fill it up to get it ready to go. In terms of renting a pod you have many options. You'll need to see which companies service both the pickup and drop off areas you need, but one of the companies with the widest reach is PODS.

Although PODS is only one of many companies offering rental services they have become popular because of some of the extra services and flexibility they provide. They will deliver the pods directly to your home or business as early as the next business day after you order. This speed and service is all designed to make the process as convenient as possible for you.

Beyond convenience they offer the peace of mind that comes with knowing your belongings will be safe and secure during transport and storage. The loading and unloading of course is up to you.

They minimize damage during transport by using a hydraulic lift system to move the pods. The lift system and trained drivers together help keep your items from shifting and breaking during the move. The containers are also water and wind resistant to prevent any harm to the contents as a result of weather. For anyone still nervous there is also an option to purchase comprehensive protection programs as well.

Once your belongings make it safely onto the truck and to the storage facility there is still the concern that something could be stolen. To prevent this PODS keep all storage containers as secure facilities. You are welcome to gain access at any time by calling customer service and scheduling a visit. Just be sure to do this 24 to 48 hours in advance. Also for your protection, you are the only one with a key to your container for the duration of your rental period.

Pods are just one way to make your move easier on yourself as well as your loved ones. In addition to using pods you can also hire someone to pack everything into the pods or even use a professional moving company. It is well worth the expense to know your stuff is safely packed away for when you need it back.
