When it comes to moving, the problems are infamous and seem to never change. Enormous, out-dated rented moving trucks operated by you, the inexperienced mover. Pushing bulky furniture up a rickety moving ramp. And yes, the pressure of getting everything loaded, moved, and unloaded by the arbitrary deadline of noon or 5 p.m. the next day or risk being charged extra.

Anyone looking for simple, secure, and cost-effective alternative to all that would do well to consider PODS as a 21st-century solution.

PODS, which are also known as Portable On Demand Storage, allow you to pick up, store, and move just about anything to just about anywhere, and on just about any schedule you want. This system of large, locking containers combines elements of a traditional moving van with a storage facility, but leaves out a good deal of the trouble associated with both.

The entire process could not be simpler. To order up your very own storage container, you visit the web site, enter some details, and in surprisingly short order, a container is delivered right to you. Another major advantage is the fact that the container sits nicely at ground level, which eliminates a ton of hassle and back-straining labor involved with loading and later unloading very large items. PODS just make moving your items so much easier. Most pod services are free from time constraints, as well. You take as long as you need--some people will take even up to a month--to pack up the pod as you see fit, because there are no unreasonable deadlines and “overage fees“. That’s right. No scrambling around to get everything done in one day, no grudging payment of late charges, just sweet, sweet freedom and the time to do the job right.

There is no reason for concern about security while you take your sweet time packing, because you and only you hold the key to your storage container. The knowledge that no one else has access to your belongings is a comfort, as is the fact that there will be no late-night drive across town to visit a storage unit or return a moving truck. This assurance of safety is one that similar moving and storage options simply cannot compete with, and it comes at a price much more reasonable than most.

When the pod is securely packed the way you like it packed, all you have to do is make a quick phone call to the service and arrange to have your container picked up. Then, a truck driver who is actually experienced in driving huge, unwieldy things from one place to another shows up to take it nearly anywhere you want it to go. This can sometimes be arranged for the very next day, or later if you wish. You never have to figure out how to park and maneuver an enormous moving van, or sheepishly ask if the truck rental company has anything that isn’t a stick-shift. There is no cursing at the fuel gauge of a rented truck and searching for filling stations as you begin to realize the true definition of the term “gas guzzler”.

Instead, a driver delivers your pod to its final destination, and once again you unpack it on your own schedule, and you smile at a job well done.
