Storage

My sister moved into her new house last week. For a month before the move, she had a POD in her yard, making it easier for her to move things. Everyday she would move a few boxes to the POD, and when they were ready to move, the POD was picked up and delivered to the new house. There was no moving van, just a couple of trips with her husband's truck to get the furniture to the new house.

The only problem she had was when the POD people picked up the POD early to put in storage. My sister forgot that she had the pick up scheduled, and didn't have anything in the POD secured. When it was redelivered, most of the boxes were thrown all over the place. Luckily, nothing was broken. She used lots of packing, and her things were well insulated.

I had no idea that we had a POD place in our area until my sister used them. I know we have lots of self storage places. In fact, they seem to be everywhere. If you are looking for a storage place, or a POD place, check out USstoragesearch.com. You can find storage places in your area, and compare units and prices. This makes it so easy to find exactly what you are looking for. If you are unsure about whether you want self storage or mobile storage (PODS), you can read their article about storing tips, and it can help you to decide. They have moving and packing tips, too, which I found very helpful. When we moved last year, we sold a lot of our furniture, because it wouldn't fit in the apartment. I wish we had gotten a storage unit and kept it all, so we would have it when we get a bigger place.

There's nothing I can do about it now. At least now I know for next time how easy it is to find a storage unit that meets my needs.
