Somewhere Between Diy And Done By Someone Else

When it comes time to move from Point A to Point B there are a variety of different methods one can use

. One of the best options out there is to use moving pods, which combine the advantages of a do-it-yourself move with the advantages of having a professional moving company.

Moving pods have one major advantage, and that comes into play at the destination end of the move. You know all that stuff you have that you don't actually want but that you can't throw away? Most people move it into a storage unit and then gradually filter it into their homes, but moving pods become the storage unit as soon as they're dropped off at the new house. That means that, in addition to all your don't-want-can't-throw-away items, you can also move everything you do want into your new home incrementally.

A little caution helps to maximize this advantage and to keep it from turning into a disadvantage. During the stress and chaos of moving, it's easy to load a moving pod in a haphazard way, mixing up the items that you're going to need right away with the items that you want to leave in storage for a while. If you do this, you'll find yourself having to completely unload the pod at your destination to get all of your necessary items out.

You can avoid this problem with only a little added expense by using two smaller moving pods instead of one larger one. This gives you a convenient way to organize as you go, dramatically reducing the likelihood of inaccurate loading.

Using two smaller pods, you can identify one of them as the "right now" pod and the other as the "storage pod." Things you're going to need right away (like clothes, dishes, necessary furniture, lamps etc.) go into the "right now" pod. Things that you are planning to store for a while and move in incrementally (such as unnecessary furniture, old or out-of-season coats, and everything from the old attic) can go in the "storage pod."

In addition to the storage benefit, moving pods present real advantages of convenience during the move itself. The pod company drops a pod off at your old house, and you can load it on your time, rather than rushing because of the ticking clock of a truck rental. Once you have it filled, the company hauls it to your new house for you. Anybody who's driven a maximum-size rental truck up a winding mountain road knows how beneficial that can be.

One thing to watch out for is the potential of damage due to jostling during the process of lifting the pod on and off the truck for hauling. Most pod companies provide detailed instructions for even and balanced loading to prevent against this, and those instructions should be followed carefully.

With a few precautions and some forethought, using moving pods can dramatically simplify your next move. You can take your time loading and unloading, too, which will save you headaches, stress, and back pain.
