If you have ever experienced what a pain it is to move, you know that there never seems to be enough room for all of the belongings you seem to have acquired over the years. A great invention to help movers keep their belongings organized are portable moving pods.

So what are moving pods? PODS, or (portable on demand storage) is a moving and storage system where they drop off, pick up, and transport your stuff, to basically anywhere you need it to go. It is ultimately a combination moving truck and storage unit.

The great thing about pods is that they alleviate a lot of the leg work that comes with moving. Since they are level with the ground, there is not as much lifting as there would be loading and unloading a moving truck.

PODS also offer added security that a traditional storage unit cannot offer. They are humidity and weather retardant, and only you hold the key to the pod. You do not have to worry about tons of people coming and going from a storage facility, and you are ultimately responsible for the safety of your belongings.

PODS are also incredibly cost effective. You can save money on hiring the long distance movers, and just pack the pod full of all of your things. They will then pick it up, drop it off, and you are free to unload the pod at your leisure. There is a one time fee that you pay, and you could even keep the pod for over a month if you wanted to! That is the beauty of these portable pods, is they allow you to go about your move at your own pace.

Pods are great for both long term and short term storage needs, and do not necessarily need to be if you are moving! You can use them to store anything you want, for as long as you want. They are definitely worth checking out.
