Now that we are in the house, I thought that I would post some reviews of the folks we dealt with to do this project. Some were great; some were OK; some were…. well…. horrid.
So, I will trickle out these reviews over the weeks. Keep in mind that I am not selling any of this. I am simply reporting our experiences with the people and services.
So here is the first one, PODS. The overall rating I give them is a thumbs up.

I was a bit leery of PODS when we started because they just seemed a bit too slick, but their service ended up being very useful for our move out of the old house. Being able to take a month to move our stored items from the house into the POD was just what we needed. If we had been required to pack trucks and move the stuff into self storage it would have taken much longer. Once the POD was in the driveway we got a triage going. We went through the items and put each one in one of three places:
- Trash
- POD
- Apartment
It worked well.
The delivery and pickup people showed up on time and got the job done in spite of low hanging wires and snow storms. They were polite and efficient. The POD was clean as a whistle when it arrived… we tried to give it back to them in the same condition. The stuff in the POD arrived intact and undamaged.
The POD was not cheap, so if you have a fixed set of items all ready to go and need to store them, you can probably find cheaper storage. But for what we had to do, the POD worked out well.
