Portable Storage Tips

General

• Always secure a contents protection program.
• Create an inventory list of all items.
• Protect items with moving pads, sheets or light blankets.
• Label boxes or containers on all sides.
• Consider clear plastic containers. Clear plastic containers allow you to see contents.
• Pack lighter boxes on top of heavier ones.
• Do not store any toxins or flammables.
• Do not store any food items.

Furniture

• Apply furniture oil to wooden pieces before storing for added protection.
• Disassemble larger items such as tables, bed frames, etc. to save space.
• Put all hardware in bags and label accordingly.
• Use paper pads when stacking furniture to prevent scratching.

Electronics

• Original boxes for electronics are best. Otherwise packing items separately in bubble wrap, cushion foam, and even wadded up newspaper will help.
• Label corresponding cords and components by using color coded stickers.

Appliances

• Clean appliances well prior to storing.
• Leave doors opened slightly, to prevent mildew.

Pictures and Mirrors

• Wrap pictures that are small and stand them on end in boxes.
• For larger ones, buy special picture moving boxes.
• Always store mirrors or framed pieces on end, not flat.

Crystal, China, and Glassware

• Buy boxes designed for this with dividers.
• Wrap each item with paper or foam.
• Label these boxes as FRAGILE.

Clothing, Curtains, Drapes

• Use special wardrobe boxes or garment bags to hang items.
• Hang items on non-rusting hangers.
• Dresser drawers can be used to save space for storing smaller items.
• If storing wool items, use cedar chips and/or mothballs to prevent moth damage.

On-site storage with PODS
(Remember PODS Containers may be kept on-site at your location, or in one of our Storage Centers)

• If storing your container in a deed-restricted community, review your home-owner association's guidelines for container placement.
• When storing your container on a street, please remember to adhere to local ordinances.

PODS, the best move you’ll ever make.

PODS makes moving less stressful by removing some of the hassles and headaches of moving.

Move at your own pace.

PODS allows you to pack your moving container at your leisure. Load your secure moving container as you complete packing your belongings. This keeps packed items out of your way and may reduce breakage. No deadlines. No time pressure. You move when you're ready.

Move across town or across the country.

PODS is ideal for both local and long-distance moves. We have an extensive moving network that covers 48 U.S. states, Canada, and Australia. PODS eliminates the need to rent a moving truck. You no longer need to move by driving a moving truck through unfamiliar territory, under low bridges, and backing that big moving truck into tight corners. We safely move your secure container for you.

Moving into your new home is more enjoyable.

Take your time to enjoy setting up your new home for the next chapter of your life by unloading your moving container at your own pace. Place each item in that special spot, as you unload your moving container. This will help reduce moving around your belongings once you put them in your new home. It will also remove the hassle of having to unload your moving truck in a day or having all of your items dumped into a few rooms or worse yet the garage.

Pre – move: prepare your home to sell.

Prior to moving, use a secure PODS moving container to de-clutter your home. Clutter-free, spacious interiors allow you and potential home buyers to truly appreciate all that your home has to offer, and can result in greater home sales profit and a quicker sale. As an added benefit, your PODS moving and storage container will already be pre-packed and ready to move across town or across country.
