My blogging passion about self-storage
If you use a traditional moving company, the movers will have to haul your belongings off the truck and put them into storage (with all the battering that involves), then they will need to reload them onto the truck to deliver them to your new address. In essence, you move twice and pay twice. With storage pods, your possessions stay secure in the pod throughout the process, so they run far less risk of damage, and the price for storing the pods and reloading them when you are ready for them is factored into the fee. You move once and pay once. On top of that, storage pod companies are used to storing pods for a lengthy period, so you will not need to reassure a moving company that expected you to call for delivery within a week of your first move.
