While moving to a new state or city can be an exciting chapter filled with new opportunities and a brand new start, getting your stuff from your old place to your new home is certainly not as exciting. Now, before you get into a funk about moving, know there are ways to make this process easier, manageable, and even fun, and that is PODS storage units! Let’s look at how you can use PODS moving and storage in your upcoming move and give you some extra tips to ensure your moving experience is the best you have ever had!

What is PODS?

PODS (Portable On Demand Storage) is your moving companion designed to make your life easier as you move by delivering some nifty storage options to your doorstep. PODS allow you to pack in advance and at your leisure so that moving day does not sneak up on you and leave you feeling overwhelmed and flustered! However, that is not all that PODS can do for you. There is a bucketload of other things. Let’s get into those things, shall we?

Why Choose PODS for Your Move?

1.  Flexibility at Its Best: One of the things that makes moving such a chore is the time crunch. But PODS gives you the option of hiring a container in advance. They deliver it to you, and you can slowly pack over months, so the process is easy.

2.   Convenience Convenience, Convenience: PODS is literally at your beck and call. You need not hire a truck or call friends and family to move your stuff; you can simply call PODs. They will not only drop off however many containers you need at your doorstep but return when you are done packing to pick up your container and have it waiting for you at the doorstep of your new home.

3.  Space for Your Stuff: You could have a household filled with belongings or quite a few bits and bobs. PODS does not discriminate. There is enough space for your things!

4.  Safety and Security: Say you are an art collector with some pretty delicate and expensive pieces you want to move to your next place. Never fear. PODS has safe and secure solutions that come with security and things like temperature control in their PODS to make sure your valuables will not get damaged or stolen!

Tips for Moving Like a Pro with PODS

PODS storage units are only a part of the “making moving easy “ plan. Here are the things to make sure your move is easy.

1.  Plan and Organize

Every great endeavor starts with a plan. And if you are the spontaneous sort, this is the one time you may have to go against your instinct and plan. Having a plan in place ensures you have all the supplies you need, do things in a timely manner, and do not forget anything.

2.  Secure Your PODS Container Early

Once you have a moving date, it's time to put the pedal to the metal and secure your PODS container, even if the moving date is months in advance. This serves as a constant reminder to chip away at the work you need to do slowly. And by the time the day has arrived, you will be at ease with little to no work left.

3.  Declutter and Pack Smart

Unless you have been living the minimalist lifestyle, you probably have a lot of stuff. And not all this stuff needs to go with you to your new home. Now that you are moving, it's time to get rid of them. Less stuff means less work for you. You can go through your home and decide what to keep, trash, give away, or sell. Now, it is important to remove sentiment and be ruthless here. If you haven’t used or thought of something in a while, you probably do not need it.

4.  Label Everything

While this can sound like extra work or seem a bit over the top, trust us, it will make your job easier when you get to your new place. We suggest packing by room and then further dividing that room into sections. For example, say you are in the kitchen (the room), and you are going to pack the silverware in the drawers (section). When you get to your new home, place the boxes labeled kitchen in the kitchen and the boxes labeled drawers near the drawer, and unpack that way.

5.  Take Your Time

Take advantage of the time flexibility PODS affords you and pack in advance. Also, take your time. This will ensure you pack only what you need and never forget anything. Also, you won’t feel rushed and overwhelmed when you need to leave.

6.  Unpack Efficiently

Once you get to your new home with your PODS container in tow, use the labels to unpack room by room.  You can bring family to help you settle into your new place.

7.  Settle In

No rule says you must unpack and arrange every room immediately after you move in. No. You can do that gradually. Start with the most important rooms, such as the bedroom and kitchen. Take a break at intervals, and don’t forget to breathe. You can also take the easier route — hiring movers to arrange your stuff in your new home. However, you have to map out your home so they know what goes where.

Moving The PODS Storage Unit Way!

Moving is not and should not be a stressful event. As a matter of fact, it can be quite easy and enjoyable when done right, and doing it the PODS way is doing it right. So why not use the tips and tricks mentioned here and move like a pro.
