We moved these cabinets and a very expensive grandfather clock our selves. When packing we did the following:
1. removed all weights and pendulum (clock)
2. removed all shelves, emptied all drawers
3. Used movers blankets and completely wrapped the furniture all sides
4. Used suitable clamps and webbing or rope to secure the furniture to the side of the truck, in your case the pod.
5. The above furniture was placed with the sensitive side toward the outside of the truck, and the next piece of furniture was placed with the backs together to further protect the sensitive furniture.

Doing the above, all furniture arrived in tact.
Hope this helps.
Also, make sure you consider the slope of the driveway when packing as well as unpacking, it would very bad to have something fall or slide during the unpacking phase.
