We did it...
We move via POD this past summer and it really worked out well. The POD was in our driveway for a couple of months as we slowly drained the stuff out of the house. On the last day my sons and their friends moved the heavy stuff.
We packed many fragile items in the POD and nothing broke. It really is a matter of how it's packed. Think of how the television came to you. There was styrofoam packing around the edges, all enclosed in a box. If you can re-create that kind of packing, you'll be all right.I'd then place the screen side of the television against the outer wall of the POD. There are sort of protected spaces between the up-right beams inside. They suggest you put large flat items there.
I packed many pictures, glasses, a large glass fronted curio cabinet, a glass shelved entertainment center, and on and on.
While in transit, the POD is of course in the weather. But in Ocala, they stored it in a climate controlled warehouse.
Again, pack it like it was new and you should be OK. The POD is weather proof. It really was an easy way to do it.
Of course, get insurance too!
