We looked into using pods but opted for a moving company that cost about a thousand more than a pod.

For the thousand, we got to direct four movers work 4 hours bundle up all the heavy furniture and loose items too big to fit in moving boxes in moving blankets, box up all the pictures and mirrors, load up the truck, store for a month, deliver to our door in Fla and unload and set up furniture where we wanted it - another 4 hours for two men. They lost one piece and delivered it two weeks later - a door to a garage storage cabinet that had a value of next to zero. We would have had to buy a few hundred dollars in moving blankets and clear wrapping tape to match what they used.

Best $1,000 we spent last year.
