How long can the POD stay on the delivery end before it has to be returned?

Thanks for the answers to these two questions and any other information you care to give.
We packed our own and hired someone locally to UNPACK here for a few bucks. Depends on the company how long they allow it to be kept without extra charge. They brought us 2 when we moved down but only used one. No extra charge for that. You can keep it as long as you like but each company/contract differs in charges, extra charges etc. Just like hiring a moving company. You have to carefully read the contract.

This is the company we used in January 2017 moving down. They were the cheapest by far (in NJ) during "prime" season heading south and had the least fees and most time to hold before storage fees kicked in. I called about 4 different companies and these were the best price at that time. They dropped it off at our home 1 weeks before moving, had it down here in about 4 days.
