Yes, we are currently using Pods. So far so good. At this time the Pod is being stored in Ocala while we wait for settlement on Nov 19th.
We originally contracted through United/Mayflower but they didn't have one available at the time we needed so they provided a "Pod" pod through their share agreement with that company.
Anyway, we thought it was the best bet for us. You load at your leisure and they store it near your old address or new address, it's up to you. The big part of the bill isn't due until you tell them to move it to your new location or state. (I believe I saw you were from the MainLine in Pa, we were from Broomall) so when you ask them to move it to Florida that's when the biggest part of the bill hits.
Also we found it amazing how they pickup and drop off the pod from the truck. It stays level at all times with this motorized contraption that they use, pretty neat.
They also allow you to get to your stuff with a 48 hour call ahead of time. We did this because our son's belongings were in our pod. Needed to get to his furniture, Point is, the stuff seemed like it made the trip ok, wasn't scrambled, but we were holding our breath.
So, all in all, I would use a pod again. Good luck and let us know of we can give you any other information.
