I have read that pods is only as good as your local dealer and that some have had problems with them not delivering as promised a week late or so in order to charge for another month. I read one post were the people paid in advance and when the outfit (pods LA) sent the monthly bill to the old address instead of their po box as instructed and it came back return to sender from the post office they sold the contents of the pod. Probably a local that location only issue, but it makes one think.

I just realized this thread was started in January. But... there's always people moving here, so good advice, esp. about pods.
Our son and dil had a bad experience storing contents of their apartment in DC when they moved to Australia.
DO be sure you pay every month, and I would suggest notl to have this monthly payment charged to your credit card. They did. The card was compromised and shut down, but they didn't know that in time in OZ and payment was rejected. Contents of storage were sold. His beloved string bass was in there. (Dumb, I know, but no time to drive it to us before they left.)
We had a helluva time tracking down who bought that bass, and I had to truck across three states to buy it back for him. Be careful of these storage facilities. Some of them are ruthless. Vet them well.
