Default PODS location

Where are PODS dropped off for unloading? Are they placed on the street or in the driveway? How long are they allowed to be there?

We live in a new village. Out of the dozens of PODS I've seen so far only one was placed in the street. The rest were set in the driveway.

Driveway. We actually didn’t have a choice how fast the empty POD could be picked up. We have labor scheduled to unloaded it on the 2nd day it’s here, but the POD company is so busy, the first available date for pickup is on the 6th day.

Driveway as the others said and it was either for 3days or a week, but they're pretty understanding as long as it's not weeks on end with endless excuses.

I emptied a large one in a day with one helper.

Driveway. Ours was picked up on the 4th or 5th day. Something like that.

Got mine delivered to the Driveway today.

It made the 1100 mile trip without any issues. Of course, I strapped the ever living dog poo out of it. I think I used 22 ratchet straps in all. I also added 26 eye hooks in there. Real ones(5/16) that can actually take a load .

Took about 4 hours to unload. It took us a month up north to load it.

We've owned down here for years, but finally moving all our junk..sheesh. I was sorta hoping it would have fallen off a truck somewhere and be declared a total loss.

Have them put it in your neighbor’s driveway if they aren’t home. Tell them they made a mistake when they dropped it off as you weren’t home either. You’ll have a clear driveway for the 6 days your pod is there.

As the snowbird, “neighbor that is not home. “ I hope you have the courtesy to ask them. I have arrived at my house late at night to find vehicles parked in my driveway. This not cool.
Not only is it trespassing , the potential damage to a driveway either by a vehicle that is leaking fluids or a Pod dropped on edge is real.

Only a horrible person would do this.

Reading some of the replies to your post, I’m convinced people have no sense of humor.

As I read that post, I had two thoughts. Hope they are teasing. Jokes do not work well on posts. My next thought was thank goodness IT is not my neighbor.
