Looking for recommendations. We will need everything loaded and shipped cross country. We will also need storage for everything temporarily once it reaches the destination.

For those that have done this before, give me some advice. Is a pod the smartest way to go about this?

Pod is probably the best bet because you need the storage. I wanted to use them when we were moving but we didn’t have a driveway to put it in.

We used All My Sons and I thought they were excellent. Quick, efficient, same group of guys that packed it up unpacked it at our new house, and nothing broken or damaged. They were on the upper end of prices but not the most expensive quote I got. I would use them again.

We used Abba out of New Orleans and had a horrible experience. Would not recommend. We didn't use pods for the same reason-driveway was not conducive.

I moved across the country about two years ago, and I went the full-service mover route instead of using a pod. It was less hassle not having to load and unload everything myself, especially with big furniture and fragile stuff. The movers took care of packing, and once my things got to my new city, they put them in temporary storage until I found my place. I liked having everything handled by one company, so there was less risk of things getting lost or mixed up during the move or storage. If you want to avoid all the heavy lifting and the stress of coordinating drop-offs and pickups, a full-service mover with storage options makes moving a lot simpler. I came across Three Movers when planning my move, and they stood out since they could coordinate both the moving and storage parts in one go.

We helped a relative make an interstate move. Arranged it through Pods. They referred us to a crew to hire to load the pod, which was then shipped to the destination city and held in storage until remodeling of the new house was finished. They then dropped off the pod at the new house when we asked for it, and a local crew they referred us to unloaded.

All went well, and the items just sat in the pod the whole time. No unload/store/reload/deliver/unload required at the destination city. Just store in pod, deliver to new home, and unload. Fewer touches equals fewer chances of damaging or losing items.

It's been several years, but I recall that using a traditional moving company was going to cost lots more and was less flexible.
