Self Service Movers in San
Diego moving . org.
When it comes to moving, there are many
options! Choices are limited if you are
moving internationally, but if you are
moving locally or within the continental
U.S., you can contact a
professional
San Diego moving
company, rent a truck and pack and move
your belongings yourself, or you can
contact a self service mover. Self service
movers are increasing in popularity for a
number of reasons; the most common reasons
stated are because of the difference in
cost and the flexibility offered with these
companies.
After you have chosen a self service mover,
what their company does is they deliver a
trailer or a container to your home and you
have a designated number of days to get the
truck packed to your satisfaction. Then, a
driver from the self service moving company
arrives to pick up the packed and locked
(with your own lock) container and
transports your belongings to your new
home. Then, the container is once again
left for a pre-designated number of days
for you to unpack. When you are finished,
the self service moving company again sends
a driver to your home to retrieve the
trailer or container.
A relatively new popular option in self
service movers is offered by one such
national company by the name of PODS. PODS
stands for Portable On Demand Storage.
Their original purpose when the business
was started in the late 1990’s was to offer
storage that could be brought to the person
wishing to rent the storage unit. Then,
when the renter had the portable storage
unit filled and locked, the renter would
contact their local PODS office and a truck
would be dispatched to come pick up the
loaded storage unit. It would then be
stored in a climate controlled warehouse,
which is very secure, for a nominal monthly
fee.
Shortly after the storage idea took off,
PODS launched the second part of their
service to individuals and businesses. The
second service they began to offer was self
service moving! The process was basically
the same – the storage unit would be
delivered and you pack it, then contact
PODS for pick-up. This time, the company
would pick up the unit and either store it
in the warehouse until time for the move
itself, or move it to the PODS location
nearest your new destination. In addition
to being considered a self service mover,
they also sell packing supplies and can
recommend loaders and packers in your area,
if you should need assistance.
