My little discussion about portable storage
The other advantage to moving things yourself is that very often professional movers do not take precaution when moving your items. This causes for you to sometimes find your glass and other fragile stuff to end up broken. Unfortunately most of the moving companies will not reimburse you and just say it was because of the way it was packed. So by using storage pods you have the piece of mind knowing that your fragile items will be handled with care since you are the one moving them. Also, by using storage pods which lay on the ground it will help you from having to strain to load up heavy items up ramps.
