Packrat pods3/12/2023 For moving out I was able to tow the box myself and get it down the alley and into my driveway. They are stored in stacks indoors at my local U-Haul so long term weatherproofing they can get away with the cheaper materials. U-Box is wood with a plastic roof pan and tarp shell around the outside. I think prices were roughly $250 / $50 per POD/U-Box per month. The U-Box is something like 1/4 the size (8x7x4.5) but for me was 1/5th the price. My last move (5 years ago, short local move) I looked into PODS and ended up using a couple U-Box Containers from U-Haul. PODS, according to the unbiased folks at PACK-RAT We’re hoping to trash a lot of stuff, but we also have some aviation gear currently stored in hangars. The price for the container/storage is about the same, but they’ll move three containers to Florida (all fit on one truck) for what PODS charges to move two.Ī typical cluttered house will require three containers. The container is the same size, but all steel, like a standard container for a container ship (suitable for jamming into the Suez Canal!). PACK-RAT does not have as large a service area, but they cover West Palm Beach and Boston. The container is wood, steel, and fiberglass and can hold up to 4,200 lbs. They wanted $4,770 per container (16x8x8′) for the move and $265/month per container for rental or storage. We looked at the market leader, PODS, first. Container B to a storage facility near the apartment for eventual delivery to a house when we become stupid enough to purchase one. Container A for the apartment we’re moving into. For the move from Massachusetts to Florida we decided that it would make the most sense to use at least two containers and a dumpster.
