I'm moving from Southern California to San Antonio, TX. Has anyone used the relocation cubes or Pods for moving long distance? I don't really want to use the conventional moving van...expense wise and I have just a few pieces of furniture to move. My research is showing that the relo cubes is the least expensive way to go but I don't know anyone who has actually moved this way before. I also would like to avoid driving a Uhaul and towing my car by myself. As it looks now the Relo Cubes would be half the price of me renting a Uhaul and doing it myself. Sounds too good to be true : ). Anyone? Tere Pia's of Pleasant Valley | ||

I can't locate your email address in the user ara, but wanted to let you know that I am sending your post to a specialist in my networking group to see if he has the answer. Cheryl Pliskin | ||

Tere, When we just recently moved back from California we used a POD. Their customer service was fantastic! I would recommend them to anyone who’s doing a long haul move. While they worked in the long run for us, we had a short haul and I had to wait 3 days to get my belongings. But none the less, they were great, on time and very reasonably priced. Getting a Uhaul out of California would have cost us almost double what we paid for a POD. Hope that helps you some. ~Courtney | ||

Thanks ladies. Courtney, thanks for confirming the cost issue. I just need to do a little more investigating regarding POD vs. Relo Cube. The determinate will be storage. I won't need my belongings until I get a new place so storage costs will be an issue for me. Thanks again, it's much appreciated. Tere Pia's of Pleasant Valley | ||

Tere, The size of POD is 8x8x16. We moved out of a 2500 sq. ft home and one POD was not big enough! The price of the POD does include the storage fees as it takes 4 days delivery time. The contract is based on monthly storage. If you don't have a place to put a POD at first, they can keep it in the warehouse and then deliver it when you're ready. Like I said a POD is really worth it if you need additional time to move or you're moving out-of-state. I really enjoyed that I could fill it when I wanted to. I didn't have to stuff all of our belongings in it on one day. In fact, we packed them over a 2 week time period...it was nice, not so rushed. Made moving semi-enjoyable  I hope all this info helps. Good luck on the move! Courtney |
