Don’t want to feel rushed during your big move? Need extra time to pack and load your things?No problem, Tom’s Marathon Movers LLC will take care of everything.
When you are moving a lot of stuff or need to store several things, a pod may be an option you consider. You can take your time and pack your pod over time or simply leave it outside your home for an extended period of time. Pods loading offers a range of options for you to store your stuff.
Sometimes you have an extensive moving project that requires you to temporarily store your items and instead of getting a storage unit for a month or two, a pod can be conveniently placed outside your home so you have access to your items during the long and arduous home improvement project.

How Storage PODS Work
PODS work in various ways depending on your specific needs. To give you a better understanding of how our moving container company handles this service, here’s a brief breakdown.
STEP 1: Rent a PODS Unit and Have It Delivered to Your Doorstep
The first step is to rent a PODS unit that can fit all your furniture and belongings. You can choose from various storage options, including between an 8-, 12-, or 16-foot unit. These shipping containers are made of durable, weather-resistant, and impact-resistant steel so you know they can keep your belongings safe. Once you select the container size that’s best for your items, it will be delivered to your doorstep or any other designated area you want.
If you are unavailable to receive the moving container personally, you can opt for contactless delivery. You wouldn’t have to interact with your driver, but your PODS container will be dropped off at your driveway or another designated area.
STEP 2: Keep It or Store It Away
When you get your moving container from a portable storage company, you have the assistance on hand you need. Tom’s Marathon Movers can help get your home or office loaded into your moving containers with so much ease and convenience.
Once you’re all set, you have the choice to keep it at home until the time of your move or store it at a PODS storage center. If you don’t have enough space at home or are having a hard time allocating a safe and secure location for one of these all-steel containers, we recommend that you go for the latter option.
Doing so will get rid of the hassle of finding the right space to place the PODS container. Plus, you wouldn’t have to worry about causing yard clutter.
STEP 3: Move Your PODS With Ease and Convenience
When you’re ready to have your container transported to another location, our PODS team can handle all the heavy lifting for you. Just reach out to our moving experts to schedule an ideal time for the pickup.
On the day of the scheduled pickup and scheduled delivery, our team will be at your doorstep ready and able to help you move anywhere in the country. Whether it be just across town or across the country, we can ensure that your PODS shipping unit arrives at its destination as safely and efficiently as possible.
Reminders Before Ordering a PODS Container
Before you rent a PODS container, it’s important that you plan ahead. You need to ask yourself certain questions like: What is the best size container for my requirements? How long do I need it? Where do I store it?
To enjoy a smooth and stress-free move, here are a few reminders to keep in mind before ordering your PODS container.
Schedule in Advance
While you can schedule your containers and rental truck at your own pace, we recommend getting moving services at least one week in advance to avoid any complications. This will come in handy, especially during the busier moving months.
Go One Size Up
Overestimate the space you’ll need for your local move or long-distance move. If you’re not sure which storage containers can fit all your belongings, it’s always a good idea to go one size higher. Otherwise, you can contact our professional movers at Tom’s Marathon Movers for a more accurate estimate.
We offer flexible storage options and various container sizes for all your local moves and long-distance moves. What’s more, we offer our services at competitive pricing compared to most moving container companies in the state.
Use Plastic Bins for Packing
Instead of using cardboard boxes, which can break easily or crush each other, we recommend that you use plastic bins. These are easier to stack together in a PODS container and offer more durability to further protect against damage.
Gather All the Supplies
Before you rent a container, make sure that you have all the moving and packing supplies you’ll need to make these tasks more efficient. These include boxes, tape, scissors, markers, packing paper, bungee cords or tie-downs, rope, bubble wrap, blankets, etc.
Loading Tips
PODS loading and unloading can be tedious, even though PODS are designed to make moving as easy as possible. You may not have the experience to properly load a container and can end up losing track of your stuff. You should hire PODS loading services so you never have to worry about damaged or lost items. Some tips if you do decide to load a Pod on your own are:
- Hire PODS loading team
- Take your time and work on your schedule
- Make a list
- Inspect your items carefully
You may be in a hurry to load your pod the moment it arrives but you shouldn’t. The good thing is that you do not have to climb a ramp as Pods stay at ground level. You should organize your items first before loading them in. keep items that you will need immediate access to the front of the container and things that you do not need to access towards the back.
