  1. There's NO WAY i can load my upcoming POD myself. Will PODS help me, or do I need to hire actual movers to do this?

  2. "How To Load" starts at 3:30. Before that the video is general "Where to Place the Pod" and "How To Pack Your Things" stuff. I came just for the title, because I'm quite experienced at moving in general, but not at how to load a truck (and presently I am most concerned I won't have enough to fill my 16' container…in fact, you could/should do a whole extra shorter video on securing not full Pods).

  3. Do the ropes for securing items come with the POD, or do those need to be purchased separately?

  4. I live in a narrow street with a small driveway… can I get a 16 foot pod?

    Also does anyone have access to your belongings inside the Pod at anytime?

  5. Great video and really helpful tips, but I'd like to see more realistic actors in future videos. I mean, these folks were fine and all, but there needs to be more yelling, crying, sweat, bruises, cuts, and emotional breakdown going on. Maybe one of them sitting in a dark corner of the POD crying and questioning their decisions or someone getting tangled up in the stretch wrap for the sixteenth time. You know, the usual stuff. At least, that's been my experiences so far. PODS is great though, highly recommended ????

  6. Is it best to use cardboard boxes or can you use plastics totes with lids?

  7. I do have a reservation for a 16' box for 2 weeks from now, If I need to add a smaller one after packing the 16' how long it would take to get the additional one?

  8. can I use a regular "gym" combination lock like the ones we used on our gym lockers?

  9. Using a 8x8x16 for a cross-country move, but I don't own enough items to fill the entire pod. Do I spread the weight out low and even along the bottom?

  10. Y'all should get me in there to them how you REALLY pack. Years of Tetris and moving has honed me into a packing wizard.

    For real, thanks though. Y'all are doing a pretty good service here and I'm using it to move right now. good shit.
