Looking for suggestions of a local company that leases storage options such as PODS.

Need a small POD that we will load up in the Huntington area and will move to a property 3 miles away.

POD needed for about 7 months.

Recommendations requested please!!

Men on the move has a storage facility in Huntington based upon my own experience if you have the manpower to truck it over there and back it will may be much cheaper for you.

While convenient PODS are in my opinion, expensive. There is a delivery charge to drop it off and a delivery charge to bring it to your new location and then another charge to return it to them when empty. I have heard that depending upon the time of year and other variables they waive those return fees but I have no experience with this myself. You may have more of a leg to negotiate since you plan on storing but check it out with them.

I used pods when I moved 4 years ago and can't say anything bad about them, including the price which I thought was reasonable.

I used pods a few years ago and I was very happy with them. I only needed it 1 week and they came dropped off the pod, then scheduled a pick up 1 week later.

Try UPack. Much cheaper than PODS, Imo.

They've got a special today - a bundled service for 6 months or over use with free delivery and pickup!
Look:

Awesome.
Oh, and my sister used a pod for over 9 months, it worked out fine, and yes, it was cheap!
