About four years ago, I used a service like this to move between homes [1]. It's particularly useful if your move out dates don't match up with your move in dates, and if you want to load/unload at a more leisurely pace. At first glance, the only difference seems to be the size of storage units, and maybe a bit more automation in the web interface. The Pod moving/storage unit was basically in units of half-size shipping containers. They would deliver on a date, you'd move your stuff in, and schedule a pickup. Keep the unit in their facilities as long as you care to pay the rent, then kickoff the "download" process whenever you were ready. [1] http://www.pods.com http://www.pods.com
