Recently I have seen a few comercials for portable storage units. They look pretty cool. It is the sort of idea you see and you think, Why didnt I think of that.

It works pretty simple the company delivers an empty storage pod to your house. You fill it up with your furniture and the other items you wish to store. Then you give them a call back and they pick up your unit and take it back to their warehouse. Some companies even offer to ship your items across the nation. This is supe cool and allows you to save money on movers in some cases. Although my moving company has been hired to unpack a pod.
