We are often asked why someone would choose to use Blu Box Portable Storage instead of traditional movers with a truck. Using portable storage, commonly known as a POD, gives you many advantages over traditional movers.

Using portable storage is more flexible.

When you use a Blu Box, you can load and unload your belongings on your own schedule. Many people find loading a portable storage pod to be much less stressful than a mover’s strict schedule. As well, if your new place isn’t ready yet, leaving a pod in the driveway or a parking spot is much easier than using a transitional storage unit. You can have your Blu Box for as long as you want without fretting about returning a truck and ensuring the gas tank is full.

Portable storage is more cost-effective.

Oftentimes, moving using a portable storage pod can be more cost-effective than a moving company. You can save on labor costs compared to using professional movers because you and your family or friends can do it for less.

Portable storage offers security and control.

Not only can you lock your Blu Box yourself (making sure you are the only one with access to your portable storage unit), you also have control over how your items are packed. Lamps, vases, urns: all can be safely nestled within the Blu Box. You’re in control of every step of the packing and unpacking process.

A Blu Box is more convenient.

Let our team drop off the Blu Box portable storage unit. You’ll fill it with your stuff and lock it, and we’ll pick it up and move it for you. Driving a rented moving truck can be harrowing, particularly when you consider the cost per mile and the need to refill it with gas! Eliminate time and hassle when you rent a Blu Box.

A Blu Box is better for temporary storage than self-storage.

Many people ask us about using Blu Box as temporary storage. You can absolutely do that! If there’s a gap between moving out of your old place and into your new digs, our Blu Box can serve as a temporary unit for you. Plus, it’s much more convenient having your stuff at hand if you need it. And if you know you’ll need to keep your stuff in storage for several months in between moving, it typically is more cost-effective to use a Blu Box portable storage unit than a moving truck round-trip and a self-storage unit!

Moving can be a hassle, that’s for sure. But when you rent a Blu Box portable storage unit, you eliminate the challenges of hiring professional movers, the expense and difficulty of renting a truck, and the lack of control you feel when your stuff drives away. When you want a secure, convenient moving experience, Blu Box is the answer! Get a free portable storage quote here!
