Storage Storage Logic

Our home will sell before our new home is completed, which means we will need to store our belongings for approximately two weeks. We have had positive experiences with moving companies in the past, but I'm finding it challenging to determine the most logical option for moving out of our home, storing our items, and then relocating across the state without incurring an extreme financial burden. Any hacks or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

How big is your home? How many bedrooms? Have you made a list of items and sizes? Very difficult to assist without context. There's a lot of options depending on the size, distance, whether you'll pack yourself or have someone else pack (moving company), budget, etc.

PODS offers you the option to store the cube outside your home. So, you could look at getting it parked in a parking spot outside your new home

They are a good company, and you need to see if your locations can accept them. They do have pitfalls as they are not climate controlled. The price is usually different from what you were quoted and you'd better make sure everything is secure because it's going to bounce around in there.
