Moving pods?

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Has anyone ever used one of those pod-type moving things for a local move? We are moving soon and it feels like it'd be easier to be able to pack incrementally into those, but I don't know if it's worth the added cost. I'm hoping somebody else has done a thorough comparison of the various pod companies already. :) This would be just to move locally, not to store in between.

I've also helped pack into a moving pod on a couple of occasions. They vary in how sturdy their outsides are and some are pretty solid. If you are the kind of person who puts things off to the last minute it's easy to wind up having no more time to load it than you'd have to load a truck. They do neatly solve the "have to move at exactly midnight on August 31" problem though.
