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 used PODS once ; it was tricky ; be very careful that you have enough space to drop off and pick up the pod since they require a lot of room; especially if you put it on the street.
What happened to me was ; when they dropped it off on the street; there happened to be noone parking at that time; so it was easy to drop off.
Then ; when I scheduled the pickup; they could not get the room to pick up the box ; then they told me i would have to reschedule in 2 weeks!
At $40 a day for the permit that could have been crazy expensive.
