When it comes to moving in New Orleans and surrounding areas, portable storage is a game-changer. Two of the most popular options are PODS and U-Haul U-Box—but they’re not created equal.
At Move Precision, we specialize in helping you move with either option, so here’s what you need to know to choose the right fit.
1. Size & Capacity
PODS:
• Available in 3 sizes: 7 ft., 12 ft., and 16 ft.
• Ideal for medium to large moves with heavy furniture.
• Built with durable steel for long-term use.
U-Box:
• One standard size: approx. 257 cubic feet.
• Great for smaller moves, apartments, or tight urban spaces.
• Compact and versatile.
Move Precision Insight:
We help customers determine exactly how many containers they need—and we make sure you don’t pay for more than you use.
2. Delivery, Pickup & Scheduling
U-Box:
• Move Precision can personally coordinate delivery and pickup with U-Haul facilities.
• We’ll bring the U-Box to your home, load it, and return it to U-Haul—all within a few hours.
PODS:
• Great option if you want to keep things quick and seamless.
• PODS delivers directly to your property.
• Move Precision provides expert loading and unloading services—just let us know when your container arrives, and we’ll take care of the rest.
• Please note: we can’t transport PODS containers, but we’ll handle the muscle work.
3. Security & Durability
PODS:
• Made with steel and designed to handle weather and long-term storage.
• Excellent if you’re storing items during a home renovation or extended relocation.
U-Box:
• Made of treated wood and wrapped in a weather-resistant cover.
• Lockable and secure, though best for shorter timeframes or climate-controlled storage.
Move Precision Insight:
We pack each container with strategy and care—so even if you choose the lighter U-Box, your belongings are packed to survive the journey.
4. Cost Comparison
U-Box:
• Typically more affordable.
• Ideal for local or budget-conscious moves.
PODS:
• Pricier, but offers more size options and long-term flexibility.
Move Precision Insight:
We work with your budget and recommend the container option that gets the job done right—without unnecessary spending.
5. Flexibility & Booking
U-Box:
• Easier to book last-minute.
• We can coordinate the entire process with you—just call us to handle it start to finish.
PODS:
• Better suited for cross-country or long-haul moves.
• Requires early booking during peak seasons.
