Let’s start with the obvious difference: Storage Valet’s containers versus PODS® containers. At Storage Valet, we offer ideal-sized containers that have been the standard in the moving industry for decades. They are 8’ deep x 5’ wide x 7’ tall. PODS containers, on the other hand, are bigger – 12’ or 16’ deep x 8’ wide x 8’ tall (or, about the size of a garage). Take a look at the chart below and you’ll see why bigger isn’t necessarily better.
