Not sure if you've priced it yet or not, but having a moving company store your stuff costs almost as much (if not more) than the move itself. You might consider getting one of these PODS and doing it yourself, depending on your budget.

Had my items in a POD before I moved to Charles County. It was wonderful and not pricey. You can store your POD at their warehouse or at another location so to me it was a good deal. Check out the website. www.pods.com

With all the movement (in and out), I'm surprised.Oz said:No PODS franchise in St. Mary's County...
Heck, I'm surprised the military hasn't just forced folks to do PODS for relocations considering how much they spend on moving companies. Not that I'd have been happy about that when I was in.
We just moved here last summer, and quality delivered our stuff, I WOULD NOT recommend them, my husband didn't plan to well, and we shipped his motorcycle cross country. When they unloaded it off the truck, we watched them gleefully hop on it and roll it down the hill. Then we noticed the numerous dents and scratches on it, not to mention the corrosion, it looked as if it had been stored outside. We were not happy, and we are still fighting with them to get money for it (we have pictures before the move!).hwrenee said:

I found a place called Onsite rentals. Instead of a pod, they bring a trailer (45 feet long) to your house. It sounds like a good deal. $300 for bringing it and moving it and $99 a month for however long you keep it. The only thing is I live on a narrow dirt road and don't know if they will be able to get it to my house. I am going to see if they will come down and check it out. It seems like the best deal!

However, glad you found something that works for you. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Well, it looks like the trailer will not fit down my dirt road and driveway. It is 45 feet long. I am going to have them come out (I hope) to see if it will work. Ah well...
