Moving can be a stressful experience, and one of the most important decisions you will make is how to pack your belongings. If you are considering using a pod container, it is important to know what items you should not pack. This will help to ensure that your belongings are safe and that your move goes smoothly.

Items You Should Not Pack in a Pod Container

​There are a number of items that you should not pack in a pod container. These items include:
What Not To Load In A Pod Container
​Hazardous materials: Hazardous materials, such as gasoline, propane, and ammunition, are not allowed in pod containers. These materials can be dangerous to transport and can damage the pod container.
Perishable items: Perishable items, such as food, plants, and flowers, should not be packed in a pod container. These items will spoil during the move and will create a mess.

Fragile Items
​Fragile items: Fragile items, such as china, glass, and artwork, should be packed in a separate container or wrapped carefully. These items are more likely to break during the move if they are not packed properly.
Oversized items: Oversized items, such as furniture, appliances, and exercise equipment, may not fit in a pod container. If you are unsure whether an item will fit, it is best to check with the pod company before packing it.

Borrowing Tools
Items that are not yours: You should not pack items that do not belong to you in a pod container. This includes items that you are borrowing, renting, or have been given for safekeeping.

Tips for Packing a Pod Container

​By following these tips, you can pack your pod container safely and efficiently:
  • Start by packing the heaviest items at the bottom of the container. This will help to distribute the weight evenly and prevent the container from becoming unbalanced.
  • Pack smaller items in between larger items. This will help to fill up the space in the container and prevent items from shifting during transport.
  • Use packing materials to secure your belongings. This will help to prevent your belongings from shifting during transport and protect them from damage.
  • Label each box clearly. This will help you to find your belongings quickly and easily when you arrive at your new home.
  • Take pictures of your belongings before you pack them. This will help you to create an inventory of your belongings and to make a claim if anything is damaged during the move.
By following these tips, you can pack your pod container safely and efficiently.
