Door to Door® Reviews
I would not use these again. We went with Door to Door because we thought it would help us to organize our move to have a container for each room as opposed to PODS where it would all go in one container. The PODS hold more and can be easier packed because they are taller and items like couches can go upright. The PODS bid was cheaper, by a little for 3 Door to Door units. We ended up having to use 4 units so it ended up that we would have saved $700 going with PODS. Even with 4 units we did not have enough space even though we were careful to tell them the unusual items we had. These things are small. We now have the extra expense and labor of having to get a storage unit because we didn't want to get a 5th unit for an additional $400. Because of the lack of space in the units nothing ended up being organized anyway. We had to just put things wherever they would fit, so the whole reason for getting these was negated. Go with PODS. They are cheaper, hold more, and pack more efficiently. I recommend Door to Door only if you have very little to pack. It would be a good choice if you only needed 1 small unit and didn't need the large size of the POD unit.
I'm not local to MN, so the Hire-a-Helper site was helpful in finding Phil's Excellence. I chose them based on reviews - lots of positive experiences, good customer service, and experience in loading storage containers. Phil's was definitely the right choice. They made everything go as smoothly as it could.
Door to Door has been good (although I don't take delivery of the containers for a month or two). One wrinkle was that they had a breakdown of the hydraulic system on their truck when dropping off empties, and were backed up/delayed by about 3-4 hrs. They were a bit tardy on calling me, but offered to refund the $100 or so delivery cost as an apology (still waiting on this, but expect it will come soon.)
