I've already done a forum search, and tried to reach out to people who it seemed like have done this, but I haven't heard anything back.

So - I'm wondering - have you moved a game with PODS, or a similar competitor? I have a cross country move coming up, and trying to figure out if this is a viable safe option to move with.

Appreciate the insight, and yes I noticed the lack of tie down options after digging through some youtube videos.

The plan is to pack these super well - batteries out, heads all off, everything wrapped in packing blankets and then shrink wrapped. They'd likely be sitting for approx 2 months, which I think is my biggest concern. I need them to store as we won't have an immediate address for them to be shipped to.

Frankly, I'm at a loss for how to move these in a more cost effective manner than with pods.

Thanks, appreciate the encouragement and least some first hand evidence of them sitting for longer than a short period of time. Will definitely get some dehumid bags for the unit.

You had multiple pods I assume? Was one just for the games? It's also been very challenging to get PODS to supply accurate interior useable dimensions

Are the tie downs convenient? I've come across photos of units equipped with D rings...just wondering what I should prep for (ratchet straps, ropes - combination of both?

Appreciate all the tips and insight.

Yeah, I am going to try and get them to commit to the metal ones - because I have found that disparity too when searching for photos, and I feel especially uneasy about a glorified wooden box.

How long ago was your move? I found recent (<1 year old) youtube videos of the newer/steel ones, and older ones with the wood interior (approx 5-6 years old), so i wondered if it was a time thing in terms of the unit you got.

LOL yeah - you get what you get I guess. Did the wooden container feel sturdy?

For me, basically coast to coast, 16' container is around $4500 w/o storage - i.e. if you were going directly from one location (loading yourself), to another location (unloading yourself). They told me the coast to coast journey takes about 10 days, but they tend to try and allow for 14. I haven't done a pack drawing yet (still trying to get real interior dimensions) but my guess is you could probably pack 16-18 games in. I've got 8 games currently, maybe 9. That drawing will determine if I'm bringing #9, or unloading it before leaving.
