PODs Delivered, Loaded & Stored in San Diego
We bring the container to your driveway, you load it on your schedule or hand the job to our crew, and when the doors close we pick it up: store it in our secure San Diego facility, keep it at your place, or deliver it straight to your next address.
Gorilla Movers delivers portable storage containers to your San Diego driveway, then picks them up when the doors close. You load it on your own schedule or hand that to our crew, and we store the container in our secure San Diego facility, leave it at your place, or deliver it to your new address. Pricing is straightforward with no hidden decoder ring, and your container is stored at our own facility rather than lost in somebody else's network. Call 619-600-5000.
How our pod service works
It runs in three moves. We schedule a delivery and set the container where you want it, on the driveway, in front of the garage, wherever access allows. You load it at your own pace, days or weeks, no meter running on a truck. When you are ready, we pick it up and it goes where you tell us: into secure storage, on to your new address anywhere in San Diego County, or it simply stays at your place as on-site storage while a remodel or a staging project runs its course.
The containers themselves are built for this: 8 feet long by 5 feet wide by 7 feet high, roughly 40 square feet of packing floor each. They are wood-bodied rather than steel, which matters more than it sounds: wood breathes and helps regulate humidity, which reduces the risk of mold and mildew on furniture and fabrics, and there is nothing to rust or corrode. Most one-bedroom homes fit in one to two containers; a full house typically runs three or four.
Straight pod pricing, no decoder ring
Storage runs per container, per month: $198 month to month, or $178 a month when you book a 12-month term. A one-bedroom in two containers is $396 a month with zero commitment; a full four-container house runs $712 to $792 a month depending on term. Delivery and pickup is $198 round trip, and we waive the initial delivery when your storage runs four months or longer.
Load it yourself, or hand it to the crew
Here is where a moving company doing pods beats a storage company doing them: the crew. Load it yourself if you like, that is the whole point of a pod. But if you want it done in two hours instead of two weekends, the same movers who load our trucks will load your container: tight tiers, weight low and spread, furniture padded and shrink-wrapped, every section strapped before the doors close. A pod only protects what cannot move inside it.
Same offer on the far end. When your container lands at the new place, our crew can unload it and put furniture where it belongs instead of where gravity leaves it.
Stored here, not lost somewhere
Containers we pick up go into our secure San Diego facility, and your stuff stays reachable: give us two hours notice and you can get into your container any day between 10 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon, no charge for the visit. Delivery and pickup run countywide, from Chula Vista up through Carlsbad, Escondido, and El Cajon.
And if you already rented a container from someone else, PODS, 1-800-Pack-Rat, U-Haul U-Box, Zippy Shell, we will still load or unload it for you the same way. The container is the box; the loading is the craft.

“We used Gorilla Movers 7 years ago and they did an excellent job. So we hired them again for our current move and they worked so hard. This time we were moving our belongings into pods and the perfectly wrapped our furniture for a long move. They also perfectly packed the pods so we could fit all of our belongings. I highly recommend this moving company.”
“Raul and his team were excellent. Not only did he guide the entire process of loading my belongs into the PODS, he went above and beyond to help me organize my things and make sure everything was loaded properly. I would certainly recommend Gorilla Movers and specifically, Raul, again. Thank you to everyone at Gorilla Movers, from start to finish!!”
“Reasonable quote, great communication from the office, and movers were very efficient and professional with our PODS unit unloading. They even went the extra mile and fixed some furniture for us that wasn't part of the move. Would absolutely use again (in fact, this was the second time we've used Gorilla for a move).”
