Featured Review Stories

Livermore Remodel Storage (Onsite Access During the Project)

A homeowner in Livermore needed to clear space for a remodel but did not want everything stacked in the garage or moved twice. The challenge was keeping the house functional while the project timeline shifted week to week. We delivered a UNITS container and placed it for easy daily access so they could move furniture, boxes, and supplies in and out as needed. With ground-level loading, they avoided ramps and the constant back-and-forth trips that usually drag a remodel out. When the project ran longer than expected, they kept the container onsite and stayed organized without rushing to cram everything back inside. The result was a cleaner work area for contractors, less clutter in the home, and a storage setup that flexed with the reality of the remodel.

San Jose Apartment Move (HOA Restrictions, Offsite Storage, Then Re-Delivery)

A customer in San Jose was moving from an apartment community with tight placement rules and limited parking. Keeping a container onsite for multiple days was not realistic, and they needed a plan that fit a strict move-out window. We coordinated a delivery that matched their loading schedule, then picked up the container and stored it at our secure facility so their items stayed protected without violating property rules. Once their new place was ready, we delivered that same container back for unloading. The result was a smoother move without last-minute scrambling, no unloading into a warehouse, and no juggling a truck, storage unit, and timing all at once.

Santa Clara Business Storage (Staged Delivery and Pickup for a Project Timeline)

A business in Santa Clara needed temporary storage while reorganizing their space and coordinating vendor work. The challenge was keeping critical items accessible while clearing room for the project team. We delivered a container and placed it where staff could load and retrieve items during business hours without disrupting operations. When they hit the phase where daily access was no longer needed, we picked up the container and moved it to our secure facility until the next stage of the project. The result was less downtime, better organization, and a storage plan that stayed aligned with how the business actually operated.

Every day people call our containers pods. “Can you deliver our pods?” “Can I get into my pods?”
 
At UNITS Moving and Portable Storage “pods” is a four-letter word! We know it has become the generic term for a portable storage container, but its also our competitor. We have worked diligently over the past ten years to differentiate our company from PODS® by offering superior service from local folks who are your neighbors and actually care about your specific situation.
 
At UNITS we answer our phones personally. No call centers! We are local owners who care about you and our community. OK, everyone says that, right?  Don’t believe us.

Why Our Reviews Stand Out

Most reviews come down to the same theme: the experience feels straightforward from the first call to the final pickup. UNITS East Bay and South Bay is locally owned and operated, with a team that knows the area, the traffic patterns, and the placement challenges that come with real neighborhoods and job sites. That local knowledge matters when a driveway is tight, a street is crowded, or timing needs to line up with a move-out window.

Customers also appreciate direct phone support. When you call, you are speaking with a real team that can answer questions, confirm details, and adjust a plan when something changes. We focus on no-surprises coordination by setting clear expectations upfront, confirming access and placement before delivery, and communicating scheduling windows so you are not left guessing. The result is a storage and moving process that feels organized, predictable, and easy to manage.
