Short Notice Corporate Relocation Across the Country

Blackbird Production Services needed to relocate from New York City to Los Angeles for a new Disney-related venture so Twining could collaborate with Disney's L.A.-based team. This involved moving Twining's personal effects and small assembly tools from her New York apartment with just a week's notice. Blackbird Production had to factor in multiple challenges: how to navigate the city streets with a large moving van, where to park legally, and how to keep belongings secure while emptying the apartment.

Twining did not have a car, and she didn't want to rent one just to drive her belongings across state lines to an affordable warehouse in New Jersey. Additionally, Twining only had temporary housing in Los Angeles. She needed a place to store items once they reached California, and she needed to manage the logistics of delivery to a permanent location.

PODS gave Lily Twining of Blackbird Production Services the peace of mind she needed to attend to a stressful challenge like moving out of New York City. The specialized services delivered multiple advantages:

• To prevent theft, the PODS driver watched over all goods being loaded into the waiting container so Twining didn't have to dedicate one of her own team members to do the same.

• PODS handled the driving. Twining didn't own a car in New York and first considered renting one to move her effects to the closest warehouse, which was across the river in New Jersey.

• PODS navigates urban streets and knows local regulations regarding parking and loading.

• PODS delivered the services on a short one-week notice — other companies Twining called needed at least a four-week period — and was flexible with timelines regarding business storage options in Los Angeles. Flexibility on short notice gave Blackbird Production Services that all goods would be secure and delivered reliably when needed.
