Load on Your Schedule With Ground-Level Containers
A Permanent Change of Station, commonly called a PCS move, can leave little room between a reporting date, the end of a lease, and access to new housing. Go Mini's of Boise, ID provides portable storage containers for Meridian military families who want to load household goods themselves and arrange pickup, storage, or transport around their timeline.
We deliver the container to your property, where you can pack and load at your own pace. When you’re ready, we can pick up the loaded container for transport to another address or place it in secure off-site storage until your next residence is available. This flexible model can also support a personally procured move, which is a military move organized by the service member rather than completed through a government-contracted household-goods carrier.

Flexible Storage for Military Housing Transitions
Our portable-container service in Meridian gives you control over loading without requiring every stage of the move to happen on the same day. You’re responsible for packing, loading, securing, and unloading your belongings, while we handle container delivery, pickup, storage, and arranged transport.
Multiple container sizes: Available options can accommodate needs ranging from smaller projects to larger household moves.
Container protection: Our containers provide ground-level access for easier loading, remain raised off the ground, resist weather, and include security features.
As a locally owned and operated business, we provide direct service to the Meridian area. Our containers also use padded wheels designed to protect driveways during placement.
What Our Portable-Container Service Includes
Our portable-container service in Meridian is a self-directed option built around a portable storage container. We don’t pack, load, unload, manage PCS paperwork, or coordinate your move with a military transportation office. Instead, we provide the container and the services needed to deliver, pick up, store, and transport it when arranged.
The service follows a straightforward scope:
Container delivery: We deliver the container to your chosen property location when suitable access and placement space are available.
Self-loading: You organize, pack, load, and secure your household goods inside the container.
On-site use: You can keep the container at the property during the agreed rental period.
Secure off-site storage: We can pick up the loaded container and store it off-site when your next home isn’t ready.
Arranged transport: We can transport the loaded container to another address, where you’ll unload it.
Container availability varies by location, but our range includes 12-foot, 16-foot, and 20-foot options. Before delivery, confirm that the property has enough placement space and suitable access. You should also check any applicable neighborhood, property-management, or community restrictions.
Container Delivery, Storage & Transport Process
The process separates your loading date from your transport or final delivery date. That distinction can be useful when a lease ends before military housing or another residence becomes available.
The process includes:
1. Request a Quote: Tell us where you need the container delivered and whether you expect to keep it on-site, arrange off-site storage, or transport it to another address. We can discuss available container sizes and timing based on the service you need.
2. Prepare the Delivery Area: Confirm access, placement space, and surface conditions before the scheduled delivery. If the property is governed by a landlord, homeowners association, or community policy, verify its rules for portable containers before we arrive.
3. Load the Container: Once the container is placed, you pack and load your household goods on your schedule. Allow enough time to organize, load, and secure everything before requesting pickup.
4. Choose Storage or Transport: When loading is complete, we can pick up the container for secure off-site storage or arrange transport to your next address. If housing is delayed, storage allows the container to remain off your property until you’re ready to receive it.
5. Unload at the Destination: After the container reaches the destination, you unload your belongings. Delivery timing should account for your access to the property and readiness to receive the container.
Military Moves Connected to Regional Installations
Meridian residents may be moving to or from assignments connected with Gowen Field in Boise or Mountain Home Air Force Base in Mountain Home. Our portable-container service can support the storage and transport portion of a personally managed move, but it doesn’t replace official PCS counseling or a government-contracted household-goods shipment.
Mountain Home Air Force Base advises service members to begin the PCS process after receiving orders and coordinate with the installation Personal Property office. Military-specific paperwork, shipment rules, reimbursement eligibility, and installation access requirements should be confirmed through the appropriate official resource.
Rules for placing or delivering a portable container can also differ between military property, private housing, rental communities, and homeowners associations. Confirm access requirements with the installation or property manager before scheduling delivery. We don’t claim installation access or determine whether a portable-container expense qualifies for reimbursement.

Great experience with Go Mini's! Communication and service was excellent. They helped us with our move from Twin Falls to Emmett. Would use them again in the future.

They've gone above and beyond each time
I was promised a lot by GoMini's when I first met Kaleb, they seemed too good to be true (same day service, 3-hour drop-off windows…) things no other container company in the Treasure Valley has ever been able to pull off for me. Well, I’ve had a couple of calls for them since and I have to say they’ve gone above and beyond each time; containers arrive clean inside and out, they have locking wheels on all four corners so there’s the smallest chance of surface damage, they’re always eager to provide the perfect solution for our storage needs and have delivered exactly as promised, if not better. As far as my professional opinion goes, moving forward I don’t plan on calling anybody but GoMini's.

Go Mini saved my carpet replacement project!
Go Mini saved my carpet replacement project! The day before the project was to begin, rain was forecast for several days. I needed someplace to protect all my furniture. Go Mini showed up in less than an hour with a box big enough for all my stuff. They came back the day after my furniture was moved back into my house and took the box away. Couldn't have been easier!

Mini Pods Are Legit!
As an owner of a garage epoxy company, I count on GO Mini’s (Caleb) to deliver a great price and a great experience for all my customers that need to store their garage items while I epoxy the garage. Big selling point are the rubber wheels! ZERO damage to your concrete unlike other companies. Mini Pods are legit!

We will always use this company
The delivery driver Larry is absolutely amazing. He gets the mini exactly where you need, and he’s fast too! This guy does a wonderful job and is so friendly. Even the office staff are cheerful and friendly! We will always use this company for our moving needs. Two times in the last year and pleasant every time! Thank you!
Tom Tuma
Great communication and a real problem solver
Fitting the ordered storage box onto my driveway became a challenge due to my short length to the sidewalk. My driver, Larry, was concerned the association might have an issue if we were breaching the sidewalk, and he was able to get the storage container in the drive diagonally and clear it perfectly. Great communication and a real problem solver. I appreciate him and the service provided.
bob sweet
Nice unit, very clean
Rented a pod to store furniture and household items during a remodel project. The pod was brand new, never been used before. Nice unit, very clean, had that "new car" smell. Arrived on the date requested. Picked up the day after we notified the company we were done using it. Our driver Larry was very nice, professional, and accommodating. Recommended.
Gary Xoom
Larry did an amazing job
Larry did an amazing job and went above and beyond to accommodate placement of our pod, even when he had to come back and move it (it was not their fault). Hard worker is an understatement to describe him. Our family would definitely 10/10 recommend work with them if you need help with storage or moving.
Lex

Highly Recommend
Kaleb and the gang are so awesome. We use these around our venue, and they have made sure we are extremely happy. We even decided we needed to adjust the placement a couple of times, and they were out here the same day. Highly recommend.
Jamie Koshmider
Very Pleasant Experience
Was in a bit of a pickle as far as needing a container on site in a hurry. Called the guys at Go Mini's, had a business account set up in minutes and had that container on site in 2 hrs. Would recommend again, very pleasant experience.
Tim Hitt
Kaleb did an amazing job
Kaleb did an amazing job. He got us a way better price than the competition, almost $200 less than PODS.
I was able to empty out my entire garage and have it all held on my property. They also provided a Ring camera to monitor the unit for the entire time.
