Why Goku didn't use Shunkan-idou...

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

I've always been under the impression that Goku simply had to bring back a space pod in case further space travel was needed. They didn't have any more on Earth at that point, right?

When Goku asked Porunga to not teleport him to the Earth after the first 130 days following Freeza's defeat, it was because he was still learning the Instant Transmission. Now when that occurred, Vegeta left Earth in Dr. Briefs' "Capsule 3" ship. Once Goku had learned Instant Transmission, there wasn't anyone strong enough on Earth he could sense to pull a transport. Quite curiously, there was a very ambiguous scene in an episode of the Garlic Jr. saga where Vegeta is still looking for Goku in space and does some warming up on an atmosphere covered double-moon. This may have been the first time Goku actually performed Instant Transmission from away from Yardrat, as he could likely sense Vegeta much better than the other Z warriors on Earth. Goku went back to Yardrat to finish training while Vegeta made his way to Earth. Earth itself had to of been far too away from Yardrat for Goku to sense anyone to teleport himself, so he packed up the Ginyu space-pod and headed off.
I love this theory. Good job. :)
