    Everything about the PODS experience was good. Dropping it off, picking it up AND especially the packing. Not one thing moved on the trip and the last part of the trip was over a very hilly and bumpy dirt road. I would never use anyone else if I move again.

    I had a major flood in my basement during unprecedented rains in July 2023. I booked a Pod. Excellent service, drop off and pickup. On time when delivered and set where we chose. Very clean unit. Once we called to have the POD picked up, they again were on time as quoted. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Very impressive. I would highly recommend them.

    We leased a POD for a job site in Indiana and the address was at the corner of two roads, but no real "address". Delivery driver James was a peach to talk to when explaining WHERE to deliver the unit. Talked to Jose when ready for unit to be picked up and he too was great to work with.

    My home flooded, so I got a pod to temporarily hold some valuables. Schedule for the pod delivery change last minute by a few hours, and the pod came earlier. Because of the situation, pod could not be place where I wanted it. So instead of the back of the driveway where it's out of sight out of mind, now it's towards the road. Since the situation changed the driver could've asked if I wanted it in the same direction, since it's closer to the road. And when I called customer service, they said they couldn't do anything about. So they're sending a drive back out and I'm getting charged again.

    Poor handling of my account from beginning to end. Account was to be set as a long distance, the agent couldn’t find r resolve my new address and created my account as local. When it was time to relocate my unit, the agents, were not willing to schedule the relocation because they said there were no site to service my location. But there was one agent who was able to get my unit relocated at a discounted rated due to the run around I was getting. When I scheduled the relocated I got a different quote from the discounted quote. When I asked the agent to review the notes they saw the discounted rate, why don’t the agents read the notes before we get on the call? Wait there’s more.

    The unit arrive at Memphis, thank you Memphis, we get it scheduled I receive a quote and get charged something totally different the night before drop-off. I call to complain and the agent tells me that if I don’t like it then go to Memphis and get it myself. I file a complaint and was told everything was handled correctly. Lastly, when the driver who dropped off the unit comes back to pick it up, he damaged trees on the property. I call yet again to complain, the driver did file his incident, kudos to him, I asked for a refund, they hung up on me and charged my account login information.

    This is the worst moving company I have ever used in my life. I have moved several times for different jobs, and PODS has the worst communication and customer support I have ever seen in a company. When they dropped my POD off at the destination, they parked the POD in a different location than what we agreed upon. They put it in a public parking lot across the street from my apartment. I emptied my things within 2 hours because I was stressed out that it might get towed because it was not supposed to be there. I called as soon as I finished unloading and asked them to come pick it up (this was Tuesday). They told me the earliest they can get it is Thursday. I tried to tell them I don’t think it is supposed to be there and that they need to pick it up ASAP. They insisted the earliest they can get it is Thursday and that it “probably” won’t get towed.

    Sure enough, the POD got towed the next day (Wednesday). Now they are charging me $342 and saying I signed a waiver that assumes all charges that have to do with the POD. It is despicable, and I’ve tried calling and emailing a hundred people to discuss the situation. I either get re-routed back to the basic customer service line, or they tell me they don’t know enough about the situation to help me. NEVER use this company, they are snakes and the phone line employees are just there to protect the higher ups.

Staff was always friendly and accommodating, all my stuff was in perfect condition.

    PODS as a company did well with the move of my property, it arrived on time. I only had problem with two of the drivers, one delivered the pod facing the wrong direction, and even after I showed him it was wrong in the paperwork he refused to correct it and dropped it and left. The other driver hinted around for a tip for several minutes after the delivery and when he didn't get one, made a additional charge for an unpaved area, when the area clearly was on a paved driveway. PODs did refund the money for the unpaved nonsense when I showed them pictures, but it took time out of my day to get the refund.

    PODS worked well except we ordered it online and somehow didn’t see which way the door was going to open in our driveway and when it arrived the door was going to be up against the fence. The driver was nice enough to find an empty lot and switch the direction of the door. Be careful when ordering online. No one calls to confirm your order.

    Our move from California to Maine was better than I could have imagined it could be. From my first encounter as I made the initial arrangements to the pick up of our empty POD every contact, encounter along the way was easy and reassuring. Communication was timely and precise. People friendly and professional. We used a recommended company for loading which worked out well. Our possessions made it across country in perfect condition. We wholeheartedly recommend PODS for moving with ease.

    JUST THE SIMPLE TRUTH! PODS was the first place I called when we were downsizing and moving an hour away. After using a company affiliated with them to load it due to my disability and move it to the new location where it was unloaded onsite by family we had the container about two weeks. There was an issue with getting it delivered to the new place at the time we needed it to be so it would be placed in the right location. It was just dropped at an inconvenient place which caused a major dispute. In addition all-in-all it cost us around $2,000 by PODS.

We stored household goods. We were having a house built and it wasn't gonna be ready for a while. Cost was a little high. We had to pay $375 a month to store it and it was $6,000 to move it.

    I had 3 containers delivered and picked up all on different days. I had an overall good experience with the quality of containers. They did drop a really old one off that was made of wood and just had screw in eye bolts for tie downs. After a phone call I was able to get it switched out for one of the steel and fiberglass ones. Minor inconvenience but ended well.

    Out of the 6 different drivers I had for drop-offs, half of them were really competent and friendly. The others, not so much. One trashed my yard. One had a fluid leak happening on the machine that moves the trailers. He got thick black sludge all over my shrubs that got all over my cars. Had to cut a bunch of branches off to get rid of it. One pair were just completely unable to manipulate the machine and ended up calling for help. Some of the attitudes of the delivery people weren’t great in comparison to the really good ones. Overall I’d use PODS again but I’d tell others to watch out for their property and don’t settle for a crappy old POD.

    I shopped online and then, I contacted a rep before I made the decision to rent with PODS. The folks at the other end of the phone were always very cordial and professional, and seemed to take care of whatever I needed whenever I contacted them. Overall, it was a little expensive but it was a very good experience. Out of the three units I rented, one was newer and a little bit nicer. The one that was a little older was okay. The one that was a half unit got compromised somewhere along the line but other than that, they held up well and everything inside remained intact. The drivers were very friendly. They called me in advance, answered any questions that I had and seemed very efficient and qualified of what they were doing. It's amazing the work that they do with those machines.

    I called PODS and told them that I was waiting to purchase a property before I had them delivered, and they delivered them in a timely fashion. The time out was just right for us because we were in no big hurry. They were delivered as scheduled and as efficiently as you could have it done. In every contact that I had, the folks were very professional, cordial and helpful throughout the entire process. I highly commend all the staff because I didn't have any bad contacts for the whole time, and it was over a year. It was smooth sailing. We packed everything ourselves and it was just a couple of things that were mispacked that broke. But overall, if 99% of your stuff comes through clean, that’s good.

    PODS was wonderful. We sold our house and we had to be out in 30 days. So, I was in a major problem with where I was going to put all my items and how I was going to store them. When I did some research, I found out about PODS, the size of the pod, how they could deliver it to my house, they could put it in storage, and they would be more than glad to bring it to wherever I needed them to deliver it to. Their services were outstanding. I booked with them online and it was the easiest think I ever had to deal with in my life.

    We moved a lot of items into our garage and at the time, we weren't home, so I asked them to deliver the pod and put it in front of the garage door on the left and just give us enough room to get in and out. They put it exactly where we needed it and made it very easy for us as we were taking items out of our home that we were able to put in the pod. When we had the pod full, which took about three days, I went online and told them that it was ready to be picked up. The next thing I knew, it was gone. I looked at the pod carefully and it was in very good condition. In fact, it was a little bit better than what I expected, so I had no issues putting personal belongings in it. When it was delivered, my wife could not believe how helpful they were and how receptive the driver was. They were more than accommodating to place the pod where we needed to get it unloaded and we found that the items inside were just as we put them in five years ago.

    At one point, I had an issue with my credit card. The company canceled it and issued me a new one. I forgot to tell PODS about it and when I called them up after about three years, I gave them all the new information. I told them I was sorry for the delay in paying them because I knew I was a few days late. They took the information and they were extremely accommodating.

So, I had to call and talk to somebody. There was a little bit of wait for somebody to get on the phone, but it was easy and they handled everything for me.

    I requested for the 16-footer pod. We had three sets of bedroom furniture, antiques, books, and household items. The pod was picked up in July of 2022 and we had it delivered to the property here in Texas the 12th of February. All we did was to get online and I scheduled the delivery and that was it. They came here in a timely manner, dropped it off where I wanted it, and they were gone. It took us less than a week to get it emptied because we were able to put everything in the garage, and they were able to come pick it up Monday.

    Moved from northern NY to southern NC. Called PODS on the recommendation of a friend. Had two pods delivered one month prior to moving date. Filled the PODS at my leisure and had them picked up and stored for two months while the new house was being constructed. After the closing, I had the PODS delivered to our new home. We unloaded them and both were picked up. It was simple to order the PODS and relatively inexpensive, especially compared to a moving company. They also offered helpers, which we did not require. For do it yourselfers, you can't beat PODS when moving.

    I retired in December, and, after 30+ years in Indiana, moved home to SC. I got several moving quotes, and PODS was significantly less than moving companies. I was a little hesitant in the beginning, but I’m now a PODS fan. I loved having the luxury of more than a week to load and more than a week to unload the two PODS I used. Drivers were punctual, courteous, and helpful. I don’t plan on EVER moving again, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use PODS again!

    It's not cheap - but it's cheaper than using a moving company and in today's living times it fits most people's moving requirements. I didn't want to bring a whole houseful of furniture: some was junk and some were pieces that I didn't have an emotional tie to. We got a small pod. It was delivered when they said it would be. We had the choice of loading ourselves or hiring workers to assist. PODS had a list of people we could use. They assisted tremendously.

    The POD was picked up the next day (this is negotiable) and it was delivered to me at a convenient time. No breakage as the assistant team were very good at tying down the articles. I did the unload myself because it was a flat area and the pod fit next to the garage. The POD was picked up the next day. It was all very efficient and the way PODS works is they give you prices and you design your moving experience. It was quite a pleasant experience. We started with another company because they were cheaper, but, after a week of planning it was apparent they didn't know what they were doing. Called PODS and everything was organized and arranged within 90 minutes. This is the only way to move. ONE THING: when you have your dates and time for them to drop off and pick up the pod - you will want to have your camera available. This is a awesome sight to behold and you will want a video of it to show your friends!!!!

    PODS LIES. BEWARE. We subscribed to three storage containers from PODS, two large and one small. For over 22 months, we paid for their services for a total of over 18,000.00 dollars. When we initially called to hire their services, we were told that "PODS delivers everywhere in the United States," this was a lie that multiple agents have clearly been trained to propagate. However, PODS does not deliver on this promise or "everywhere in the U.S.," for that matter. Initially, we obtained the containers in El Paso, Texas, and told the sales rep that we would need our belongings stored long-term as we did not know where in the U.S. we would be buying our home. After almost two years, we finally purchased our home, and when it came time to have our PODS delivered, we were told that our containers would not be delivered to our home in New Mexico.

    After attempting to deal with multiple reps and a so-called "Customer Advocacy – Resolution Specialist," James **, PODS refused to honor their promise and even refused to assist us with a discounted month's storage rent fee, which would have helped with giving us enough time to transport our belongings over a few weeks. Instead, we had to empty out over 32 feet (length) by 6 feet (width) and 8 feet (height) worth of stuff (about a 4-bedroom home, kitchen, living room, etc.) all in one day.

    My three children, my wife, and I had to travel over 4 hours from our new home down to El Paso, where PODS put our containers on their parking lot for us to empty them out into the biggest U-Haul we could rent, which also required a trailer we attached to the U-Haul, in order to get our belongings and then traveled another 4 hours back home the same day. If you've ever moved, you can imagine the pain this was, and all because PODS refused to help make it right for the customer.

    It's fair to say that if PODS trains their reps to over-promise, and as a multi-million dollar corporation (not to mention the almost $20k I paid them), asking them to deliver our items or help us with a discounted month's storage fee is nothing more than a drop-in-the-bucket for them, financially speaking. While this review might not grasp much attention, on the off-chance that it does, PODS will rather come out with a PR-drafted apology to save face and promise to "look into things" while not changing anything internally. It's no wonder that they have a 1.5-star review on places like Consumer Affairs and Yelp (something I wish I had known prior). Ultimately, this is done. I had to endure financial losses, time, and a body ache that will take weeks to recover from, but alas, I hope it helps the next person.

I thought all was good until a sheriff showed up at my family's door saying PODS went to repossess the container and it wasn't there so they were filing charges for theft! I was in disbelief. Not only have they continued charging me monthly rent but now they are saying I stole their container. I am beyond furious. When I called PODS to get a better understanding they said they did not pick up the POD. So not only is all my friend's things missing but so is the container and now they are trying to send me to jail. This is absolutely unacceptable. Do not rent from this company.

I would definitely stay away from this moving company. If you are lucky to have call answered there is a language barrier and each call I’ve made (over 15 stopped counting), each call over (1) hour.

    I ordered a 18' POD for storage to ready a house to go on the market. On the "Container Delivery Checklist" it specifically states that you need 12' of width and 15' of height for container delivery. When the driver arrived he said it won't fit because he needs 20' of width. He never even got out of the truck to measure it! I told him to leave and I would cancel. When I called to cancel and explained the situation they told me it is the driver's discretion. Why have the checklist? They called the location and they said they would send another driver three days later.

    In the meantime I called PackRat and ordered a container. Immediately called back and canceled the POD. They assured me I wasn't charged and wouldn't be. A few days later a charge pops up in my bank account. I called again to see what it was for, again I was told it was a hold and would drop off. A few days later it was actually charged to my account. Again I had to call and complain to get a refund. I will never ever use PODS because none of my properties have a 20' wide driveway. I highly recommend looking elsewhere.

In addition to letting me down on the number of containers I was next informed that because they had no drivers available it would be another 13 days before they could deliver the other two containers! This in the middle of a far away out of state move. Their customer service is a joke, with every person you talk to telling you a different story.

    In my experience for at least three of the many phone calls I made to PODS, I was given different and later discovered disputable charge/fee information that differed from the actual billing statement I received later. And no supervisor was available to speak with, to resolve it. When I called to schedule the re-delivery and pick up of the POD container, the Customer Service Agent #1 told me if I returned the redelivery POD container early then my monthly rate would be pro-rated.

    Yet it was not reflected on my final statement. I called and Customer Service Agent #2 said they would request a refund. No one notified me of any decision, and it was not shown on my account, so I called again, and was informed that only partial pro-rated amount was issued, only partial from Customer Service Agent #3.

    Customer Service Agent #3 informed me that PODS does not offer pro-rated amounts on early pick-ups, and wanted to file yet another request for a refund, and even though this agent had me wait for 33 minutes for a Supervisor to attend to this #3 call, no one came. Customer Service Agents #1, #2, and #3 all gave different information, and worse there was no one responsible and capable of resolving it. Agent #3 told me that all Supervisors, Managers, Senior Managers, and Site Directors are "off-shore" and none speak English as their first language so there is usually problems with the communication as well. ---It is Dishonest to have Customer Service Agents quote a rate and fee that is different/more expensive than what the actual billing statement says later.

    DO NOT USE!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS, no matter how appealing the service is the customer service teams aren't capable of helping you once they screw your order up. Let me be clear, when THEY screw your order up, not you. I paid PODS $2k to move me, they happily took my money and my POD after confirming my move dates/times multiple times leading to the pickup. The day after they come take my POD, they call me in the morning and say they have cancelled my move altogether and won't reschedule it until I fill out forms. Well, I already filled the forms out a week prior and multiple times to be sure...but the PODS website doesn't work and didn't accept the forms. So their answer is just cancel my move. I had to spend 8 hours that day talking to 15 different people in customer service, 20 emails sending forms back and forth, supervisors involved, multiple people hung up on me, I cried multiple times, etc and I still have no resolution.

    PODS still has my money, still has my stuff and still won't move me. All because they can't figure out how to manage their forms. Even if they ever do figure out a form and schedule my move, I have about 1% faith my stuff will ever make it or show up. I also asked if they would just refund me and bring my stuff back, that didn't appear to be an option either. So, just don't put yourself through this, moving is stressful enough, don't let PODS bait and switch you with the ease.

    Be Aware that if you order another Pod not on the SAME DAy as the 1st one, IT WILL COST MORE. After 8 phone calls and 13 emails, they refuse to tell me sorry or professionally and legitimately the reason it was $300 more just because it was not on the same day. That's not all that happened. The headquarters are in Tampa Fl and I couldn't get anyone from that location to assist me because they had to evacuate due to Hurricane threats. I've lived in South East Fl 40 years and understand that process more than most. So I ended up speaking to the answering service across the pond and the csr was terrible.

    I needed another pod and the clock was ticking to move before the end of the month. I finally said OK even though they never explained why it was $300 more than just a week prior. I still had 20 days to pick up and deliver 820 miles. I called the Tampa office and was told 4 times (4 calls over the next 2 months) that they would rewrite it the same cost. It never happened. The company stopped responding to me and said case closed and I can go to another company next time. I have it documented email.

    We were told by a customer service representative that we could order a second PODs and only have to pay for the delivery and pickup if we didn't end up using that PODs in our move. Then after it was delivered we were told that that isn't the case and that we'd have to pay for the full month's storage of the POD even though we didn't use it, approximately $3500. For our main POD that we used to move across the country, we confirmed the delivery date before we moved and then while we were trying to confirm the delivery the day prior, we found out that the delivery date was never updated in their system and we would have to wait several additional days. PODs needs to do better.

    I ordered a POD on November 9th and it was delivered on November 11th as promised. Delivery was uneventful! Driver was wonderful. I prepaid for a month rental. I called today because I was able to secure an apartment and will not need the POD as long as anticipated. I was informed that not only would I have to pay the pick up fee, but I would not be refunded for the days I did not use the POD.

    Customer service was horrible, first gentleman I spoke with informed me that I would not get a refund and when I asked to speak with a supervisor, he basically told me that the supervisor would not tell me anything different but he would inform her of the situation. She did not tell me anything different, in fact she was totally indifferent to the situation. So now I have a POD that will sit empty for the next 8 days that I have paid for but I won't send it back to POD for them to not only keep my money but to rent it out to another customer, hence being paid twice for the same POD. BAD BUSINESS! Tell everyone, DO NOT USE!

    I ordered two POD containers, which were both delivered timely. I provided the SAME pickup dates for both containers 11/6/2023, as the property is a rental and they could NOT remain on the property after my move out date. Without notification one of the PODS was rescheduled for PICK up well after my move out date from my unit, which mean it would have to stay on the property and I would be charged a HUGE fine from the HOA and required to pay RENT on the property I no longer occupied. After escalating to have a POD supervisor or higher address the discrepancy they were able to schedule a pick up date for 7 days after my move out date. I submitted an inquiry to have my issue investigated and NEVER received a response until 11/28/23, stating the case has been resolved and closed.

    Upon calling PODS to inform them that I never received any correspondence regarding the status of my case, the representative I spoke to was very condescending, rude, and impatient. After telling her NOT to speak to me in the tone or manner she had "SHE HUNG UP." I called back and found out the representative NEVER submitted a case for my original inquiry regarding the case being closed and no resolution provided or offered. I have been a PODS customer on and off for 9 years and I must state that the customer service has DECLINED SEVERELY. I will have my belongings removed and moved into another storage container company, as this is UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR from a company that suppose to pride themselves on customer service. I DO NOT recommend using this company for the cost they should have more professional personnel assisting customers.

    We used four PODs for a major move: 2 for household and 2 small ones for the office. The people who delivered the PODs were great. Good service. PODs advertises that you have the lock and your things won't be bothered==it is a scam. OR they don't realize that they have very dishonest people somewhere between pickup and delivery. My husband wondered how many different locks and keys they have, as well as how hard it would be to pick a lock, because... Our things that were carefully loaded by professionals were loosely tied and the PODs were no longer full.

    We are still figuring out what we are missing. One example: two identical custom made small tables were packed nestled together in the midst of other items: one arrived, the other didn't. We lost a set of beautiful custom drapes made from fabric I purchased in India 30 years ago. One POD had clearly been unpacked and then repacked: we had put a very valuable antique Persian rug as the last thing packed so I could put it on the floor of my new office before unloading other things. Imagine how we felt when we opened the POD and it wasn't there! Plus things were not securely packed and had moved around a lot. An antique Korean coin chest, which had been carefully wrapped in many layers of bubble wrap and then carefully loaded, was no longer well wrapped and was damaged because it wasn't secured.

    Well, we finally got to the back of the POD --and there was the rug! We hadn't lost it after all! Then we realized that the POD had been emptied and then reloaded. Yet our lock was on it! We often ask, "Did you see X?" and then we realize that something else was missing. If you decide to use PODs, which by the way doesn't let you leave a review on their website, get your own lock, and take photographs of every single box that you add and photos of every layer. However, that won't allow you to recover things that are special to you that will go missing! Next time I move, I am renting a UHaul and driving it myself!

Customer service sent the driver to reposition the container the following day and charged me $105.93. Why? It was the driver's fault. When I complained they said, "placement of the container was the discretion of the driver". How? I will NEVER USE PODS AGAIN!! I want them to reimburse to me the $105.93.

    Where to start. I looked into PODS because I did not have housing set up. They offered to deliver it early. I ASKED PRIOR TO DELIVERY would it adjust anything on my account, and was told no. Lie #1. The POD was advertised to fit roughly under 1200 sq ft of house. Their biggest one fits closer to 950, maybe 1000. I had to get rid of so much furniture. Lie #2. It started my billing cycle and I had to had it read for pick up sooner. I was told to have it shipped within the month to the new location, per the process. When I called to pay to have it shipped to the state I was told AFTER they processed the payment that they could have waited to ship and they could have just stored it there. Overall from start to finish PODS has been a headache and a thorn in my side. I wanted hassle free and got all the hassle. Would not recommend.

Come to find out it HAD arrived and they billed me $800 for storage claiming that I never scheduled a time to deliver. How am I supposed to know to do that when I've spoken to your service rep and they never suggested I do so in addition to LYING and giving me the wrong information about my container?!

    I then called and complained MULTIPLE times, and each time they said someone would "review my complaint" and get back to me. NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON called, emailed, wrote, texted, or anything. Every call with their 1800 number takes stress and 30 minutes of your life and I decided I want nothing to do with this company. Do NOT use them for long distance transfers. They suck.

    I had a disappointing experience with PODS when I requested their service to move my belongings from one location to another. After receiving a quote and providing all the necessary details, including both addresses, I expected a smooth and stress-free move. However, after loading my belongings into the POD and paying for the service, I encountered several issues. PODS refused to deliver the POD to the final destination and suggested that I pick up my belongings at their storage center, presenting this as the only alternative. Unfortunately, this was far from an 'amazing choice.'

    Throughout this ordeal, PODS exhibited a complete lack of concern for their customers. Despite my efforts to contact them and seek a resolution, they remained unresponsive. It's evident that they prioritize their financial interests over their customers' satisfaction and the service they committed to provide. I've formally requested a refund, but I have yet to receive a response. Given this situation, it appears that legal action may be the only avenue to recover my funds and seek justice for the inadequate service provided. I urge anyone considering PODS to exercise caution and carefully evaluate their options, as my experience has been deeply frustrating and unsatisfactory.

    I waited to make any kind of review or complaint because of the way this company practices business. Both separate quotes I received originally included redelivery of the pods and everything went very smoothly at first. The drivers were kind and accommodating. But when it was time to have the pods redelivered, Pods told me I had to pay for redelivery. Pods basically extorted me for nearly twice as much as the original quotes combined. And the second pod wasn’t delivered for 5 days after scheduled originally. It was beyond disappointing and it’s generally a horrific thing to do to a family considering the circumstances.

    Aside from their unethical business practices, they seem to have awful security. Everytime I entered payment information into the website, I got scam. Called with information that only Pods would have had. I don’t expect a lot out of most big companies but Pods has been exceptionally disappointing with their unethical business practices.

    Especially if you plan a long distance move with storage. Billing errors are frequent and calls to customer service involve 20 - 30 minute waits while they look over your account. Several times a customer rep acknowledged an error was made, even processed a review and was told a credit was being issued. When credit wasn’t received another rep said it was not approved and the charges were accurate. I spoke with almost a dozen reps and each one told me something different. They duplicate and overcharge and you will never receive a refund as they politely mislead and misrepresent what you will be charged. They decline all disputes from your credit card and provide statements that make the charges look legitimate. At the end I could have bought new stuff for the price I ended up paying.

    I want to start by saying my initial delivery and pickup was seamless. I conducted a military move from San Diego, CA to LA, CA. After my POD was picked up from San Diego I actually followed the driver to the weigh station, as I had to weigh my own truck and trailer, and physically saw him get weighed. I requested my POD be transported from San Diego to LA immediately. My account reflected the delivery from San Diego to the Compton facility as requested. After a month in storage, I found a place and was ready to arrange delivery. I was unable to request a delivery date online. It took 2 days before I was able to get an agent on the phone. I arranged a date, and was told to wait for the delivery timeframe 24 hours prior. That never came. It took another full day to get anyone on the phone. I was then told that my POD was still in San Diego, and lo and behold, my account now no longer reflected the transport documented a month ago.

    Over the course of 4 or 5 days, I spoke to numerous representatives, some who were phone operators with no idea what company I was even calling for, and no one knew where my POD was. Finally, my POD was confirmed to be at the Compton facility, and I was able to arrange delivery. I am told I only get the POD for a 4 hour window, they can't drop it and leave it. Additionally, when told it needs to be weighed, I told FIVE different agents that it had been weighed already in San Diego upon initial pick up, and I had already been charged for it. Despite this, it was weighed again.

    However, now it was being delivered on a completely different type of truck, so the full weight ticket was almost 1000 pounds lighter than my empty ticket. Obviously for a military move, this isn't acceptable and for a company that loudly advertises their military move expertise, this is ridiculous. So I called again, and finally got an actual POD employee, who happily called the San Diego office and obtained a copy of my original full weight ticket. That easy. Why couldn't the other 5 agents do that?

    Now I am 2 months into a dispute to get my weight ticket charge refunded, because I told multiple agents that I already had a ticket and was already charged, but they weighed it again anyway, and they weighed it on a lighter truck so the ticket was void for my purposes. Despite being contacted by a customer advocacy specialist, and providing all the requested information for my dispute, 2 months later I still haven't heard anything back, despite repeated emails requesting a status update.

    For as convenient as the concept of this service is, the amount of run around and incompetence is unacceptable. I will say, when I spoke to actual POD employees, they were knowledgeable, helpful, and quickly tried to resolve any issues. But more often than not it was a call center operator who had no clue what was going on and delayed any resolution.

My husband and I booked a move with them through an agent. We were told our pod would be delivered to our new destination state the 24th of September. It was picked up from our home at the time the 18th of September. We arrived in our new state on the 22nd and after days had gone by and multiple attempts to call pods we were informed our pod was still sitting in our prior home state and told that the agent that we booked with never entered a pick up date and that it was never discussed (which is untrue because we based our moving date and new rental date move in around this).

    We were told they were sorry for the error and our pod would be expedited to our new location… The expedited date is October 5- which was 11 days from the expedited date. 11 days was longer than the estimated time we were originally given from the first agent- not expedited. We have been in our new state with close to nothing having to repurchase all the items that are sitting in our pod. We paid nearly $4,000. When we reached out to customer service we were hung up on multiple times when we asked to be connected with a supervisor. We were also told we had “cases opened” and would be reached out to within 24-72 hours. We didn’t receive a single phone call back from those cases and still haven’t.

    We finally were able to get ahold of Sherry in disputes department via email and she told us they would have to review our phone calls to decide what they would do. 24 hours later she responded and told us after reviewing our phone calls they were not in the wrong and nothing would be done to rectify the situation. My husband and I relocated for a government job and we will be sure to let our co-workers that do multiple moves a year now to stay as far away from this company as possible!

    We retained PODS to move and store our guards from our home in Dallas Texas. We knew that it would be some months or years before we would settle on a new place and PODS stored the unit. We were assured that they had coverage coast to coast and city to city. When we settled in Brownwood Texas we were advised that it was an area, they did not service and that we were required to continue to pay storage even though they could not deliver the pod. Our only option was to, at our own cost, have the pod removed from storage, unloaded into our own moving truck and taken to our new home. It was the exact opposite of what was promised us at the outset. In addition, no person with decision-making authority will accept a call or reply to an email. We are constantly referred only to their credit department which is in the business of collecting money, not customer service.

    I was told at the beginning of the sales process that I could provide dates and locations for the entire move and everything would be scheduled. That is not the truth. Once they made the sale, they then informed me I had to book pickup (which took 6 days) and transport to another city (2 weeks? REALLY) as well as delivery separately. I should have rented a container from a shipping company and arranged everything myself. What a nightmare. For my troubles they credited me $100 (whoopee!!!). This is a rental scam as nothing can be delivered anywhere in less than a month. I would not recommend PODs to anyone unless you like doing all the work while still paying the provider. They are a logistics provider who can't get logistics right. Very disappointing.

    Avoid this company at all costs! They operate illegally and could not care any less about customers and frankly they prey on whoever falls victim to using their services. It's a scam company. I was quoted and paid for 2 months of a pod but what they don't tell you is that these pods are illegal and when the bylaw officer comes by and gives a citation and orders it to be removed Pods WILL NOT REMOVE IT. They will not come back to pick up the pod and THEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR ADDITIONAL MONTHS. Pods refused to comply with the bylaw order to remove the pod and yes they still kept charging me for the pod that they refused to remove and sent it to collections to attempt to bully and scam the money out of me. I spent 5+ hours on the phone trying to get them to pick it up.

    What they do is restrict you from booking a pick up online, people on the chat feature say they don't have the authority to pick it up, they don't respond to emails and they will put you on hold for over 5 hours in hopes you will hang up so they can keep charging for a pod. When I finally got ahold of someone they said the pod would be picked up that day, it wasn't. Then you have to keep calling them back and waiting 5 hrs to speak to someone to ask why it wasn't picked up to be told "I don't know why they told you it would be picked up, it wasn't scheduled for pick up." I had to repeat this process multiple times all while the bylaw fine for not complying is $5000. Pods was in violation of the order for months!

    Then when the pod is finally removed the driveway is cracked and crumbling underneath where the pod was and the truck and "Podzilla" will drive all over your lawn taking up grass with it. Pods won't respond or address any of the issues. Also Pods will not send you copies of any contracts or agreements, they refuse to provide copies. They refuse to address the issues. They refused to comply with the bylaw laws. They refuse everything. I've sent them pictures of the drive way multiple times and they claim they don't receive it as a tactic to not pay for the damages. It's been sent multiple times and I checked my outbox to confirm it was sent. How much we want to bet social media @Pods will respond telling me to email them to discuss the issue as if I haven't for months already???

    I should preface by saying I personally have not used PODS, but after our experience with them I never will and will advise everyone I know to avoid them. We spent a week and a half trying to have one of their containers removed from our driveway after closing on our house. It was impossible to reach the local facility and every call to the corporate number we were given conflicting information or told it would be “picked up within 24 hours.” (This happened 3 separate times.) At one point we were even told the container owner was deceased. We had our real estate agent and the seller’s agent also reaching out. Our agent went as far as emailing the CEO Kathy Marinello who essentially blamed us for the seller being shady with a rather snarky response.

    “Sadly our employees are subject to customers who don't pay their bill, nor adhere to their contracted responsibilities. The seller left their garbage, refused to answer phone calls as well as pay their bill. Our employees ultimately are impacted by these consumer behaviors. In this case, your buyer received free garbage removal services. We received nothing for compensation to our great employees. But that is no concern of yours.”

    While I appreciate leadership that stands up for their employees, perhaps consider going after the people that breached their contract for damages before blaming the people that used you for “free garbage removal services” and for your failure to factor in how to compensate employees appropriately when issues arise. A fish rots from the head down.

    When I first setup my account with Pods in May 2023. I was given one price of what the remaining balance would be for the transport of my items to my new apartment. Then when I called in September 2023 to have them deliver my items the price was a extremely huge difference. I was told it would be a balance left of 500.00 back in May. Then in September I was told it would cost me over 2k to have it delivered and once delivered to the Pods location in the state I moved to. I would have to pay again another 200.00 just for them to deliver it to my place on top of the 2k they charge me to even have them deliver to the state I am currently in. I would not recommend them to anyone because of the misleading.

    PODS should limit itself to what it can best manage--local storage needs. I've been a PODS customer for four years and in three different states: NY, Oregon, and now--maybe, if they get it right -- California. Between online chat and telephone customer service, I spent thirty minutes on the phone submitting an order, which PODS confirmed by email: Deliver the container to California, make it accessible for unloading on September 14th. Three days after submitting the order I received PODS generated email message confirming additional changes I requested.

    Here's the problem, I made no request for additional changes. PODS made an error and could not deliver on the promise it made. So, it made the modifications to my order and sent a message indicating I'd asked for them. I took me another 30-40 minutes to discover the nature of the "internal error"; "someone didn't show up" leading to delayed pick up, "Moving logistics..." problems... etc. industry jargon... etc.

    This morning, I received another PODS generated message indicating my container would be accessible on the day I originally requested, September 14th. Yet, my account reflects access on the 19th--adding to the confusion. I had another chat and phone conversation with PODS reps. The customer service representative indicated PODS would reach out to me the next day with resolution and possibly request additional information. What additional information it could possibly need from me about the error it made that is not reflected in painful detail in the chat and recorded phone call transcripts, I haven't the slightest idea.

    Today, I spent another 40 minutes on the phone with PODS to learn the POD has left its origin--six days after I submitted the order, 5 days after the original confirmed indication of when it would leave. It has been over 72 hours since I first submitted my report, I am no closer to resolution than I was the day I learned of the error. I reviewed the company on YELP and received a reply from their "reputation" department. Thus far, that response has been without substantive merit of any kind, merely an indication that "the team" is "familiarizing" itself with my account. Further, it's taken at least three different people to communicate just that. During this "familiarization," I pay for both a hotel room where there's at least a bed and an empty apartment while I wait for my belongings to arrive.

    Based on my experience, here is what seems to be true--PODS can:
    * Store your items in a container you pack and secure;
    * Deliver your container to you for your access in a timely fashion if you are local to its facility;

    * Pick up your container in a timely fashion after you've accessed it from your residence--again, if you are local to the facility where your container is stored.

    PODS cannot:
    * Process out of state moving orders in a consistently proper manner;
    * Meet the material terms of agreements with their out of state move customers (note: in relocation logistics, dates of pick up, delivery, and access are material terms)
    * Provide timely resolution to time-sensitive issues resulting in customer loss of time, use, and dollars.

    * Give customer service reps the education and support they need to competently provide accurate, consistent information every time

    Do better, PODS; do better or do local storage, pickup and delivery--alone.

    I booked my pod in July for a delivery date in September. I had movers booked for a few days after, the day of the delivery, no one showed up. When I reached out to Pods they told me to wait until 9pm, still no one showed up. I was then told it wouldn't be delivered for another 3 days (came EOD on that 3rd day might I add, you would think I would at least be first on the delivery schedule, but no). I was not given a reason as to why it never showed up. I have since been told I would be getting a refund of around $400 for my troubles, given that I had to then pay more for the movers I had scheduled (DAYS after the pod was supposed to arrive). I submitted my claim starting 9/2. On 9/5 I was told someone would call me that week with an update once someone 'reviews' my expected refund. It is now 9/11, and I was told today it could take another 3-7 business days, but they would do their best to 'expedite my case to the case manager'. I have reached out to the point of contact, and heard absolutely nothing in return.

    They claim these situations 'NEVER happen', yet my case manager must be absolutely inundated with similar experiences, or surely they would have gotten back to me by now. I wish I just spent the extra money and paid for professional movers. With the pod not showing up, this delayed my scheduled move in over 10 days, I can't even have a friend visit over a week after I was supposed to be completed with this Pod because they have no available pick ups. This company charges you to make ANY changes to your reservation and pick up / drop off dates, yet they can completely screw up and not deliver even close to the contract date and offer no solution or refund. I also reached out to their team whom they tell you to when writing a poor review to show that they 'care', and they assured me my case manager would get back to me soon, but still waiting.

    We lived in an apartment complex and were looking for short-term off-site storage solutions to accommodate an upcoming move. Because we lived in an apartment complex and were moving out of said apartment complex on July 15th, we called PODS to put our belongings in a storage container and take said storage container immediately to warehouse storage. As soon as you move out of an apartment complex, all of your belongings must be removed from the premises. This is why we called PODS to understand the cost of warehouse off-site storage. We knew that we would be living in temporary housing for a few months, and would need our belongings stored in a POD offsite at a POD warehouse as soon as we moved out of the apartment complex were were living in.

    I called PODS to arrange this request. I was abundantly clear that we needed offsite storage, and that both the final delivery date and location were unknown to us as we would need offsite storage for an undetermined period of time. The conversation lasted an hour, during which time the PODS representative asked us multiple questions about our move. In our conversation, the agent understood that we would need our POD to be taken away from the apartment complex we were vacating AS SOON as it was packed on July 15th, and taken to offsite storage.

    We were quoted a monthly price for offsite storage in the amount of approximately $132.17 for the first month, and $189.95 subsequent months thereafter. We were also quoted pricing for “takeaway full and redeliver full” in the amount of $143, in which our fully packed POD would be taken to warehouse storage for an undetermined amount of time, and stored FOR us by PODS until we were able to determine our permanent residence in which the POD would be delivered back to us full for unloading.

    This agreement was clear in our one-hour conversation with the representative. Additionally, I made several calls in the months preceding our confirmed booking asking about where the POD would be stored and if the warehouses were climate-controlled as I needed offsite storage. The need for offsite storage was always a part of the reservation and never in question on my end.

    I received a phone call from PODS less than 24 hours prior to my move where they seemed confused about where the POD was going to be delivered once it was fully packed. I explained that the representative who set up our account was clear on the fact that the POD would be moved to warehouse storage until further notice from me. I explained they got our order wrong as not only did we not know where we were moving to, we ALWAYS needed offsite warehouse storage from them.

    This error was not our fault as we made it abundantly clear to the POD representative exactly what we needed. Furthermore, the call should have been recorded, thus the evidence of our first call is documented to prove that we ALWAYS needed our POD to be stored offsite in a warehouse for an undetermined period of time.

    Regardless of the mistake made by whoever set up our account, we have been charged more than what we were quoted for both “takeaway full and redeliver full” and for monthly storage. I filed a complaint and the representative named Ashely who handled the complaint didn't even review our initial call where were booked the POD and received quoted pricing for offsite storage costs. Do not do business with this company as they will not only arbitrarily bill you for unknown pricing increases with NO NOTICE, but they have no way of contacting them or speaking to a person without being on hold for over an hour. We will never use PODS again.

    Pods is very easy to use, you call them up and you select your preferred size. In my case they had three sizes when we were looking back in January of 2023. They had only two sizes available the 7 x 7 x 8 and then the really really big one. We knew we had sold most of our stuff and we did not want to move an entire household, so for us we chose the 7 x 7 x 8. So with that we contacted them, we scheduled them for the drop off and then we packed it up. It took us longer to Pack it than to unpack it because it was very strategic with how we were going to make so much fit in such a small enclosure and then we scheduled a pick up. They stored it for us for the duration.

    We started with a six month contract 'cause we thought we were being optimistic thinking we would find our land and forever property in six months and then after that, they stored for us and it was up to us to give them our destination. We were not sure exactly where we were going to have them ship it to cause when we left Portland we did not know what state we were going tend up in. So we had to store it and then once we arrived here and had the property we scheduled to have it delivered. They dropped it off and then we scheduled a time where they would come to pick it up and we just had to make sure the pod was empty by that day.

She checked with the prior customer service rep and said it was cancelled because it was the wrong price!! I told her I got a 30% discount being a new customer. She then told me to start a new order and I gave her the container number. She said I needed to talk to business services and was hung up on after the transfer. I called business services and spoke to Oliver. He said that there would be no problem with the order. Once the month ran out on the container rented by the contractor, everything would go into my name be billed. I was contacted by the local POD about delivering my new POD unit. I explained I wanted to keep the existing one. The local manager was very helpful and said he would cancel the order so I wouldn’t get a new one and he would have someone from operations contact me.

    Kelly from operations called me and was very sympathetic and said she would try and get this resolved. I told her that I would have made other arrangements if they had told me all this in advance.

    I do NOT recommend this moving/storage service to anyone! Especially if you are planning to move cross country/cross border (US <> Canada) - STAY AWAY. It took me several calls to their customer support team to understand what was going on with my order. I had to get passed along at least 5-6 times in 1 phone call to talk to someone who knows how to help me.

    The day when I scheduled a mover to come to pick up my belongings using "City Service", they came at least 2 hours late without any notice. I was freaking out when no one arrived 30mins later than when it was scheduled. It took me a 40-45min phone call with their customer service team to learn that the movers were short-staffed and they would be late. At least I deserved to get a phone call to know that this would happen. I was left worried that no one would actually show up because I received no confirmation that someone would arrive.

    I'm currently going through filling out the required customs forms to move to Canada from the US and it's been a nightmare. I sent in the required forms about 2 weeks ago with no response or confirmation that it was received, left me worried since I will be moving to Canada next weekend. I had to give a call, yet again, to check the status. It turns out there was a note saying some information was missing but I was not aware of this missing info that was needed from me. I keep sending them updated forms with the info they keep telling me that is missing but keep rejecting it back with no clear clarification on what is missing. The only way to contact this department is via email... We will see if my belongings actually make it across. I am very disappointed.

    I used them for an out of state move in April. When I was ready for them to be delivered to my new home August, 3 the online scheduling stopped working after I got the first POD scheduled. I tried calling customer service and would be on hold for an hour. Did multiple online chats over a few week trying to get verification that my PODS would be delivered August 3, 2023. Sometimes they would hang up on me. My account only had my billing information but had lost all history of my pods delivery etc.

    They're billing me every month worked! They had no concern for my not having any confirmation that my pods would be delivered on time. Last week I looked at my account and had two charged that they said were past due and I’d have a penalty. They had the same credit card on file they’d billed to for over 4 months. I did an online chat and pointed out they had the card information and that my last month was a partial month. I was told it would be prorated, but wasn’t.

    I called yesterday to ask that they refund me for the half of a month that they charged me for after they’d picked up my empty pods. I received an email today that they wouldn’t refund the partial month because they went through recorded phone calls and did not find where I’d been told that. That’s because you could never get anyone to answer so I was forced to use the online chat. Apparently they don’t find the need to keep those. I paid this company $5,400 to move the pods 175 miles and store them for 3 1/2 months. But they still won’t be fair and honest and refund $300! I would not recommend this company to anyone.

    I rented a unit for 30 days. I was expecting to pack it and have it moved within the 30 day window and now my daughter's apartment isn't ready. I called Pods to request a daily fee or a courtesy of 4 days without an additional monthly fee of $209. I was told they could extend three days free, but not the 4th day and I would be charged a half month storage fee. An extra 24 hours would cost me $109. This is ludicrous. An extra 24 hours. This company is ripping people off and have no consideration for their customers at all.

    Hi, Renee! Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. You can keep your container for as long as you need, but we only offer a monthly rental payment option. We don’t prorate or charge by the day.

    We have had a terrible experience with PODS! The delivery was satisfactory, but the pick-up has been awful. First, the first opportunity to schedule a pick-up was nearly three weeks away. Then they only picked up one of the two pods we rented. I immediately called and was assured we would not be charged for another month when they could not pick up the pod within the 30-day rental window. Yet we were charged anyway, and our dispute to refund the charges was declined. I just called again and the automated system indicated that the call-back time is 2 hours. No doubt from other displeased customers.

    Wouldn’t put large pod out front as said it wouldn’t fit but could drive car past it. Fine. Customer service a joke!! Offshored to Philippines. Cannot comprehend anything! No help. Just piss you off. Couldn’t get smaller pods here in time so have to change to U-Haul which is what I should have done. Want to charge me cancellation fee!!! Appalling!!

    Rented POD. Delivered. With recommendation from PODS' hired company to pack it. They were great. They were almost done and found an ant nest inside the pod. Had to stop packing and treat the ants and the delay cost me more money because they bill by time. Then it rained. Just out of curiosity I went out to make sure it wasn’t leaking. It was leaking. My cardboard boxes were wet. Had to get new boxes and repack them. Not knowing where the leak was coming from I had to by myself unload the entire 16 foot POD. I had paid over $800 to have it packed. Three phone calls of waiting over 45 minutes each time I talked to a representative who said they would refund my money. Well they refunded a portion but I am still waiting for over $1000.00 No response from PODS.

    I ordered PODS for my move from PA to NC. I thought this would be the most convenient for such a big move. They delivered one POD and not our second POD. Both were to be delivered the same day. They refused to refund any of our money. I made a dispute and it was denied because my POD was “expedited” we didn’t receive until 8 days later. This POD has all the much need tools and tool boxes for repair to our new home. I couldn’t get anyone on the phone to assist me.

    I called the executive office and was told that they could not help me and referred me back to the dispute department. They were supposed to call me and never did. I called several times and left a message. I sent an email requesting a refund and they never replied. I canceled my debit card and got a new one. After everything they tried to charge me more money. I wish I had read reviews prior to using them. They have no customer service, impossible to get on the phone, don’t deliver as promised on contact, and are extremely rude. I would not recommend.
