Not a fan. Suggested wrong size of Pods so one too big the other too small. And one of the companies the recommended to help with loading sent me a less than competent and professional crew. Would not recommend PODS.

PODS is deceptive. We were told our containers would be in climate controlled storage locations, but our Apple AirTags told us they were in a parking lot in a different city until we called an complained.

Jon (I think this was the name of the PODS driver) was really awesome ?? and receptive ?? and placed the PODS container exactly where I wanted it, based on the photos (that I took before I had to go to work, since I couldn't be at the apartment complex during the window of time he would be arriving) and that I texted to him when he called me to notify me that he was at my apartment complex ??!

Cory, the PODS driver, for this particular move, was really fantastic about communicating, and reached out to me to make sure he knew exactly where I wanted my POD container to be dropped off and parked. I had taken photos of the building and area that my leasing manager had pointed out specifically for the POD container to be dropped off so that it would not obstruct any of the residents from driving in and out of the complex. So I texted these photos to Cory when he called me, and he parked and secured the POD container in the designated area that my manager had specified :) !

Poor comunication about when POD was to be delivered and picked up. Scheduled for July 1st between 7:57 and 10:57. Who delivers PODs that late at night? I called to complain. They never show. I recieved the To Be Delivered email that didn't have a time for delivery. I called and got another the time. Anyway, you get the idea. Very poor communication. Made us crazy because we couldn't depend on the time schedules. Same thing with pick up time.

The Pods system is an excellent way to move if you have time flexibility. I found the combination of using the pods and hiring a team of local movers to be pure magic. Booking the movers was simple and easy through the Marketplace! Our support representative at Pods.com recommended everything we needed. There were checklists and instruction videos that made preparation a breeze. This was a great way to securely get our goods across the country at an affordable rate so I could enjoy a 3-hour flight with my husband, two boys, and cat. It's hands down better than driving the 27 hours.

PODS is great if you have a driveway, and less good when you don't. The local people usually know what to do, but they're hard to get in touch with.

This was my second time using PODS container, and I was equally as happy as the first time. Everything went smoothly, from the initial estimate, to scheduling, and final pick up. I received periodic emails reminding me of things coming up. The customer service representatives were helpful and knowledgeable.

I used PODS at the recommendation of some of my friends. Caveat to this review at this particular time: I have only had my POD delivered and picked up from my initial location, I cannot comment (yet) on the service of my POD to my final destination. Distance 2,100 miles. INITIAL LOCATION (delivery 6/26/24, pickup 6/27/24): I was mostly moving my goods and valuables (for which I have a lot of), but less so big furniture - hence, I had a small pod. Pod delivery and pickup did require a decent amount of coordination on my part and was not nearly as streamlined or easy as I would have liked (ie would cost money to confirm a specific time or morning/afternoon, and was somewhat "luck of the draw") though within what is expected with moving (unfortunately) - so not entirely a POD specific problem. I will say the email time of delivery differed from the website time of delivery, so I did have to call with questions/concerns about the discrepancies. That all being said, Maria (x2) and Nicole were very helpful in providing me with updated information and assistance to best coordinate my move, so that I was able to coordinate getting my POD delivered, movers moving my stuff into the POD, and then my POD picked up all fairly streamlined. The delivery and pickup service was also quite easy, the drivers were good with communication, easy to work with, my POD deliverer was flexible with slight location change of my POD delivery. FINAL DESTINATION: to be determined, however my website says that the delivery will be set for 7/13/24, whereas my email and texts keep saying "not set up yet" - not sure if this means the specific time, but the date is set (since it is set on the website), but this has been an ongoing confusion/worry for me. Of note, my friends have had delay(s) in their pod delivery at final destination(s), which has posed some inconveniences. Certainly possible just a manifestation of moving, though this is possibly a bigger downside compared to movers who are driving directly and can better communicate delays. RECOMMENDATIONS: I would overall recommend PODS at this current time. I did not look much into others (limited time) or movers, so I went based purely on my friends' experiences. I would suggest that, if using PODS, when you know some details about your move, try to let PODS know asap (ie, if you want to put in a "preference" for the morning or afternoon drop off or pickup, etc) because the teams can put in notes in your file and they may be able to accommodate without further charges - do not do this the day before because once the information gets submitted to the drivers, it is more likely set. I would also recommend PODS consider having both the website and email with better updates on information, because mine were different with the PODS delivery, though it all worked out in the end. Finally, would recommend PODS to consider if there is an earlier way to provide information on delivery/drop off to the customers - of course, the downside is that if the customer needs some modification then they may have to know earlier, so this perhaps is just an inherent challenge with moving.

I would definitely use PODs again. Such an easy move and nothing was damaged because the moving company put tie downs in many sections of the pod. I pushed the tie downs from Harbor Freight.

Pods did not put our unit number in our address, so the driver left our pod in the wrong driveway. However, the driver did not call us beforehand to let us know he was on his way. And then when he returned, he gave me a hard time about “me” not giving the correct address, and how/where to position the pod. But the driver who picked up our pod did call us, to ask if our community was gated, and other information about location. We chose pods because we used them before, specifically because of the convenience and storage capability. We’re hoping for a smoother experience on the next pod.

His manager made is out like it was my fault because the grass was a little wet. called customer service and they are worthless ( they are in a foreign country and can barely speak english). Was told I would have to fix it myself and then file a claim and MAYBE it would be paid later. When I asked for a manager I recieved noithing but attitude... Took at least 20 requests for a manager. After being on hold for about 20 minutes another foreign lady with bad english got on the line and gave more attitude. Asked for her manager and was basically told to F___ off as this is their process. She refused to give me her manager. Said you get nothing but her... Asked for Corporate phone number and was told they wont talk to you and that they wont give out their number. look on line, and the only number available is back to the same customer service. After all that, finally got a call from the Manager at the local distributor of the POD. After a bit of discussion he told me he'd work on getting my SOD repaired. that was almost 4 days ago... haven't heard much since.

The entire process with PODS was "spot on" and not a single mishap has taken place. They are hospitable and understanding of how stressful a move can be. They were helpful in arranging a timeframe for pickup since I have to have another moving company come and complete the job. The only downside of this whole experience with PODS is they have a recommendation on their website for Hire A Helper.
