1-800-PACK-RAT® Reviews
I'll never use this company again. At first they price matched the competition, but that only worked because they didn't give me enough containers. I ended up having to order extra containers on moving day and even then it wasn't enough to fit all of our stuff, we ended up having to leave a bunch of stuff behind. We paid extra for a certain delivery day, but they kept moving the date out and it was a logistic nightmare having to coordinate with the unloaders.
Initially 1800PackRat was very easy to get set up and deliver the empty container to my house. Once I loaded my container and it was picked up was when the problems arose. I paid $700 extra for expedited shipping for my container to arrive Dec. 8th. I received an email stating that the container would not be arriving on Dec. 8th but that it would arrive on Dec. 13th. I called the only number listed and waited forever to speak to an agent. The agent only said that they emailed dispatch and hadn't heard back from them about my container arriving. He did not know where it was or when it would arrive. He then said it would most likely be delivered tomorrow. Tomorrow came but the container did NOT. Once again, nobody emailed or called me to give me any information. I called everyday around noon and was given the same information, "it will arrive tomorrow." I finally spoke with a customer service rep that promised she would email and call me that evening after she figured out what was going on. She did call me back and was extremely helpful. She assured me it would be delivered that Thursday. It was delivered on Thursday and everything was in good shape. The delivery driver was very polite and helpful. I understand that a long distance drive can have unforeseen issues pop up but most of my angst could have been relieved if 1800PackRat would have provided more information and had better customer service from the beginning of the issues. They did refund my $700 and I am happy about that. Overall, I DO NOT recommend 1-800-Pack-Rat to anyone. Use another company.
