1-800-PACK-RAT® Reviews
They are good in delivering the container and placing it on my driveway as I expected. However it was very hard to get connected to their customer service agent. I had to leave my number a few times and it took them forever to call me back. Also they charge extra ($50) if you want the container delivered at a specific time frame. The container pickup was a breeze, no problems at all.
I will never use them again. They delivered our containers on time to be packed but when they had to deliver them for our move, I paid extra to have them delivered in the morning so I had my movers scheduled for 12pm. I first container didn’t arrive til 3pm. We had to pay our movers for showing up. B
If you are moving in the Philadelphia metro area, stay away from these guys. Our containers were stored in Cherry Hill, NJ. We had one container delivered immediately when we moved - and it was delivered a day late. Then months later when we bought a house, we had two more containers delivered - one of which was late. And not only were the containers not delivered on the requested day, even when booked over a month in advance, they completely failed to communicate that this would be happening, and didn't seem in any bit of a rush to redeliver the following day. Due to the late containers, each time I had to rebook movers at an additional cost. STAY AWAY, they don't give a **** about their customers!!!
From the beginning of the moving process from NJ and storage of 2 pods for 5 months to the very end of the move to New Mexico everything went so smoothly. They delivered the containers when they said they would , picked them up when they said they would and delivered them when they said they would. All of the drivers were great across the board. I would highly recommend 1-88-PACK-RAT and would use them again without question.......just hopefully not to soon !
I had to change my dates due to the efficient help I got from moving helpers and Jesse and his crew were flexible in their scheduling. I had 2. 16 ft containers and 1 12 ft and they managed the coming and goings without a snag over a one week period. I would recommend that they add more hooks on some of their containers to give you easy places to tie off boxes and furnishings. Some had hooks on the Metal supports and some did not. it is easier to use the hooks than to tie off on the bracing supports. the containers were clean and swept and had doors that closed tight,y to protect my belongings. they also supplied locks when I requested since my plan was to store my things for a couple of months
Pack Rats helped to make our long distance move less stressful. The only glitch was the HOA does not allow deliveries after 6pm, I stressed this to Pack Rats yet a driver tried unsuccessfully to deliver a pod after 6pm. I had movers hired to unload the pod and had to reschedule, cost me $85. Other than that I would highly recommend Pack Rats.
Very pleased with this company. They were always patient and helpful during my moving plans. I called several with questions and just uncertainty about my move. They were understanding and lessened my nervousness. The pod came and went as scheduled and both placement and removal of it was flawed. Thanks!
The gentleman who delivered the containers could not have been any kinder or more professional. He took my concerns into consideration and placed the containers in the most reasonable and convenient locations possible. He went above and beyond to try and avoid damage to the trees while trying to make them as easy for us to load as possible. I wasn't there for the pick up but I have to imagine it was just as great as the dropoff since it was the same individual.
There was a large mistake made by the company. I purchased on Nov 2020 and was informed by phone and by email that my property would be shipped to Phoenix storage warehouse, but when I called last week after house closing to set up delivery dates for 4/19 thru 4/23 or so, I was told my property was still in California and it would be 3 weeks before delivery. Management fixed this but it was a big hassel.
I would have rated 1-800-PACK-RAT as 5 stars except that their website is absolutely lame. Every transaction required a call to their call center because the website simply wouldn't work correctly. A couple of times I had to call more than once because the call center folks couldn't seem to get it right either. But in the end, they showed up on time at both locations. They dropped off when they said they would, and picked up when they said too. Absolutely nothing was broken in the container. Other than the absolutely lame website and the call center folks who could use a little more training, it was a perfect experience. The bottom line? Use this service for your move, but pay very close attention to details. Once you get them right, it goes off without a hitch.
