I had to unpack 1/3 of pack rat upon pick-up because it was too heavy over 6000 pounds. As a customer you have no idea how much things weigh. I filled the container and then unloaded so they would pick it up. Not a good system at all. I had t use a moving company too.

The Pack-Rat pod service was just what I needed. All of my furniture had to be removed in preparation for selling my condo. They delivered the pod the next day. I would use them again.

customer service during booking was very good, and they kept us informed via email (rates, appointments etc.)The container showed up at the specified time. The driver was excellent, very helpful and accommodating. The only problem is that the container is delivered on a lift/bed truck, and needs a lot more space than using a forklift for unloading the container off the truck. I would use them again if space for delivery was no problem.

One issue, there is lack of communication when delivery or pickup of the container. One person gives you one time and another gives you something entirely different.

Timing of the delivery and drop off of your container is everything with this company. Drop off of the empty cobtainer was a day late since one of their trucks broke down. But, they made up for it by getting it to me 1st thing the next day which still allowed my loading crew to be on time. My container was in very good shape except two areas around the door that had a missing or warped door gasket. I fashioned a homemade gasket at the bottom of the door which kept the water out. Word is that some containers aren’t in as good a condition. Regardless, drop at my new home of the loaded container was on time and everything inside was in good shape.

They delivered the pod on time, called ahead to confirm. They explained everything upon arrival and showed me how to lock it up. Very easy, but might not be your cheapest option. Also, they don't do any moving...so that's all on you to organize.

Have to keep items in storage for three months, so really can't give a final review. Seems a little pricey, but so far everything is going well. They were very accommodating when we had to change our pick-up day to another time. Very friendly customer service.

This is the 2nd time that I used Pack Rat for a move, and I will continue to use them. They are there when they promise to be, pick up on time and are a great value. The container was clean and neat, the blankets were there and I couldn't have been more pleased.

I reviewed them as average as I have never needed these services before. They had to deliver the pod 2 times as the first one was damaged and door didn’t work properly. It took quite a bit of time to get that second pod. The availability for pick up after you have loaded your things is also a problem. Nearly a week is too long. Also the delivery time to my destination in Florida is an extraordinarily long time, causing much stress and difficulties in planning. I think this service can be improved by a long way. Also I thought the container was unusually small for what I told them I needed. I was unable to get everything into the container. Seems like they stretch the service time out in order to charge you additional monthly rental fees

Pack-rat was always on-time. They sent reminder emails and phoned to confirm pick-up schedules. They were always courteous and helpful on the phone, taking the time to explain. We were able to "visit" our container to retrieve some boxes while they were in storage without a hitch. The workers dropping off and picking up the containers knew what they were doing and navigated driveways easily. All our belongings arrived without damage! The whole process was very suitable for our type of move from California to Oregon. I heartily recommend them. We used two containers and had them delivered a month apart so we could fill them on our schedule.

Pack Rat provided two pods initially for the move. They were professional and on time. When I needed a 3rd container for the very next they, they promptly delivered and picked up all 3 pods in a timely fashion. Very satisfied with the initial delivery and pick up of the pods. They are storing my furniture until I find my new home so I'll have to review the remaining portion of the project for after delivery. So far, very satisfied.

Kevin George was the driver for 1800PACKRAT who brought the empty 16' unit to us and picked it back up when it was loaded. He arrived and picked the unit back up as I had scheduled it. He was really professional but yet personable. He reminded me of a young Darryl from The Walking Dead :) It was interesting to see him hook the unit up and move it up on his truck. We he drove off, he was slow going out of the driveway and up the street. They will be storing it for a month until our house is ready. This process also went smoothly which made the hectic job of moving, not as hectic.
