1-800-PACK-RAT® Reviews
The driver was excellent—communicative and skilled. The container itself was a little battered on the outside, but the inside was clean. I chose this company because it was cheaper than the other storage container companies. Customer service was pretty good, once you got them on the phone (which can take a very long time). The reason I gave 4 vs 5 stars is due to the size of the container. The largest option is only 16’, so I had to get two.
This is a 2 phase move with my containers first going to the local storage and then eventually to my residence once that has been secured. The initial ordering process was okay, there were just a few mistakes in when and how each phase was to be executed. The prices is the best for this type of service.
Absolutely awesome experience to complete a move/packing job out of state. Cannot say enough about their customer relations (Dawn) and coordination. The driver (Nayeve) was fantastic and went well-above to help my family. PackRat is a great solution for managing the difficulties of a major long distance move.
I experienced a minor hiccup with the transportation company PackRat—the container delivered was in rough shape and didn’t have a functioning locking mechanism, so I couldn’t secure it properly with my own lock. I contacted a supervisor who was very responsive and assured me that the issue would be resolved quickly, with the necessary part replaced. Aside from that, the overall customer service was friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the process. I appreciate their prompt attention to the matter.
They arrived on time, for drop off and pick up and gave us an hours notice prior to arrival. The process was very fast and efficient. The container was as described and most importantly very clean on the inside. Their customer service was very helpful and knowledgeable. We would use them again happily!
First time using a pod - it was a little tricky making sure they had plenty of space to pickup/dropoff the pod, but worked out. Pod was dirty upon arrival so I had to sweep it out before loading anything. The driver was very nice on dropoff and pickup but was supposed to give hour notice before arrival on both occasions and didn't on pickup - thank goodness I was ready. I had a lot of moving pieces with my cross-country move and just needed something affordable and quick. Not thrilled I will be taking 2 days to drive to new place but the pod won't deliver for 10 days doing the same drive. Nervous my stuff is going to get moved around/damaged a bit so hopefully the movers packed everything extra secure!
Everyone I had contact with at Pack Rat was professional and the whole process ran smoothly on this long distance move. The lady that help me decide the size of containers and schedule Hire a Helper was really helpful. My 1 recommendation would be to get a slightly bigger container than you might think you need - it isn't that much more expensive and its better to be able to take all your stuff rather than have to leave some of the stuff that doesn't fit.
