1-800-PACK-RAT® Reviews
I will not use 800 pack rat again. We were told a 16 ft. container would hold our 2 bedroom, LR, DR and kitchen as well as our garage items. Even though I told the lady we hade oversized furniture she assured me it would fit. Well when all was said and done we had to rent a storage unit to hold what did not fit onto the pod. You can call U Haul and they rent containers too.....I will use U Haul next time.
It was a hassle getting a good date for them to deliver. There was absolutely no flexibility on their part. Be sure to get everything that has to be negotiated up front before signing up. The company is not customer friendly. Not made clear, for example, was that the 10 days advance notice for delivery doesn't include Saturdays even though they will deliver on that day. I'm not sure that I would use this company again.
We moved over 2,200 miles using Pack-Rat. Their containers were clean, they were delivered and picked up as promised and the booking process was very easy. They were less expensive than other transportation companies and I would highly recommend them. Everyone we dealt with at Pack-Rat was friendly and accommodating.
Always available by phone, very accommodating and helpful. The drivers who delivered the pod were friendly and courteous. The pod was clean. I needed to order 1 smaller 8' pod because I ran out of room in the 16'. They had another pod there the next morning. Also they removed the pod before 6 pm per HOA rules.
We had some initial back and forth because we were unsure if we had sufficient room for placement of the container. However an agent was sent to check our area and the container was delivered and picked up again on both ends in a timely fashion. The driver for our delivery at the destination end of our move communicated with us when he was stuck behind an accident on the road on his way to deliver our container. We would use this service again.
The men who delivered our containers were professional and helpful. We ran out of room, and needed another container, and were able to get it delivered the following workd day. We did have a hard time working out the details of exchanging the containers, and I was told that we got bumped from our scheduled pick-up because I asked them if they would like to pick one container up when they dropped off the extra container. I thought it would save them a trip, and it ended up costing my my reservation. It ook and hour on the phone work this out. They finally came back on the line and said that somone else had cancelled their reservation for that day so that I could get back my reservation --yeah right. I just complained enough that it was rediculous that I lost my reservation for trying to be helpful.
We used Pack Rat to move us across the country because this type of transportation seemed to be be the best option for us and it was! The condition of the containers were great! Our experience was excellent when booking pick up & drop off dates- they were right on the time schedule! We picked Pack Rat because they offered us just what we needed for a reasonable price! The customer service from the start to the end has been so good-We are glad we chose Pack Rat! Thank You, Pete & Yvette B. Loudon, TN.
So far things have gone great with PackRat. Good people to work with. Good equipment. Good prices. Good service. No unpleasant surprises. Can't say enough good things about PackRat other than I had to click off their "Preferred" button of mover to find Cali Movers. Cali did a great job for a very fair price.
