Sean and Mark were the finest,polite, punctual, eagerly enthusiastic, beyond awesome young men. They make their parents proud! We need some of their incredible lightning speed and energy!!!! I would request that All -Star Movers give them a very substantial raise because someone will be stealing these fabulous workers very soon. We will be calling to arrange for them to return to us when our move to Brookfield, Massachusetts is finalized. Please extend our appreciation to them again with a copy of this reference. Sincerely, The Monahans

On-time pick-up and deliveries. Excellent communication. Sturdy, clean container. 6000-lb. capacity for the 16-foot rig, weighed at time of pick-up. [Note: Unable to deposit the pod into our driveway, due to very narrow street and the configuration of Pack-Rat rig. Fortunately, the movers (unloading) had no issue hauling items across the street.]

They held our belonging hostage it seemed like. The day they were supposed to deliver our first container at our new home, they just no called, no showed. The second container was scheduled incorrectly. We didn't see out 2nd container for another 2 days.

Love it! This is my first long-distance move and was unsure of how things work. 1-800-PACK-RAT 's thorough and great communication throughout the whole process keeps me in the loop of the entire process. I really appreciate the great customer support I received the entire move.

This container company was far less professional than the movers. Many promises to call or send confirmations were not met. There seemed to be a great deal of confusion. The price quote was not really that competitive.

Delivery of POD(s) were on time - good co-ordination between me and the company. In asking for extra pads they were on the spot, helping to make sure we got the extra pads. POD delivery guys were super - careful of passage way between POD and other cars on the street.

Very convenient service! Very professional representatives and drivers. The unit was clean and held up to all the weight in it easily. Reasonable price and competitive with the major self-move companies. Great for moving into or out of a house, though a bit more challenging with an apartment complex due to parking space needed for the unit. I would highly recommend this company.

If you need your move to work like clock work, do not hire these guys. Pay the extra and go with another company that does the same thing. The customer service is top-notch, but I they wouldn't need to work so hard if the logistical aspect of the operation weren't such a sh*t show.

On the customer service end, these guys are great. Unfortunately, the logistical aspect of the rest of the operation makes their jobs very difficult. PackRat wouldn't be on time if their lives depended on it. I was given a 5 hour morning time window for delivery of the empty container (8-1pm). The container didn't arrive until after 3pm. The pickup of the empty container at the new place was delayed 24 hours later than it was supposed to be. This is because the driver didn't want to wait 15 minutes for my movers to unload the last two items. I was given a 10-12pm pickup the following day. The container sat on the street until ~6PM. My advice: If you're really flexible with your move, these container services can be great. If you need things to go like clockwork, pay the extra and go with the other guys. Things that went well: The container was clean and nothing was broken. But that was likely because the guys that packed it up were freaking awesome. (Patriot Movers out of Southern California)

Everything got to my destination on time, but their communication and timeliness is not the greatest. I paid $50 extra for a guaranteed pick up date and the no showed no called. When I spoke with the pack rat main office many times during the day, they kept saying they could not get in touch with the facility handling the pick up. I'm not sure if I would use them again as communication and timing play a huge role when moving across the country.

1-800 Pack Rat is the greatest. Making a move out of state is not to be taken lightly. The logistics alone are staggering. These people made all the difference. Not only did they transport my belongings, I was able to have my vehicle transported and hire two helpers when I arrived at my new home. The 16' container was spotless, and the drivers throughout were excellent. True professionals! After exhausting research I chose 1-800 Pack Rate based on there overall reputation. We are so very glad we did.

This is my second use of Pack Rat in a year - both long distance moves. The ultimate experience was good, but I did get the sense they were so busy that I sometimes got lost in shuffle as was placed on hold for extended periods of time or phone calls were not returned. However, the containers were dropped off and picked up when they said they would and the items arrived safely. Overall, satisfied and I would use them again, but maybe not during their peak season.

Great service and reasonable prices for a 4 state move involving 3 pods loaded over 2 months. We have a complicated move and Pack Rat worked with us on our dates to ensure we would have enough time to pack them. Service was exceptional. Pricing was slightly better then PODS.

Dan Pierce was the driver who dropped off and retrieved the containers. He called ahead of his arrival, and kept us constantly informed of what to expect. He was extremely hard working, knowledgeable, courteous, and efficient. Dan is one of those rare employees whom everyone wants to hire! We hope to see him again.

So far, based on the delivery of the empty container, I have enjoyed Pack Rat's customer service, pricing such as flex pricing for slower transport, the condition and quality of the container, and the punctuality of the delivery.

Did what it says on the tin. You get a container, you pack it, they move it and store it. They were quick and responsive when it came to moving/storing, and everything was in good shape aside from stuff that we packed wrong. I think I'd prefer using movers next time for my own sanity, but for DIY this is a great option, particularly if you need to store stuff in the meantime.

The container was in need of repair and maintenance. There were holes in the sides covered with tape, several bolts holding the roof on were missing and the retaining rods to hold the doors open while loading were damaged and unusable. The container was stored inside the warehouse so there was no water damage from heavy rains in the area. When the driver picked up the loaded container he damaged the driveway of my home and also the container. The delivery was on time and when I needed to unload the container at the warehouse rather than have it delivered, they were accommodating.

Delivery of the container was on time. The driver asked which direction the door should face and had to reverse the container end for end to suit our needs. There was a severe thunderstorm later that night and not a drop of water got into the container. We are downsizing, and sold or donated much of our furniture. We managed to get all we need into a single 16 foot container.
