1-800-PACK-RAT® Reviews
The company provided good information, was honest and delivered what they promised they'd do. Good customer service. They're very available by phone and they even called me to ask whether I needed more time to pack as they saw I didn't have the container scheduled at my house for very long. Nice to see they help you anticipate potential problems.
They are not on time. They seem to have excuses why that is. They have a warehouse in pompano FL. but its going to take them 3 days to pick up a empty container in Boynton Beach, FL. this container is parked on a street in a gated community where you are not allowed to park your car on the street. They were also very late in picking up my full container MA
The move out end of Packrat was awful. Didn't show up when promised, misinformation given at time of order, on the whole a moving night mare. All worked out in the end, but we will see how the delivery end goes. Lots more to the story, but to long to tell. However, one of my drivers was great. Dan, he kept me informed and was very nice. FYI if you need Tucson delivery. They only deliver on M, W and F. Then only one unit at a time. That means they force you to pay for a months storage. Best of luck on your move!
Unfortunately, the trucks showed up very late in the day and in the evening (11PM) and we had less than 24 hours to pack them before being picked the following morning and afternoon. The drivers were friendly and careful. It was our understanding that they had 2 trucks out of service and that is why the delay. Aside from this, I'd still recommend them.
Horrible customer service! Made a mistake on my order, were rude when it needed to be corrected. Overcharged me, did not come at the scheduled times. Rat Pack refused to commit to specific times even when it was critical because of THEIR original mistake and the closing on my house. long wait time on the phone, no supervisor called me back. Extremely poor tracking of what was going on, every call was a completely different answer. Overall just a horrible, stressful, expensive experience. I would NOT recommend them at all.
I selected 1800PackRat for a few main reasons: cost (very competitive), able to book an immediate move, and it was a metal container that laid flat on the ground. The drivers that drop and pick-up your container for this company are excellent individuals and seem to be very happy to be working for this company. My contents arrived safely and on-time. My only suggestion to anyone that considers using 1800PackRat, would be to tell Central Dispatch to note on your file that is given to the Driver to give you a courtesy call to receive your contents. At one location I was not given the courtesy call, however the driver was professional and waited the 15 minutes for me to arrive.
Overall a good experience, but some of the details were not explained well such as there are no set times for delivery of the container which means if you have movers you have to schedule them for the following day. We also had an issue with our container delivery on a Sunday, but they fixed the situation which was very much appreciated.
