1-800-PACK-RAT® Reviews
Great customer service from the sales rep. Driver was on time and very professional. Container was clean, and clean (new) blankets were inside as ordered. I was also provided with a new padlock. Household goods will be stored for a few months but I expect the same excellent service when he container is delivered.
It was a good option for my situation but I did require additional storage for a 2bd/2bath apt.Excellent customer service... container was in good condition - worked well for the first leg of the trip (orlando to winter haven) but not for the second leg of the trip (winter haven to tampa)... for some reason that move quote was nearly quadruple the price of the first leg even though they were similar distances traveled. Perhaps there was not a drop off point near my final destination
They did a great job EXCEPT they sent me a container that they explained was for a 3 bedroom house and in reality I would have needed at least 1 more large and probably 1 additional small. So needless to say it cost me a lot to order a moving truck, more movers for the next day and I had to drive a big moving truck anyway so I should have just handled it myself. The pods DO NOT hold much and they under estimate how much pod space you will need, so I recommend doubling the number of pods they recommend. I would say that 1 large pod is enough for a 1 bedroom condo - NOT a 2000 sq ft house.
Horrible!!! Poor customer service. Horrible follow up. Horrible delivery. This has been one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with all the way from the delivery- which was a few DAYS late to the customer service- which told me they can't so anything about it... To the items promised.... Finding out time of delivery- which was 2 days late mind you, that they weren't providing ANY blankets- which we were promised 60. So movers were there- pods weren't and we had NO blankets. Running to the store to buy blankets with a newborn was horrible! The pods were missing a few bolts- well they popped out during packing... Manager didn't want to discount for our horrible experience- finally got a measly 10%. This has been a horrible experience. Move coordinator has e mailed me only once throughout entirerocess and have yet to be able to get ahold of him! Would NRVER recommend thus company- in fact we have 3 different sets of friends getting ready to move and they cancelled their move with pack rat.
I originally was going to go with Pods, and was all signed up when my brother was reading terrible reviews about them. We looked into the Pack Rat and were impressed with what we read, so we called, and had a great conversation with the Representative. We hung up, thought about it a few minutes, called back and reserved! I wasn't sure if 1 16ft container was enough, so they recommended I order an additional 8 ft to be staggered a few days later, that way I could cancel if I needed it. Well thank goodness I did because I needed it. Everything happened the way they said it would, I even had to change a few of the delivery and pick up days, and they made it happen for me. The nicest people ever to do business with! Thanks to all of you.... I would definitely use them again
We were able to fit our two bedroom townhouse with a finished basement into two containers. Nathan, who delivered and picked up our containers was very friendly and woked with us to find the best placement of the containers. He also went out of his way to make sure he could pick up both containers as soon as possible! We were very happy with our experiance.
Using the PackRat containers (needed 16 ft plus an 8 ft) was the best choice for making my move. The containers were clean, delivered and picked up as scheduled. Customer service was great, no matter how many times I called or asked questions, they were polite, respectful and reassuring. I chose PackRat because I wanted the security of knowing I packed my own items, I had the key to the container and no one else had access to my property. I would highly recommended PackRat to anyone moving or needing storage. If I ever need to move again I will most definitely use PackRat services again.
We are very displeased with the Pack Rat process. Consistently, we were not able to obtain the status of our unit. Also, after the unit was deposited at our new home address, and it was unloaded, it had to remain in our driveway for six days, until Pack Rat could send a resource to pick it up. Their scheduling is horrible. We would never use them again, nor recommend them to anyone.
We used an old dominos truck that pack rat sent out because the containers we not offered in my area. I would try contacting old dominion directly if I were going to move again. I have a feeling it would be cheaper to cut pack rat out as the middle man. No issues and using pack rat trailor service was cheaper than a traditional moving company.
Did not deliver containers on the day we scheduled weeks in advance. Then se were told that they would deliver us first the next day at 8 am but that didn't happen finally delivered after 7 pm more than 24 hours late. Had to reschedule labor to move us in on a Sunday. Less than satisfied even after a refund of 610 dollars. I spent more than 6000 dollars with 1800 pack rat. Service should have been better.
Storage was the best solution I could have chosen; everything went smoothly. My furniture remained in good condition during the four months of storage. I would recommend anyone traveling/moving long distance to use this service. It takes out most of the hassle of having to transport your belongings long distance and can potentially save time and money.
