No problems in my experience moving cross country to California. Drivers in both cities were great and very accommodating. I was referred to PACK RAT over Pods by a friend due to their prior experiences with both, I'm glad I went with PACK RAT. I heard Pods containers are not made of metal and smell!

They were great! Were able to drop off and pick up in the given times I had, and were willing to work with me to have a drop-off and a pick-up in the same day. They also lowered their price when I told them that I could find a lower price with another competitor.

1-800PackRat gave me the most flexibility to load, transport and unload my belongings. A 30-day window for me to arrange for my schedule. They had excellent communication and performed as agreed. I have not unloaded my containers so I cannot give a full review at this time. At this time I would recommend this company.

We loved how Josh of A.B. Industries LLC moved our stuff into the packrat. I hired three people for 4 hours and Josh was so good they were done in one hour. Hire a helper did refund one hour. Hire A.B. Industries LLC and you will be very happy with the results and hope you have Josh ans his crew as your movers..

U-Haul came through for me from the disastrous Pack-Rat container not holding any of my furniture. I was able to find a 26' U-Haul truck at the last minute, store my things in a U-Haul storage for 2 weeks in Texas and was able to rent another U-Haul truck to have the movers move me into my new place in TX. Thank goodness for U-Haul. All in all Pack-Rat was useless, was told the wrong info for holding a 4 bedroom home. I would never use 1-800-PACK-RAT or any type of container again.

Containers in good condition. Able to correct mistake of missing lock within the hour. Very timely in all communication. We ended up needing an extra container and during very busy time for them, they were able to arrange the delivery and pick up in time we needed. Have already recommended to a friend.

PackRat was cheaper than other competitors, but there were just a bunch of careless mistakes all along the way. The driver who delivered the container did not write the serial number of the container down correctly. The driver who picked up the full container thought he was picking up an empty container because the wrong color of hi-lighter was used on the form. I was billed twice for the initial deposit. The "move coordinator" didn't communicate very well, and failed to tell me anything about when my container actually left the initial warehouse and arrived at the other, or anything about final delivery or retrieval of the empty container. Granted, none of the above are very much of a big deal on their own, but when applied in combination their power to erode the confidence, reputation & professionalism of the company should not be overlooked. Sure, you get some cool stuff like a bunch of packing blankets & a lock. But I'm of the opinion that those are no substitute for a firm that has their act together.

Pack rat had the most affordable portable storage unit out there for our local move. We underestimated how much stuff we had and had to rent another - the 16' pod was way too small for the things we were putting in storage! Took several days to schedule another. The driver had trouble unloading the pod on the city street in front of our house - he needed more than the 3 car lengths we had reserved.

Pack- Rats was an excellent company to work with up until the payment side. On the day I set my appointment the woman on the phone was extremely customer service savoy. She worked hard to earn my business. She was so good that I canceled my move with "PODS" because of their lack of customer service and her willingness to make me happy. I had unusual requests and Pack- Rats accommodated me with everything. The drivers were courteous, thorough and made you feel good about using the company. The only thing that was frustrating was the end when we tried to do a third party payment and was told that we could take a picture and send the info via e-mail by a gentleman which seemed easy enough but Deborah B who was the payment advisor said she couldn't except this because it wasn't in a PDF format. This is were things got extremely frustrating because everything was packed so we had only our phones and being it was in the middle of moving going to a computer or fax place was difficult. I felt that Deborah was at a computer and as the gentleman had said earlier he could change the file to PDF on his end if needed. I am not sure if Deborah just didn't know how to do this or she didn't understand how stressful it is to move across state. We just wanted to pay them so our items could be on the way. In the end we paid to download an app on our phone to send Deborah B a PDF of signatures and ID pics so that we could get the move going. It was too bad that this happened at the end as everything before this experience with Deborah was very easy, friendly and topnotch for "Customer Service". I can tell you Deborah didn't care about retaining my business like the first Gal I spoke on the phone with and scheduled my service with, moving is stressful enough and we just didn't need the "attitude" on top of everything else that was going on.
