Excellent Quality Service. It was recommended that I use 2 pods. It was accurate. The pods were very clean and appeared to be brand new. I was offered to purchase locks, which worked out very well. Customer service was superb. All details were discussed up front, and the crew made sure everything was perfect. I found this company through an advertisement sent via mail.

The container is constructed well so I don't have to worry about weather or vermin getting into it and damaging my items. It was easy to order and everyone from the folks on the phone to the guy delivering the container were very helpful and friendly. They also recommend movers to pack the container and the ones I chose were very familiar with the containers and how to best load them. It was all very easy.

When my pod left Chicago all was good --- when the pod was deposited at my new house it looked like someone tried to break into the pod. About 6 to 8 inches from ground level it looked like someone tried to take a crowbar and pop it open. Luckily for me the locks they give to secure the pod REALLY WORKS --- Other than that problem 1800packrat is at the top of the list of referrals from me --- THANKS FOR TAKING SUCH GREAT CARE OF WHAT FEW PRECIOUS ITEM THAT I CALL MINE!!!

1-800-Pack-Rat has a great customer services. The only draw back was waiting on delivery of the POD(which is the case for all PODS) but their delivery estimate was pretty accurate from the beginning.

Pack Rat was everything they claimed it would be and better. Container was clean inside. I chose them as their price was better than another similar one i checked out. Showed up on time, always called ahead of showing up, business-like attitude, friendly and cooperative, good communication, helped connect me with other vendors, would recommend.

1800 Pack Rat came right on time (even though they were ready to deliver 3 hours earlier, they waited and arrive right on time for me! I have HOA restrictions regarding move-in/out times), the employee was very professional and informative regarding the minor questions I had. My container was filled within 15 minutes so he just waited and then promptly left, made everything seem so easy. There was no need to schedule them to come back to pick up the container. I appreciate that kind of flexibility especially during a frustrating and stressful time such as moving. To be honest though, I'm only half way through my experience with them, so we'll see how the other half of the process goes.

Overall good. I liked the flexibility that they offered, which made loading the containers on our schedule and at our convenience the ideal choice. I just wish they would give a better time estimate, rather than simply calling an hour before they are going to arrive.

This company was fabulous and it is the only way to move for sure. I chose Pack-Rate as I received a recommendation from a friend who used them. Everything was as planned out. I would use them again if I move and I have already recommended them to another friend who may use them in July.

Great customer service and very responsive. Took us three containers at various different times to pack our house and each delivery and pick up was convenient to accomidate our schedule. We only had one hiccup and customer service was quick to correct the issue. Cheaper than their competition making them the best option for our situation. Will definitely use them again.

The drivers delivered my containers promptly and made sure I was okay with the place they were going to unload them. One of the initial containers delivered was too small. I call them about an exchange and they came out the same day to swap them. I would recommend them for anyone looking to move or store their items.

The delivery and pick-up guys were great. The were efficient and paid attention to where they placed the containers. They checked with their supervisors for clarification as to whether or not to place the containers on new concrete or not. Great job! However, their scheduling needs work. I mentioned in several conversations with their operator over the phone three weeks prior to my move that I would need the containers picked up on Monday after our weekend move. I emailed him to that effect also. I also spoke at length to him about when I needed to move the containers from my rental home to our new house. When I verified the moves with their operator the day the first container was being moved, the schedule was not what I had been told they would be. When I told the operator that the schedule was incorrect, she became snippy and basically told me that I was wrong. Being that I was wrong, I told her that I shouldn't be, since I spoke at length with one of her colleagues about the schedule and was told that what I needed would happen. Since their computer system is apparently still a green screen and incapable of having two windows open at one time, I stopped the operator from changing the schedule because she couldn't look at both container's schedules at once. I mean, the other container may have been scheduled for what I wanted (and possibly moved the day before by order number and not by size?) but she couldn't tell, and she was about to change it while guessing that it needed to be changed. She again became snippy and told me to wait while she closed out one screen and looked at the other order. She came back and told me that things had been corrected to the way I wanted them to be. Funny how she suddenly became polite. I found out why later. Fast forward to the move of the second container, which came not when Madame Snippy told me it would, but when I had asked for it NOT to be delivered. The new operator was very pleasant and explained to me that nothing had been changed as I was told by the snippy one. I was also told that the final pick up had never been scheduled after all of the conversations and email that I sent three weeks ago. So now the containers will be sitting in the street in front of the house (in a construction zone) until Thursday and eight days later on Friday, respectively. I guess you can't really rely on Pack Rat to get things scheduled right, even with the information hand fed to them. And even when you do, you'll be told that your wrong in no uncertain terms when they don't get it right, and then you'll be told that they fixed it. But not really. I guess the joke is on me...? I may have to amend this somehow when they screw up the removal this week and next week, which will probably be my own fault....because I relied on them to get it right.
