1-800-PACK-RAT® Reviews
Everything went smoothly with using 1-800-Pack-rat. Container was delivered and picked up on time from all locations and the customer service line was easy to use to make changes and updates. The large container fit most of our items from our 2bed house and everything came out of the container intact.
They recommended the wrong size container and because of that if I have to get another container it’s gonna cost me more and I’ll have to hire someone again to load it when everything could’ve been done the first time and they’re making me wait 24 hours while they review the tape I know what was said to me I have no reason to lie I just want to get my stuff moved
My POD was in storage for 19mths while waiting for home to be built. I was concerned about the contents being in storage so long and what type of condition the contents would be in. Impressed and happy to say all was good. - transport from MD to Calabash, NC. 1each, 16 ft container and a 8 ft container was transferred into trailer. Transport both to NC would have cost over $5K.
The pod itself has seen better days, but didn't leak which was most important. The person that delivered the pod didn't contact us to say he was delivering it. He delivered it and then called me after he left the premises. I would have directed him to move pod a little to the left so that we could use one bay of the garage. The pickup person did call in advance to say what time he would be arriving. The company did deliver and pickup on day reserved. This pod was in the driveway & not transported anywhere.
Customer service is good, the people working there picking up and dropping off the containers are very nice and careful. The containers are well built and weatherproof. The contents arrived in good shape. But they do not notify the customer when there are delays. I had to keep calling them to find out the new delivery schedule. This is why i rate them as average. The causes of their delivery problems is that their their equipment keeps breaking down. A forklift in NY was out of commission for 3 weeks. Both NY and Nashville have issues with at least one truck. They had issues getting my containers shipped out and could not guarantee when I would get them. I was stressed because I had a tight timeline. An email, text or phone call informing me of the issues is expected business practice.
this was a first time move for us and we were unsure of what to expect. I'm glad that we chose Pack Rat for storing our belongings because our new house was not move-in ready. We relocated to another state and everything had to be stored for 8 weeks before we could move in. Pack Rat staff were very helpful every time I had questions or needed assistance. I highly recommend them.
