1-800-PACK-RAT® Reviews
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.
The set up process was easy and the guy Zach on the phone was very helpful booking the container and even helped me find movers for both locations on the call. Cons: I paid for a lock and they didn't provide one at container drop off, driver said they would bring me one and they never did. I was quoted $3481.32 for the container, paid a $500 deposit, and they charged me $3809.44 on the day of pick up. Still trying to get a refund for the lock and figure out why the charge was more than the quote. I would use them again granted they refund the services (lock) not provided and honor the quote given.
You put's yer money down and you tales you chances with Pack Rat. For some inexplicable reason, they are using a ZIP CODE directory that is horribly out-of-date, less than useless, which leads to numerous problems. I had the same problems when I fled Chicago in 2020, but I figured, "The devil you know...." Big mistake.
This was a great experience. From quote, to booking, to loading, and delivery, this is a op notch company that values and expresses customer service. Shout out to my drivers, John in Oklahoma and the rock star from Charlotee, NC, Tony. All caring people and interested in doing the best job possible. Todd in Greenville was fairly negative, but ended up being an outlier. Everyone else was fantastic. Thanks everyone for making the move bearable.
Booking 1-800-Pack-Rat was clean and easy. The customer service agent took the time to fully understand our needs and customized delivery and pick-up dates to fit into our holiday weekend schedule. Container delivery times were communicated and on time. The delivery men were friendly, clean, personable, and professional.
We had 2 delays of which we were not notified once. I had to call them 4 times with long hold times. Finally received our POD 20 days later instead of 10-14 days. Make sure you put an AirTag in one of your storage bins on the truck. That’s how we knew they were running late. We were told they had no drivers. Anyway, we were compensated for the delays.
Our pod did not arrive when promised and we had to rearrange our entire schedule and coordinated moving help permits, etc - it cost us a lot of extra money not to mention the aggravation and stress. Pack Rat did not communicate well with us and we didn't find out about the delays until the day of the move, and then we got different stories from different people . when it was escalated we finally got the pod delivered.
Everything went to plan. All deliveries happened within the promised windows, and all four drivers we interacted with were professional and helpful. Annoyingly, the "transportation subsidy" did increase the cost by $250 over the quoted price, but it was still a competitive price. We're happy with the experience and would use Pack Rat again.
This company is terrible. They "overlooked" my shipment so my delivery was 22 days late. They also were supposed to pick up the empty container the same day and my update from them indicates it will be at least 5 days later which is a problem for the apartment complex because they are parked in the fire zone. I never got the same story twice from this company on what happened to the container delivery or pickup. You have to run the gauntlet to reach a person and often you will be on hold for 8 - 20 minutes. Stay away.
