PODS® Reviews
Overall, I had a good experience with the PODS storage container. There were a couple of small issues. The container was delivered incorrectly the first time, but they fixed it for free. Then on the 2nd drop off, the dates got mixed up and they almost delivered the POD too early (before I actually owned the new home I was moving into). Even though the professional movers did their best to tie everything down, the contents still shifted a three or four small items broke. The customer service was excellent and they took care of every problem that they could. I would still highly recommend the PODS service, it was very good.
This is the second time I've used PODS. The first was to move from Boston to Portland, OR, in the middle of winter, and they did a great job, despite the fact my delivery was delayed because the truck carrying my POD had a gasline freeze somewhere in Idaho. Not their fault. This most recent move from Portland to San Diego was not quite as smooth. PODS lost my gypsy moth form while I was en route, and it wasn't easy to straighten out. Then I stored the containers for 2 months while looking for a place to live in San Diego, and that worked out well. Basically, I'm pleased with their service, their drivers are incredibly pleasant and competent, and I would use them again for any long-distance move.
I love the POD service I received. I am putting my items in storage indefinitely, as I am going to be traveling for several years. The POD is a great system and the driver was very helpful and efficient. I love that I did not have to be home to have the POD picked up. I can't say enough about the great service. I would recommend the POD for anyone who needs safe, reliable storage of their items.
We used PODS to pack and move us from Washington State to California. Then we used them again to move us from one apartment to another and to keep some items in storage for a number of months. This storage POD was just emptied. They are the best movers/storage company we have used and we highly recommend them.
When I got an email telling me my order was cancelled, and I know I didn't cancel, I called and spoke to a very helpful young lady, after first talking to a man who was not willing to help me, I was on the phone with this young lady for almost two hours. There was a mix up in my order, no one bothered to call me and tell me my card was rejected they just cancelled the order" ; she stayed on the phone with me until she had resolved the problem. My only question is why am I paying $395 each for one 16ft and one 12 ft container. I was told the 12ft would be $177
On time. Sent lots of emails with updates. Need to include more info in the emails sent ie delivery info. Doesnt include where the POD is being delivered. Would be good to know that it is being delivered to their storage facility or a specific address. You call and get placed on hold for 15 plus minutes ...... Also my entry door two sliders were bent. I had to use skinny luggage locks as that is all that the damaged door sliders would allow. They should check that the door locks havent been stressed before delivery to new job site or offer free insurance if not able to be secured as usual. The guys packing my POD were surprised that it was like that on delivery and wasnt fixed before it was sent to me.
I would give this company negative stars if I could. They pushed my delivery date back twice leaving me with no furniture for weeks. Then they triple charged me for all service totally over $7000 and took three weeks to reimburse me-and only did so after I contacted them. They are impossible to contact; I easily spent over 2hrs on hold, twice having to hang up because the wait was so long. I will NEVER use this company again.
Once they have your order they are impossible to contact via telephone, email, or chat!! I was put on Hold three times and the call was picked up and hung up....this after waiting 10-minutes each time. I even called as a govt customer twice and those transferred calls were dropped after waiting 10-minutes each time. The pod is OK and that is the ONLY reason for giving them an "average".
