PODS® Reviews
Who ever thought up the idea of the POD was brilliant. We had to transport my belongings to Overland Park, but once there we filled our POD and it was taken away for storage for several weeks, then delivered to my new home when requested. It was picked up yesterday and there was no hassle. They really helped make this move quite seamless.
PODS arrived and delivered punctually, as scheduled. I did wind up needing two PODS (one only had a few "eye bolts" for tie downs,, but all furniture, etc arrived safely. It all went off without a hitch. Really appreciated delivery drivers Steve and John who made it all work so smoothly -especially dealing with snow/ice, gravel driveway and space limitations due to landscaping and hardscape. Heaven forbid I ever have to move again, but if I did, I'd call PODS.
We are still in the middle of our move so I can't give a complete review of PODS but so far, so great. Their prediction that I would need two 16' units was spot on. Everything they have promised (delivery times, pickup times) has been exact! Units were in good condition and both delivery drivers were polite and professional. One note: make sure you have your own tie downs as this was not included in the pod.
Although the POD held much of our furniture, it did not suffice for everything. We had to arrange for a UBox as well, which was not ideal. The placing of the container and removal of it worked very well. We appreciated the cleaning of the container, too. I liked the different means of communication - text, phone and online.
Had to access one of my PODs twice, company very accommodating and helpful. Booking delivery to my new home was simple, and on time as was the pick up of the empty containers. I chose PODs as they were the least expensive and I could control the packing of my goods. I would definitely use them again, but would spend the extra money on protective blankets to prevent scratches and dents. Basically, it was an easy move, very smooth all around.
Company did a terrible job of quoting the job. They initially said 1 POD then i questioned and they Sent 2. Still was not enough space to put everything. Then the labor they supplied they called 2 days before move and said they could not do it. I had to find my own and supply all materials. No would not use
