PODS® Reviews
PODS is such a cost-effective and practical way for major moves :) ! It's also really nice that the POD container is parked at one of the PODS warehouses until you get to your destination. Then it gets released to your destination once you are there, which really helps for peace of mind that it doesn't arrive at your new location before you do :) !
I really like the POD company. They stored my pod for several months at a reasonable cost, and they delivered right on time. Twice. The driver, Ed, who was unbelievably good and helpful, could not deliver the pod as scheduled because the location was blocked. But he made an extra effort to redeliver my things the next day despite a snowstorm that left the area blanketed and difficult to drive in
I relocated myself (not work); what a logistical nightmare - not! PODS was the answer to untangle my web. My job was a little more complicated because I ordered a second unit after booking the first, so I had 2 different job numbers. That got a little complicated with scheduling; especially using the online feature. I had to call to get things right and feel confident. Once I had someone on the phone, problem solved. They listened to me and I felt truly heard. The reason for the 4 vs. 5 star is due to multiple PODS coordination; if it were only 1 POD, I am confident it would've been a 5 (and I would not have had to pick up the phone). Great overall job with the drop off and pick up on both ends of my move (4 experiences in 1 move)!
This system of moving household goods is the best chance at not having damage when you need to utilize storage as part of your move. I was happy with the results. However, on the receiving end, I was not prepared for the mobility restrictions of the Podzilla. On this end, I had all the clearances required by company policy but the container still was not able to be placed in the reserved spot. That was disappointing.
