Customer service department is awesome, every time I called to get assistance with adding or changing a POD order, they were pleasant. Driver dropping off and picking up POD was super nice.

The redelivery driver did not redeliver my container on the day that we had agreed on months ahead of time, and had a nasty attitude towards me and my apartment's management team when we tried to find a solution. He ignored all of my calls and when I called his supervisor, he ignored my calls as well. I had all of my essentials inside the container, so I had to stay in a hotel with my two cats and buy new food/kitchen utensils/litterboxes until the box was delivered. I was not reimbursed for the expenses I had because of this screwup, and when contacting a supervisor, the delivery manager, and even corporate... NONE of them responded back to me even though I called multiple times and left messages. PODS did not care at all that they left a young college student stranded hundreds of miles away from home with nothing but carry-on luggage and some food that was bought from the airport. When the container finally did come, the same driver gave us attitude again and placed the box over a parking space that we told him not to place it on. The emotional and financial stress that this caused me was not worth it. Completely unsatisfied with this company, I will never use them again and will encourage all of my friends and family to avoid them at all costs.

Meh. They delivered on time, but the driver did not place the opening of the pod toward the door so we had to walk around it to load. My daughter was the only one there when he left it and he told her it couldn’t be turned, but there was plenty of room and my loading company assured me they could have turned it the correct way.

First time I've used PODs for a move and I would definitely use them again. Easy to schedule pick ups and delivery. The cost was much less than a traditional moving truck. Nothing damaged or missing. Great experience!

I used PODs because I needed to move stuff out of my house over a 1 month window. At both ends of their service - container drop-off and container delivery to my new location - PODS was great. From scheduling, to communication with the truck driver, to pricing - everything was easy and straightforward. And on either end I hired great movers (like Bell Movers in Maine) to do the heavy lifting and it worked out really well. We used a "moving company" several years ago to make the same move from PA to ME and it was a disaster and the complete opposite of my experience this time.

The pods arrived on time, if not early, for both pickup and dropoff, and it was convenient that I didn't have to be there when the pods were picked up. Some of my stuff got a little dusty and beaten up, but the things I took the time to carefully pack with bubble tape/ cling wrap etc were in perfect condition so I wouldn't hold that against the company but rather my care in packing up the pod.

One of my PODS arrived on time. The other never showed, with no call or text or anything. After contacting customer service multiple times, I was told they can't deliver it for 2 more weeks at the earliest. They've already had it 3 weeks, now adding 2 more weeks. It'll cost me hundreds out of pocket to hire movers a second time, pay for replacement items I need now, an extra month of PODS storage cost, and so on. Stay away from PODS.

great drop off at first location/and pickup. But, I ran into a problem with the pod not latching at the first location. Needed to find a very strong guy to muscle it into place, as the customer service couldn't send anyone and I couldn't leave the container unlocked. Great delivery to my new location, and the delivery guys hung until I was able to open the pod all the way.

Service was great. POD was delivered on time. Pick up had to be moved a day early due to city street issues. While POD was already fully booked that day, they sent a truck out ASAP to pick up the POD to avoid having the city Police tow it.

pods were roomy and clean; crew arrived on time. For those considering pods, the only negative is that you need to plan on your pods taking 8-10 days to arrive at the new destination.

No complaints on the pod, drop off and pick up. All that went fine and was as expected and advertised. Extremely convenient and easy, but it seems way more expensive than it should be. I would most likely not do it again do to that cost. If it was only 15-25% more than doing the rental truck/storage, it would be reasonable and I would do it ever time.

They delivered the PODS container 3 days later than agreed upon date, ordered well in advance. We had to miss scheduled get togethers with friends and neighbors to say good bye in order to pack up the container and get out of the house on time. Also had to pay for extra movers on a different day.

From its customer service, to its drivers, to even the website itself constantly crashing, this company just wants to tell you "no." After agreeing on a tight schedule for a cross-country move (roughly two weeks), I was met with roadblocks at every stage: Initial drop-off (driver tardiness, container placement); Initial pickup (claimed to need extra days for lack of available drivers); Destination drop-off (claimed to need an extra week, unskilled driver parked in a possibly illegal spot across a busy thoroughfare from the apartment); Destination pickup (leaving container in said spot for three days). It almost seems as if PODS wants customers to keep the container for more than their month-long lease... And, get ready to hate yourself as you realize the only way this is getting done is by browbeating customer service reps across continents into doing what was agreed upon in the first place. I suppose if you have a couple of months and are moving between suburban locations with nice big driveways, PODS could be a decent solution. But for a quick city apartment to city apartment move? Thoughts and prayers... Additional star ONLY because all our s*** got here in one piece.

Pods were delivered and picked up on time. Problem was I had to order a second pod because one pod was not enough. I was told one pod for a 3 bedroom was perfect.. WRONG! The moment the pack and load people saw only one pod, they told me it wasn’t going to work. Pod must be use to the under sale because I had no problem adding a second pod. It would be nice if the customer service people were trained better. One pod for a 3 bedroom house is not enough. Don’t be fooled.
