PODS® Reviews
I'm moving 2 states away, from a condo to a detached home. I donated some major furniture, but had a lot of boxes. The POD moving & storage container concept was the best for my situation, with shifting dates & moving contents. We had a few miscommunication issues that impacted original scheduling, but overall I'd still recommend them. The POD calculator was very useful to help me choose the best size container & prioritize my items to keep or leave, based on space to pack in. Since I'm moving from a condo with open lot parking, it was a tricky keeping extra spaces open so the PODzilla could maneuver on drop off & pick up days. But ultimately the 16' POD fit nicely into one space.
After the sales person recommended a 16’ and an 8’ POD, we had to revise the order to two 16’ PODS. THE FIRST PERSON I spoke with said she’d taken care of it, and even provided an accurately recalculated amount. What she did not do was put the change order through. Just a couple of days before the PODS were to be delivered I logged in to my account and realized the second 16’ POD was never ordered. Near disaster! The second person I spoke with was fantastic; responsive, caring and darned good at her job. She fixed everything, and forwarded the change order.
The Driver cancelled our order on their own - the central office had no idea that happened until hours later after I was told the order was still good and my pods would be delivered it would just be late. Then I was promised a PODS the next day and it never showed up we ended up having to make alternate arrangements.
I would rate very good ifthat were an option. The only reason it was not an excellent rating is difficulty gaining access to the website to check my orders. Most of the time I got a message that there were too many redirections even though I went directly to the website using my correct login credentials that sometimes worked. Friends had used, and recommended PODS after their long distance move. I used 16’ and 8’ PODS which worked out perfectly for me. The containers were reasonably clean and in good condition. Customer service was excellent. I would recommend them and would use them again.
It was delivered on time, and picked up on time. HOWEVER it was supposed to arrive on the 13th of May ( hired men to unload it) I was told it would Not be delivered until the 19th or maybe the 26th of May. Meanwhile I was put in the position of continually rearranging the people to unload it. That company was very helpful
