First time using a POD. My decision was based on a 750 mile move. I don't know if this is common but my belongings (boxes, furniture) were very dusty.

A few things got a little dinged up but that's more because I didn't wrap them tightly enough in blankets.

Horrible from beginning to end. Delivered a POD with a hole in it, filled with water. Was supposed to have a lock, they forgot it and told me to go buy my own. Damaged lawn/sidewalk when placing it and tried to use the clause in contract “they are allowed to go off the driveway if not enough room”. 40’ wide driveway not enough room??! and then fought my damage claim! Failed to pickup on delivery date due to a ‘system issue’ and said they had to push it out another week and delay delivery a week - as they “had no drivers available”. That was another battle to resolve. Delivered POD to final destination with a tear in the side and door that was bent and wouldn’t roll up. Clearly, mishandled in transit. Never offer any compensation for the hassles but charge hefty a la carte fees - fee same whether storing off site at your own property or their facility (how is it not less if you’re using your own property and not their facilty), charge fees for pick up, charge a drop off fee, and of course the travel fees. As if you can pick it up and drop it off yourself! Would never recommend or use again!

We had a great start, though a rough transition. I called to change the pick up date, but the units were still picked up on the original date. I had to call to have them brought back out. It set me back one week.

For a company whose main business is logistics, they aren't very good at it. I had to go to them, repeatedly, to get information about timing of deliveries and pickup. They never called when they promised - I had to call them.

The POD company made the delivery of our storage container easy. The person who delivered the POD was prompt, efficient, explained how to best load and secure the pod items, and how to work the lock. He was also very friendly and funny! He made us laugh, which we really appreciated, because we were stressed with moving.

Vyking loaded the POD. Excellent job! The fellow who dropped off the POD did not do as good a job and should have checked with me when he dropped it off. I had the area all cleared out and he made an assumption that ended up doing some damage to the lawn of the HOA.

My stuff arrived- just not all in one piece. This is partly to blame on the movers I used to load the pod. The pod’s door also came dented which made rolling it up and down difficult at times especially in the humidity. The pods are also bug and spider friendly so be aware when packing and sealing your items!

Disastrously bad. Do not use PODS. Late to pick up loaded POD, forcing us to go around it to load the Uhaul carrying the things we couldn’t do without. We ended up getting to our new place after midnight, instead of early afternoon. At the new house, they claimed the POD wouldn't fit in the driveway & they couldn't put it on the street without a permit. The Permit Office said PODS should be handling the permit issues, but never do and constantly give their own customers & the Permit Office a terrible time about it. Permit went through & was sent to PODS, but they ignored it & never told us. We learned of this from the Permit Office a day before it would have expired. We had to apply for an extension. It was granted & sent to PODS. We rescheduled delivery. Day of, the driver said we'd need a permit. We told him PODS had been sent one. He didn't have it. His boss insisted he'd never been sent one, said he'd refuse to place our POD without US giving him the permit, even though he’d been sent it twice, then yelled at me until I hung up. I called customer service, & they said they could do absolutely nothing at all. I asked to speak to anyone in charge multiple times. They refused. When I asked one more time, they just said "Okay, have a nice day" and hung up on me while I was still asking for any kind of help whatsoever. We applied for another extension, rescheduled with our movers a SECOND time, & arranged for a third copy of the permit to be sent to PODS. Permit Office also explained to PODS that they needed to print the permit and take care of posting it. The POD arrived and was placed, and the driver did not have a copy of the permit—didn't even ask for one. I asked him about it, & he said "Oh, that's for you to take care of." Fortunately, we had obtained our own physical copy, anticipating something exactly like this, & posted it ourselves. No accountability, no understanding of what their responsibilities are, no customer service skills, no corporate authority or responsibility, no consistency, lying, shouting, general hostility and shocking levels of ignorant incompetence. Avoid PODS at all costs. They are an absolute quagmire of failure and will drag your entire move down into it with them.

POD carrier appeared in good/fair condition. Did not appear to show any water marks/stains, and no leakage. Undercarriage had a few rotted beams but appeared to be durable to handle the load. Drop-off coordinator was very helpful and made sure the POD was moved off the lawn. POD was fully loaded. Would use again for long distance move.

I had problems with them from day one. There is no communication between the people that work in the company. Information doesn't get passed on. Someone dropped the ball on the container for when it was to be dropped off at the place of residence. 4 days later after another conversation with a customer service representative the container finally shows up. Would not recommend this company to anyone if you are looking for a stress free move.

They're a pioneer and are big, but they haven't become lazy and complacent. I'd rate them highly. Very friendly, competent, flexible, communicative. The dropoff and pickup outbound and inbound were done by skilled workers. Happy with every aspect of the move and would recommend them and use them again.
