PODS® Reviews
This is my second time using PODS. The first time I used them they stored my belongings for nearly 2 years. When I was ready to settle into a home they delivered the POD and everything inside was just as it was when it was placed in the POD 2 years prior. I am looking for a new place to call home and they will be storing my belongings again until I find my new place. I trust them to take care of my stuff.
Nice new pod, which was great. However, after a detailed walk through with the phone rep of our space, furniture, storage, etc. we ended up having far too little space in the pod even though I was assured we'd have much more space than we'd need. We ended up sacrificing furniture to a junk hauling company because we left town the night of our move. Incredibly frustrating, but more stressful than anything else. After paying for their costly services I'm very disappointed.
PODS showed up on time - container was smaller than expected though and couldn't fit everything from a 2 bed/ 2 bath condo. Additionally, the PODS city services driver was threatening to leave when we had to go over 4 hours for loading even though the website said you could easily add additional time if needed.
In fairness, I had previously had a good experience with PODS, but this time was an absolute nightmare. On moving day, without prior notice, 1 of the 2 PODS was not delivered. Customer service offered no solution other than a 5 day delay which was beyond the time I had to be out of my house. I ended up renting a UBOX which was fine except it was much smaller and a UHaul trailer which at age 80 I was very nervous about pulling 1500 miles. Thanks to great movers I was able to salvage most but did end up leaving some things that just wouldn't fit. PODS tells me they are looking into the situation but I am beginning to doubt I will ever hear from them again. Just can't believe a company can ignore a customer. They had already charged me the delivery so I had every reason to believe they were coming. Not a good review here, would never depend on them again.
I didn't have an address yet in the town we were moving to so getting a PODS Container this option worked well for us. Customer service was awesome, they walked me through every step and answered all my questions. When I called to give my new address for drop off, we started from the top and went through the entire order to make sure everything was correct. When the rep got to my redelivery date, the date she gave me was 2 days after the months rental. I mentioned this and my concern of being charged for another month. Since PODS could not deliver before the month rental, they did take out for a second month but refunded it the same day. The container was clean & in excellet shape. Due to the delay in transporting and redelivery, I give them 4 stars but would definitely use them again.
