Very professional company. May be a bit higher on cost than renting a truck to drive yourself, but well worth it if moving far.

I only gave them a good because there was some kind of white flaky substance that was carried in from the PODS that was all over the house. Other than that a great experience. Their.communication is excellent. I knew what and when through the entire experience.

Overall operator service and condition of the Pod itself was great. Scheduling drop off and pick up was a nightmare. They don't call you until after 6:00pm the night prior to your pod drop off to tell you the 3-hour window during which they might come. It makes it impossible to hire movers for the same day on either end of the move, so you often end up spending extra money for permit costs, mover cancellation fees, parking, etc. Your drop off window could be anywhere from 7:00am-5:00pm. It also means that in most cases your stuff sits in your pod on the street overnight available to anyone with bolt cutters. If you are like me, that freaks you out and leads to an uneasy night of sleep. If they could better organize their scheduling system I would recommend, but without this being fixed, it's not worth the high cost. Not a premium product. I would not use them again.

A very good choice. Reasonable price and I appreciated the PODS customer service communication with me before arrival and after retrieval of the container. I wanted a 12' container instead of a 16' container, but PODS wouldn't rent one to me for a long-distance move. The container appeared to be clean and in excellent shape.

PODS is very non specific in their pricing and arranging pick up and delivery dates to suit your needs is dicey unless scheduled way ahead of time. Last minute hiccups requiring adjustments are unforgiving and add lengthy delay in your plans.

The actual process of receiving & picking up the PODS was great, but I reserved a 7' container based on their recommendation of how much stuff I had. I wanted the 12' which would've been a perfect size, but was informed it was only for local moves. I should've gotten the 16' so that I could fit all of my belongings, but had to throw/give a lot of things away.

This was our first experience and there have been some challenges with scheduling deliveries and pick-ups. Not the smoothest experience and certainly, not what PODS advertises their service to be. We aren't the happiest PODs customers, to say the least. We are still waiting on them to deliver to our final destination, but we already know we won't use them again.

Customer service on the initial call was great, but the local PODS did not deliver what was promised. I received one delivery window online, a second delivery window by email. Then the day of delivery the local PODS called and completely changed the delivery time and was unable to pick up the POD same day as promised.

I would have given them 5 stars, but I kept getting emails saying "as I requested" my schedule was changed-but I did not request the changes they were making. They messed up my delivery schedule and offered no option or compensation for the inconvenience. We were not on a tight timeline so we were able to wait 4 days for our container, but it was annoying they did not provide clearer communication or concern for the inconvenience caused.

PODS was very helpful in identifying our needs and walking us through how to accomplish what we needed to be done. The automatic reminders and status updates were helpful. The customer service reps were patient and understanding with all the changes that we had to keep making for our two PODS arrangements. The only glitch was that a second lock wasn't delivered with the second POD but we weren't charged for it either.

Our driver Ian was great! He called ahead to let us know he was close and was able to get a perfect parking spot on a busy Brooklyn thoroughfare. Right in front of our service entrance. He sat by the lift gate the whole time guarding the truck while our movers loaded the truck for three hours. He gave us the keys to the lock at the end. Great service from the PODS team from the reservation agent as well. I highly recommend PODS.
