PODS® Reviews
It was fine. Our pod was clean and dry. All of our delivery and pickup times were accurate and our stuff arrived mostly intact (our fault for not packing better). We managed to fit almost all of our stuff (minus our couch which we sold because it was too big for our new apartment and our dining room table which we donated) in a 7' container. They recommended the 16' container but that was definitely too big. I'm not sure I got a better value over a budget mover, but our stuff got here largely undamaged and that was good enough for me. Protip: as you're packing, gather all of your packed boxes into one place and measure the square footage - it helped us estimate how big of a container we needed.
Pods, I will certainly refer them to anyone moving and needing to store their belongings. I will admit I was a nervous nelly. I am an older person 75+ and was not sure. I needed to have my furniture and personal belongings stored while waiting for new property to be available. Cost effective was much cheaper to go with pods so I just plunged forward and am so happy I did. NOTHING HAS BEEN BROKEN. I have a 42 inch wall clock with glass front, upright piano, multiple heavy solid wood furniture, boxes of crystal and china. Everything arrived safe, nothing broken. Thank you PODS including the driver of the truck, storage units, the loaders, unloaders, the telephone representatives always made me feel at ease when I would ask so many questions. Again thank you. If you ever decide to make a commercial and I would be glad to do it. Sally
So far phase 1 has gone well. Their dates and times were kept as requested. We have yet to get to the other end of the journey but so far so good. The only problem we had is that the 2nd pod (total of 3 pods) delivered had a bow in one rib of the container. We noticed it once the container had been put on the ground and the door had been opened. The driver immediately picked it back up and headed out for a replacement. We were not packing that day so there was no delay.
