PODS® Reviews
First time customer, and it was a very good experience. Totally fit the bill for our needs. I've moved a ton of times over the years (military) and know how to pack...didn't need the imposition and cost of someone else doing it for us. They delivered the POD right on time for packing, delivered it to the destination address as scheduled, and are on target to pick it up on the scheduled date. Telephonic updates as to the delivery and pick-up windows have been accurate. Very pleased.
The POD arrived and departed on schedule. The driver was very efficient and polite. The truck and container were in good shape and she knew what she was doing in dropping and picking up the POD. She also called in advance to notify me of her ETA. I called PODS because I was watching TV and their commercial appeared. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THEIR SERVICE AND WILL USE THEM AGAIN!
From start to finish PODS was professional and delivered a wonderful experience. Our items were stored for several weeks and arrived to us dry and in perfect condition. The other items we stored in a storage unit had evidence of water/humidity as our boxes were "soft". I will only use PODS in the future.
PODS came on time to deliver both PODS and picked up the packed POD when they said they would. It's still en route so I don't have a final review. However, they were very difficult to communicate with when I asked for the second POD to be picked up empty, and did not take it on the arranged day (which was the same day as the full POD). It's still in my landlord's driveway, 4 days later. They explained that this is the beginning of a busy season and they've just hired new staff who are not yet completely trained. But still. I'm hoping they will not bill me for rental and that I won't have to be on the phone again with them to get it sorted out.
I was so happy that I got the 16Ft containor. I think most folkes do not know just how much "Stuff" they actually have to ship. Container was in expected condition...used. Drop off was provided by an excellent person as was the pick-up person. Both were all about business! I hope I will never have to use them again...but, if so...I would consider using a POD. I actually needed at least two more feet of space. In my opinion the packers did not make good use of space.
they do what they feel like doing, when they feel like doing it. they were physically abusive to me because they would not take an old container and put the new one in its place. therefore i had to handle the stuff in the container from the street ( so did your people on 5/2. the supervisor refused to talk to me. i have begun a filing with TX elder abuse dept.
Was misquoted on the size a 7x7x8 PODS BOX WOULD HOLD. We were told we could put enough for a one bedroom Apartment in to it and we had to keep items out and prioritize. Luckily the second half of the move will not go like this one. Be sure to get the bigger size. It is not any more expensive that’s the smaller. I feel like PODS got more money for my lack of knowledge in moving. And moving is already difficult. Why make it harder on people by underestimating and getting them worried. ALWAYS GO BIGGER AKSLD STRAP IT DOWN!
Had professonal movers pack the PODs in New York and then they were shipped to Ft. Myers. They were stored in a secure fashion both in New York, in route, and in Ft. Myers.......Excellent company, but you need professional movers to pack each POD correctly. As we slowly unpack, they has not been any damage what so ever - unlike the horror stories I have heard about long distance movers
PODS offered the ultimate in moving flexibility and storage. We had to use 4 PODS (3-16' & 1-7') to move our household, but the ability to stagger the pickups and deliveries really helped the sale of our first home and the move into the new home. We did run into a scheduling issue with delivery that changed the date we received certain PODS, but overall it worked out.
Driver delivering and picking POD were courteous, efficient, on-time. There was a problem with the lock (I could not close the POD door properly to allow security) and the driver had to leave. But, he made a point of getting back the same day to help me with the locking of the container and get it on its way. I very much appreciated the help.
