PODS® Reviews
The POD made things very easy as we had almost a month between selling our old house and moving into our new one. The POD was in great shape, was easy to pack and store, and the driver who dropped off and picked up was quick and efficient. My only complaint was how far in advance we had to book pickup and drop off of our POD, but that is just a sign they are doing lots of business. I would go with PODS again if we need to store while moving.
PODS is an affordable and desirable alternative to traditional moving and storage. Most moving and storage companies are brokers not actual employers. After having three refuse to send someone to do an onsite survey, two of the majors did. Their estimates were so wild an expensive, I expected dancing girls. PODS was straight up and open about timings, pickups, deliveries, costs. I did employ a 3rd party for much less than others quoted to pack and load.
So thankful for the PODS service. Everyone was friendly and helpful from the many people we spoke to over the phone as we updated details about our move to the drivers picking up/dropping off the containers. Everything showed up in one piece (we moved across country) and the rate ended up being comparable to the other container options out there and much less than the full service mover options.
I requested a small POD to be delivered into a difficult driveway space. The driver - Craig - was incredible in getting his truck through very tight space and delivering the POD perfectly. He was also the driver who picked up the packed POD the next day. I really admired his skillful driving and POD-maneuvering skills! He was very courteous and careful during both our meetings. The POD was clean and in good condition. I worked with an online customer service person who was definitely knowledgeable about the services offered. I would use POD services again.
This was the first time using pods and was recommended by our friends , who used them in the past. this is the first of two moves to n.c. This was a 16 footer,next stage will probably be a 16 footer again. Could use a 12 footer ,but they don't ship them out of state. the 7 footer will not be big enough . The pod is very nicely made, it's clean looks good and holds alot of stuff with build in tie downs to rope down your items.much cheaper than a moving company. you suppy a lock. It took 7 days to get from moriches,n.y to n.c. .every thing was secure at final destination.yes i will recommend and use them again.
They were on time and did everything they said they would. We had two PODS and both needed to be cleaned out before putting our things in them so be prepared to vacuum and wipe down the inside. We put our things in storage so I cannot tell yet if they will be returned intact but I was glad they were being stored in an indoor location.
I'm a return customer for PODS and was equally pleased with their service as I was before. The driver kept me updated on their arrival time and was very patient and friendly (I loaded my POD in Manhattan so the driver had to wait with the container). The entrance in front of my building is a no-standing zone but the driver parked there anyways so I didn't have to load my container from a block away. PODS will always be my go-to choice for cross-country moving!
