PODS® Reviews
PODS held up their end of the deal. Unfortunately, some of my stuff was damaged due to poor packing and I can only blame that on the team that packed me, but I was too exhausted to check how they had padded and secured the load at the other end. One problem with the PODS solution is that packing and unpacking not integrated with the overall moving contract and therefore it is very difficult to hold any party liable for damages.
The containers arrived very clean and ready to load. The strong points are conveniently located and easy to use. The roller door seems quite waterproof. Bob, the delivery driver for the second container, was very helpful, positioning the filled container conveniently while making the empty one easy to load. We chose PODS because our daughter had used them twice before and experienced no breakage, which was a big problem with a full service mover she had used. I hope never to move again, but if I did, I feel that I would use them again.
I was to,d a 16' container was appropriate for a three bedroom house. I have very little furniture. It did not hold all of my belongings and I will need to leave many things behind in storage. Container is in excellent condition. Costumer service has been excellent. I like the idea of the drop off and pick up storage container but it does not meet my expectations as to what it can hold.
Called before arrival. Respectful of our property and Pod placement. On time. Very polite and accommodating. However, calculating how many containers we needed was incorrect. The questions asked to begin the process was not complete enough to calculate how many PODS would be needed. The day of moving I had to quickly get a UNITS to complete our move and then pay more to have a POD come and transfer items from the UNITS to another POD. Your questions to determine how many PODS I would need should be reviewed and more detailed. It caused stress for sure the day of our move.
