    We were moving and we needed a POD to organize our rummage items until we could get to our new address. They arrived quickly with a clean POD and started loading right away. When we did ask for the POD to be moved to the new address, they got it there and picked it up right after we did get it empty and swept out.

    I recently used PODS for my move, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, their service was exceptional and made my relocation a breeze. The hassle-free process was a standout feature. PODS delivered the container on the scheduled date, giving me ample time to load my belongings at my own pace. PODS' professional service was evident throughout the entire moving process. The drivers were courteous and skilled, carefully maneuvering the PODS container into place both at pickup and delivery. Their expertise ensured that my possessions were transported safely and securely.

    What truly set PODS apart was their clear communication. Their website was user-friendly, making it easy to review my order, check delivery times, and stay informed about payment due dates. The customer service representatives were knowledgeable and responsive, promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had along the way. Overall, PODS provided a stress-free moving experience with their convenient service, professional staff, and transparent communication. I would highly recommend PODS to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient moving solution.

This company stole over $300 from me by charging me consistently after I had already paid them. While I am disputing the charges I jus hope that I can help someone else.

    Placed an order for 2 16 ft units to be delivered on 12/27 and picked up on 12/30. Paid up front. Called 12/24 to ask an approximate pick up time on 12/30. Was told they could only pick up one. The other one wouldn’t be picked up until 1/07 because they didn’t have any available storage for both pods. My house closed on 12/30 so the property they would leave my furniture on was no longer my property. So I had to cancel one pod and it’s caused my move to be a nightmare. I found a small pod from U-Haul which wasn’t big enough. Now I’ve had to rent a truck and a storage unit. I just want to sit down and cry but I can’t because I have to figure out how to move my household.

Better than using the moving companies that don't keep their word and damage your stuff. I moved 4 times before, and PODS is the only company I had good experience with. They don't subcontract other companies. They are reliable and responsible. I got discount for my second move. I liked the fact that your first month of keeping the container is free.

    The Pod was perfect for my move. It was dropped off easily and I loaded as I had time. Then they picked it up and it took like only 9 days from my move time to drop off at new moved in location. I had it for two days, which I had scheduled. Then they picked up. It was seamless and they were able to use the podzilla to move the POD into parking spots easily.

    We got two of their largest containers and used them for about two months. Pickup and delivery went fine. Our driveway is small, so they had to take the pod off the truck and roll it in, but it worked out, and the drivers were very nice. Pricing is a bit expensive, but it’s very convenient.

    I was extremely impressed with PODS and the whole service. The people were polite and helpful. It was an excellent service. I’ve told many friends about it.

    I chose PODS to move from California to Florida. It was easy and pretty safe that everything was stored in one container and not moved until it was at the destination, instead of being moved in and out of a truck.

    It was my husband who called to arrange for the big container, the 16-foot, which was the correct size for our needs. It was sturdy and clean.

    The people who delivered and collected the pods were very efficient. The company we used to help unpack the pods was recommended by PODS, and they were excellent.

    My opinion is to not use PODS for a long move. The box does not protect your belongings as a moving truck would. The group that packed my belongings did an excellent job of wrapping and securing everything. Yet there was shifting and I now have several pieces of damaged furniture. So now I have to deal with the insurance claim and find someone to do the repairs. Ordering the POD was easy. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size. The local POD dealer was amazing! She got the wrong size removed and a larger one delivered the following day. Talk about customer service! I found the billing was too cumbersome and confusing. Whenever I called about it I was reminded this information was available online. Thanks for questioning my mental ability. Again if you you’re moving a short distance it will work. My trip was 1700 miles. That’s a lot of jostling of the contents.

I had to adjust the schedule, and it wasn’t a problem ‘cause they had enough maneuver room to adjust and get it picked up sooner than expected. Everything went like clockwork for us. They dropped it off, we loaded it, it was a 48-hour turnaround. We had a snowstorm in Colorado, I-70 and some highways were closed and just for us to get out of state, we had to go down to Pueblo and head to Wichita, Kansas to get out, but he got here on time and I couldn't believe it.

    Updated on 01/05/2025: Nothing has gotten better. We received an e-mail that a customer support specialist will be helping us. It had no return e-mail address and no name of who our customer support specialist would be. My wife called the company and explained everything to them and how we went with their company because they said "We can deliver it anywhere in Wi." We live in Wisconsin. It's not like we are moving out of state. My wife received another e-mail saying that their customer support representative reviewed our case and decided that they can not help us. This e-mail we could not reply to and it did not give us the name of the customer support specialist that reviewed our case.

    So my wife called again. Every time she calls she just gets someone in a call center that can't help. But this time we found out that there is a recording of my wife when she was initially setting up the order and it literally has on it her asking if it can be delivered anywhere in Wisconsin. They told her yes. We then find out from this lady that there are only two POD places in Wisconsin. There is one in Milwaukee and one in Madison, Wi. She told us that we are outside of their delivery area. WHAT!!! No one has EVER told us that they had a delivery area. We were told they can deliver anywhere in Wisconsin. So here we sit with PODS unwilling to do anything to get our belongings to our new home.

    This is absolutely the worst company I have ever delt with as an adult. All of our kitchen stuff is in it. All of our furniture is in it. All of our beds. All of our dressers are in it. New home with nothing in it. This all started I believe the week before December the 18th. When we were closing on the house. I can't believe they have this audio recording of her initial hiring them. They say it was a pricing issue. Heck no!!!! It's a you won't deliver issue. We want our belongings. I will get my attorney and I will subpoena that recording and enter it in as evidence to the court. Also they have done this before.

    Original Review: We called PODS Company because we were selling our home and moving. But we did not have another home yet. My wife asked them "Do you deliver anywhere in Wi?" She was told while I was sitting right next to her so I could hear the conversation as well. The man with the PODS Company said "Yes and to all of the continental U.S." Now we bought a home and are ready for the POD to be delivered to our new home on 20 acres in Wisconsin. My wife was told "That address is outside of our delivery area." Our new home is right off of a Wisconsin state Highway. It's not like we are way back in the woods. From my internet research this is not the first time they have done this. I feel it's time for a class action lawsuit.

    The product was fine and as expected. The service was sketchy at best. For initial delivery, they provided a 3-hour service window & indicated the driver would call when on the way. They met the 3-hour window without ever calling. For pick-up it was unfortunately much worse. First, I called for pick-up on November 19th, hoping to have it removed prior to the end of the month (yes, the Thanksgiving holiday was a potential issue). But on the call they admitted that the local facilities were full & probably couldn't get it until Dec 10th (What if I had sold the house & was closing Nov 30th?) they would try to get it earlier if possible.

    On December 9th, I received an email w/ a 3-hour window for Dec 10th (3p-6p) and the driver will call prior to arrival. I reply according to their process to confirm pickup. On Dec 10th at 3pm I receive another email indicating "as you requested, your order has been updated" - nope, I didn't request. I left home for the evening. Then at 6pm I receive an email indicating that the new pickup window is Dec 11th (3p-6p). At 9pm my wife informs me that the pod is gone (no drive call yet again).

    At 1am (Dec 11) I receive an email indicating that the pod has been picked up, and again at 7am (Dec 11) I receive notice that my pod will be picked up during the 3p-6p window. So their national tracking system has no idea what their locals are doing. And their locals are not following protocol to call the customer before pulling onto their property. Oh, yeah... I was charged for the month of December when I asked for the pod to be removed as early as Nov 19th. The website is not helpful.

    I used PODS for storage so that when we bought another home we could ship it directly to our new house. I called to get it sent from FL to OH. They charged me but didn't send the container. They credited that but then I didn't get my container for another month!! They did credit me a lot of money for the mix up; but it took a lot of time. You always get a new person. Very frustrating. I won't use them again.

    Origin - Pod was brought to us on time. Driver snapped a wire to the house, not relevant to the utilities, but driver seemed unconcerned. Pod door was hard to open due to previous damage or tract not having been lubricated. This made it difficult the entire time. Pick up - Hard to make changes. Driver was here to get the Pod when he realized the day had been changed. Destination - Ordered for 8:30 a.m. On day of, the text said 12:30 p.m. We were at destination spot (not our home) but Sam, in nice Pods shirt, called when he was near, otherwise it would have been a disaster. Sam went above and beyond when I forgot the combination, then we couldn't get the garage-type door open, probably fault of our loading. Sam stayed calm and worked with us. OVERALL IMPRESSION - Expensive for the experience. Use it only if you REALLY need it.

    I moved out and used PODS' storage unit, then I moved back in. My father booked the smaller container for me, and it was seamless. We packed and it was tight, but everything fit. The man who picked up the container was very lovely, and the first guy who dropped it off was professional as well. He didn't have a personality but he wasn't offensive. I had to cut off the lock 'cause I lost the key. That was one thing that I don't know why they told us to do but buy an extra lock. My dad also found PODS to be expensive and wasn't a fan of because he got tired of paying it after a while, granted I had it in storage for a year.

    I went online. I found PODS. I called the number. A girl called me back. She was really good with me, called me back several times, because I wasn't ready to do it yet, but I was trying to get all my ducks in a row, and get all my information that I needed, and she continued to call me. “Are you ready? You just let me know.” I needed to ask her how many days in advance I needed to do this, because I was calling from Illinois and my move was gonna be from Arizona back to Illinois. So, I wasn't in Arizona yet. So, I signed everything in order.

    There are two pods. There's an 8 x 15 and like a 15 x 15 or 16 x 15. So, originally, I was going with the smaller one, the half-pod. And then my wife's aunt and her uncle just kept adding more stuff that they wanted in it. So, I got nervous that I wouldn't fit it all in the half-pod. So, then I reordered and I ordered the bigger pod. I got there on the 15th of October. I have a couple days to pack up all the stuff. So, I had to get the pod delivered on the 23rd of October and then I wanted it picked up on the 30th of October. That was exactly what they did.

    They called me and said, “I'm like 15, 20 minutes away.” They came in. I met them at the place. They dropped the pod. The guy was great. It was a shared driveway. So, the neighbor pulled up and she started giving me a hard time and went to the driver, telling the driver what to do. And the driver says, “Listen, ma'am. All respect. I work for him, so I do what he tells me to do.” The guy was really good. The neighbor was just outrageous. He had enough room to get in and out.

    We went online and looked at all the information and we ended up calling PODS. We talked to one of the representatives and it seemed like it was convenient and fit our schedule. We started the booking process and then, we changed things around. It was a very pleasurable experience. I got four 16-footers and we’ve only had one dropped off. There are still three in the warehouse down in Hialeah. So, that process was very nice.

    The only thing disappointing in the whole experience was that one of the trucks leaked fluid on a new driveway. I tried to clean it myself but it's still there. It will take some time to wear it off because it's hydraulic or oil. We didn't make an issue out of it. It wasn't the driver's fault. It's just some of PODS’ trucks leak. Hopefully, the next truck that comes and delivers won't be leaking. The price was variable. It went up and down so, we got some savings. As it got later in the season, maybe the price dropped a little bit. While you're moving, anything is expensive. But it was worth it and still is at this moment.

    We were decluttering our house. So we got a PODS 16-foot storage trailer mobile because we were selling our home and relocating. I don't do technology real well. So after having done a little bit of plodding around on the internet, I called PODS and the rep was very helpful and got us set up. I called on a Sunday and the pod was delivered the following Monday. The pod was pretty cool. It was great. We were winging it because we've never done it before. But it worked really well. Had I known now what I knew then, I'd have put more on it before I shipped it back. The drivers, Scott and Myron, were absolutely wonderful.

    It's been a really good experience. Probably of the move, the PODS was the easiest. It was probably the best part of what all we've been dealing with.

    I already had someone to help me pack. I didn't wanna rent a U-Haul truck and PODS seemed like a good option. So, I decided to go with that. Plus, the stuff I was moving had to be in storage for a month before it went on to where it was going. It just seemed like PODS had it figured out how to do that easily. Booking the pod was a piece of cake. I got on the phone and said what I needed. The person I dealt with was very easy to understand. They spoke very clearly and they answered every question I had on the spot and they didn't have to say, "Well, let me go check." They knew what they were talking about.

    Delivery was when they said it was gonna be done. I only got one pod. It was 16 feet long. The guy dropped it off and wheeled it right where I wanted it. He was very cordial. The pod was, for all intents and purposes, new. It was spotless. It was clean on the inside and there were no big dings or scratches. Maybe I got one that was only used once or twice. But if they're all that way, then that was good. When the price was quoted, it didn't scare me. I didn't compare it to something else, but I would tell people if they compare prices and this is in the ballpark, I'd recommend PODS. Two different times during the moving process, I had to contact PODS and change a date. It was as smooth as it could be. They have a well-run business going there.

    I loved having PODS. I ended up having them stored for seven years. I just got it two weeks ago. They neither delivered to Alaska nor Montana, which were the two places where I ended up. So, the downside is that they do not cover all 50 states. At the time I booked, I had no idea I would end up in Alaska for five years. When I received my items, it had been kept in a temperature-controlled facility in Texas, which meant a lot because it was 115 degrees for the last several years during the summer time. I didn't have any issues with my belongings. Everything came very clean. I just had it in another moving truck for a week and everything was very dirty. It's good. The temperature control worked beautifully, the way it was supposed to.

    It was very easy for them to both pick up the item online and schedule everything that I had to do. Then the driver even called me when he was half an hour away. The price was fair for not having to drive a U-Haul truck or try to deal with across country movers. If you want it delivered outside of that range, it would be a little less, but I would still recommend PODS.

    I liked the price and I didn't need a full service moving crew. The schedule was important too. I had a very tight timeline to move the things that I had, and PODS had a more rapid response time than others I checked with. I had questions that I couldn't answer by looking online so I ended up calling to talk to somebody and ask those questions.

    The drivers were very flexible and did their best to try to make sure that everything was exactly as I requested it in terms of where the pod would go. They were very responsive and concerned to make sure that I was satisfied. Nice people. I had a specific situation on the pickup as well, which was, which I was notable. I was not supposed to be there when they were coming to do the pickup of the unit. I was taking my mother to a doctor's appointment, and I realized while I was at the doctor's appointment that I left my car parked close to the pod container that it wouldn't have been possible for them to do the pickup.

    I called the guy and said, “I just realized I screwed this up. Is that gonna be a problem?” He said yes, it was. But he immediately said, “Let me see if I can try to fit you in.” We went through the regular process of rescheduling through PODS for the pickup, but he ended up coming two days earlier. He called me and said, “I've got a guy who's available right now at the end of the day. Would you like me to come pick it up?" He came then. He was responsive and even though it would have been easier for him to wait until the time that had been rescheduled. He knew that I was on a tight time frame.

    I went to PODS’ site and looked it up. Then, I decided that I wanted to book it online to understand the process but I needed to speak to somebody specifically and I didn't wanna do all of that simply online. I used PODS for storage for several months while I was redoing stuff within the house. Then I called them back and got the stuff out and sent them home.

    One problem is that I need to know when the driver is going to show up or get a notice because I’m on a farm and you can’t get in unless we know and allow you to. They promised that they would call to do that but those calls never came. What I got was a text from the driver saying he was at the gate. That happened twice. That’s asking me to spend extra hours I don't have. I don't know when they're coming and I'm trying to be courteous enough to say that they’ll sit outside that gate, but they can't get in. I told PODS that they need to figure out what their process is. I've had two different stories as to what it is and they’re the ones who created it. I'm the one who's trying to accommodate it and they didn't call. So that doesn't help me.

    There’s an issue with their marketing communication in making sure that they're consistent and what they say they’d do, they'll do. But the drivers were wonderful and very accommodating. Overall, I would use PODS again and recommend it. They did a great job. The customer service was very pleasant and did their best. But this is an internal operational issue and if they've got a format, then they need to have everybody reading the same format. And they're not. Their customers are limited as to what PODS said they're gonna do.

    PODS’ prices were a little high but I haven't been involved in that kind of feature before. I put things in storage and I’ve done all the rest of it. I have 18 moves behind me and have some idea about the costs of the things that they're shipping, and that's not very expensive. So, my assumption is it has to be both the facility where they're keeping the pods in some kind of weathered, conditioned service or that that's the cost that's going towards the drivers. In which case, I don't have a problem with that. But it would be interesting to see what the margin is for them.

    The first time I got a pod, we were in a storm before our closing date and we were just starting to move stuff out because we had a buyer. We just wanted PODS because I like the convenience of just loading it up and having them take it away. But the buyers had to terminate the contract because of a financial situation on their part. The pod had already left storage and I had another one coming the day after so I told PODS I needed my pod back. I had to unload all that stuff until the house sold again.

    I paid all this money but PODS didn’t charge me for the pod that I didn't need anymore. So, that was a good thing. But a few days later, somebody bought the house and I had to call them again to bring the pod. I like that PODS was flexible with the scheduling and they came by fairly quickly. They came by on the day they were supposed to come by. Everything went smoothly and everybody that I talked to was good. The price was about average if I went for a moving company. So, it wasn't that bad.

    Everything happened as scheduled, for which I was thankful, especially the pod pickup on the day I closed on my house. There are a lot of people out there in the moving business who are only interested in how much they can stick you for. The moving industry in general has changed A LOT for the worse, in the last 20 years. PODS is an up-front and reasonable alternative.

    One POD was filthy inside. I had to clean it out. Another had bolts sticking out of the floor. I had to cover those so that our furniture was not damaged. I thought it was more expensive than a moving company but with Hurricane Milton disrupting everything in SW Florida, being able to store them and choose a time to deliver worked well.

    We've used PODS for the last 10 years and had good experiences with them. We've only used it for bigger moves, and every time we booked, we've used the largest container, which is the 16-footer. Everything is clean and fine and the drivers are excellent. We usually book over the phone and the reps are very good. We've had to reschedule a few things as well and everything was fine. Recently, we used two of the pods to move, and then we stored stuff at the new location for about six months.

    I needed storage for a month while I did some renovating, and the gals I talked to on the phone as well as the drivers were great. They let me know when they were coming and going and it was all a pleasant experience. The cost was a little high though. I was surprised that there was a fee to bring the pod back. I thought the 300 fee in the beginning was the whole thing. They said, "Oh, well, now, it's gonna be another 100 to bring it back." I don't think that was explained.

    The drop off and pick up was really easy. It was nice having an extra storage spot on moving. The drop off scheduling was very quick and easy however, when you needed it picked up if you didn’t book weeks ahead, you get screwed. The Syracuse location didn’t open up spots for the next two weeks so I had nothing to book and as everybody knows, closings get changed every five seconds so this is really inconvenient if you have to close on a house. It’s better to move it to somebody else’s house and then again move it to your house. It makes it not worth it. Luckily the customer service was able to reach out and schedule it for me even though it was a few days early and I had to negotiate with the seller of our new home to take it early. Such a hassle.

    We had a medical emergency and had to move my mom from NY to TX in short notice. We elected to use PODS to pack up her possessions (a lot - smile) that she wanted to take to TX. The PODS solution gave us flexibility to make decisions and pack over a few weeks. The price was reasonable, communications were great, representatives were knowledgeable and professional. The entire process from having the POD dropped off, picked up, shipped, drop-off at a our storage unit - unpacking over a week and then the final empty POD pick up was seamless. I would highly recommend PODS and was completely satisfied. The only piece of advice I would mention is that I did not understand the height and width requirements for the transporter to drop and pick up the POD - I realized now that I skipped over their video - my bad.

The whole entire process went very smoothly. Everyone we spoke to at PODS was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

    Loved that I didn’t have to drive a truck with a trailer, and that I had 30 days at a time of storage built into the pod. I will say that there were numerous things broken in my pod, including an armoire and a TV, so they are a little rough when they travel, so pack tightly and protectively (even though I did this, still ended up with breakage). I do advise you to make sure that you can open your pod door before the delivery driver leaves, sometimes they shift in transit. Overall, I would still recommend PODS, it definitely made my life easier.

    The booking process was pretty easy. I called PODS right around dinnertime to tell them that I needed a pod and they offered me all the services that they have, including moving services and packing. They asked me where I was going, how far, whether it was in state or out of state, the distance, and how big of a house as far as the contents. They went through the different sizes. They told me all about the fees and everything else. It was all pretty transparent and upfront, which was nice. The delivery was great.

    They notify you so many times that you have to be in a coma to not know it's coming. It's like they tell you three days out, and then one day out, then you get an email and a text message. But on the day of the delivery, the driver called, said, "Hey, I'll be there in an hour." And he showed up and he dropped the thing. They have that overhead lift that they use and it's fantastic. The only rub with the delivery was my driveway sloped to one side. So I had to jack the container up because the door wouldn't close. My driveway was pushing the container out of square.

    As I started loading it, the low side, and then I pulled the roller door down and I was like, "That's a gap that a small dog could fit through." But not really. It was about an inch. It was right in the end of summer and the beginning of fall when the nights were starting to get cool. That's when the damn mice start looking for places to go. So I jacked it up and I threw a couple of pieces of wood underneath it to hold it up and to keep the container up, and it was fine.

    I was satisfied with PODS. They were less costly than having a moving company that I previously used. Most of the time, I could handle the website okay. I started online and moved to phone. Also, the container was clean. The pod experience itself is good. However, the people that I used from Lima did not pack well. When they came to the house, they didn't have a dolly or any tools. I had a small plant dolly that they used. And my toolbox was out, so they were able to use that.

    The movers were polite. But I had a box labeled with my lampshades in it, "Fragile." They put it on the bottom of everything and squashed my lampshades. They broke the top glass on my shelf thing. They scratched a table and a dresser. They had me get straps from the hardware and they didn't use them. So when my movers here unloaded, things fell out. I wouldn't recommend the people that I used in Lima, Ohio. But the PODS service itself was always on time. The guys were super polite. They made sure all the cars were moved out of the way so they could unload and load the pods.

    The person I spoke to was nice and patient. She listened carefully to what I was saying and my needs and helped me make a decision. We were looking at other options but we went with PODS. The website and the online tools were good. But when you go online to make a reservation, it doesn't give you a price. You have to either call or ask them to call. You have more interaction with a person but from the convenience side, I wanna know how much it's gonna cost. I don't wanna call every time.

    The person who dropped off the pod at the beginning gave me information and details on it. He was very helpful and knowledgeable, listened carefully to what I was saying and what I was asking, and answered very clearly. Then, the pod was picked up and when it was dropped off here, I spoke briefly to the person and he was nice and polite too. At all times, I received phone calls when they were coming to drop it off and pick it up. But there was also a phone call to let me know they were on the way. And I was able to manage it or make changes online if I needed to. Everything was nice and smooth. If I have to move again, I will do it with PODS.

    I was trying to do a little remodeling and needed PODS to store some furniture and different items. I booked a pod online and the process was simple. I called for clarity on the process of them delivering the pod, and they were nice. I wanted to make sure that it was turned so that the opening was near the garage which they did. I love everything about the pod except for the door lock where you put your lock at. It was hard to lock it. When you close it, in order to slide that lock and engage it, you have to put a lot of pressure and stand on it a certain way. Other than that, I highly recommend PODS because they gave me a good experience.

So as long as you do it far enough in advance, you can get a pretty good deal on it. If you do it right last minute, it usually cost a little more money, especially around the holidays.

    My experience with PODS was excellent. It's a wonderful company. I ordered their PODZILLA, their biggest metal box thing, and then they delivered it to where I was moving. They loaded all the stuff in, and then I have them bring it back to the new place I was staying. I've been with PODS before a couple of times when we first moved. It's a great thing. They bring the container to your house, you load the stuff in, then they bring it to the place you're staying. You have the time to load it at your leisure. Their people were all very nice and the price was fair. I don't have complaints whatsoever about PODS. They did everything they said they were gonna do, and the guys who moved the stuff were really nice and did put it exactly where I wanted it. I would use them again if I ever move.

    PODS brought the pod to Sherman Oaks here where I live. Almost the last day of when I was done with the thing, somebody had broken into it. They smashed the whole lock off it and PODS didn't blame me for any of that. They said that that's not my fault if somebody broke into this thing. It also was not their fault that there are criminals all over the place. The price I paid them was worth it. I like the idea that they put the pod out there and you got a month to move all your crap, and then they bring it to you, and then you got a couple of days to just put it back, put it in your house, and they take it away. I was 100% satisfied. They bring you a nice, clean box.

Arranging for pickup of the empty POD has not been easy. The earliest dates for pick up were almost a month out. This has made arranging closing on our house sale very difficult.

    I was extremely satisfied with Lalani, my online booking agent. She went out of her way to be helpful! I was extremely satisfied with Guy, the driver who delivered my POD and who picked it up after unloading. The fellow who moved it from one place to another was terrible. He obviously wasn't careful with my belongings because he arrived at the destination before I did, although I left while he was still loading the POD and I didn't stop anywhere along the way. Then he wouldn't put it where I needed it put. Was rude about it then wouldn't wait while I called the company to try and reconcile the issue.

    He almost ran me over as he was leaving and to show his dissatisfaction with me he did a very long blast with the truck's air horn. This not being bad enough, I got little to no response from customer service regarding the incident. I had to pursue it through a couple of emails, then was told that it was being sent to a customer service specialist and I have never heard anything from the company since.

    Review of PODS Moving and Storage. I am extremely disappointed with my experience with PODS Moving and Storage. After falling behind on payments, I was informed in August that my pod would be auctioned the following day. While this was disappointing, I understood the situation. However, two weeks later, I started receiving communications from a company called Fun Storage and Moving, which I did not recognize. They claimed they had not auctioned my pod and began charging me the monthly rate again.

    When I finally made contact with PODS, they confirmed they still had my pod and that I was being charged from August until the present. Despite numerous attempts to resolve this issue, they have not worked with me in a meaningful way. Instead, I have been bombarded with constant calls and emails, pressuring me without offering a fair resolution. This experience has been incredibly frustrating and has left me feeling taken advantage of. I would not recommend PODS Moving and Storage to anyone looking for reliable and fair service.

    I had to move for the 1st time alone. No friends helping me for a 6-pack. No one. PODS came to my rescue. They expertly parked the POD in my tight-space apartment parking lot. Gave me plenty of time to fill it, hauled it to their storage facility and held it for me. When my new apartment was ready 3 weeks later, they again perfectly fit it into one parking space. They allowed me time to unpack it (this time my nephews helped me.) And then they quietly whisked it away. All this for half of what any other national moving company would have charged me.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. This past year has been nothing short of a nightmare dealing with this company. What should have been a straightforward process—receiving my pod and belongings—turned into an exhausting, never-ending ordeal. Every interaction with their team has felt like an exercise in futility. Their employees are shockingly undertrained and seem to be in competition for who can offer the least helpful or accurate information.

    It only gets worse when you try to escalate matters. The supervisors—if you can even reach one—are somehow even less knowledgeable and unwilling to resolve issues. My calls have been dropped, requests ignored, and timelines repeatedly pushed back with no valid explanation. I’ve been given the runaround for a full year, with zero accountability on their end and a glaring lack of professionalism at every turn. And just to add insult to injury I get to pay them 381.00 a month and spend a minimum of 2 hours a month having the same conversation.

    I booked over the phone because the web tracking was a little challenging. I work in IT, so I look at things with a more critical eye. Booking ended up being a couple of phone calls and the reps were fine, but the quotes didn't match. I requested the largest pod and then a smaller one to be on the safe side. The rep said he was quoting me at $100 for something, $50 for the lock and 400 or 500 for the pod. I wrote it down and when I called back about the drop-off day, I found out how much that would really be. The total was 1,900 for the two pods, and I said, "Wait, that's vastly different than how you broke it down." He said, "I don't know what to say to you. It's coming out what it's coming out." He had no clue, and it was a weird experience. I had to make changes.

    The pod was clean, and the drivers were awesome. They were both very kind, and the email or text notifications were spot on. However, if PODS wants to get more of a market share, they should hire their own professional moving people since people need it as opposed to recommending people go to an outside vendor. I was recommended to go through U-Haul for laborers and they showed up high. They were smoking pot in front of me and my autistic son. That was horrendous.

    I reached out to PODS for storage rent. The price seemed reasonable. I did the booking online. Their website was not perfect but it was good. I did have to make one call to confirm something. They were helpful. We got the larger container, and it met our needs. It was sturdy, clean, and we didn't have any issues with it. The drivers were amazing. The one who dropped it off was able to maneuver it very well. We were very pleased with it. The driver who picked it up was fast and very nice. Overall, our expectations were met.

    It was very easy to book PODS online. We were very interested in how the whole mechanism worked and the driver explained it. He was very, very nice. He was a very personable person. We ended up keeping the pod at the storage unit longer than anticipated. It ended up there for eight months and some sort of critter must have gotten into it at some point and there were acorns and leaves in there. It was used as a little storage for an animal.

    I needed to use a container to store some stuff for a move. I liked the price of PODS. The booking process was fairly easy. The person I spoke to asked what I was storing. Based on the amount of items I had, they suggested the bigger container. I told them which side of the driveway to drop it on ‘cause I live in a duplex. I just made sure my parking space was empty and the car next to me wasn't there. He was able to deliver it.

    My only problem was with the pick up driver. I had sent specific instructions to knock on my garage door when they arrived. I did this because I had just spent the last 3 days unloading the trailer in record AZ heat, some days were 115 and I spent the entire night and morning of the pick up day to make sure it was ready. I was tired and I have cardio problems which limit how much I can do. The trailer was empty but there was a few things that were placed just outside the door and I planned on moving them once the driver arrived. The amount of time to move those items was going to take less than 5 minutes and at the moment I finished clearing the trailer out I couldn't continue even just 5 minutes and has to lay down to rest. I get dizzy if I'm standing too long.

    I heard a truck and got up and went outside to see if it was the pick up and it was, he was already walking back towards his truck when I went out there. I asked if he was ready to pick it up and he said he couldn't do it and was leaving! Now this is exactly why I said to knock on the door, I asked him why he couldn't and he said there's stuff too close to the trailer. I quickly took pictures of what was there and he was already on his phone trying to let you guys know he wasn't picking it up.

    I moved everything in less than 1 minute, he was still on the phone as I finished and had to wait for him so I could have him come back and look at everything being clear. I told him that there was no way I was letting him leave without that trailer. I took more pictures in case he tried to get out of it. He still has to get his mover unpacked from his truck and I stood there watching. The time it took him to get the mover in place was 10 times as long as it took me to move those few items away from the back of the trailer. He didn't say a word and took off once it was done. A very different meeting than I had with the delivery driver who was quite nice and did all he could to position the trailer as far as he could in my driveway to one side even though there was a few things that made it a tight fit to only take up one lane in my 2 lane driveway.

    The only mechanical problem I experienced was the door straps that hold the door in position were worn through on one side and it made to difficult to open and close the door. After a while both straps has worn out but at that time I saw no reason to have you fix them. The first month I had the door open and closed often but after that the door was only opened once in a while and had no real big issue.

    To start the claim they'll tell you the delivery window the night before. They didn't. We moved our cars of the way just in case luckily. But that was the smallest of problems. When it came time to deliver our pods to the new house they also could not give a window until the night before. Which is tricky with movers. Anyway the night came and they said it would arrive by 9am. Cool. We woke up the next morning to an email saying they cannot be delivered. Full stop. Not a new time, just they cannot be delivered. We called and they said they don't deliver to our area. After already accepting our money and taking our stuff. We were on the phone forever trying to get them to tell us when they would deliver and they claimed the next day first thing for sure. That we would be compensated for the hassle, needing to pay and reschedule movers, and pay for a new night in a hotel. That we would have the new delivery time that night.

    That night we get an email saying it would be ANOTHER day later. We called and told them how unacceptable this was. They finally relented that would deliver tomorrow after all but in the afternoon. So we had to pay movers for the lost time and reschedule them as well. Again. After this saga was finally done out support ticket, that they claimed would compensate us, was closed as "no fault found." I was livid. We called and they are now reopening the ticket... But I don't have a lot of hope. They are so dysfunctional and their customer service is awful to try and claim this wasn't their fault even.

    Pod was very spacious, and we wound up only needing one. It was delivered when scheduled. We packed it well and it seemed to travel with no damage to contents. When I compared costs to other movers it compared favorably. I was very pleased with PODS, I feel they made the move very easy and convenient.

    I moved from Oklahoma to Alabama and I liked that I had access to PODS in those states. I also liked being able to have the container on site, take my time packing it, then have it picked up and shipped. It was a big deal for me to be able to have the container to pack on my time frame. It wasn't like calling a moving company to come do everything in one day.

    Booking the pod was easy, and the person that delivered my pod was very patient with me. He explained everything, took time to show me how to open the door, how to close it, and things to avoid while I pack it so I didn't have to worry about not being able to open the door. I was extremely impressed with him. It was the same experience with the delivery driver that delivered the pod to Alabama. He was extremely professional and patient. He allowed me to make sure that I could open the door so we knew if he needed to try to tilt the pod back. It could have been a frustrating process, but PODS went above and beyond more than what you normally get these days out of customer service. Each person was a godsend. I would definitely use and recommend PODS in the future.

    We had PODS before and they were good. This time, we booked two 16 footers over the phone, and the reps were great. They answered all the questions I had, to start with, because I wasn't sure about the what, where and how. The price was good ‘cause we got military, and the 16 footers were clean and sturdy. They served our purpose. We loaded household goods.

    I pulled up PODS online and it walked me through it, like what was I needing it for and how long would I need it for. It was pretty easy. The pod fits on the back of a flatbed, small truck like a wrecker truck. I had trouble with the lock a little bit. It kind of would stick, the lock itself with mine. But the handle that would slide so that you could put your padlock in was a little tricky to use, maneuver. But otherwise, it was fine. It worked for what I needed it to work for. I had it exactly two months.

    The pricing was a little high since it was just a drop-off and then a pickup. It's not like I packed it and they had to move it for me and things like that. Because really, it was just drop it down and then it was storage for me. So, I thought it was a little pricey. Plus, the fact that there was no prorating. That bothered me a little bit. So, I had to make sure that I cut it off before the first of the month so that I didn't get charged for a whole another month. The other thing that I was a little disturbed about was that the drop-off and pickup fee are not included in the price of the monthly charge. So, that was an additional cost. The cost of the monthly charge should have covered pickup and drop-off for each of those months.

    PODS called me and discussed it before they dropped it off because where I wanted to do it wasn't large enough. I was asking them to put it in the front yard with the opening up against the driveway, but they ended up needing to put it in the driveway. We had got it to unload what was salvageable from our place where it burned and we didn't have anywhere to go back in and it was like the end of the COVID lockdown. And you know how all the prices are and all the listings for all real estate went up really high right then. We couldn't find anything even to move into for a while. I had it for like two years. The pod was perfectly strong. Fine. I didn't see any outside or inside damage.

    PODS allowed me the convenience of packing my own and it worked out well. Every time I had questions, Charlene, the rep, walked me through it. She was very good. It’s not every day that you do a pod and the rep was patient and explained what I needed to do as well as the timeline, packing it and then having it picked up and then sent over from Oregon to California. Even though PODS had to put it in storage for a week, at least the whole container went into storage. It’s not like they had to unload everything from a truck, put it in the storage, and then the next few weeks when I need to move out, they take everything from storage and move it back into the truck. More things will get lost and broken along the process that way.

    The drivers were helpful because they came on time and were gentle with that 16-foot pod. Everything arrived intact and nothing was broken. There were a few things, but it's just how it is. It wasn't important. It was a few of the storage boxes because it was stacked too heavy. It’s interesting how the crew connected the pod to the truck. So, it was a learning process. The price was reasonable for what was done. But PODS charged me for a whole month even though the pod was only in storage for a total of five days. I could have had it moved earlier. It was just put into storage because of the dates. It could have been prorated such that if they did it within a week, they could charge me seven days. If I did 10 days, then charge me two weeks. But 30 days was quite a bit amount. Still, I would recommend PODS to future friends who are moving, depending on if they wanna move themselves, that pod is easier.

    We rented two pods and stored them. The rep I worked with at PODS explained everything to me. Then, when I had to change dates on a couple of things, I'd call him and he was very helpful with that too. The drivers were all good. In particular, we had a female driver named Becca and she put that pod in a spot I didn't think she was gonna be able to, but she sure did. All the drivers were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed talking to all of them. My husband had an exchange with Earl and really liked him and I didn't even see him. We would use them again and if someone asked, we would recommend them.

    I did a web search of mobile storage because I needed something to clean out my garage so I can get it fixed and to have some extra space. My choices were PODS and Mobile Attic and another one. I didn't care about Mobile Attic's customer service. They said my driveway had to be long. It was just 3 feet short and they said they couldn't bring their truck in and put it in there properly. So, they couldn't do anything for us. Whereas PODS didn't make any fuss. I did everything via online or in an app and I only got a call once just saying that the driver was bringing it. I asked him if I had to be there and he said no. So, I told him to just bring it in.

    I got the largest pod and it was nice. It's set up so it can be moved from one location to another with stuff in it. They had a little hanger for clothes and hooks that you could tie things in to make sure it didn't move if they picked it up and moved it. We had an apartment in Chicago and we used PODS one time before to ship our stuff down to Columbia, South Carolina. But we had somebody else come in and pack it for us.
