    We chose PODS so that we didn’t have to unpack once we got to the new location. We wanted to pack and unpack at our convenience versus having the moving truck show up. I booked over the phone and the person was helpful. Once we got the first pod, he gave us the recommendation that the 7-footer was not going to be adequate and that we had to order another 16-footer. We ended up with two 16-footers and they were in good condition. They arrived very quickly and we placed them wherever we wanted. The drivers were very friendly and helpful. They tried to do as much as they could with the space we had. They'd say, “We'll be there between 10:00 and 2:00,” but they were always there at the early end of the timeframe.

    However, we got a little conflicting information. Since we had two pods that were delivered different dates, the first time PODS called, I asked them if I could receive pod 1 or pod 2. They said, “It doesn’t matter as long as you get one returned by such and such dates.” But when I asked it the second time, they said, “No. You have to have pod 1 returned first and pod 2 would have to come after pod 1 unless you wanted to pay for another month.” I didn’t really want to do that, but it worked out okay.

    We were relocating from South Carolina to Missouri. We knew that there was going to be a minimum of a three months gap before we would need our belongings again because the house was not gonna be ready until then. A moving company just doesn't have that type of capability at this time without having your items unpacked then repacked while you're not present. So with that we got PODS which we have used before. The cost of having a moving company move us would have been almost $10,000. With PODS it was a 10th of the cost.

    I booked online then I called to confirm everything over the phone. The container was massive. They had me try the door and gave me a few helpful tips as far as how to pack it. The driver put it where I wanted it, how I wanted it located so that I could still maintain the use of my driveway. If I hadn't known that somebody else had used it before me, I would think it was a brand new pod. I was able to pack it and I had full accessibility to it. They kept it in Charlotte where I could locate it. If I ever needed it, it was available to me. Then, when I was ready for it to be forwarded to Missouri, it was within 30 minutes of the home in Missouri. It just made it easy all the way around. They also provided labor to offload my things.

    PODS was so accommodating and gracious. The last month that I had them I only had the pod five days so they refunded me the month. That was a very nice thing and nobody told me about that in advance. When I called to the pick-up the pods, the young girl on the phone told me that instead of getting it on a Tuesday, if they got in there on Monday I would be refunded the whole month's charge. Everything went so smoothly that we really didn't have any problems at all.

    My experience with PODS was all good and I would tell a friend who might ask about them to just go right ahead. PODS was the first storage or moving company that we thought of and we didn't feel like checking around. I booked them over the phone, but we might have started online and the rep called. My interaction with the PODS rep was very good and I requested a big 16-foot container. The container was clean and although I could see wear and tear, it was fine. And I felt quite comfortable putting my belongings in the storage. The drivers who picked up the container called before he delivered it telling me he was going to deliver it. And then when he dropped it off, he called to say he accidentally put it on the incorrect side. But it was actually better where he put it so it was totally fine. We had the pod for about a month and then they picked it up.

    We were doing both the moving and storing services from PODS. We've tried other companies before and I have seen PODS on the internet and it seemed like a better idea to me to try them out. With the storage included and somebody else coming and picking up the storage unit, instead of me having to drive a truck around, it was more appealing to me. I booked with them online and navigating thru their website was easy. It was very user-friendly, easy to get around, and I could book everything there. I didn't have to contact anybody other than talk to the driver. Everything went very smooth, from start to finish. The container was in great condition when it arrived and the drivers were awesome. The experience with PODS was good. I would use them again and would recommend it to friends.

    I had a good experience with PODS. I chose them for they had the most convenience over other companies. I started my booking online but I ended up doing it over the phone. Still, the pods were very good. We got two 16 feet containers and it was enough for our accommodation. One of the doors had a little bit of trouble with the lock but once the delivery guy came he was able to get it to close. Their drivers were very communicative and helpful. They've let me know ahead of time when they were going to arrive and when they were coming to pick up. The only thing I would think would just be the delivery time as far as location to location. We were moving and have to wait for a week to get our next one when we were only two hours away. That was kind of funny but all they said was they had to have five business days between pick up and delivery to those locations.

    We were moving so we had a storage unit for a couple of months with PODS. We chose them due to their reputation and the convenience of them dropping it off at the house and picking it back up. I booked online then one of their reps reached out via phone. The online experience was easy. They even had a place where I could tell them what direction I wanted the pod facing. The representatives were awesome. We requested for the 16-foot long container and it was a good size. It was packed to the hill, but it was good and we got everything in there. The drivers were awesome as well. They always called in advance and they said they were on their way out here. They always let me know that they got it picked up. Not only was the experience good, but the manager of the local location called me afterwards and checked in. He specifically called me and asked how things went and if they did well. PODS is a 5-star company as far as I’m concerned.

    We were getting our garage fixed up with some additional storage so we needed to clear the garage in order for that construction to happen. We shopped around and PODS was the most economical based on everything that needed to be done. I also looked at PACK-RAT, but there was something that made PODS easier to do than other services. While the cost was comparable, PODS was a little less and a little easier to set up.

    We booked PODS online and their online site was fairly easy to use. We requested for the midsized container. It wasn't the tiniest but it wasn't the biggest one either and it was the perfect size for everything that we needed. Everything was in tiptop shape. It was clean and it was easy to understand how to use. We had our own lock and it was cool. We weren't home when they picked it up or dropped off but it was great. I really appreciated that we didn't have to be home while it was dropped off or picked up because we're working and that makes it difficult. In terms of using it for onsite storage, PODS was great as well. However, they accidentally charged us for an additional month, so I called them and the reps were able to waive that and it was easy.

    Overall I would tell others that if they were looking to have an additional spot for their stuff while their storage space got worked on, PODS is easy and cost-efficient. Initially, part of my hope was that we could rent it for less than a month, but it turned out that a month was what we needed. Others can rent it month by month and it turns out that usually, that's what they need.

    I used PODS for storage which I booked online. Their online booking was not difficult. And since it wasn't difficult for me, it would be a piece of cake for everybody else. I had them deliver the pod in my house while I was doing some construction so I could move stuff around in the house and then not have to move everything from the bedrooms out to the dens so that we could still function. I had it at the house for eight months.

    The way they delivered it was pretty cool and neat. The guy, just one person, lifted the pod up, put it over and rolled it into place. The container was in a decent condition when we received it. It didn’t leak and it didn’t have any holes in it. And that was all I cared about. It had a good appearance and it has PODS written all over it. But it might have been better if it was camouflage so nobody could see it. Also, locking the pod was a little bit difficult. It needed some pressure and tapping with a hammer and it went right into place. It was also expensive but it worked for me and it served its purpose. If I ever had to do it again, I would do the same thing. I would absolutely recommend PODS to a friend.

    I needed the use of a storage container and with PODS, I like the ease of delivery of the pod to my location and their pick-up service when I was done. The process was very well-organized and efficient. I looked online to see how much we should pay. And I spoke to an individual when I was ready to go. He ordered it all up and they delivered it on time, on the day they said they would. When it was time for me to empty the pod out and to arrange for its pick-up once it was empty, that worked like a charm. I ended up having it on my premises for three months and then it disappeared when it was supposed to. It worked perfectly.

    The reps were all fine, and everything worked like clockwork. The container had some marks on the outside but it was fine. It was clean on the inside and it was perfectly secured with my lock on it. It was perfectly suited to the purpose. I would use PODS again for the same kind of purpose if it ever arose. And if anybody had a similar need, then I'd tell them it worked for me.

    I went online but PODS called to give me a quote for a move from California to Tennessee. The first price they quoted me was about $800 higher than the truck and then I hemmed and hawed about it so they lowered their price about $400. So, it was a good experience and I had no problem with the representatives. They answered all my questions and they told me when they were going to drop it off in my house in California, when they were going to pick it up and when it was going to be delivered to Tennessee. In Tennessee, they delivered it to a holding area and delivered it when I was ready to have it delivered so everything went real well.

    The 16-foot container I requested was in good condition and at first, we didn’t think we would fill it but we did. I’m not fully moved in yet because I haven’t retired yet so I’m going to rent a U-Haul trailer and haul the rest since there’s not much left. The guy who dropped the container off was helpful and told me how to pack or how to tie things down with the tie straps and stuff. The pick-up and delivery guys were nice and friendly. When I was done unloading it here in Tennessee. I called them up and told them they could pick it up and they said okay. I finished on a Friday but obviously, it's too late in the day to come back and get it. So the next Monday, they picked it up.

    I needed to move from Ohio to Texas and PODS was cheaper than doing it with U-Haul. I booked PODS online but went over the phone so that I could guarantee everything. Their rep was able to answer all my questions. We got the largest container, and I was rushed to get things into it because my husband had already moved down here so I was loading everything by myself. But it was my own fault because I was still trying to live in the house and pack. The drivers were fine. The one when we got in Texas had an easier time with our pod than the guy in Ohio because we were living on a busy street. So traffic was an issue for the guy in Ohio. But with the guy in Texas, we live in a cul-de-sac so it was nothing and everything moved fine.

    I went to the storage facility in Ohio one other time after the pod was down there after I’d gotten everything done to add more stuff to it and that was okay. The only thing that I didn’t like was that there was nobody out there and I wasn’t told that. I didn’t know where my pod was until I happened to look at the pod that was sitting there for me to find that it had my name on it. Still, I would recommend PODS.

    The worst service I’ve experienced in my 61 years. I scheduled a move from Tulare, CA to Athens, TN. PODS delivered the container to my Calif home as scheduled on 3/16, and picked it up, loaded on 3/23. On 4/4 when I contacted PODS to inquire why I hadn’t been contacted about the TN delivery my loaded POD was still setting in Fresno, CA being stored, it was never a storage agreement. They can now deliver to TN on 4/17, and I will have to have unloaded by 4/20 for no additional storage fees, but I return to Calif on 4/11. PODS had notified me they will review the incident in the next 30 days. I’ve advised POD they will give us until 4/30 with no fees as it will be only my daughter and son-in-law now and he is already working. They should have been gracious enough to offer that without me demanding it. DO NOT USE PODS for a move.

PODS was able to go where we needed to and they have the best price for an out-of-state move. We went from Maryland to Ohio. The reps who I spoke with were professional. I never had any issues with not getting the information I needed. I had originally requested a smaller container but they're more for an out-of-state move. It's better that I had the big one because I still had to leave stuff behind. The pod I got looked brand new. However, I was a little worried because it didn't seem like there were any straps in there but I was able to make it work. It looks like a spider web of ropes in the house.

    Also, they were exactly there when they said they were gonna be there and the same thing with the drop-off. The drivers were helpful as well. They made sure you put the mattresses in at the very end because we've had issues where it's being shipped. They gave us lots of nice tips to help us get them all packed. When we moved, we didn't have a location where it was going. It was easy to call them and let them know when we were actually ready. It was nice to be able to have it just stored and open-ended as we were moving without a house to go to yet. It could just be stored in Ohio but not necessarily have an exact place where it needed to be dropped off yet. We just told them when and where and that made it easy.

    My PODS experience was awesome all the way around from the first time I called them. We were moving out of our house and into a new house which wasn't going to be quite ready, so we had a pod delivered, then stored it on site and then redelivered to our new house. We got the middle-sized pod which we booked online, and their website was definitely good. The container's condition and cleanliness were excellent as well. I saw the PODS drivers three times and they were very friendly and knowledgeable.

    The only thing was when I called PODS because I needed the city ordinance, I talked to a rep about the delivery of the pod to our new house. The guy was very friendly and told me that according to the City of Sparks ordinance, I could store a pod on the street for 48 hours. However, when I called back, the lady I was able to talk to was not as friendly as the first rep and she told me otherwise. She said that I probably had to put the pod on my driveway because the ordinance says that I couldn't store it. I had confirmed the ordinance again in another way and we could keep it on there for 48 hours. I called back one other time and I talked to somebody else who said, "Yeah. It says right here. You can keep it there for 48 hours." Overall, I would highly recommend PODS and I'd use them again in a heartbeat. It was very convenient.

Using PODS was a matter of convenience, so I called them and looked for some direction in terms of how big of a unit I needed. They were helpful with that, but I wish I could have gotten a bigger one. I wasn't there when they delivered the container to Texas but when it arrived, it was on backwards, so their warehouse worker dropped it in the middle of the street, turned it around, picked it up and delivered it. Then, he helped me make sure that I could get the door opened since it was tightly packed.

    I was moving from Pennsylvania to Virginia and I had seen PODS' advertisements. And the concept sounded good for what I was needing to do. I needed something that I could move stuff and load stuff because I didn’t have much help. I needed to set my own pace on that and load the stuff that was not as important plus furniture.

    And then as I would be moving out then I would get a U-Haul and put the rest of the stuff in that, and come on down, and then meet both down here and unload them. And that was exactly what happened with PODS. I did hire some people that they recommended or off in the website and they came out and did an outstanding job loading it up. And then we came down and my son-in-law had some friends down here. I was fortunate that I had five guys over helping me. And so we unloaded the whole thing very quickly in one day. And then, I already had a prearranged schedule for them to come out and pick up the pod which they did.

    I got the size 16 container. I wish it could have been another 8 feet longer but it was in perfect shape. It was clean. The door worked well. And the driver gave me a very helpful hand. One of the things that I had in there was a bedroom suite and he said to put the mattress, the last thing in. That way when the load shifts, I'd have some cushion to push back to get the door open.

    Both the drivers who delivered and picked up the pods were very good. I enjoyed talking with them and they were very proficient and professional. They got in, got their job and left. Everything was good. The whole thing cost me about $2,000. If you're prepared to spend that much money and have a house full of stuff go for it. Whoever invented PODS had a great idea.

    PODS was the only company that I knew of that drops off the storage container. Also, you could just have it as long as you needed it, then store it, then drop it off again. So I got the largest one and had it delivered to Florida and loaded it. I got the largest container but it wasn't big enough. Some of my stuff went to my mom's pod. Nonetheless, it was fine and in good condition. The pod got transported to Tennessee and then we unloaded it. It was stored at Tennessee for about a month.

    All the drivers were patient and great. And, the customer service on the calls was wonderful. I had to call a number of times because we changed dates and we needed an extra pod and they were all wonderful. However, I had one problem. We read the tips and tricks on the website for how to pack but when the container arrived, it was so hard to open. We bungee cord everything in and there was just a mattress there, but the bungees got caught on the door.

    Because the door wouldn't roll down, you hold it down. But then when you try to hold the door up, the big fat roll that happens as the door rolls up gets caught on chair legs. There should be something that would reinforce customers that they could not stuff the container past a certain point and that the bungees would get caught on the side clips.

    I was visiting my son in Houston, Texas when my move was confirmed that I would be making it to Colorado. My son recommended PODS and he said that was the way that all of his friends had been going and that I should call. I was really pleased not only with the thoroughness of the phone call, I was also able to do everything over the phone including finding a date for my exact move. The gentleman that I dealt with on the phone said that people usually book these four months out. I called him at the end of January and it was three weeks later that I had a pod delivered to my house in North Carolina so it was very timely. And in my situation that was really great because things like this happen sometimes.

    The people at PODS were also polite and they communicated well with me. It was very convenient for me to have the pod there to pack at my convenience. However, they drove off the day that they picked up the pod empty at my destination and they drove off with the rented blankets that I had rented from another company. I called PODS about it the next day because I didn't get the message that they were coming to pick it up at the particular time they did. So, I hadn't had time to go out and get the two-dozen moving blankets.

    I was supposed to have returned those to the rental place and now the rental place has been bugging me to pay for them. I rented them but I was supposed to return them and I never heard back from PODS. That was about eight weeks ago. It was sometime towards the end of February that I called and I would have been more diligent about following up about it but I have never heard back from the rental place. That was a piece of unfinished business that PODS needed to communicate back with me about either they couldn't find the blankets or something.

    But I would recommend PODS. I have been telling people that it was how I moved and how convenient it was to be able to pack it myself and to pack it in stages instead of tripping over boxes in the house that you packed and waiting for a moving person to come on the move day. It was much less stressful and we were satisfied with PODS.

We kept it for about three months and then I needed it moved to a new location. I did all the booking online. It was very simple and accurate. They came when they said they would come and they charged me what they said they would charge.

    Someone from PODS called and they wanted to bring the pod a day early, which turned out to be fantastic. So I got a call from the office as the drivers always called to confirm when they were coming. I got email and texts about next appointments and things that I had booked, but mostly, my phone contact was just confirmation. I had great interactions with those drivers. They were friendly and they did what they said they were going to do. It was a tight squeeze at one place, yet nobody was complaining about it. They were very conscientious workers.

    PODS is doing a great job. Now, when people move and they say, “How did you do it?” I'd say, “I used PODS. I was very happy.” That’s advertising they can't buy. If PODS keeps doing a good job, they’ll get word of mouth. PODS is recognizable enough if you drive around. Their logo is very simple, and it catches your eye when you're driving around and see who's using them. PODS is on the right track. However, they're not terribly affordable to everybody. They have the name recognition but I probably could have paid a little less. But I was handling 30 years worth of my stuff so I wanted to make sure that the container was in good shape. That may not be what everyone else can do but certainly for the service we got, and I knew up front what it was going to cost me, I was very satisfied.

There were a couple things that were a little confusing like how to do the placement and move that around. I thought I could drag it and click but it wasn’t like that. I just had to pick one of the three. Other than that, everything was fine. They were very user friendly and we really appreciated their service.

    We looked up PODS on the internet and it had some really good reviews so we booked for both moving and storage. I could not book online the date that I wanted it in Boise, so I had to call the 800 number. They said at that time there was something wrong with the website. A PODS rep was able to help and they took care of it. They asked me when I wanted the pod moved to Boise and I gave them a date, and everything was great. And when the pod was delivered, I had somebody call me and say that they're an hour away and they wanted to let me know that they were going to be dropping off. The pod was there a day before my husband and I got there the last time.

    When I initially called to have them deliver it, they asked me how long I needed it. I said it would probably be three to four days, they gave us three and that was about right. When they came, they were really good and everything was neat and perfect. The way we initially got it was exactly the way he left the pod. We're going to need another pod and I was going to call to find out if I could get some sort of discount seeing how this will be the second one that I've booked. I had a really great experience using PODS and I've told family members and friends how convenient it was.

    When I needed to move, PODS came in with a good recommendation. A friend of ours used PODS two years ago and didn’t have any problems. I went online and booked a 16-foot container and we had it while we moved from Pennsylvania down to South-West Florida. It was the perfect size for us and it was clean. It also looked watertight and there was nothing to indicate that it was going to leak rain. The driver did a great job. He was very cautious, thorough and very concerned about how he was going to bring the container in and where he was going to drop it. It was excellent dealing with him. Plus, everything was right on schedule. We drove down and it was in the driveway when we got there, exactly when it was supposed to be. Nothing inside was damaged in the least. Everything worked out perfectly.

    My son-in-law had an experience with PODS when he moved into the same area that I was moving into. I also went online, checked out some services, and I decided that PODS was who I wanted to go with. I called them and everything was explained very nicely. I booked a large pod and it was in great condition when I got it. It stayed that way even through the storage and when I had them move it about three or four times so I could get things out of it as I moved into an apartment temporarily.

    Then I made the final move and when they landed the pod at its destination, it was contorted a little. I didn't know the exact reason why but it was very difficult to open and close the door. After I unloaded it, everything went back to normal. Then, when their rep came out to pick up the pod, it was pouring. But he had all the right equipment so he could proceed with it and everything went well. All in all, the deliveries and pick ups were very crisp and on time. My experience with PODS was what I expected and I was very satisfied with the results. I would recommend them.

    We got a storage from PODS to store our household items while we were having our house built. All I had to do is load our stuff once and then PODS would take it away, hold it for us and then bring it back to our residence. That was the easiest and most cost-effective way we could do it. It was so much nicer than having to unload it into a storage and go to your storage and unload it and let it set there for two or three months or how long you need it there and then have to load it back up. Our things were taken care of perfectly by PODS. Nothing was damaged.

    I went online to book but then I end up calling and talking to somebody because we had to change dates. They were was awesome. It all worked out just perfect. The people were here when they were supposed to be here to bring it, to take it and to bring it back to us so it worked great. We got 16 footer container. We needed a larger one but we end up just getting a small storage to put garage items then. We could have done like maybe two smaller ones instead of a single large one. But it was nice and clean.

When they picked the container up, they called to tell me they were coming. Then during the delivery, the driver called me to ask if he could put the container somewhere else because he was afraid he'd hurt the newly poured driveway, which was nice.

They told me how I could do it and what to expect, and it went away they said. The 16-foot pod was big enough but I found a little leak in the back corner on the left when it rained. It wasn't an issue though because what got damp was something that I could wash and dry. That aside, the drivers were absolutely wonderful.

    PODS made it easy transitioning from selling a home and buying one, which is always challenging to get done. I liked the convenience and that I could select the date when the pod would be dropped off, picked up, and redelivered to the new house. I booked it over the internet and I had some significant issues with their online platform. Their system wasn’t working so I ended up having to talk to somebody in person. But I also had issues when I talked to them on the phone as somehow the wires got crossed. The pod was set to be dropped off and picked up a couple days after I booked it since we were in escrow and we had to move out of our home. But when I called them to double check the pick-up date, the lady was told me that it was never scheduled that way.

    Apparently, when I did the order online, the person didn’t put that in that they needed to pick the pod back up. Instead, they put that in that it was being stored on site. So, I had to call back and tell them that that was incorrect. I would not have scheduled that because we needed to be out of the house in four days. In the end, they were able to pick it up. Then, there was an issue again where I had to call them once more and file another complaint because they messed up the pick-up date. They couldn’t pick up the pod on the day that I needed them to pick it up and that they couldn't do it until the following month. So they billed me for a second month. But they gave me a claim number and told me they were going to reimburse me for the double charge. Right now, we moved into a new house, it’s super hectic, and I don’t know if they credited me the $400. If they didn’t, then I’ve got another large issue with them.

    Other than that, the container was clean and great. The driver was also on time, professional, and really good. We had an overhanging tree in the neighborhood that we lived in in Sacramento and he was able to navigate that. He didn't mess up the house, the driveway, or the landscape. All-in-all, everything worked out. Whenever you have people involved, there can be errors. But the ones I encountered was more on the computer and scheduling side.

    I moved my mother into assisted living after she had some medical issues and mental problems. I needed her in some place where she was taken care of because she wasn't eating, getting up, getting dressed or bathing. At that time, I needed something to put all the things she didn't want to get rid of. My mom's condo had been sold so I emptied a lot of her stuff into my garage as there was no other place in my home. PODS was the first company that came to mind. A friend of mine had used a pod to move from Baltimore to Seattle a number of years ago and she was very pleased with the company.

    So, I looked up PODS online and called them. Their representatives were fine but unfortunately, they didn't have the smallest pod available. I wanted to get a smaller one but I was under time constraints. I needed to finish emptying my mom's condo so I didn't have time to wait for the smallest pod to become available. Still, the representatives were very helpful and they explained everything. However, they didn't explain the pickup fee and the fact that they would not be refunding the last half of the month if I would be having the stuff picked up and moved out in the middle of the month. Despite this, I needed the pod and I was in a hurry. I ended up with the seven-foot pod. Had I had the smaller pod, I could have packed it a little tighter. And so, my mom's stuff was spread out all over the floor of the container. I stacked the boxes against the back wall but the whole middle part of the pod was open. I could pull the snow blower or lawn mower into it. The pod was really too big and I didn't need the extra three feet.

    The drivers who dropped off the container and picked it up were great. We're back a driveway from the street and we share the driveway with four other houses. We all have an emergency turnaround area off that driveway. That's where I had the POD parked, where it wasn't blocking the garages. The drop-off guy kept maneuvering until he had it in as tight as he could get but still get his equipment out. On the other hand, the pickup driver came, got the pod and left. I heard him outside and saw the truck but didn't see him so we didn't have any contact.

    However, I didn't get the pod emptied as quickly as I would have liked to. After I got the pod, my mom was still alive for two years plus. Then, after she passed, I had the pod emptied within 6 months. So, it was almost three years worth of keeping her stuff and paying for the storage. At $160 a month, PODS service was a little costly. Over the course of three years, I paid for three PODS to be built. There was also a pick-up fee and a drop-off on top of the $160. I cannot help it that I live in Catonsville and that PODS place is in White Marsh. That added another $100 to the total bill over three years. Moreover, I paid for the entire last month but even though I had the pod picked up and moved out in the middle of the month, I didn't get a rebate of that payment.

    I advise people to figure out how long you're going to need the pod. I can get a 12 by 12 storage unit for $20 a month and I climate controlled one for $50 a month. I could have kept my mom's stuff in that type of unit for 10 years with what I paid for the pods. Still, using it was very worthwhile. It was my fault that I had it so long and lost that much money.

We moved and we put about half of our stuff in a pod and we took the other half to a place that we rented for 11 months while our new house was being built. And when the house was built and finished, PODS delivered the container to the driveway and we took it from there. The follow-up and timeliness were good. Everything went very smoothly. The container seemed to be very sturdy and very good in all respects.

    However, I had a problem getting the door to roll up when it was delivered the second time for unloading purposes. They delivered it and we didn’t even bother to try and open the door, but the guy had left and I couldn’t get it open. It would go up about a foot and a half and just stop. But I forgot that there was something hanging it up and we got that taken care of.

    We were moving a long distance and I had hired movers but they weren’t able to get everything that I needed to move. They were bad movers. And so I hired PODS to get the rest of the stuff from my house to move it from Boston to Georgia. The whole process was incredibly simple and easy, and based on what the movers were like, I was worried that the pod thing would go as twirly as the movers did, but it was the exact opposite, so everything was great. When I called PODS to pick the pod up to move it down to Georgia, they were on time and everything was incredibly accurate. The people I dealt with and talked to were incredibly professional and very nice. Also, when I had questions, I called and spoke to somebody and they were good about calling me back and reminding me of certain things both by e-mail and by a phone call. I really appreciate that because, in the process of moving, we didn’t have internet for a little bit.

    The pod that we got was big enough to put all my stuff in. I was concerned about it first because I had to put a treadmill in there and an elliptical machine and a bunch of other stuff. I wasn't sure it was going to be big enough but I didn’t really have much of a choice. We got the seven-foot pod. And I was able to put everything in there without any issues at all. As a matter of fact, when everything got to our place in Georgia, I just kept my fingers crossed because our movers lost and broke a lot of stuff and when we used PODS, nothing was broken. Everything looked just like it was when I put it in there so I was very pleased. If I was ever going to do anything again for either storage or moving, I would definitely use PODS.

    We relocated from New York to Florida and we were selling the house, and of people that I’ve known that relocated from New York to Florida, it turned out that they picked the moving company, they picked up their furniture and all their belongings, and another company wound up delivering it, and a lot of stuff was broken and it was mixed up with other people’s stuff. I wasn’t happy with any moving company. But with PODS, we put our own lock on it, and we took our own lock off. We booked over the phone and got the largest container, which was a little tight, but we had enough room. The service was on time and I’m very happy with the whole service that was provided. We had a little issue with opening up the door since it was pretty much packed. My wife had called the driver and he said, “Okay, I’ll swing by”, because he was still in the area, and he came and helped us open up the door, which was very nice and very helpful.

    The only thing that was a little upsetting was that when I called, even just for an estimate on it, they put me through the whole entire ordeal and they wanted me to give them dates. We didn’t know we were going to sell the house, and I felt a little pressured by that. I also found out that it was more expensive than in the time that we moved, because we wanted to move in January, so I had a July and August that I originally had, and I gave them dates. Also, they wanted a credit card number but I said I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. But other than that, the service was wonderful. Everything worked out. We mention to others that it was a really good service and we were glad that we chose PODS rather than a moving company—that you lock it, they take it and they’ll hold on to it.

    It's easy and convenient to move stuff with PODS. You're not really pressed for time and you're not rushing around. You don't have to do any kind of dragging at all. I don't know if it would be considered cheap by all means but you still have the expenditures renting the truck and doing a lot of other things. And one thing they do have which is cool is that they have people that will load that thing up for you and unload it if you won't want to do it. It's a very good concept with PODS. I've moved a few times and doing it with PODS has been the best and the smoothest way.

    I needed their service for moving but it ended up keeping the container in storage until I decided what day I wanted it to move forward. I did the booking over the phone and the sales people really knew their stuff. And every time I called, I almost got a different kind of person. But they all seemed to be very knowledgeable and professional about everything that they do. So, that was surprising in a way. They have two sizes and I got the bigger one. It got most of all the big main things and it worked out. And if I happened to do the first one, I could get an idea of what I got left if I would need another one. So, that's cool too.

    They dropped the container off and then I filled it up. Then, I set up a time for them to come back and get it like a day or two later. And that's exactly the way it worked. I would contact the customer service if I changed my mind about a certain delivery date. And then, it was cool that I hadn’t done any driving. Everything worked exactly as they said. And the driver was giving a heads up that they were on their way and would be here at a certain time.

Also, the guy that picked it up didn’t have any problem getting it up from the area where we had it put. I also got a follow up call afterwards and that went very well. They wanted to know how everything went and if everything went the way I expected it, and I told them everything was excellent.

    After I did some research, I used PODS for their ease of use and the price. And when I called them, they were available right away, and customer service was good. I booked a container online and then I called. Most of my interactions with the representatives were on the phone and they were very helpful. I had a couple of changes and then I couldn’t put the pod on the street when they delivered it the first time, so they really helped educate and helped me navigate a little bit difficult situation. The container I got was the 9 x 12 size and it worked perfectly. The pod was loaded, used for long time storage off-site, then I had to call them back to get it moved to the permanent location. The drivers were great, very professional, and also very helpful. Even the follow-up interactions were very good. So, I had a good experience and was very pleased. I'd also tell others that they were very easy to work with, reliable, and made the experience easy.

It was eight by eight by sixteen and it was clean as a whistle. I had it delivered to my condo in Michigan, we filled it then we had it transported down to the Cincinnati area and it was in storage for five months. We built our house and then had it delivered there. Essentially, we wanted the big things moved with the pod and that worked just fine. PODS was the way for us to go and it’s what we did.

    I got the full gamut of storage and moving service from PODS. I like the ease and cost of it. It costs about the same as it was to rent a moving truck to move across the country and they also had the storage built into it. We did have a billing issue because of an issue on the website but the customer service was able to resolve it very quickly. We got the 12-foot container which was substantial and they did a great job telling me how much I needed for how much space I had. The pod was perfect when I received it. It was very clean. And, the driver was good. He put the pod right on the sidewalk right where it needed to be.

    I did receive a follow-up phone call from the supervisor on the drop-off with regards to the driver. I have a feeling it’s a driver that might either be new or under review and his supervisor wanted to follow up to make sure that he did well. Another thing, I was not made aware how much height clearance I was going to need to provide. It was a little tight getting ourselves underneath a couple of tree branches. Nonetheless, I had a wonderful experience. It fit my needs perfectly.

    I have seen PODS. The type of storage I need was on my property and that’s what they do. I looked online and where the prices had been, and the way it was set up and how it works. And then I called them to set it all up and the representative was knowledgeable and helpful. I was supposed to get the smaller container but when the guy picked it up from wherever they store them to bring it out, he got the wrong container. And in order to not have me wait for them, they had to take that one back and bring another one. He called the store and asked if he could just leave that one for the same price and that’s what they did.

    It was a nice storage container. It was clean and neat inside, and I had more than enough room. I returned it. I slept it out and cleaned it out. But the next person, his was clean. He was courteous and really nice. He apologized for the mix up. ‘Cause when he said “Oh, this one is not that price. This is the bigger one.” I said “Well, that’s not the one I ordered. I ordered the…” and he said “Oh. Well, let me call them and find out what happened.” And then when he called in, he realized what they had told him. The pickup wasn’t the size he was supposed to pick up. But in order to keep me from having to wait for them to take that one back, and then have somebody to reschedule bringing another one back out, they agreed to just leave that one for the same price.

    PODS brought me a container, I filled it, they moved it, and then picked it up. The pod was on the property the whole time and I did not store it. I booked the pod online and their webpage was easy to navigate as it was self-explanatory. I requested for the 16-foot container, and it was too big. I probably didn’t even fill half of it, but that was okay. I didn’t talk to anyone about what I needed, so I just had to guess. The condition of the container was fine. It wasn’t in an obvious need of a repair and it didn’t look specifically new, but it was great and it worked.

    Daniel, the driver that dropped off the container, was really good. He let me know what I needed to do to get him a safe access to the house, and then he gave me some basic tips on how to load that container and how to make sure that my items were secure in it. He also gave me a bit of advice on how to make sure that the pod stayed locked and what I needed to do before it was picked up and taken to the other location. The only problem that I had with that dealing was no one told me that they couldn't 180 the container. For example, the container was facing north on dropoff and needed to stay south when they went to the new location, but the driver couldn't change the direction of the door. I thought that was interesting, and they said that wasn’t something that they provided. So, it had to stay the way that they dropped it off. Had I known this, I would have had them drop it off differently.

    Daniel delivered the container to the initial address, and he was phenomenal. He was super helpful and he answered all my questions. Kevin was the person that I talked to when I had any questions about anything, and he did a lot to help out. There was one other problem that happened along the way and Kevin suggested that he would give a $100 credit on the account. My conversation with Kevin and the customer service was that they would provide me with a $100 refund check. We talked through emails and we had telephone conversations where he had me on a conference call with the company. They informed me that they would have given the refund check and it had just never happened. That’s been since the end of January.

    But other than that, I'm absolutely going to recommend PODS to a friend because of Daniel and Kevin. What both of them did has made my experience with PODS much better. But I feel that there are some commonsense information that’s not available on the website. For example, I needed to think about where I was going because it made unloading the container much more difficult that I couldn’t turn it around the other way.

    I had seen PODS' containers sitting on the side of the streets in certain neighborhoods when I was traveling. When I moved from Bradford Hills to Pittsburgh, I got one of those delivered to my home. While it was really easy to book on the web, I had too many questions and being online wouldn't answer. So, I booked on the phone and got the biggest container they have which was the correct size as I lived in a twin. I booked about two weeks in advance because the guy told me that if I waited three or four days before I wanted it, I may not be able to get the bigger pod. It was also in good shape.

    Everything went according to plan and it was delivered when they said it would and it was picked up when they said it would. I normally would have had it put it in the front of the house but there was a restriction since water lines are going to be re-put in the front of the house. There's a roadway behind my house, more like an alley, and the guy on the phone at PODS looked on Google map and said they might be able to get the container in the back. And the driver was able to get it in. I might have been the first one in that neighborhood to ever have a pod put in their driveway in the back. Then, I used the web for the pick-up. I went on and put down the date on the web that I wanted them to pick it up. And they picked it up right on time, right on the date they said they would.

    The only other comment I would make about the whole thing is they need to have more tie down connections inside the container. When one puts their furniture or mattress in, there should be more connections where one can put bungee cords on them or another rope and secure stuff in it. They did have some, but it wasn't enough. Other than that, I have told several people I had a great experience and I would use them again. I wouldn't even hesitate and definitely it worked for me.

    I liked that I could have my household belongings in storage and I had a month included in the package I had with PODS. I also liked the ease of transportation. My situation was that I was going to get a rental vehicle or go with the pods. I made my booking over the phone with PODS and they were helpful and they answered all the questions. But there was a little issue with my account. I called three times and I didn't realize that I was creating a new account each time I called and asked for quotes. But the actual scheduling, information and discussion of prices and details were pretty smooth.

    From scheduling or from getting that quote, customer service was very helpful. And even after I found out that I had several accounts, the lady helped me figure it out and straightened everything out. When the driver came, he was good at giving instructions as far as the details, how to use the pod and asked us how we wanted the pod to be positioned. He called ahead of time before he came to deliver or pick up the pod.

    PODS had a guesstimate on how many bedrooms and what size I should get. The pod I got was a good size because I was able to fit everything there. I even had leftover which was nice instead of not having enough space. The guesstimate was correct as far as saying that three bedrooms fit in such a size and the pod was also a pretty decent model.

    The cost was reasonable but PODS could do better. If they keep up those prices the way they are, I'd be willing to use them in the future. I wouldn't though if things get expensive. It was a good service. But I didn’t know that I had to use some additional months of storage more than what they offered at the beginning of the package. I thought I was going to pay an additional $700 a month for additional storage but it was like $200 and something. I'd recommend PODS. It’s very convenient and they do a good job.

    I was in the military and I had friends there who used PODS when they moved. I called PODS initially and they were courteous. The rep was very professional and informative. I got a 7-footer container and that worked for my needs. But when I received the PODS contract, like the day of, I started to review it in detail and I noticed on there the insurance option. I didn’t know that was available because the rep did not ask me if I wanted insurance. I called back and asked if I could get it because I was never informed that was an option. I was told at the time that it was too late because the contract had already been opened. The pod had not been delivered yet but they couldn’t make changes. I was frustrated at first but luckily, nothing was damaged.

    Another thing is PODS should have a comments section or suggestion box if a customer does not have the opportunity because a representative check declined from maybe assuming they did not want it. If the customer called that prior to the delivery of the pod, they should be allowed to get it. There should be a way that someone could come in and inspect the pod possibly when they drop it off to ensure that there is no damage done to it or nothing is wrong before any context was put in that they should be able to get it.

    Other than those, I had a great experience. There was this storage facility and I went there to add something to the container. It was 10 minutes to closing and I didn’t even think the gentleman who worked there would allow me to get anything. But he was so helpful. He pulled the pod out for me and he assisted me with my things. He went above and beyond which was pretty awesome. He displayed exemplary customer service. Kudos to the entire store wherever my pod was originally located. People should go with PODS but they should ensure that they get insurance or make sure that they ask if they offer insurance.

With PODS, we could pack the container up here in our driveway then they would take care of it and we didn’t have to haul things anywhere. So we went with them and booked their medium sized pod online. Their website and scheduling procedure were pretty straightforward. We just took it step by step and it was not difficult at all.

    When the pod arrived, there was more space on it than we needed but that was because I have poor powers of estimation. So the pod was too big and it cost us more money. Other than that, it came very clean and it had lots of places to tie things so that we could secure our items really well. The people who dropped it off and picked it up were very pleasant, polite, and wanted to make sure that everything was satisfactory in terms of our experience. Later, our pod went to a storage facility. Then they brought it back. They were prompt and came at the scheduled time. And when we got the container back, everything inside had not shifted and was in good condition.

    I'd recommend PODS. Using them was convenient and didn’t require a lot of time and effort on our part other than filling up the container. The cost was also comparable to moving something into a storage location. Plus, it was nice not to have to rent a truck or take loads of stuff over in the van.

And when I called them, the price was reasonable so I went with them. I booked over the phone and their rep was great. When I told him what I wanted, he got on Google to look at my land to see if he can see my house, and he was able to. He then advised me on what size I needed and if I could get it in my driveway. He was very friendly and very informative. And then, I made the reservation for a 16-foot and we put a lot of furniture in there.

    The whole experience with PODS was perfect. There were two things though that we did not like. I specifically said where I wanted them to place the pod. Their rep noted it while the rep had my house up on his screen but their crew did not place it there. I had to call them and tell them to come and pick it up and put it where I wanted it. And then, when they originally came to drop off the pod, they came a day early, which was fine. It was a good thing I had thought to ask because I had already read the contract before they delivered it so I already knew what the contract said. But bringing the pod a day early meant that they would be picking it up a day early. And if I didn't ask, expecting them to come on the day that we had contracted for them to bring it, I would have been charged more. Other than that, everything else went so well. It was just those two little glitches that were a bit of a problem.

    Nonetheless, their customer service team was great. Originally, the rep came and dropped it off at the corner of my driveway because there was so much that goes into them delivering those pods. But when I called to ask him to move it and put it where I wanted it, I sat and watched from the window and he was very meticulous. He did not skip any steps, he looked everywhere, he checked traffic, he checked my driveway if it was going to fit and he was spot on in that way. They were easy to work with and I would definitely recommend them to a friend. I'd tell them to definitely get PODS, but if they call to bring it earlier, just make sure to change the pickup date.

    I got a 16-foot container from PODS, and it wasn’t brand new but at the end, it’s right. It’s fiberglass on the side. It has been freshly cleaned and was in good shape. I went online at first and then called because I wanted to get details and just did the booking over the phone. The PODS representative I spoke with was polite, told me what I could do with it and how to lock it. It was straightforward.

    When the driver came to pick the container up in California, he had it on so it would have faced the house and didn’t ride up against the door of the garage which would have made it hard to load. So I chipped in 20 bucks to take it down to a parking lot, flipped it around and he brought it back. I have a U-shaped driveway here in Texas and the POD driver said, “I’ll put it exactly where you want it” and he did. He put it right in front of our double gates so we could just open the double gates and take everything into the house.

    I used PODS both for moving and storage but for the storage service, I did it on our own property. I liked the convenience and PODS' price wasn’t bad. I’d recommend it. They even warned me that if I kept the POD past a specific date, I'd have to pay for another month. If I had kept it an extra day, I would have been charged for another 300 bucks but they warned me about it.

    I used PODS for storage at one location. First of all, they picked up the pod from one location, took it to another one, and get a third one, and then they moved my stuff from South Carolina to Colorado, where it was in the pod storage for probably two months, at least, and then they delivered the pod to my present location. PODS was recommended by friends and it was the best solution for my problem. I booked over the phone and the representatives were always very pleasant and cooperative. The service was fabulous and they were always accommodating for anything I needed, like cancel one thing and book another.

    I requested the biggest size PODS have and it was perfect. It actually could have even been a little bigger, but we managed to get everything in there and moved up, and all is well. All the drivers had to do was drop the pod off and pick it up, so we didn’t have much of an interaction, but they were friendly. The customer service level is superior and they did a really good job for me. I would recommend PODS to anyone who needs to move, and wants to do it more or less themselves.

    I had a friend that a few years back had used the pod and really liked it. When I needed one for moving, I remember that, went in, checked it out and scheduled it. I started booking online and then it went to over the phone because they were very gracious. They also called me like they said they would to confirm the time that they were going to do and just confirm what they were going to do, and they were very pleasant. I started out with the small container but I ended up with the 16. The size was correct, with a little extra space. It was in a very good condition, and what I really like about it was that it had a lot of hooks all over the place.

    They dropped off a pod and gave me three days to pack it, where I hired some helpers to help me pack it. I enjoyed talking to the fellows that dropped it off. They were very pleasant, and they were right on time. They said they were going to be here then, and they were there then. Once I had the helpers come and pack what I had packed, then I had another day. That was one of the reasons I liked it so well -- another day to put in some stuff that I had forgotten. They picked it up right on time, right on schedule, kept it for six days, and then they dropped it off up where I moved to Michigan from Tennessee, and, the same thing, it was right on time. They are very friendly and very efficient. I would never move again without calling PODS. I have already told several people how much I enjoyed it. Again, I would use it again in a second.

    We had used PODS with our last move and we liked the flexibility of not having to load everything into a truck or have everything loaded in one day. So, we were able to take our time with packing and unpacking. This time, we had the largest pod, a 16-foot dropped off at our house for moving. We loaded it up and then had it moved to our new house. We initially booked over the phone and then we changed our date of pickup online. Once we got it set up, we were able to log in and make adjustments if needed.

    Their customer service team did the scheduling of what we needed and when we wanted it. They told us it was the slower time of year so we didn't really have any issues with getting a pod or changing pickup times or anything. So, everything went really smoothly. The container was exactly what we needed. The website has the pod you would need based on how many bedrooms or rooms you had furniture for, and it seemed to be accurate. We got everything unpacked and then they picked the pod up. I would recommend PODS. It has worked well for us.

    My daughter was moving to Texas from California and we looked at the possibility of renting a truck, driving it and what that would involve. A regular moving company was out of the question but the price for PODS and the convenience of it was perfect for us. I initially did an online quote and then got phone calls and was able to do the booking over the phone. The price was a lot but at the same time, it was fair when we compared it to other options.

    The representative was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable in trying to figure out the sizes we needed. It was a very easy experience. We got the smallest container and it was clean and perfect. The drivers were excellent and professional. They came and we had them put the container in our driveway. Then, when we had it delivered to my daughter's, they were very accommodating as far as making sure that we met up with them on time and what worked for her.

    I needed both storage and transport of goods, and I liked that PODS' containers were constructed out of metal instead of wood. Their prices were pretty good and they have very good reviews as well. I booked over the phone and my experience with the representative was very positive, polite and easy. They only have two sizes for the container so I got the 16-foot one and I wish it had been a foot longer. We packed every inch of it but nothing's quite big enough when you need a tiny bit more space but not enough for a second pod. That aside, it was very well-constructed and clean.

    Both of the guys who came to drop off and pick up our pods were super nice and really good as well. In our first location, the container had to be parked in a really odd place and the guy was really good at getting it at exactly the right place and making sure that we could get to it. He even got it all the way up to the curve so it was easy to get in and out off. He was very helpful too. And then, the guy who came to pick up the pod was the same way. They were both wonderful.

    PODS is an excellent way to ship things especially across the country and when you don't know where you're going to be. They are able to pick up and store your goods for as long as you want in the warehouse, which is super convenient and also part of why we decided to use them. They had excellent customer service too. Everyone that I dealt with through the company was super helpful and very nice as well.

    We had an excellent experience with PODS. We had suggestions from two or three different people that had good experiences with them, and they were a bit less in cost. I looked it up and then called and talked to someone in person. The reps were very friendly and they told me exactly what the cost was, and they were very good online as well. I have an account with them and so I always knew what was going to be charged. They would give me invoices to show all the charges. And then when it got here, it had to be stored for two months until the house was ready. They stored it in an environmentally-controlled warehouse in Depew, New York and that was nice because we had some nice furniture and other things that could be damaged by the extreme cold.

    We used PODS for our house in Sparks, and we hired a crew that loaded them up and delivered them. We used to have bad storms for a couple of months, so our house was closed and was ready to be moved into after our work was done. PODS doesn't have crews themselves and they only have recommendations, people that either load or unload them. In Sparks, we hired a company that we've used to move to that house, and we probably should have gone with the PODS group because we had some damage to our furniture. The moving crew left things loose that shouldn’t have been.

    The PODS guys came with the podzilla, a machine that they bring out on a flatbed truck. It's a giant thing that hydraulically lowers the wheels and the truck goes out from underneath it, and they can then maneuver it by hand remote control, bring it right up the driveway and lower the POD wherever you want it. Here in this house, we have a basketball hoop that hangs over the driveway and they were worried about that. So they were really really careful because you had to move one way over underneath that and they did a great job and did no damage. I was impressed and it was fun to watch. That was the last dealing we had and they were really responsive. We emptied the pods, they came and picked them up and they were gone.

    We had to leave a few things behind because we didn’t need a third POD, but we couldn’t quite get everything in and part of that was because of the crew we had hired. They did not do a good job in loading one of the PODS, but we had no problem whatsoever with the PODS themselves. I'd advise others to get a good crew to load it and a good crew to unload it. But with everything else that went on and all the good interactions we had with PODS, I'd tell others to let PODS recommend a crew. Also, their website is really good when you have an account with them. Everything is right there, like when you're going to rebuild, what it's for and how much. Plus you can dispute anything, and we had insurance on everything. It's still expensive to move all the way across the country, but we saved some money and had a good experience in the process.

    I had good and bad experiences with PODS. When they came to get the furniture my experience was excellent. But when they brought back the pod they brought me back an empty pod instead of my furniture. I feel like that driver that had made a mistake because once he read his piece of paper, he realized that he wasn't supposed to give me an empty container. He blamed it on where it was at on the piece of paper and he said he'd be back in an hour. And I said, "I don't think so because you're going to have to go to Earth City." And he says, "Well, I'll take care of it." And I could handle the mistake but it was five hours before somebody told me, for sure, that they were going to deliver my pod.

    I kept thinking that they would be telling me sooner. And I called and their representatives were excellent. They tried to get an answer for me and they couldn't get an answer for me. However, they said that the main guy that normally controls the place where the storage of the pods are kept, was not there for several days because of an automobile accident his wife and child was in so I'm assuming that might have something to do being as efficient as they seemed to have been. Whoever was taking his place might have been overwhelmed and I can understand that.

    I called twice because I had movers coming the next. I had to know for sure if I was going to get my proper pod that day. They had plenty of furniture pads on all my furniture but when they took the pad off of the one hexagon end table there was a busted corner and I managed to save the pieces. The movers were right there. They said this had to have happened while it was in storage. When they're moving stuff around, that they're rough. All I know was it was intact when it was wrapped up. So I put it a claim and then the PODS people said it wasn't their fault. I was disappointed in the fact that they weren't going to do anything for me on the furniture. But I would still recommend PODS and the movers were PODS recommended and they were excellent as far as I was concerned.

I had a leave of absence from my job in Tennessee and came out to take care of my grandson for three months. I didn't want to have to go back to move if I had decided to stay in Texas, and I did decide to stay. So, it worked out well. The very first call that I made with PODS, they gave me one way move for one pod and I needed two pods. And so, I was under the understanding that it was gonna cost me about half of what it ended up doing. When I called back when it was time to do the ordering, I was a surprised and frustrated because doubling the moving cost was really not in my budget. But I did understand that it might have been just a misunderstanding or miscommunication to that person. But for some reason, when I was gathering information, that first quote was totally incorrect.

    The container I received was clean, however, there were a few wet spots on the floor. I was concerned about it seeping up into or leaking into my boxes. But I just put plastic down when I put my stuff in to alleviate that. And when I called them they said, “Well, that was because they are washed out and it hadn't quite dried." So, it worked out fine. My stuff was in the PODS for more time than I originally thought of. I thought it was going to be three to four months and it ended up being seven months. The drivers were very pleasant and let me watch and explain what they were doing. However, the price had gone up once I had it transported.

    The gentleman who picked it up was nice. He introduced himself and told me how it was gonna work and it absolutely amazed me. He was probably there for a total of five minutes. He picked it up very fast. It was neat to watch. He was extremely friendly and very professional and did a great job. I would highly recommend them. They’ll meet all expectations. And I would certainly use them again.

    I have a lease for temporary storage of a container located in California. My monthly billing statement contains a line item for "Tax". The tax is computed at about 8%. I am not purchasing the container nor the site of its storage. During the past 3 years I have been charged, and have paid, over Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) in tax. According to the CA Board of Equalization, the company is precluded from charging and collecting such a tax under my lease in accordance with CalBOE Regulation 1660, Article 15. PODS has refused to return my money; and has encouraged me to file a complaint with the CalBOE.

    I used PODS about a month and a half ago. We had them provide an empty pod for a month while we were doing some interior work on our home. Then the pod remained in our driveway. I booked online and it was a straightforward process. When we opened and rolled the door up the container was clean and dry which were my two main concerns. I like the translucency of the side panels and the roof. And the weather was cold but I felt secure that the contents which was mostly furniture would be dry and safe.

    I got notification of delivery timetable. However, we had some snow and it doesn't take much snow in Nashville to affect everything. So that caused the rescheduling of the delivery which didn't present a problem. And the window for delivery was completely accurate. I was very pleased with the delivery and the driver placement of the pod in our driveway.

    The driver who picked up the container was very good. We have to have our house full at that time and he was very efficient in getting the pod out of the driveway. And he was on his way. If I have a similar project in the future I would use PODS again. Recently, I thought we would be able to store all of our furniture which is a downstairs project so we needed to get all the furniture out at the first floor of the house. And it would not all stood upstairs. So based on my wife's concerns, I said, “Let's get a pod in. Give ourselves peace of mind.” And that's exactly what happened. I would do it again without any reservation or concern.

    I shopped around to see all the options for storage or moving companies and I was driving back from Wickenburg when I saw a couple of POD trucks along the road. So, I called 'em up to see what they could do for me and they were in the ballpark price-wise. They are also able to deliver quickly. I gave them a shot with the first one and then went back for a second, and now, I'm on the third. I booked the first pod online while I did the other two over the phone. The representatives on the phone were courteous, friendly, helpful, and answered every question that I had. They were somewhat funny, which I enjoyed. All three containers are 16-footers.

    A gal named Dora was the driver who dropped the containers off and she picked up two out of three. She was absolutely wonderful and we even called her boss to say that she's doing a great job. I was delighted to see when container number three showed up and she was the driver. That container was transported from Bonney Lake, Washington to Wickenburg, Arizona. The two containers have already gotten there, were unpacked and I used one of their suggested servers or people on the other end to help unload. Today, the fellow who picked up the third container wasn't Dora but was as affable, friendly and helpful as she was. Although, she was a better driver. Then on the other end, there were different drivers each time, but they did a great job. All in all, I am totally satisfied with the price, the service, and everything with PODS. I have recommended several times already.

The containers are used frequently, but I was amazed quite frankly with how good a shape they’re in. So, we were very pleased with that.

    The drivers were also great both during delivery and pick up of the pod. It was fascinating to watch them do it, which was our favorite part. Once they picked the pod up from Miami, they stored it on Ocala till we needed it. We gave them a call a few days ahead and they delivered it in Gainesville when we asked them.

    I moved from Kansas City to Raleigh and my new house wasn’t picked out yet so I had to use PODS' storage near Raleigh at least for a couple of months. I like the size of their POD. They had a bigger POD option and I got the 16 foot one. I felt horrible because I called originally and there were some discrepancies with what my order was. I ordered one originally, called back and got a second one. And then, I ended up canceling that and I went back online to place an order. I could have packed the POD a little better and got a smaller one but what I got was the right size. The POD had a typical wear and tear for moves and storing a bunch of different people’s things but, it wasn’t bad.

    The first driver was very cordial and kind. He called me, gave me a heads up that he was coming and the drop off was great. And then, when my POD was delivered at my house here in Raleigh after the move, the driver had to deal with a lot of different things. There wasn’t available parking like it should have been. My neighbor was encroaching my parking spot so he had to park it on a side street. But we got it worked out and then he dropped it off and left. I’d definitely recommend PODS.

It's easier to get trucks in and out on some of the spaces where we need the pod delivered instead of having a truck back up and slide it all the way back off the bed of the truck. Pods have a better maneuverability in a parking lot. When I order, I call Travis and I send him an email with the location, delivery date and a placement map. He then does it all from there. Everything has been working out really great and I have no complaints with them. I'm not there for the pickup and the delivery but when the drivers call for directions, I talk to them.

    Everything went smoothly with PODS. The only problem we had was that they mislabeled our pod unit's number initially when they moved it into storage and it was marked as being in the wrong storage facility. So, that was a headache for several months. Every time I called to access my pod unit, they had to locate it and it was a real pain in the neck because I knew where it was. It was located where it was supposed to be, but their records showed that it was in another town. I kept asking for the record to be remedied and they kept saying that they would fix that mislabeling in their records. They eventually fixed it, but it was at least six months before it got fixed. The pod unit itself was kept in a facility that kept everything in good condition. So, when we finally got it delivered, our stuff was not damaged. There was a little bit of dirt and dust because it had been in there so long, but overall everything was in good shape.

My son’s company moved in and he used PODS and said it was a good experience, too. I used two 16-foot pods to move from North Carolina to Maryland, but I needed a third one. That was one problem I had because when I talked to the consultant, she said, “You’ll need a 16 and an eight.” And when I started packing I said, “This ain't going to work” so I ordered a second, opted to a 16 and then, in the end, I just have too much stuff. I ended up using two U-Haul trailers too so I needed another container, but that’s my problem that I just did not know how to estimate it well.

    Nevertheless, the containers were clean and there was stuff to use to tie down stuff. The movers that I had were pretty crappy though, but that wasn't through PODS. I didn’t have any problem with the PODS except that they didn’t pack it right and I almost never get into one of them. But, other than that, the pod was fine. Their drivers put them exactly where I wanted them, and everybody was polite. They were here when they said they would be. I didn’t have any problem at all. If I were to move again, I’d use it again.

I couldn’t bring stuff that was dangerous like the air compressor and gasoline. I had a lot of pictures that I left on the wall and some industrial sized shelves. Nevertheless, it was okay because I left those stuff with my son who was buying the house. So, it still worked for me.

    However, the container was flimsier than I thought on the top. There was only like a translucent plastic, but I guess they stack them so it does not matter. Then there was a stain on the wood probably from grease. But, everything else was fine, and everything arrived safely. They were very positive, and they met my needs. If you want to make your move easier, go with them. You do not have to drive a giant truck across the country -- I went through a snowstorm too, and I was so glad I did not have to worry about that.

    I like the convenience of using PODS. It was easy for them to pick the pod in storage and take it to my new place when I needed it. Their drivers were really professional. As a matter of fact, one of the drivers told me the fastest way to offload and he did everything. When I put my online request, I have the pods facing the wrong way. So he did the right thing and when we got to the house, he explained to me why he did it that way. They were great. They sat down and explained how they did things because I’ve never seen them done it before. They took their time to show us how easy it works. My experience was great. They told me where they were going to deliver them and they did. They came and picked them up with no problem. And when I told them I needed them delivered, they came and they told me when and it was there. My neighbors across the street, once they saw I had them, went and got some pods too.

    I was moving and was trying to do an auction in my house, so I kept the things that I wanted and sold those that I didn’t. I had to keep them separate and I remembered that I've used PODS before. I liked their process then so I booked with them again online. It was easy and their website showed where I wanted to go. Then I made sure that I was there when the pod was being delivered to make sure that everybody was on the right page. We got the 16-feet container exactly where I wanted it. I filled it up and everything came through. The only thing I would recommend as far as doing it again is that they have to make sure that they have plenty of help because if they don't, I would make sure they would hire the help they offer because I found out that they need a lot of help at the start.

    It was an unusual situation and there was so much to move at once that I needed to get a whole bunch of stuff packed ahead of time. So, I decided to utilize PODS' product -- everybody knows about them. I'm still moving today but it worked great for me best. I got a brand new single car garage, a 10x12. I could have used two or three of them since I felt like our stuff were forced. The driver was outstanding on both occasions. PODS is convenient. Don’t waste your time. Avail it now.

    We needed to move out of state. A few of our friends used PODS, so we decided to use them instead of a moving company. I tried booking two times and I changed my mind on one of them and I only got one pod. Then I realized I needed two. I called back and they said, “Okay. No problem.” We got the two pods and it worked out great. The containers were perfect. They arrived like I wanted and everything was nice.
