    I used PODS for moving and storage. I spoke with their rep over the phone and he communicated very well. He broke down the process and told me how everything was going to work since they will drop the pod off. I needed to load it, pick it up and they were going to store it in a different state. Then, it needed to be dropped off and picked up empty. He also gave a good price and it was ultimately what got me. There were no hidden charges too and I felt comfortable after the initial call.

    I got the biggest container they had, however, I wish they had something a little bigger because I also had to rent a truck. I tried to get the things into one container and it just didn't work. But the guy who dropped the container off in my new location was polite. He called when he was on his way and showed up when he said he would. He dropped off my stuff and none of it was broken. That went from New York to Pennsylvania. Everything was just as they said so I was very happy with them. It was a great experience.

    It was easy and convenient with PODS. We had a 20-day closing and PODS was able to get to us quickly. We had them deliver a storage unit to our old house and then pick it up and send to our new house. We booked them online where we just put in our preferred dates and time. Also, the website was user-friendly and everything was clearly labeled. The container we requested came in great shape and was suitable for our needs. The drivers were very friendly as well. They would call when they were on their way, usually about 30 minutes out, and then ask for any clarification of where we wanted to put the container. I would recommend PODS.

    For our move, PODS offered what we were looking for and they were easy to work with. I started booking the pod unit online and concluded the transaction by phone. The reps that I spoke with were excellent. We used the 16-foot container and it was perfect for our moving needs, and there was no problem with water leaking through it. They dropped the pod off and we filled it up. Then they moved and dropped it off at the other location and we unloaded it, and then they took it. The drivers that did the pickup and drop-off were both fine. The only thing, though, was that the PODS website could have been easier to deal with. It didn’t have information easily accessible on the current status of our move when we were going through it and I had to make a few phone calls to get updates on the status. But other than that, everything went fine with our move.

    The PODS personnel who answered the phone was very professional and everything was explained in thorough detail. I felt better about some of the answers I got and one of the things that struck me was that I felt like my items were going to be protected. We’re in the middle of monsoon season and the explanation they gave me about the type of protection their containers have made me feel better. The other company was less professional on the phone and that bothered me. I don't always go with the cheapest option and I booked PODS over the phone for pod drop-off, pickup, and move. However, I had to change the container from 8x16 to 8x12 because I moved to a much smaller home and that’s all the room I had.

    Their reps reached out to me to let me know the window of time. The drivers also reached out to me to let me know they were on their way. He was really nice and very professional. I met him outside and he talked to me about where exactly I wanted it. He explained exactly how it worked and how he would make sure he didn’t hit the house. He was really good.

    Unfortunately, we had an active crime scene the day they tried to drop it off at my new house. Their office called immediately and let me know that the driver was around the corner, but he couldn’t get in because of the SWAT situation. SWAT teams were literally in front of my house and the driver was not really sure what to do but he needed to keep moving and he couldn't get through. So I walked down the street with my hands in the air and talked to the cop. He pulled up to me and said they were going to let him through. Other than that, everything was done in a timely manner. I was billed when they said they were going to and the charges were what I expected. It was a great experience overall. I would use them again and I would recommend them.

    I needed PODS for short-term storage, about a month. I knew I did not have a house to move to, so there was going to be a need for a storage and I didn’t want to move stuff twice. I had the 16-foot container and couldn’t have done with any smaller. I still had to run a trailer and haul some stuff but had no problem with the pod. The rep I spoke with on the phone was good. He did everything he said he was going to do. I moved at a time when they were busy so it took them an extra day to come and pick up the empty pod. It was over a holiday, 4th of July, so we understood. The drivers for the delivery and pick up of the pods were both very nice and courteous. I enjoyed watching their hardware work. Once everything was said and done, we were pretty good. I would do business with them again if I needed to and I would recommend them.

    I had a pod that was a 8 by 8 by 16 for storage from PODS. I booked it over the phone and their rep was excellent and friendly. They went the extra mile to give me the information I needed. The container had a wood inner frame with tie up supports throughout it and plastic ceiling that was leak-free. It was also clean and in good condition. I had three different drivers and every single one of them was outstanding. They showed up when they said they were going to, picked up the container, dropped it off and each time, they were right on time. They also have great customer service. Every need that I had was taken care of and answered. I'd recommend PODS to anybody.

    PODS is a very good company. We could load the pod ourselves, which was very easy and we could do it at our time. We used both their storage and moving services, and I booked over the phone and the experience was excellent. The representative told me when they were going to pick up the pod and when they were going to drop it off. And we kept it for about two months for storage. The pod we got was packed since I did not order the biggest one, but we didn’t have one thing that was broken out of it. I thoroughly liked everything they did and I would highly recommend them.

    Somebody broke into the pod when it was on the street the first night. The people on the 800 number was awesome. They answered my questions, and they also took care of the problem. They had to come and replace the locking mechanism on the pod. Fortunately, we hadn’t packed anything yet so we didn’t lose anything. They know what they’re doing, and they were on time when they said they were going to come and pick up the pod. The times I’ve had to go and get access to it has worked out great. It’s been all set up right for me because I had emptied it a couple of times. In the end, I switched from the biggest unit to a smaller one because I didn’t need the big one anymore.

    However, I have run into a little bit of a problem when I called the local people to make arrangements to have the big pod switched. They told me that there weren’t any available and wouldn’t be for a couple of months. So I called the toll-free number and they said they have plenty of smaller pods available. So, that’s just the case of an individual giving me a bit of problem but not the company. The pod that was sent to me was perfectly clean. Whoever came up with the pods was really smart, especially by making the top opaque but white so that light shines in when you’re working in there. It’s nice that there’s a rail down the sides so if you got things that could possibly fall over, you can anchor stuff with bungee. It’s also nice that the door goes right up and it’s not swinging doors that might bash you in the wind.

    Overall, it’s just like having your own personal little garage and garages are rare in Hawaii. And some stuff are really heavy, so it’s nice to just hand chuck them to the pod instead of loading up a truck, driving it somewhere, unloading it again and go there when they’re open. You never have to deal with other people using elevators. It’s a really good time-saver because you just have to pack it once. And for me, anything that saves time and energy is the biggest deal. They are also cheaper than purchasing or renting a storage unit in one of those of self-serve places. The convenience is excellent because they’ll bring it to the house. You just have to load it and then they take it away. I’ve recommended PODS to three other people that have moved that I know.

    I got the services of PODS for moving and storage. The convenience of having them deliver the pod unit to the area was why I chose PODS. Instead of going to Store It All, where I had to rent a unit and then move my stuff myself, with PODS they can deliver the pod and then I can have them move it at my own convenience. Booking the pod online was very easy, convenient, and secure. The only thing was that the different types of storage units were all the same price and I didn’t understand that.

    Other than that, the pod was easy to use and extremely clean. I got the 16-foot by 32-foot container, which ended up being the perfect size for what I needed. I was surprised with the eyehooks and some lines inside that you could use if you wanted to tie your stuff down to make them more secure. The driver was amazing, nice, and very knowledgeable about the mechanics of the system, and he did everything that was ever asked without question, such as requests to adjust the positioning of the container.

    I had some follow-up appointments with customer service because after I had moved the pod to a place, I thought I could do another move, but instead that was my final pickup. The process is very simple. If I want to move the pod again, I would have to put in a new request order for it. The container that I got was what I expected for a storage unit. Nothing was damaged and everything was okay in moving. I couldn’t expect anything better from PODS and I would recommend to other people to use a pod container.

    My daughter had a pod when she moved and I love the idea that they could just bring it to my house. I am single, I’m moving all by myself. With PODS, I could fill the container in my place. After I booked it online, I called to confirm with our local one to make sure that everything was on track and I ended up always talking to the person here from them on. Andie was a great gal. I had PODS deliver a pod, store it, redeliver and pick it up. I moved but I needed it stored from February to July. I got the 16-foot pod and it was huge. It was clean and it was big enough to put all my stuff in. I still had a few things that I had to store somewhere else so it worked out perfectly.

    When my POD was supposed to be delivered, there was a blizzard that was supposed to hit that day and they called me and said they're going to bring it a couple of days early. They weren't going to charge me anything more, just the idea of getting it to me because I had to move blizzard or no blizzard. So they did that which was awesome. When the time came to pick it up, they couldn’t even Google map my place because I'm in a new subdivision. I wanted to make sure that when I got it picked up, I wasn’t charged for another month because my house wasn’t done yet. I met the timeframe and I didn’t get charged.

    Also, everything was good during the move. Nothing was broken including my TVs and computer which I was concerned about. The only thing I wondered about for my bill was I was also supposed to get a free pickup or a free delivery but it was automatic payment on my credit card so it made me wonder if I got a free something. Other than that, I would use PODS again and recommend them.

    PODS moved me from New York to North Carolina. I used them before. I'm a USAA member plus I'm retired military so we have PODS on our site and I got a real discount They're great. I knew I was buying new furniture when I got North Carolina and I got one of their large pods. The one they brought up was brand new. I loaded it up, maybe three-quarters full, and they picked it up. I hired a couple of locals that also moved here. The pod was picked it up then was moved down for storage here in North Carolina. When the new house was ready, I had PODS drop it off and everything was smooth. The people were personable, they were right on time when they said they would be, and were efficient and quick. The drivers that showed up were really nice and friendly too.

    I'd strongly recommend PODS especially for folks who have a little bit of knowledge about moving and packing. On the PODS website, it tells you to call a number. I ordered some moving supplies, packing tape, boxes, moving blankets, tie down and shrink wrap. It's kind of one stop shop. It was really good and cheaper than Lowe's or Home Depot where I get a 10% being retired military.

    I hired PODS to move my belongings from Nashville, TN to Kansas City, MO. Everything on the Nashville end of things went smoothly and as anticipated. I felt good about my decision to used PODS. Then the experience began to unravel. I received an email notifying me that delivery was going to 3 days late. I contacted PODS online representative and asked if I would have 3 additional days to unload, because of the delay in delivery. This courtesy was denied to me. Still, I could work around this. The worst was yet to come.

    My POD was not delivered to the address I requested. The driver upon arriving at my residence stated that trees around the driveway prevented him from dropping the POD. He then returned my POD to the PODS storage facility located approximately 15 miles from my new home. I then had to rent a 16' U-Haul truck and unload the POD at the PODS facility. I then had to load the 16' U-Haul truck with the contents of my POD and deliver them myself to my new home. I managed to back the 16' truck into the driveway without incident. Where I had to unload them and bring them into my home. Because the driver refused to deliver, I was left to essentially, do the job twice.

    I paid PODS $1957.21, in advance of the arranged delivery. I want to restate that the PODS office is approximately 15 miles away from my new address. I feel that before accepting a $2000 contract that PODS should have had a member of their staff examine the property to insure that the POD was in fact deliverable. The member of the reservation team who took my reservation consulted google earth and stated there would be "no problem" with delivery. Folks, there was a problem. I paid $175.99 for the rental of the 16' U-Haul truck and feel this amount should be refunded me. In addition I feel that another $500.00 should be refunded due to inconvenience and the fact that I was left to move my home twice because the driver was unable/unwilling to drop the POD at my home.

    I came across PODS on the web and we went with them for moving and storage. We live in a remote area so some of the other companies aren't available up here. We had PODS drop a pod unit off here and wait to load it, then they picked it up and stored it, and then we had it delivered to Bakersfield. I started out trying to book with them online but I couldn't do that because of where we live, so the booking wound up being done over the phone. We got a 16-foot container that had tie downs and was really nice. It was the largest container they had, but I could have used a bigger one because I had no room to handle two units since we live on a hill. But the container we got worked out because we didn't have the whole house to move since we had already moved a lot of our things on our own with my two trailers.

    The PODS reps were nice, but at one point they got the date screwed up. So, I went online to verify what they'd done and got the schedule corrected before it became an issue. After this mess-up with the dates, however, everything was fine. The moving of our container was all smooth and everything went on schedule. Both of the drivers were excellent and courteous. They accommodated all of our requirements and needs, and one driver actually helped us out with our time schedule as PODS scheduled to deliver the unit in the afternoon and they wanted to pick it up first thing in the morning. We had a couple of movers come in to unload the unit and I explained the situation to the driver, so he rerouted and stalled the next day to accommodate us. The drivers made the whole experience worthwhile and we had a very good experience with PODS overall.

    PODS gave me a military discount for a storage service. I started booking the service online and then I finished it over the phone.

It was $159 a month and I had to pay for the container to be delivered but I don’t think I had to pay for it to be picked up. Things were a little fishy with her.

    Although the biggest container that I requested was sturdy and clean, it leaked a little bit but I’m glad nothing of mine got ruined or I’d be very upset. It was also very confusing because I called to have the container picked up. They said they’d be here the next day. The next day came and nobody was here. I called and asked why nobody came to pick up and they said if you call after a certain time, they don’t pick it up. And it took three days after they could pick it up.

The pod unit we got was secure and did not have water, and everything was fine with it.

    We had a little hiccup when the driver dropped off the pod on a Friday and PODS was there on Saturday to pick it up when it was still moving. I didn't give them a pickup date, nor did my nephew who didn't have time to do it, but the rep said somebody had put a pickup date down. The rep I spoke to tried to make the pickup date right and got it almost good, but not quite good. The Fourth of July came and they wanted to finish what they were working on before picking up the pod, so we had to wait for the next available date for pickup. Other than that, everything was perfect and they did an excellent job overall for the amount of time that we had the stuff in storage.

    We had summer camp and PODS provided storage service for our materials that were at an off-site location. We've used them in the past for different events. We booked online, and the experience has been simple and painless. There was adequate information in order to inform PODS where I wanted the specific pod located. Originally, I wanted a smaller container, but when dealing with 75 plus kids, all the summer camp equipment and lost and found items, their 12-foot pod definitely was adequate enough for what we needed.

    The pod itself was clean and there were no holes or damage to the pod when it was delivered. So everything was perfect. When it was dropped off, the driver called me. I didn't pick up the first time, but he called me two or three more times to make sure that he got in contact with me and let me know specifically that it was delivered. When I went in to make the payment for the pod or to leave feedback, it's always been a pleasant experience with their reps.

    We used PODS for their moving services. I tend to go to the brands that I know and they were the one that I was most familiar with. I've also seen their pods around, where the people have put stuff in them and they looked high quality. I called in to book the service because there were questions I wanted to ask. The customer service reps were very nice and helpful. I got the largest size pod. And then, down the road, I thought about getting another small one. And so, I called back and I could never get an answer on what it would cost me. I get people telling me their computers are not working and everything's down and all kinds of problems, and they’d call back but they never did. So, that was very bad follow through.

    And then, it was weird that I got an email from them telling me that my pod would be delivered the next day and it’s going to be emptied. I don't have a pod that was supposed to be delivered. So, I called them back and they said they don't have any idea. But the actual driver was terrific. He was extremely professional, a very nice guy, and he really knew what he was doing. In fact, when the pod was delivered, they had to put the pod and the thing back and he took it out to the street. He spent a lot of time taking and turning it around so that it was usable for me. I recommend him highly.

    My mom and I were in the process of moving so we both used PODS' services. I like the services they offer and I did the booking online, then I called to make sure. The reps were extremely helpful and although there was one small issue, that was resolved quickly. I got the 7-foot pod and my mom got the 16-foot one. For me, it was the perfect size, but my mom didn't calculate and hers was a little too big. She thought she had much more stuff than I did but that wasn’t the case.

    The pod was just a basic container but it does the job and it was clean. I put my own lock on there and I kept mine out in the driveway for three weeks. It’s so much more convenient. I was able to take my time and see what I need and what I don't and throw those away. Whereas when you’re in a rush, you just take everything because that’s what you always do, even when you've never really used the stuff in the last 20 years. That’s what I like about the pod. Plus I didn't have to worry about people not lifting my furniture properly or scratching it.

    The drivers were also professional and on time. The first guy went out of his way for me. I told him I had an issue because I could not stay at the condo because they gave me a limited time and he was not supposed to pick up my container but he looked at his schedule. Then he called me a few hours later to say he was coming back my way. He called his manager who said he could pick it up and it was wonderful. My moving experience was great because it was on my own time, plus everything was really smooth. There was only one misunderstanding but someone called me the next morning and it was fixed.

    In 2008 we moved temporarily from Kansas to Texas. We ordered two pods which were delivered and picked up on time, so far great service. In 2009 we moved back to Kansas. Our two pods had remained in their storage facility north of DFW the entire time. When we opened the containers, mice (about 5) scampered out, and we found a half dozen dead mice in each container. We immediately called Pods to report the incident. We took pictures of every damaged item. We followed their instructions and were told we would be taken care of. They were very nice about it all at first. I am a historian and have hundreds of books. At least 150 books had been chewed on, crapped on and destroyed by the mice. In addition three couches were also crapped on and chewed up, along with bedding, household items, an expensive sewing machine was filled with mice crap and urine. Nearly 30% of our goods were destroyed by mice crap, urine and chewed up.

    We had several persons from our church who had loaded and unloaded these two pods. We sent dozens of pictures to PODS and an estimate of the damage, about $9,000 to $10,000 total. After doing all this, and we had taken out full insurance covered offered by PODS, they told us that the insurance only covered damage to the pod itself and not its contents. Despite all their so called help and assurances that they would pay us for our damaged goods, it was just a ruse, they had no intention of owning up to the fact that our goods were destroyed in their storage facility which we paid for every month to have our things stored inside their facility.

    Every time I see a PODS container in the neighborhood I tell the people what happened to us and to be certain that their goods are covered. PODS said that our homeowners insurance should pay for the damages! Our insurance company said that was totally wrong. We never received any further communication about this matter from PODS. I ended up throwing out dozens of my history books and our household items.

They called when they dropped off the pod, picked it up and delivered it, then picked it up again. The whole process was seamless. But I had problems getting the container unloaded as the time was expiring so I called them to reschedule the pickup. The next month has already started by then and they ended up charging me for an extra month even though they picked up the pod the day after.

    PODS is a great service and my experience was fantastic. It's a little expensive, but you get what you pay for. I got them for storage because there was going to be a lapse in time between the house was sold and when I was able to move in since I had renters in here and had to wait until school was out and then do a bunch of renovations. PODS' reps were informative. I ended up with two of the 16-footer pods and they weren't big enough, so I ended up filling a 17-foot truck after I was done and put that into a temporary storage down here. Then they brought them to my house and loaded them and have them picked up.

    I had used PODS before when I was putting flooring in here and needed a place to put stuff. We just brought a pod over and had it sitting in the driveway. The storage protected everything. It's so easy to load them because they're at ground level. It's just four inches off the ground and it's not going up a big ramp or a LiftGator. But, it would help if the pods are a little bigger and had a light in them.

    I book the pods over the phone and when I ordered the first one, I got it in a couple of days and that was fantastic. However, when you call in during the busy season, it takes almost a week to get them out there. But, the drivers came in the time they said they were supposed to. When they were bringing the second one here, they were supposed to pick up the first one. But, they came and dropped off the second one and took off. I had to call them back and say that they were supposed to pick up the first one too since I wanted it out of the driveway. They then came back and got it.

Overall, everybody was nice. My items were stored at one location and then were moved eight months before I actually took everything out and that all seemed to work smoothly.

My realtor suggested PODS because it was easy and much cheaper. Plus, she knows other people who have used them. We requested three of the large ones to begin with and then the helpers were saying we’re not going to fill up the big ones again so, we got a small one which was a mistake because we would have filled up the big one. We ended up having to get a small UL truck to finish it up. But we probably would have gone over on the third big pod too. My neighbors were happy I gave a lot of stuff away.

    The drivers were friendly and it was amazing how fast they were in and out of there. This is the first time they delivered one and my husband came in and said that the guy made it look so easy. The house we moved from had a very sloped driveway and we moved to a much smaller house on a little flat street so the second time around was less difficult. But they were great and as nice as they could be. Everything was picked up and delivered on time. And so, it was easy once you get past the whole stress of having to move.

    I cannot seem to get a straight answer on anything when I contact PODS. Every time I call I have to wait with annoying hold music to talk to someone only to be told they can't help me and I need to be transferred to another department to wait with annoying hold music again and be told they cant help me. It's like Dante's outer circle. They give you the runaround and no one follows up or actually cares about helping you. Every time I call I get a different answer on everything. I feel like I'm on a game show to measure the capacity of human frustration.

    In addition to wasting hours upon hours of my life with their hopelessly incompetent "Customer Service" team, my main beef with PODS is a financial one. HOLY HIDDEN CHARGES BATMAN. When quoted the amount it would cost for my cross country move they quoted me the pre-tax amount. They also failed to disclose that I would be charged 2, yes 2! Whole months of storage at $205 apiece for using the POD for 13 days, because the days spanned two different months and they don't prorate as a policy. I bet they don't. So I've now paid over $600 more than what I was quoted between the unmentioned tax and the 2 months (for 13 days) storage.

    They are now saying that they will not deliver the POD unless I pay an additional $180 delivery fee, also, never disclosed to me. (See a theme here?) I am moving to an urban city and have had to acquire special and expensive moving permits (That I had to go to City Hall for!) for my specific move dates and have hired movers on the most moving active day of the whole year. They essentially held my property hostage and said they just "won't show up" if I don't pay them the $180 fee (somehow not included in the $2400 I already paid to move the POD). That is extortion!!

    I think it is DISGRACEFUL to treat the customers that have chosen to do business with you in this way, gouging them, giving them the runaround and holding their property hostage. PODS is a disorganized, greedy corporation that doesn't care about their customers in the slightest. On top of the profound stress of a cross country move, I have this to deal with?!

On 8/27 the funds cleared my bank. I waited for the 3rd business day to make sure I gave the bank time to process. Called PODS 4th business day 8/30 to ask why the money hasn't been credited. They did not process my credit of $291 until 4 days later 8/28 and said it will be 3-5 business days from that date. I am trying to move and found a more cost effective way to move and you are holding my money making it very difficult for me to move. Not happy at all!!! To be clear the reps were very helpful and kind, but the company process is horrible.

    When I first started, PODS was the only company I knew about. I called them up and started with a sales rep. Their reps are great, helpful and they accommodate my schedule. This time, I needed some extra storage for my prom season and booked a 16-foot pod, the biggest they have. I would've liked to have a bigger one, but I'm in a retail store and I can't take up much more than a parking space. But it would be great if they had a big double decker. Also, they're starting to change over and make newer units which aren't quite as nice or as roomy as the older units. I like their wooden containers where it's a little bit lighter inside, but that's a long term thing for my needs.

    I was happy with PODS and I've always continued to use them every year for 10 years. I've known one driver from every year and the interaction has been very positive. I am very specific about where I like to have the pod, so I meet the drivers in the morning and to the best of their ability, they try to accommodate me on where I want the unit to be placed. They're also timely with deliveries. Overall, I had a great experience working with them and they should keep up the good work. I'll continue to be their customer.

    The initial drop-off and pick up went smoothly, but after that it was a total nightmare. My PODS was supposed to be delivered between 10:30am and 1:30pm - I waited all day long and the guy didn't arrive until 4pm. Then the driver said he couldn't get the PODS into the parking lot because there was a low tree limb blocking his way. (It wasn't really THAT low; I honestly think he could have cleared the limb if he tried but he wouldn't even try, despite my asking him to give it a go). Then I said we could drop it on the street instead. I stepped away for just a moment to call the landlord to make sure it was okay that we put the PODS on the street. In that moment the driver took off, and called me a few minutes later saying he would tell his boss at the warehouse to make a note to come back and try again tomorrow.

    I called PODS that night to confirm that a second delivery attempt would be made, and it's a good thing I did because evidently the driver never made any sort of note. "I don't know why the driver would have told you that," the customer service rep said, "he is not authorized to schedule redeliveries." So I scheduled it with her for the next day. Once again, the PODS was supposed to arrive between 10:30am and 1:30pm - again I waited all day and this time the driver showed up at around 3pm. (A different driver, thank God.) His name was Isaac. I explained to him what had transpired the previous day, and that it might be best to put the PODS on the street, but he said "No way, I can get it in that parking lot no problem."

    Clearly, the first driver was inexperienced, and did not know how to properly use the "Podzilla" mechanism, because Isaac got it into the lot easily. I really hope they don't try to charge me twice for the delivery fee, seeing as it was their driver's inexperience and hasty exit that necessitated the second attempt. Anyway, so Isaac leaves, having successfully dropped the PODS, and I am happy that I can finally unpack my stuff after two days of waiting (two days which I had to take off work, mind you). I go over to the PODS, open my padlocks, and try to open it but the door won't budge. It is completely jammed shut. I tried with all my strength for 20+ minutes to get the door open, even trying to pry it open with an iron bar, but it wouldn't budge.

    At this point I was angry, frustrated, and exhausted. I call PODS again, explain to them what happened, and ask if there is any way they can help. The customer service rep says all he can do is send a message to a guy named Kyle in the area and he *might* be able to come help me tonight. If not, it would be the next day. I was livid at this point. About an hour later my phone rings and it is Isaac. He must have gotten wind of the problem, and he said, "Don't worry, I'm gonna come get the door open for you." He showed up about fifteen minutes later, and it took me and Isaac about 20 minutes of wrangling with the iron bar to finally get the door open.

    When I opened the door, I was very upset to see that my coffee was broken, but oh well, at least we had gotten the PODS open at last. All this to say, that next time I will be using U-Haul and moving my stuff myself because I don't think I could survive another ordeal like this. The only reason I have even given one star in the rating is because Isaac was kind, helpful, highly-skilled, and went above and beyond to help me. (He was on his way home when he stopped to help me get the door open; he might have even clocked out already). Thank you, Isaac for your Herculean efforts and your "can-do" attitude - every other PODS driver I've encountered should take a few pages out of your book.

    We had sold our previous house and we were waiting on our house to be built. I asked people on Facebook if they had used PODS, what they felt about it and how it worked for them. The answers were all positive, which became a factor why I chose PODS. The price was a factor as well. I started to book them online, but I called because I had some questions. They then took care of the rest on the phone. Both experiences were great and the people on the phone, every time I called, were very helpful. They worked out the best deals for us and explained everything to us.

    We got a 16-foot container and it was great and right for our needs. We weren't there when the driver dropped off our container, but they dropped it off exactly where we wanted it. Same thing when it was picked up. When it was delivered to our new address, I interacted with one driver because I was there and it was perfect. Additionally, I called their customer service because I wanted to know if I was getting credited back with what we didn't use, and that also went well. The experience overall was convenient and it was perfect for moving on your own.

    We sold our house before we bought our new one so we had to rent out-of-state. For this particular move, PODS was the best and cheapest option. It was the perfect solution since other moving companies do not have storage units and I had to get and pay a separate company for the facility. So I called them to book the service. It had to be over the phone because it was an out-of-state move. Booking was fine, but I had an issue with the billing part since it wasn't predictable. Even though you knew how much it was going to cost at the end of the day, you never knew what was going to be taken out, when it was going to be taken out and why it was being taken out for that particular moment. I also got two pods for my brother and he got charged twice. It took him a couple of days just to get the money back into his account.

    The largest container PODS had was 16. I got two of them and I was fortunate to get metal ones. My brother got a metal one and a wood one. The rickety wood ones are worn out and PODS is already phasing them out. They don't hold up like a Conex box which can hold more, weight-wise. The Conex are good. I got my stuff tied down in it securely and was good to go. Also, the drivers were great. They’re the only ones you get to see in the whole process and they were all awesome. The trucks were really nice and maintained, but the equipment that lifts it was shoddy and was leaking all over the place. Overall I'm glad the move's over. I'm proud of my experience with PODS and I'd definitely recommend them.

    We rented a container from PODS to be in our driveway for about a month while we were cleaning out a damaged shed. We chose them because my neighbor was and still using one and I had seen the advertisement, done some research and liked the idea that it would just be right there on my driveway. I booked it online and requested for the largest one which was fantastic. It was clean and seemed to be well-maintained. The driver's courtesy and professionalism was incredible. He was the one who picked up the container and was careful not to cause any damage because it was a tight space. It's the driveway and the pod was on one side and our house was on the other.

    We’ve been with PODS for years and have booked with them online and over the phone. If you remember your password, online works good. But sometimes, talking to a person on the phone seems like they could see what the availability is and I could tell that they’re looking into their computer. We got the 16-foot container and it was fine. PODS' drivers had been nice. Kudos to them. PODS should give them some merit award. The guy who came to drop the container off was very knowledgeable and it was neat how the container was lifted up off the truck and moved into position. It was 103 degrees and the guy was doing all the stuff so I was very much amazed.

    However, when we were requesting for the container, PODS couldn’t find us on their computer. We were getting ready to sell our house so we put a bunch of stuff in storage. When they picked the pod up with all the stuff we had stored in there, somebody didn’t put it back in the computer that PODS had picked it up. We were anxious. I told the lady on the phone that we’ve been paying all the years so how could they not have it when they take out a deduction from my checking account every month.

    I got a supervisor on the phone and she was very helpful. She got back to me and reassured me that they found my pod. It was in the Venetia yard. Then when we had called, it was almost 4:00 in the afternoon and the owner of the yard there was already gone for the day so it was frustrating. But after that, everything was fine. We requested our container that had been in the storage area for over a year and a half, we emptied it out and had it returned to them. The container was a little dusty inside, but otherwise, it wasn't bad.

    I had used PODS twice and I felt good about the service that I got. With my recent experience, my situation was a little complicated so I had to both call and do an online reservation for moving and storing. I had to have a pick up, store it, and then deliver it at a later date. When you're online, it's not as tricky to see and pick them both and this one goes to that one. Then you have to call later and have it delivered to a new location which I don't know because I haven't found a house yet. In our case, our house was waiting to get ready, so we moved into a temporary place until the pod came. Until our house became available, then they had it delivered to the house. Everything went pretty smoothly.

    On the other hand, they bumped the neighbor's mailbox across the street. They had a brick mailbox and it's kind of set ajar a little bit. The neighbor gave me his name and number for PODS to contact him. PODS claims they called me a couple of times to get their number but I'm new to the neighborhood and I didn't know them. They were out of town when I first moved in. But overall, my service was good and they didn't mess up my mailbox. My things were safe and I'm also glad that they were in a controlled environment or had ventilation. The process was very simple, easy and convenient. They did a great job.

    We had to move quickly because somebody wanted to buy our home. My daughter and son-in-law in Arcadia had used PODS before when their home caught fire and they told me that I needed to call PODS because the company stores things in a secure storage facility. I contacted PODS in Sarasota and I booked with them over the phone because I needed somebody to walk me through what I needed. I’m really old and I was afraid that I might push the wrong button and probably get six units if I booked online. The rep I spoke with was absolutely great. He was very patient and gave me all kinds of options for movers. We have very valuable antiques and I was really concerned, but he told me that they would be fine in the pod. I called them back twice because my children had asked me questions that I forgot to ask them and everybody that I talked to there was great. We got two of their biggest containers.

    My husband was in the hospital in intensive care but I had a lot of help from family and friends in packing our stuff so PODS could move them. The containers were clean when they arrived and they were clean when they left. I was a little concerned because the containers only had locks on them but the PODS people told me that they were secure. The last two months before we got them, I was so afraid to get them. I thought they would probably have termites, bugs, and melted stuff, but there was nothing like that at all. We had quite a bit of interaction with the carrier drivers because our place is really hard to get on the GPS. They had to come over bumpy roads and down the long Shell Road to get here and deliver the containers to 540 acres in the middle of nowhere.

    I had to call Customer Service because we were charged for a whole month when we should have been charged for part of a month which was the agreement that we had with PODS, but I was told that the excess charge would be reimbursed. The rep was honest. I asked her, “If I hadn’t called, would that money be refunded?” She said their system is all computerized and digital, and when the information about the service goes to the billing department, the computer doesn’t recognize that the charge doesn’t have to be for a whole month. I said, “Well, shouldn’t you have taken care of that?” She said, “It’s not possible. You can’t tell a computer,” and she said they had no way of knowing. I said that might be an option that they may want to look into because, while I called, a lot of people might not call. Nevertheless, PODS has been great overall and I've already recommended them to a few other people.

    PODS had really good rates and they were available in the areas where I was and where I wanted to be. I also like the fact that the pods stayed level and how they handle the pods. When I tried to go online to do things, it was always a little bit confusing. Evidently, you can do some things online and you can’t do some things online. Trying to figure that out, I just went offline and called them up. I booked over the phone and it was fabulous. I talked to a woman in Florida and she was so helpful and had all the information for me. It was always a pleasure talking to the people that they had. The online thing just wasn't A1 but the people were and so I’d much rather call and talk to somebody. That way they can answer all my questions and I'm sure it actually did what I wanted it to do instead of punching a button.

    I told her the size of my house and that I wanted a container. I got the 8x16 and she told me that that they'll put another one on hold to be delivered later if I need it because it was before springtime then and the rates were low. Sure enough, I needed that other container and I called and had that delivered. The drivers were also all really nice and I appreciated them. I was someplace else when they came, dropped off, or picked up anything so they always called me and let me know what was going on. It was really nice and I was very happy with that.

    When I got the containers down here to Chattanooga and got them to the driveway, the door of one of them swung back and the other one rolled up. The one that rolled up, the contents had shifted and my dining room chairs had gotten stuck under a metal bar. It was on either side of the thing and I couldn’t get it open. I couldn’t even get my hand up there and it was packed so full you couldn’t push the chairs back so I ended up with several damaged dining room chairs because of this metal bar. If I had it to do again, I would insist on getting the ones with the swing-open doors and I wouldn’t encounter that again.

    I didn't call the customer service about it and just wrote it off as something that happens. And if it was the worst thing that happened then the move was highly successful. Before I left, I was recommending them right and left and I'm sure that they got quite a few jobs from me telling everybody my experience and how wonderful it was, as well as the price for moving across the country. People could not believe it and it was wonderful.

    I had both moving and storage services from PODS. We knew we were going to have our stuff in storage and I understood that PODS was in a climate-controlled warehouse. I booked over the phone and they were awesome. They were very clear and they took care of us. We got two 16-foot containers from them and those worked well and the size was perfect. We originally ordered three then decided that we were also going to get a storage unit so that we had super easy access to some of the things we wanted to get to. The carrier driver did a great job getting the containers where they needed to be as well. The pods were safe and everything came back to us in good shape. I recommend PODS. Everything was simple and easy.

    We moved from AZ back to MN and used a POD as it was less expensive than a moving company. We used United Van Lines on our move from MN to AZ and never had as much as a scratch! We hired PODS recommended movers to load the POD, and they did a great job. After it left the driveway, they either tossed the POD around like a rag doll, or, they dropped it! When it finally was delivered (that was another issue - we sat in an empty house because they didn't have enough drivers to make deliveries until they recruited some from the East Coast!), the company we hired to unload it couldn't believe the condition of the boxes!

    They had me go into the POD to take photos before they even unloaded them! We paid for $10,000 of insurance from pickup to delivery, but my guess is, based on the claim form, that we will not be well compensated as they will severely depreciate our items, some of which were heirlooms, and some things cannot be replaced!

    I was living in two places and I sold one house so I wanted to move what I wanted to keep to the other house. However, I didn’t want to mess with an estimated weight and then changing that so I thought I’ll just get a pod. I didn’t have a whole household to move and working with PODS seemed like a really simple way to do it. I originally booked over the phone but I had one bad experience with it. It wasn’t made very clear to me that the estimate could change if I didn’t book right then, and when I called back, it was $800 more. I was a little irritated at first and almost didn’t do it, but I thought it was the easiest way and so I went ahead.

    I ordered an 8x8x16 pod and it had been delivered before I got there. My son helped me pack it and he was good at that. I put the priority things in first but we totally filled it and there were a few things at the end that didn’t make it. The pod was picked up after I left, then it was delivered here in South Carolina while I was not here. But it went well and everything arrived in good shape. I would and have recommended PODS.

    I had PODS stored things, from my old apartment down in Grove City, at the facility. And then I had them delivered here in my apartment complex a few weeks ago. I booked them online and it couldn’t have been any simpler. PODS was totally transparent, so they explained the quote pricing. I got the 16-foot container. It was sturdy and well-protected. PODS was also excellent with communication. Whether they were coming to my old apartment or new place, they’d let me know the time frame they’re going to be here.

    Their drivers were conversationalists too. They were also friendly and efficient. They asked some questions and took their time. The one who brought the container to the old place was on time, awesome, and very nice. Because PODS is flexible, I could have the container for a few days before they came and got it. I loaded everything in and had some movers help me with it too. The container was packed to the hilt. Then, the container was taken down to the facility. The actual moving was awesome as well. The mover, who was a woman, did a great job. I don’t get to see women do a lot of this stuff and I like seeing women do men’s jobs. She was wonderful and I loved her.

    The most important thing was that everything was clean and dry when I got my things. There was little dust, but I expected that because it was stored for five years. There were china and glass in there, but since I’m also a good packer, nothing was broken, cracked, or chipped. PODS was awesome. I would use them again. I’d also recommend them to everybody I know.

    The driver who picked up the container was great. I was then living in a part of town where I wasn't comfortable having all of my stuff in a pods unit for very long, so I talked to him on the phone and asked if he could do the pickup on a Sunday, although that wasn't commonly done, but he said he’d be more than happy to do that for me. He made a special trip to pick the pods unit up for me and it was stored for over a year, then it was delivered to our new house this summer.

    I was moving to a place where I didn’t have a house, so I couldn’t use a regular moving van service because then I would have had to buy a storage place. PODS was easier and I had another friend who used the service for the same type of cross-country move and had a really good experience. I was there and saw them deliver and pick it up, so I felt good about it. I originally booked PODS on the phone and they came and delivered a pod that perfectly fit our needs. It was clean and I was a little concerned because it wasn't a strong metal side but when I saw how they lifted and moved it and that there wasn't a lot of dropping, I wasn’t worried. It seemed sturdy and they stored it for about four months and delivered it to my new home cross country.

    I called them to set up when they were going to drop off the pod in Indiana, and I had a problem with the website and my password, but they got that all taken care of very quickly. I wasn’t sure what date my monthly closing was so I wanted to make sure that I got the container there before that time because they told me I would get billed again if I didn’t. That worked out great and they got it all set up. The drivers were very nice and they made sure that they knew exactly where I wanted it put.

    The delivery and pickup of my container was seamless, however, once my POD left the East Coast for CA, all hell broke loose. PODS never called me to let me know that my POD was stuck in Las Vegas for numerous days and was not en route to my new home, and the reason it was stuck in Nevada was over a form that was required for me to sign THAT I SENT TO THEM 3 WEEKS PRIOR. When I arrive at my new home in CA, I call to schedule to re-delivery of my POD just to be informed it is stuck in Las Vegas. It then takes multiple days to even get to CA and then they do not have a delivery opening for over a week (it was already over 2 weeks late at this point). I filed a formal complaint and was waiting 5-7 business days for my customer representative to review my case and get back to me.

    2 months and NUMEROUS unanswered communications later, I still have not heard from said representative about my claim. Also, the company has been taking money from my account ($231.60 per month, this happened 3 times = $694.80) for storage and insurance on a POD that I moved out of two months ago. The lack of communication from this company to their customers is UNBELIEVABLE. Absolutely do not recommend.

    I liked what PODS offered and that it helped me not move more than once. I needed a pod to move my house and I didn't have a problem with their online booking process, which was straightforward. I got a 16-foot container that's clean, did all the stuff I needed, and held up against the weather. PODS stored the container then they moved it to my new place. All four of the drivers who dropped the container off and picked it up were very friendly, pleasant and professional. They had a window of time that they said they'd be there and they were within that window. Then PODS sent me a form saying I needed to fill it out. It was all about moving gypsy moths between states, of which seemed stupid since California and Nevada do not have either. But I filled out the paperwork and had to talk to them once about it. Also, PODS was a bit pricey but they met my needs and that made me happy. PODS is very convenient and worthwhile and I would recommend them.

    PODS was easy to do business with and we recommend them. PODS could put a unit onsite for whatever time we needed and then remove it once we’re done. We rented a pod to use as a storage on our property and booking online was easy. We called their customer service center to say that we would need the pod a little longer than expected and then we called them again to ask them to pick up the container. Everything went well and as promised.

I liked them. They also answer any questions I had and did a follow-up to see how everything went. I appreciated it. I requested their 16-foot container and it was weatherproof. I liked being able to load it ourselves too. The drivers did a very good job of placing the pod where I wanted it and they were able to take care of the driveway and the trees around the property so I was pleased with that.

    PODS is one of the better known companies and had the size that I really needed. I booked over the phone and the representative was helpful and explained everything to me. I got a 16 foot container and it was exceptionally clean. There were plenty of tie downs for the things that I needed them for. They delivered a pod, picked it up, took it from Wisconsin to Florida, and dropped it off again.

    I've never done a move before and PODS was very helpful, nice and polite. We signed up over the phone for a trailer and did it right at the house. I met them out there and told them where to put it. Then I had a whole month getting all I wanted out the door and certain ways I can load it. I took my time and it was nice and easy for us to do a room a day. Then we moved into our house and had the pod dropped off then they picked it up. They're always at the time window they said they'd drop off and pick up. Their drivers were great and they had a new delivery guy in training who was very friendly and the guy training him was really nice, too.

    PODS was all great but they could make a bigger pod. I should've gotten two PODS instead because I ended up getting a 10 x 10 U-Haul storage and I paid as much for that as I did for PODS. Then I also had to call them and switch cards because the payment wouldn't come through when they tried to get the bill. I didn't change my address on the credit card when I moved so I didn't know that happened. Other than that, it was the best move ever. Everything came back the same way and nothing broke. I was happy and I'd highly recommend them to everyone.

    I did the price comparison on moving and storage companies and it was super close then I decided the convenience of the pod was a better choice so I used PODS. I booked it online as I'm pretty tech-savvy so it was easy for me. I got the biggest container that they had. It was clean and constructed well, and I didn't feel like it was going to fall apart when they were unloading and loading the things. All the belongings except for a few things from the shed in the backyard fit. But we have a pickup truck as well so we just solved that problem with the pickup truck.

    We had a different guy for each pickup and delivery time and they were both pleasant to talk to. One of them even chatted up my dad that was there on the pickup day. The pod was moved timely and efficiently. The only problem with the pickup from the original location was that my driveway was a shared driveway. The driver had to ask the neighbor to move the car but the neighbor was pleasant about it and moved it out of the way until the guy was done. It's a good experience and I would recommend it to anybody else.

    PODS was a great company and I will definitely use them again. They were easy to work with and they handled my stuff with nothing but professionalism. I needed help with storage and transportation from the storage unit to my new house. PODS was very reasonably priced and I liked the fact that they could pick up my things and store them until the time being because I was in search for buying a new house which took a while. So, it was nice to have PODS store my belongings as long as I needed it to be. They also helped me find a moving company to help move my things.

    I booked PODS online the first time when I had them move the stuff out of my old place. The process was quick and easy. But since I already worked with them, I just had made a phone call the second time I booked them and did everything over the phone. Their reps were very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. If I had any questions, they were able to answer them on the phone instead of having to call me back. They were great at communicating. I got a 16-foot container and it’s the correct size for my belongings. It was very clean, too, and I felt that my belongings were safe inside it. Nothing was damaged when it arrived.

    The drivers from PODS were great as well. I had a tree limb that was giving us problems, but the driver was able to maneuver the truck around and was able to pick up the container. I was afraid for a second that he wasn’t able to drop the container, but he managed to figure it out. Moving was also very quick. PODS called within 30 minutes and they were there on time. The drivers explained where they were putting the container and they asked me where I wanted it. And then they dropped it off. It only took about 15 minutes to drop it off.

    I've used PODS twice now and I've had good experiences both times. During the first time that we used them, we were doing a renovation at the home and we had furniture and things that needed a place to go and that was where it went versus moving it to a storage unit up the road. It's nice to have everything right there and accessible. For the second time, PODS brought a pod to the house for us to use for a couple of months as we prepare to move from one home to another. And then, they picked it up when we were done filling it and moved it to our new home. There's no other storage company that does that, leave you a storage container to fill and then come back and get it two months later so you could take your time.

    I booked PODS online. It's very user-friendly and very intuitive. I requested a big container during the last time I booked since it was a four-bedroom house. It was definitely clean. It was placed exactly where I wanted it placed with the door facing the right way. The doors were easy to use. The mechanisms were also right on the amount of money. The drivers who picked up the container were so good that I didn’t need to be there. My husband was there for one of them but they always call before they show up. Also, they were accommodating when dealing on the phone. They listen, they didn't try to talk over me. I appreciate good customer service. It was a great experience from start to finish.

    My experience with PODS has been absolutely HORRIBLE from the get-go. I'm honestly counting down the minutes until I don't have to deal with them anymore. It began with the delivery of my POD: they tell you you don't have to be present during delivery... NEVER FALL FOR THAT. I came home from work on that delivery day, and my POD was NOT on my driveway as I instructed, but in FRONT OF MY NEIGHBOR'S DRIVEWAY ACROSS THE STREET. I called their Customer service line, and they weren't available as they function on Eastern Time and I'm on the west coast. My neighbor was livid, and couldn't get out of their driveway. I had to call the service line at 5:00 am the next morning to get someone out to move it. They didn't show up until about 9:00 am.

    As the driver was in process of moving the POD, his carelessness TOOK OUT half of my neighbor's tree in their front yard. He didn't care. Just dropped my POD off in my driveway and LEFT. I had to clean up the mess along with my angry neighbor. The chaos doesn't end there: PODS was supposed to pick up my POD the next day to take it to the storage facility and they DIDN'T. It took my old roommate 3 hours on the customer service line to convince them to come by to pick it up. Fast forward to today: I put in the details for my POD to be delivered for moving on a Friday and picked up on a Saturday. When I called to confirm, the Customer Service line claimed I never put in a pick up date, so the earliest they could pick it up was 5 DAYS LATER. Great.

    The cherry on top of all this was the fact that I get charged for a MONTH'S worth of rent even though my POD will be emptied and returned within the first 4 days of the next month's cycle. So! For 4 days of rent, I have to pay the WHOLE MONTH. Ridiculous. I can't wait until my POD is delivered and picked up so I NEVER have to deal with them again. Their Customer Service reps are lethargic and rude. Worst storage company, hands down.

    I was recommended to Pods by a family member. Of course while in the process of securing your services the customer service could not have been better. After that it was the worst ever. I had 2 pods with them. Picked up and stored for 6 weeks. I called to have my pods dropped off on June 28th. The day we were moving into our new home. My husband and myself are in our 50s and not in the best shape physically so we hired 5 guys at 100 dollars a piece to help us on move in day. The one pod was delivered as promised first thing in the morning on the 28th. We waited expecting the second pod to be dropped off and it never was. I called the next day to see why the other pod was not delivered and I was told that it wasn't set up yet. What??? I was asked did I state that I wanted them both delivered. I said no as I didn't know I even had to ask for all my stuff. So I guess Pods makes the assumption for you.

    Then I'm told that I can't get the second Pod until July 13th but as a courtesy, she pulled some strings and can get it on July 8th. What??? So in the meantime for 10 days we don't have dishes, clothes, furniture, beds. Oh did I mention that my 87 year old mother lives with us. It's a little inconvenient to wait 10 or 11 days in between getting our belongings. Never once did anyone ask if I only wanted 1 Pod. Nor was it mentioned that I would only get one. So now I've paid 500 dollars on the 28th to movers and had to pay an additional 500 on July 8th when you guys decided you bring the rest of my belongings. I've had an incident report opened since June 28th. I've called and left messages and sent emails to a Vanessa who is supposed to be investigating this but the only response I've ever gotten was a generic template email.

    Tried to reach Vanessa's supervisor today 31 days after the incident report has been filed, but no one can get a hold of her. No one even knows what office she works out of and of course I couldn't talk to her supervisor either. I've worked in customer service management position for over 20 years and if I ever ignored or disregarded a customer the way this has been done, I wouldn't have a job. This is the most unprofessional response I've ever seen from an established company. I will tell every person I know about this experience and recommend that no one use Pods services.

    I booked online for a PODS moving service but then I got confused and called because I was quoted a price and it wasn’t clear if that was just for one, two, three weeks or a whole month. The PODS representative cleared up any questions or doubts that I had. I requested for the largest container, enough for what I needed. At one point it was raining and a little bit of water got into it but other than that, the container was sturdy. The one who dropped off the container was great. He called saying he was on his way and will arrive in 15 minutes and he got here within 15 minutes!

    The pickup was the hardest because I needed to call in advance and they would let me know when they’ll pick it up. I stayed with the POD for almost two weeks on my driveway. I thought it was unnecessary for me to wait for two weeks. The pickup should be addressed or approached differently. I was done on the 27th and then I called in because I didn’t know I had to schedule the pickup. They told me that they could pick it up on the 12th or 13th of June. I got it escalated and they picked it up sooner than that. If I didn’t escalate it, I would’ve had to wait until that time frame.

    We needed storage while we moved and we refused to put everything in the garage. So, we used the POD and we used it for quite a while. That allowed us to move at our pace and at our convenience so that we just weren't throwing stuff around but everything had a place, which was quite nice and made the process easier. We've used PODS before. They were not always the cheapest route. I've been impressed with the caliber of their customer service and drivers. We're not going to go, "Oh! Just because they're cheaper". I'm definitely more interested in customer care and service than who's the cheapest. And PODS seemed to have the edge on that.

    I booked my storage online and it was easy. I got the 16-foot container. The only difficulty that we had because we have an incline of a driveway was getting that size of a truck up the driveway. As far as size, they have quite the good offer. The container did exactly what we needed it to. And with it sitting here for close to six months, it kept our boxes and our things dry and safe. It didn't need climate control. It was definitely well worth it.

    Their drivers were awesome. Both of them that we had were interactive, friendly, good caliber of people. I got a nine-year old who is just mesmerized when the truck comes and it does its little action of dropping the POD off and then picking it up. They're so interactive. It was a smooth process moving my container. They came, they swiped it, and gone. It's almost too quick. You wish they'd labor a little bit so you could watch and admire the process. We'll continue to use PODS as the needs arise and we'll continue to refer them to others.

    I went to PODS' website to book a container and it's very easy doing it. I liked that the website gives the estimated price before I submit anything. On the other hand, the website said the first available date was two weeks out, so I called customer service to make sure that is correct. They said it was a high demand time. The final pod took two weeks to arrive which was a little longer than we thought. They dropped it off and a few of them that we talked to were very friendly. In addition, we already off loaded the pod in our driveway and the pod was sitting there for two weeks. We had to wait. But other than that, I've had a great experience and I would use them again if I had to.

    We were moving and we weren’t able to move in immediately so there was a five-week difference between the time we had to move out of our house and then the new house that we had bought was available. I got the the 16-footer pod, and it was just like the back of any moving van. It was a big, rectangular tube and I was able to stack stuff up really nicely and we got almost everything in it. Then they took the pod back to their facility in Oxnard and stored it for me. When I called for them to deliver it, they did it on time. Then came back one day later and picked it up and took it away. It was a lot more economical to use PODS than to have used a moving company. A moving company would have cost much more than what we ended up paying for the PODS for five weeks. It was great.

    I rented a 16-foot pod online and booking it was a straightforward process. I like the fact that PODS would bring out the container, drop it and take it where I want it later. I got a container that's safe and although the door was a little flimsy, it served its purpose. Also, the drivers who delivered the pod and then picked it up again were good and very helpful. It was a challenging place to get into and they did it well and didn’t complain. PODS stored the container for a while and I had to call them once afterwards to set up redeliveries since it was at a new address and I couldn’t convince the offline service to let me do that.

    I did the first booking with PODS when we moved from San Francisco up here. And then we were doing some remodeling. So, we got a pod and stuck things in there like an extra room. We investigated different ways and it seemed like the pod made the most sense so we could move on our own leisure. And then, once we had seen how PODS deliver it and we knew our area, as far as being able to get in, that even though it's kind of rural, we knew that the moving equipment would be able to do it. I emailed someone in Florida the first time and then, we did a lot through email and then spoke on the phone as well. All that worked out fine. And every step along the way was nice. We used movers before going to a place in New Orleans but there'd be no way to get down through some of the places like in the French Quarter. We had good experiences with both but for our services, the pod was the best thing out there.

    Recently, we got the second smallest pod and in fact, it was more space than we needed. We have a lock on there which was the same one we used before and we're able to keep the pod out in the driveway and open it up when we needed it. The pod drivers in both places, San Francisco and here, were fantastic. They were very accommodating and seemed like they know what they're doing. We had a spot we're able to put it right onto the grass and we were able to kind of direct them. We know where we wanted it and it worked out good. We would use PODS again and we've recommended it to other people.

    I did my research and found that PODS was the most efficient process around. I looked at U-haul and they didn't have the comprehensive processes that PODS did. If there are others out there besides PODS, they had a limited amount of services. I used PODS for the mobile storage. I had them deliver the pod to the house so that we can pack it and then had it sent to our new location.

    Booking it online was easy for the most part. There was some clunkiness, especially during last-minute changes when I get new information. I had to go in and make some changes since my wife and I were coordinating different aspects of our initial move and I had to check back in three to five times to make sure that the changes have been made. I'm not a web designer but I'm in customer service so I'm on websites a lot. With what I've experienced it saves a lot of hassle of having to go check back.

    The first driver that we had back in December was good. I stood there and watched him because I've been curious about the whole technique of them having a mechanical scaffold that picks up the pod and then puts it on the flatbed. We had a three-car garage in a house that we sold so we had a driveway but it was on a slope. I wanted the driver to put it on the right side of the driveway but he put it on the left. And he broke a tree branch that was right there which was four inches in diameter.

    The first pod's door was difficult to either open or close. Those things were beat up. I would recommend to PODS to look at their periodic maintenance program protocol and say, "How often are we servicing our pods?" They need more inspections to determine, "Okay, this pod may be on its last leg." It wasn't a huge inconvenience but the pod was rusting in places and just had been used.

    In our second move, I changed the date of taking the pod from house A to house B and I don't know if it was my error. Again, I had to wait for the website to make the changes. There's always going to be that customer like me who's going to be on the fly a hundred miles an hour. It's frustrating if I have to wait for the website to catch up with me because I don't see that my changes are immediate.

    First the young man who delivered the POD broke the key off in the lock. He called in and got permission for us to cut/drill the latch without charging us for that. OK, he left, we drilled the latch to get the lock off (which PODS had sold us!!) THEN discover that the door will NOT roll up more than about 8". Something shifted in transport and is jammed up against the door keeping it closed and unable to roll up. Called into PODS for help. Voice mail hell for about 45 minutes until I got someone live on the phone. I said, "This cannot be the first time this has happened" and the girl kinda laughed. She said someone would come out, she called it a "lock out visit". All this was Wed. afternoon, first time someone could come out was FRIDAY. I was not happy but it is what it is.

    Today is Friday, it is afternoon, I have not gotten a call or an email, NOTHING about when someone will show up to help. I call in again. They have NO RECORD of my call in on Wed. They are so sorry but nothing they can do. Except reschedule me for SAT. All drivers and other workers are GONE on Fri. at 1:40pm. (REALLY???) I am worried about my stuff in the POD. It was obviously handled rather roughly at some point after they picked it up from my Calif. location to move it to south-central Texas. Causing the shift in contents. There are major scrapes on the sides and ends which Were NOT There when it was on my driveway in Calif. for almost 6 mos. I just need someone to come open the door, take it off its track, SOMETHING so we can get unloaded and they can take the thing away again.

    UPDATED ON 08/13/2017: After FINALLY getting the POD door opened, I discovered WHY stuff had shifted in transit - There was a large gap to the right side of where my oak bookshelves were. When I closed & locked the POD in No.Calif., there was NO GAP anywhere, that POD was so stuffed full, front to back, top to bottom, side to side, that you could NOT slide a piece of paper anywhere. NOTHING COULD MOVE.

    Upon opening it in TX, there was stuff missing: My hand truck which we had loaded last to be able to use when unloading, my lawn blower, my gas weedeater, and about 20-25 boxes. I still don't know the extent of loss of possessions as I am still unpacking. But when I called PODS all I got was stonewalling, that is impossible, you have the only key, we are very secure, etc, etc, etc. Well, when it got here to TX, my key would go in the white lock (they sold me) but not turn. So the lock was switched at some point. One of their locks to one of their locks so it looked the same. This on top of the being lied to several times is just infuriating.

    PLUS Now I am being told my account is past due!!! HOW IS IT PAST DUE when you have my CC on file and have certainly taken money out of it easily every month??? And how is it the dollar amount changes slightly many months??? I was told the last months rent of the POD had already been billed and would be refunded to me but instead I am getting PAST DUE emails??? I am not a fan of this company at all. AND WOULD NEVER USE THEM AGAIN.

    I had the PODS container dropped off at our house. It gave us a way to load everything into it and clear out the house so we could show it to sell it. It's more convenient versus trying to load things into a truck and move it into a storage unit. Also their pricing was good for what we get for moving and storage combined. I booked online and it was really easy. All is clear – the different size options that were available and how the pricing work and then the account was set up for when you wanted the pick-up, drop-off, and delivery.

    The pod was in great shape and very solid. I was worried that it would be flimsy, that it was only a solid plywood and metal frames. It had cosmetic scuffs and marks from people using it and moving but nothing that functionally made any difference. It worked really well. The rolling door was really nice, easy to move around and get in and out of it. Also, the guy that dropped it off at the new property was friendly and a few minutes early. We needed to have the container positioned in a specific way and I felt a little bad he had to take it off the truck, turn it all around, put it back, and move it around a bit. It took him a little while but he was very cooperative and nice about doing it. The process worked really well. They've got it out right when we needed it from the old house until we could close there and then right to the new house.

    The only issue we got, which we were able to work out, was I noticed that when I scheduled for that Monday morning pick up it said it was going to be an extra $200. It's a monthly billing process and we got it on a Saturday and the 30th day fell on a Sunday. They have no pickup in the area on Sundays. They said it would be an extra whole month to have it pick up Monday morning. They were friendly and explained all the situation and I understood that's just the policy but they need to have some sort of leeway or convenience there like a partial payment for the additional day. We were not informed about it during booking and I didn't realize that was going to be an issue. But other than they were great and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. PODS is convenient, cost-effective and simple.

    On 7/19/17, I ordered 6 8'x16' pods for a move from the Dallas, Tx area to the San Diego, Ca area. Well... It went downhill from there. Move forward to today... I had 2 pods sched to return to storage & 4 pods sched to be delivered afterwards on the same day. Today, 7/25/17. The service center sent the pods to the wrong address. Called me. I told them the account had been updated with my home address 2 days ago because the management doesn't like dealing with Pods and won't allow them to drop pods there. Ok. I'll get a U haul and transfer my items to pods at my house. They sent 2 drivers to the updated address with 2 pods on their truck, Couldn't put them down, because they hadn't picked up the pods waiting to go to storage. The manager had no idea there were 2 pods sched to be picked up. Wrong address/unknown pick up. It gets worse.

    The drivers go back to unload & return to pick up. 2 pods were approved by scheduling to go in the driveway. Driver says no pod will fit. Ok. He put 1 pod in the front. Took the other remaining ready pod to storage. Different driver returned with another pod. HE PUT IT IN THE DRIVEWAY. You know, the place the other driver said it wouldn't fit. Now I have 2 remaining pods to be delivered. The manager @ the Garland Service Center said a driver told him there was not enough room in the front for 2 more pods. I have a picture of a very large EMPTY area in the front with no pods, because someone said they wouldn't fit. So. I text the manager a pic of the large empty front where there are no pods. He didn't want to hear it. He told me that it was all my fault because my pick up pods were not ready when they arrived this morning.

    Now, remember me saying they didn't come to pick up, but to unload? Remember, he didn't even know there was a pick up? But it's still my fault. I tell the manager, yes, the pods were ready. He says they weren't full. I say "I'm not filling my pods to capacity for safety. I don't want to over fill. That's why I ordered 6 pods for a 4 pod move." He tells me the doors weren't closed and they weren't full. So, I ask him "Don't I have the right not to fill my pods to capacity? The doors can be closed and locked in an instant." He tells me “If the doors aren't closed when we get there, you’re not ready.” But they weren't there to pick up, remember? Ok. Sounds like a 10yr old’s excuse.

    He tells me there's no room for 2 more pods. He says, "We won't deliver until 2 pods are filled and returned." Well, I have a pic of a big empty space that the manager doesn't want to look at. He tells me the driver said they won't fit, so he doesn't want to look at the pic. So. I don't have all of my pods. My move is delayed. I'll need to stay in a hotel because my house is sold and closing will need to be delayed before my pods will be delivered to the big empty space I reserved for them. I'm sending the pic to corporate. Manager said “Go ahead, I don't care.” I wonder if they will care? Will they think this is appropriate customer service? I'll be telling people not to use Pods.

    PODS was simply too good to be true. From the easy to navigate website, to excellent customer service, fantastic initial delivery guy, easy temporary summer storage, more than fair price. All was great UNTIL we got our date for our home closing and needed to retrieve our POD with basically everything in our life inside of it. Having been originally told two months ago to give PODS 24-48 hours advance notice to have our POD delivered, I decided to call 72 hours in advance just to be safe after receiving our closing date a few hours ago. Well, this is where everything went south.

    Today is July 25, 2017. PODS claims now that the earliest delivery is August 8th. This is more than 2.5 weeks away! PODS told us they needed 24-48 hours. How can it take 2.5 weeks?! Not only this, but they are now also telling us that this facility will only deliver on Tuesdays. Obviously, none of this was shared with us from the start! To add misery to this story, we also are getting married out of state on August 5th and will not be anywhere near our new home on August 8th. So, now, our plan, we guess is to rent a U-Haul (pay several hundred more $$ than we had budgeted), drive several hours to the POD facility, unload the POD, load the U-Haul, drive several hours back to our new house, unload and begin moving in. Very, very disappointed in what seemed like well put together, professional, smooth-working company. Very disappointed.

It wasn't easy enough for me to get in there in about a few minutes' time and figure it out. Another thing that was difficult was trying to get a representative. It took me 30 to 45 minutes for somebody to pick up every time I called in the afternoon and that was definitely a pain.

    But the POD was clean, sturdy and a pretty simple structure. I requested a half container PODS, an 8×12 and the size was fine and it fit my needs. The guys from PODS picked it up on the back end than on the front end and it was cool. They fit into an apartment complex and we had that all prepared.

They were a day late delivering the POD I guess due to a closed freeway when the company dropped off my empty POD at the beginning of the move. The problem is that I could not get the door open. Boxes and furniture had apparently shifted badly. I talked to the driver right after delivery and he gave me a few hints to open it which did not work for me.

    I called the 800 number right after and have talked to three associates at the 800 number who could not have been more friendly, sympathetic, and willing to help. They all sent emails, called the office, and did what they could to get help for me, but until the fourth call no one at the local office answered their phone, returned a call, or responded to email. So now on Monday at noon, someone finally answers the fourth call and the associate at the local office who handles my problem type is out to lunch. I am now waiting for his call and we will see how this ends.

    I needed to store my stuff for a month and PODS was the most convenient because I didn't have to keep loading and unloading. The pricing got a little complicated and I had to call and talk to a guy on the phone who told me he would be able to get better pricing but he could not. I ended up doing everything online and it was nice and easy. The container I got was perfect and the drivers who did the pick up and drop off were very nice. It was a good experience and I'm happy.

    I was moving and I was recommended by somebody who were using PODS. Booking it was easy, the representatives were very good. I got the biggest pod I could get. It was clean, sturdy and made me feel that my stuff was safe. I’d recommend it, they got the job done.

    At the time we needed the storage, we still didn't know where we were moving. So, we needed something that would work out better versus having an actual physical location somewhere that we would have to repack again and again. We booked with PODS online and it was fine. If I had any questions, I had no problem reaching someone over the phone and talking to them. It was also easy to set up the appointments to go in and out of our pods 'cause I had to do that several times and there was never an issue or delay. I probably could've gotten a smaller container but the size is fine because we still had room. It wasn’t overwhelming like everything was packed so tight. Also, the drivers were great. They were on time and professional in loading and unloading all the equipment. They stored it at their facility and then dropped it off at our new location. I would definitely use them again in the future if we need to.

    I was moving and building a house so I had to put my stuff in storage for about two years. I like that PODS came, dropped the container off, picked it up then dropped it off back instead of moving it a million different times. I booked with them over the phone and their rep was very helpful and found me a better deal. The container I got was a big one and was in a good condition. The guy who dropped it off was very nice and put the container where I wanted it to go. It was a good experience. Everything was taken care of really well, for the most part, and I would recommend PODS.

    This is the second time we used PODS.com. The first time is mostly smooth. We selected PODS for the convenience but the results from this experience tells us never again. They cannot be trusted to deliver on time, and while representatives on the phone are courteous and respectful, they are unable to execute and solve problems.

    We are on a foreign assignment and used PODS to temporarily store my belongings until I return. During the initial delivery of the pod in 2015, the empty container showed up timely, but without the pads I ordered that PODS charged me for. It was an inconvenience but I managed through it by rushing to Lowe's that morning and calling PODS to reverse the charges. Okay - bad but not a show stopper.

    Fast forward to 2017 and we are now moving back. I arrange a "home visit" international flight to move-in my furniture in advance to prep for the final move. I called and arranged the pod delivery in April for a move in July. I also hired a crew to show up 2 days after the pod arrives to help move in. This is FOUR MONTHS in advance. Come July 14th - my pod doesn't show up. I am overseas and frantically calls PODS and gets a response that it will show up July 15th. Come July 15th - pod doesn't show up. Calls again, and now the next delivery is on July 21st. Crew I hired to come on July 16th now has nothing to do and I had to reschedule them.

    PODS gave assurances that this time there is no slip up since an Incident Report is written up and my case has very high attention. The service person apologizes profusely. (only reason why there is still a star on this...) By now, there is already irreversible damage for me. I will likely have to pay for the crew that I scheduled on July 16th but couldn't do the job. And because I couldn't move in advance, I now have to arrange hotel for my family and our dog to stay at a hotel when the final move occurs. An incident report is written to describe my situation and a number given to me. I email customer service documenting the complaint with my order number and incident report and get ZERO response.

    Come July 21st - surprise... pod isn't delivered again. My property manager sends me a picture of an empty driveway. By this time I am back in Europe and again and I call PODS. Service representative apologizes profusely, again. Now the delivery date is July 26th. However, there is absolutely nothing else the service representative can do but to reschedule. No explanation why it was missed, no accountability whatsoever. Now, I cannot trust this company anymore and start to micro manage them. I ask the representative that I need the local site manager to establish visual on my pod and send me a picture of my pod to prove it is not lost. The representative says that they will send in a request. Also, that the local manager will call or write me an email to explain why the delay happened. So far still nothing...

    There is ZERO customer trust with this company. Being nice on the phone is a must but execution is key, and this company cannot execute. I have to now start planning contingency that it will not come on July 26th, and that I will not be able to move in timely. I am now planning extended hotel stay after my arrival on July 27th. Never have I felt a company with such low accountability that I'm seriously considering legal options to recoup all of the costs. Message to PODS.com: Please don't ask me to send my customer ID in a private communication. You already have it in your inbox (twice already) with an incident report still not addressed. PLEASE just fix this issue and find the root cause of your problems.

    I rented from PODS because of their reputation. I booked the smallest container and everything was good with the driver. The office and company where I had to stuff the pod where the delivery company came to unload were very, very nice and helpful. I would do it again if I needed to.

    Booking online with PODS was easy and they can deliver on a weekend. We used the container we requested in our garage and it was the right size for our needs. It was a roll-up just to store our stuff while we're getting new carpeting. However, they couldn't pick it up before my billing cycle. I tried to get it scheduled for pick up with their reps and it went fine and they got me what I needed and made sure to put in the refund that I was due. The carrier drivers called to let me know when it was going to be delivered and they were great to work with. It was an easy, simple and good experience all in all.

    I was moving and booked a 16-foot container with PODS online, mostly for the cost and also for the convenience. Their service is a great concept. If I had booked with a moving company then we would have needed to have everything ready on the day that the movers came. But with PODS, we were able to load the pods as we could, then the PODS guys picked up the full pods and delivered it to our new home. The fact that we could have the pods for a whole month was very nice and we had enough time to unload it. But if I could do the booking all over again I would have ordered two pods, one for all the big furniture and the other one for all the boxes.

    The PODS guys brought an empty pods unit to my old house and that worked out fine. But when I tried to schedule a date for the full pods to be picked up and brought to my condo, the website wasn't allowing me to save the booking online and I had to call PODS. I kept telling the rep the pickup date that I wanted because I had taken that day off and I had people coming to help me unload the pods. But the rep kept telling me to try booking that date myself online instead of booking it himself. He said that PODS was having issues online but he was sure that our booking went through fine.

    PODS was supposed to pick the container up on a Friday, but I found out on the morning of that day that the pickup never got scheduled. So I called PODS and they said that they could not do the pickup any sooner than the following Tuesday, but they gave me the local number. I called that number and the rep said that they didn't have anybody out in my area on that Friday, but he was sure that they would be able to get the pods to me on Saturday. Whoever was working at the Grand Rapids location was extremely helpful and so we were just a day off in getting our container.

    The drivers who picked up and moved my container were very friendly and helped me make the best choice in terms of how close to the house I should have it. Three weeks after we were done, I got a follow-up call from the customer service reps. They asked me how my experience was and I told them that it was all good. While it frustrates me that I didn't have the help to unload the pods when it came on Saturday since all my helpers could only come on Friday, I still highly recommend PODS. It's a convenient, less expensive, and friendly service.

    PODS could provide on-site storage at our house so I chose them. Their website was easy to navigate but when I requested for a 12 container they delivered a 16. I called them to say that they delivered the wrong one and I didn't want to pay for a 16, all I needed was 12. They were nice enough to say it was totally their fault and they would only charge me for a 12. The container was in great shape. It was clean and sturdy. We had rain during that time period and the container had no leaks.

    I was away from the house when the driver delivered the container and I tried to get back in time but he was too fast so I called him and he said he got the container right where I told him to put it. He also said to let him know if there's a problem but the container was right where I told him. Then I ended up getting charged additional money for a 16 so I did a follow up call with them to get the billing straightened out.

    They did some research and found out that they ended up switching out some invoicing. It was a bookkeeping error. They immediately fixed the error and credited it. They were even nicer than I expected because they ended up giving me a $75 credit on top of that just for my trouble. They were very professional and very responsive to any of my questions or concerns. I was very impressed with how they handled everything.

    There weren’t a lot of options in my location and of the options we had, PODS had the best price. I rented one 16 footer pod from them and kept it outside of my house for a remodel. The delivery was perfect and exactly as I had requested it. They set the container up perfectly, the door was exactly where I asked for, and the location was exactly how I asked for. They were great. I had a good experience overall.
