    I called PODS and the price was decent so I went with them. I booked online and then I called because we had to move several hundreds of miles away. The rep was very helpful and we would've gotten a different size of the container if I had not forgotten about the garage. Still, the container was all good, and the drivers were wonderful. They picked up the container and stored it, then when we moved and the house finally closed down, they brought the container down to us.

    We were doing a big move and had two 16-foot pods. Everything that PODS did was outstanding. I couldn't have worked with a better company. We packed our things and had to put them in storage for about a month and a half until we closed on our new home and the closing on our new home kept changing, so I kept calling PODS and nobody ever complained. Everybody was accommodating and they helped us out. The drivers that came were all outstanding. I was so glad I went with them. It was a very professional operation. We dealt with PODS in two different states because we moved out-of-state. And both ends, they were great. I would highly recommend them to anybody.

    I moved from Hawaii to Utah, and I wasn't sure how many PODS I needed, so I had two of the larger, 16-foot containers brought in. They put one container in the backyard and the other one in the front yard. However, when I got ready, I only filled one container because the people that bought our home bought all our furniture. Then the PODS guys came and got the unused container. It's worked that good. I knew I had to have the hauling and pay somebody. In fact, they charged me for hauling, but I didn't have to pay any penalties, and that was really good of them. The drivers only phoned for a short time, but they seemed to be very good, friendly, and professional. I've already recommended PODS to three people.

    I called PODS and told them when I wanted the container and where it would be picked up. But it got screwed up and they didn’t pick it up. Their computer had gone down, and my order came out of the system. Then it said I canceled it. They said I had ordered two pods, which I hadn’t. And the man who dropped off the original pod called me and he said, “Do you have two pods?” And I said, “No.” And he goes, “You better call them.” So I called PODS and they fixed it. They found a glitch and straightened it out. They were a week late picking it up and it was kind of an inconvenience, but they were good to me. They got here when they said they were coming. The guy that picked it up was great. He was friendly, cooperative and answered questions, if I had any. He was really nice.

    Over a year ago, I got containers for storage from PODS and booked them online. It was pretty simple and easy to navigate the website. I got two containers, a large one and a smaller one. I could've used two large ones instead of the small and large. I underestimated the amount of space I needed. But everything was good. The pods weren't leaking and were not damaged. One gentleman called for directions, the driver asked me where to put the containers. I showed him where to put them, and he dropped them right there. Everybody was pleasant.

    Six months ago, we availed of PODS' moving and storage services. We chose them primarily because we had a bad experience before when things went into storage with a regular mover. You do a double move and things get broken and lost. There was also some price advantage with PODS. I booked with them over the phone and had some follow-up too. We talked with their reps, described what we had, and got an estimate of what it would take which was two 16-foot containers. We also went and used the PODS website to find someone to help us pack both the containers.

    The person from the local moving company that was helping us with the load came out and told us our stuff was not going to fit in the two containers so we ordered a third 8-foot container, but we still didn’t get everything in. We should have had three 16-footers to load all our stuff. When they say a two or three-bedroom house, you need two containers. We had a two-bedroom house but we really needed three containers, not two. We ended up leaving some lawn furniture, gas grill, and barbecue grill. We sold part of them to the guys that helped us load and gave some to Goodwill. So, I was a little disappointed in terms of the accuracy of the estimate.

    Everything else went really smoothly and everybody did what they were supposed to do. It was very good although there were two things that fell down. I would recommend PODS, but they should be careful how they estimate. That’s the big advantage of using a normal moving storage company where somebody comes out and looks at everything and does a bottom-up estimate. It’s hard to do that over the phone.

    Do not use PODS. I was just contacted by pods after 14 months of using them and they sent me to collections and are trying to ruin my credit, I paid 2700 dollars for one pod rental with out of state delivery. Everything was included in my contract, including the re delivery fee that I paid all up front. I called corporate and they told me I was correct and that they were having a computer glitch and they apologized. Now 14 months later, they send me to collections for their mistake, I disputed these charges with my bank 14 months ago, and my bank gave me the money back.

    PODS never answered the dispute! DON'T USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE BILLED EVEN AFTER YOU RETURN THE POD. One more thing their corporate office is in Clearwater Florida, its accounts receivable who is ripping people off. They are downright nasty, her name was Kira. I even spoke to her supervisor Renee, they have the worst customer service.

    I used PODS' storage services. I booked online and their website was easy to navigate. The drivers who picked up the container were all very nice. My first time using them was a year and a half ago, and they didn't make it really clear that, at the time, I had to pay for a return fee. They charged me when I ordered the pod and they delivered it. And then, they charged me again when they picked it up. I really wasn't aware of that. So, I was shocked when they did that. This time, I knew it was going to happen, and I saw it on the internet, as well. Overall, my experience has been very easy.

We used them to go cross country in order to take some material from California to Texas. And before that, from Chicago into California. We used the 16-foot container on both occasions, and it was the correct size for our needs. We kept going back and forth to make sure we could get our things, and PODS' customer service representatives were always extremely helpful, capable and efficient.

    We got a pod container delivered to our house while we were installing new carpet. So, we got to empty out the house, put all the stuff out in the pod, prep the floors and have the carpet installed. We chose PODS most importantly because of the size, and then based on it, the price. A number of others had sizes that wouldn't work for us and PODS had the size that would. It was a good size. It was big enough, but not too big. I can put the furniture and get everything in there but not have that packed ridiculously overstuffed.

    We did an initial online order online and then we thought that there was going to be something where we're going to have to change the date so we cancelled the first order. And then when we ordered it the second time, but all of a sudden, the delivery charge went up $10, which surely confused us. When we ended up, we went back to the original date. But that $10 was a trivial part of the overall remodel that happened inside the house.

    After watching the delivery, we found out when the guy was coming to pick the pod up and made sure that the two-year-old grandson was here to watch that whole operation. And this was a great hit that the drivers were really fine and personable. It was a positive experience with PODS all the way around. The pod was a real, useful and appropriate box that came clean and the people were good.

    I really liked PODS. Everything was done accordingly and it was great. I needed storage because I don't have a vehicle to move things myself and I was looking for PODS to do all that. I made the booking over the phone as I don't like booking online because I don't think it's user-friendly. Also, I do a lot of my work, personal and business, while at work. So, it's easier and more efficient for me to call and get a live voice. I got their smallest container but I wish there was a smaller one. However, their cost is okay. Their drivers called me and told me where they were going to drop it off and where I wanted the opening to be. So, they came and picked up my things, took it to storage, and then they dropped it back off when I got into another house. Overall, it has been a positive experience. They did what they were supposed to do and it was on time.

    We rented pods for a move that includes picking them up with a switch-out between days. I needed three pods and could only fit one at a time at my destination where we left, and I could only do two at a time at the destination that we were moving to, but I had three big pods. I would have preferred at one point to have had a horizontal rod at the back of the pod, to be able to hang things instead of side by side. I understand why PODS does it side to side length-wise in the pod, but that made it difficult to fill the pods because we needed to hang stuff and it was very difficult tacking the pods with stuff on the hanging rods that they had. It would have been much better to have had them crosswise, instead of length-wise. That cost me some room in the pods and we ended up having to throw away furniture, exercise equipment, and memorabilia in the end because we didn't have any more room in there and had to be out of our house.

    On the other hand, we hired HireAHelper and they were all great. They were on time, worked hard, and did everything I needed them to. I asked for some of the guys from the first group to stay longer, for as long as I needed them to, and they did stay an extra hour and a half. Also, the drivers on both sides were fantastic as far as coordinating with me to have one filled before they picked up that one to drop off another one in Detroit. And then in Minneapolis, they worked with me as far as picking it up. That went better than I had expected and as well as I had hoped, and I was really happy with that.

    We had pods for the move and also did storage. I had to access the pods during the storage period and the gentleman that worked there was great as he helped me out as well. I would definitely do PODS again. I did have a little bit of water damage on some furniture where it swelled, and I'm not sure exactly at what stage that had happened, but as far as the service that I received, it was great.

Their rep who I talked to was very friendly.

They packed it tight and nothing moved nor broken. It looked the same way as they packed it when we opened up the door when we got out here.

    We were cleaning out the house so we could sell it. I've seen PODS around and I thought this would be the way to do it. My real estate agent also suggested it. I booked online and there was an online sales chat and they guided me through the process. It was fairly intuitive and fairly easy just to do it. And everything else I did was online as far as delivering it back to me and picking it up.

    I load the pod up and they took it. I rented the pod and they stored it for me for three months. And then when they come back, they unloaded it so it was easy. I didn't have to do a whole lot. If they had a 10x25, I could have stuffed a lot more in there. But I only got their largest size, 10x16. I filled that thing up to the gills. I had more stuff that could have went in there but I wasn't gonna buy two of them. But, it was the size that helped me get as much out of the house as I possibly could.

    The first driver was good and the driver that delivered it to my apartment was very helpful because I had made a mistake on which end of the door was. So he was nice enough to go ahead and drop it off, and then actually turn it around for me because I misread the directions. I went ahead and booked it for two days later to pick it up, and he says, "Do you think you're gonna have this thing done today?" And I said "yeah." And he says, "Well, I'll tell you what. I'm just gonna go ahead and schedule and do a pickup tomorrow, so that we can get it out of the apartment." There was some concern there because were tying up some of their area there.

    Everything went exactly as planned with PODS. I think it's a very, very unique system. Especially the way they pick the pod up and drop them. It just amazes me the contraption that they use to actually get that thing on their truck and then drop it on the sideway. It's a very unique experience, just watching. They did everything I wanted and a little bit more.

    When I booked PODS over the phone, I spoke with an older gentleman and he was very nice about it. He got me all setup. My mom sold her house and had to move out in September. So, we had to change it from August to September. Then, her apartment at the nursing home area, the patio home was not ready until mid-January. So, we had to store it. I was able to get the discount for more than three months, which I loved, with the free pick-up and delivery. And that was unbelievably great.

    She had chocolate chip in a box stored in there. And it was 95 degrees in August. They moved it into the cavern, below the Louisville Zoo. And those chocolate chips were perfect. Not a single one melted. I was so impressed. If the chocolate chips don't melt in a pod full of furniture and everything, it was great. Everything came out clean. When they delivered it to my mom's patio home at the nursing home area, I met the young man there to put the pod in. And I was just totally blown away as to how they move it. Because she had a double drive, but he had to put it just on her side. And he had eight inches to play with to get it in there. He was fantastic and fun to watch. He never missed a single piece of the unfinished ground. It was on the concrete all the way. It went well. And if I ever had to use PODS again, I would not hesitate.

At some point, there was a message that came up that said to continue to invoice. I had to call in with a certain order number but other than that, it was fine. The rep was very helpful. It took about 15 minutes and that was it. They gave some guidance on the container size that we need but what we originally got was too small. But, it was easy to get a second pod ordered and ready to go.

    It went great for all segments of drop-off, pickup, etc. Everybody was great. They didn't make any fuss about a couple overhanging branches or anything like that. They put it where it needed to be. Everything was within the given timeframe and it did work with our schedule every single time. Also, everything felt safe. We put our own locks there so I wasn't concerned about anybody getting in. The only issue we had was, upon delivery, the stuff had shifted in a way that it wedged one of the doors shut. It took about 15 minutes to get the door open. Other than that, everything went smoothly so we were happy with the experience.

    We moved from Florida to Texas. The PODS representative was wonderful. He answered all my questions and made it real easy. The container that I got was clean, sturdy and it worked out perfectly. The driver in Texas that dropped the pod off and then came back and picked it up when it was empty, went out of his way to be helpful and friendly. My husband has stage four lung cancer, and that gentleman out in Texas was just awesome about the whole thing and made things convenient for us based on my husband’s care.

    We used a PODS container to move our belongings from Illinois down to Florida. It worked out best for our situation and we could have the container for a few days. We got it on a Wednesday, had professional packers in to pack our stuff on the Friday, and it wasn't picked up until the Monday. So we had the weekend to get the house cleaned out and be able to put cleaning supplies and vacuums and different things in.

    The 16-foot container we got was perfect. I took some 200 cubic foot of stuff for a friend of mine who had a storage locker up there, and it worked out to be exactly the size we needed. We were very impressed with the container and the lock I ordered from PODS was perfect. We felt very secure with it. There was no way anyone could get in and cut that lock off. The container was quite clean too. However, our container was never delivered. In the end, I phoned up to ask where it is and I didn't realize that once it's been picked up from our location, I was to call to arrange for it to be transported down to Florida. I didn't know that and I wish somebody had explained it to me. I was just told it would take about 10 days and I was waiting for it.

    But other than that, we were very happy with the whole process. When their team was here, we were out there watching them, fascinated at the way they got items off the truck and placed on the drive. We watched them both at the drop-off and pick-up, and they certainly seemed to know what they were doing and did a very good job. They were very pleasant too. I definitely recommend PODS. They have excellent service. It certainly worked for us better than using a removal company. We were very impressed with the whole setup, and they were very good value for money.

    I had heard good things about PODS. It was a familiar name to me and since I was going such a great distance from the east coast to the west coast I thought it was the most cost-effective way to do it. So, I rented a pod from them in North Carolina and then filled it myself. I had it shipped to the ztate of Oregon and stored at their facility in Wilsonville, Oregon until I found a place to go. I used the online and over the phone booking because I had to talk to somebody about dates and the cost. One time, I had to access my pod and I did that online and it's a pretty good system. I also talked to a rep and that went fine. They did what they said they were gonna do with the exception of the billing. I was under the impression that the billing was going to be in a three step process however it all just dropped at once. So that was a little bit disconcerting but it wasn't a problem.

    The sales rep also helped me have a good sized pod for what I would have to put. I was packing it myself and I'm only 5 feet tall and weigh about 115 pounds so I couldn't go all the way to the roof. If I would have a professional packers and everything else I probably could have gotten away with a smaller pod. Then, the person who dropped the pod was extremely helpful and showed me how to utilize it and how to load it. He also made suggestions in tying things off and stuff like that. The only thing I didn't get was a confirmation that it had arrived here in Oregon. So I had to call to find out if it was actually here. Although I didn't need it immediately, I wanted to know that my things were safe and in the area. So that was something I thought could be a good addition, an email, a text or whatever that says it's arrived and it's here.

    I called them directly and would set up a pick-up but I wasn't able to bring the pod to where I moved because of the size of the trucks that moved them. And so I ended up having to hire a moving company to go to the storage, unload everything and put it in their truck. Then, bring it all over here and unload it again. That was a much larger expense than I had anticipated. Although it was a great experience and everything arrived in the same condition as it went in the pod. They handled it very well on the road and kept everything level. So it was good.

    We were moving from Maryland to Oregon and PODS worked really well for us by being able to load one pod and send it out, and load another then send it out. It wasn't storage but stretched out moving. So, instead of having everything ready to load into a moving van in one day, we were able to load it at our convenience. We stretched it out and it worked really good. We got two 16 ft and that was perfect. All the drivers, the pick-up and drop off people were all great, very personable and helpful. Since we're stretched out, we flew to Oregon and waited for the second pod. I needed to reschedule and some gal I talked to on the phone said all the words that she had done but did not hit the 'do it' button. She didn't really reschedule it.

    So, things got screwed up. It was very frustrating and stressful but PODS made it work out, so it wound up being okay. The other frustrating thing was when we were waiting for the final drop off and I called to check on it and the rep said that we haven't paid our bill for our last part, when in fact, they are automatically taking it out off my credit card as things come due. And it turned out she had over billed us but they've worked it out. That got fixed too but it was frustrating and stressful. Even though there were frustrating things and miscommunication, it all worked out in the end. However, the way I was billed was very confusing. It didn't break down exactly. It would have been more easy to understand if everything was right. Nevertheless, I would use them again if I needed to.

    I got PODS for moving and storage because of convenience. I got a quote online and I was able to get a lot of information but when it came right down to getting the job done and what have they, I really didn't feel that online was enough information. So, by the time I was ready to actually place my order, I booked on the phone. The gaI I talked to directly when I initially booked was very, very helpful, informative and efficient. I got the largest container, the 16-foot, and it worked out real well. The container was clean and watertight which was pretty important to me because I had it for a number months during rainy season.

    My interactions with the drivers who picked up the container were the best part of the whole transaction. The drivers were helpful, knowledgeable, bent over backwards, kept me informed when they actually picked up to move it from Washington to California, and even though the fellow got tied up, he kept in constant communication with me. I know exactly what was going on and I had no concerns at all. Customer service did a follow-up and initially in May when I placed my order they knew that I'm moving from Washington State to Chico, California. There were two options in Sacramento where they could put the unit yet they opted to put the storage unit at McClellan Air Force Base, which was awkward because that particular location in Sacramento only allowed for trips to Chico on Wednesdays and I would have like to have had it a little sooner being how I was paying rent on it.

    But a month later after they delivered, when I was ready to have them picked up, they couldn't pick up until the day after my month was over and they assured me that I would not be charged for an additional month since I was already a week before my month was up. But I was charged for it then they made it right in the end when they reimbursed it. So, I'm still perfectly happy with my service although they should have alerted me ahead of time about the only time they made the trip from that particular location in Sacramento to Chico was on Wednesdays. If I had known that, I could've rearranged things a little bit but in any event, it worked out fine. Thus, if I were in a similar situation again, I wouldn't hesitate to use PODS again.

Then when we got ready to move, I ordered a 16-footer and they brought it and I finished loading it. I had enough area in that to put the rest of my furniture. I had a three-bedroom house with a lot of stuff.

    Then they kept it for three days because I couldn’t get it moved that particular day to my new house, and they agreed to deliver it on Monday. They delivered it on Monday like they said and then afterward, I called them again and said, “Okay, now I’m ready for my seven-footer” and then they brought that out. So I'm very well pleased with everything. The cleanliness of the containers was perfect. I liked that I could rope everything off. They had a lot of connectors in there where I could just tie a rope any place I wanted. It worked out great. On the last day, I had a dispute on a bill and the lady from Florida went through my bills. She said, “Well, can I call you back?” because there was some type of discrepancy with mine.

    I made my reservation with PODS over the phone and everything was all sorted out and went smoothly. I got two large containers and it really wasn’t enough and we were running out of time because our house was sold really fast and we needed to get out of there. So we wound up moving some of our furniture over to our realtor’s house that was nearby. If I had a genie granting wishes, I would have the large POD be a little larger. I got the 16 feet and 18 or 19 would have been better. But the containers were well made and the method of moving the containers was well thought out, and drivers of the trucks that picked up and delivered the containers seem well trained and professional.

    There is also one other thing. The place we moved to is a condo and they have very strict covenants and rules, and I didn’t realize this until I was already there. There’s some fine print that specifies that moving trucks cannot stay for more than a day. So when you’re moving in, if the truck comes in the morning, it’s got to be gone by that night. As it turned out, I have two large PODS and I had the POD delivered in my driveway. And the thing that I liked about the POD is I can unload it myself at my pace. It took a week to unload the first POD, and ten days for the second POD which contains some very heavy equipment. The good news for me was I didn’t violate any regulations because they didn’t think to include PODS as a delivery vehicle. And if that vehicle was a vehicle, not a POD, I’d have been paying penalties for every day after the first day.

    PODS was first-class. I chose them for their reputation and they did a cross-country move for me from Alabama to Florida. I got their largest container and it worked out fine but I could've used one a little bit bigger. Nevertheless, I had an unbelievably good experience all the way through the whole project. They charged me exactly what they said they were gonna do and they did exactly what they said. They were on time, too. The people who delivered the containers were very congenial and very polite. They made sure that they got it exactly where I wanted it. And the same way when they delivered it - it was outstanding. I also had to call and change a delivery date once and they worked with me. I don't have any complaints at all. I would recommend them to family or anybody.

    PODS was much cheaper than a regular moving truck, or even if I hauled it down myself. If I rented a U-Haul and drove it for 1,100 miles towing a car, PODS would cost the same without the insurance, paying for gas and me driving for 2 days towing a car. So I got an 8x16 container which they had to pick up and move to Florida from Jersey.

    The whole experience was fairly easy, and I didn’t have any trouble with it. They called me two days before to verify when I wanted it, then people came, I showed them where to put it, and that was it. Same way on the receiving end. The driver was very courteous, accommodating, and knew what they were doing, and how to handle their equipment. Everything was on schedule. It just went very well. They were also very in-tune with what works for the customer. They weren’t due to pick the container up for two days after they dropped it off here in Florida. I called them back later the same day and asked them if they could pick it up tomorrow, and they even came back later that day and were able to pick it up. I’m very impressed with their operation.

    I called PODS and spoke to somebody and scheduled. Their rep gave me all the breakdowns in prices and a lot of different options because I didn’t know where to start. He helped me with what size of pod I needed so that was right on the money. It wasn’t too big or small. He also recommended that I hire a crew and I ended up using those guys and they were great. He also worked with me to schedule pick-up on the same day, which he said was difficult sometimes but he was able to work that out. The rep was really helpful and the process was very easy.

    When we moved stuff out the first time, I rented a truck and that was a pain in the neck. Using PODS was a lot easier. We were moving from Chicago to Post Falls, Idaho and we just loaded our stuff up and had PODS deliver it. It cost almost the same amount considering the expenses for gas, hotel, etc so it was very competitively priced. I booked with them online and it went smoothly. We filled everything out and they called me to verify some of the information. The driver was very nice and very helpful. He told me how to pack it to make it a better load. Also, they came out when they said they would for the pickup. Then they delivered our container on time and put it exactly where we wanted it.

    We got a container from PODS for both moving and storage because of brand recognition. I did not want to rent a storage garage somewhere that was fixed in place and pay somebody to move all my stuff out of my house into that, and then have to pay the same to get my stuff delivered to me. PODS offered the service that I needed and the container was dropped off to our old house but when we got it, we had not yet purchased a new home so it was in storage for about a month and then delivered to our new house.

    Booking online was pretty straightforward though there was one point when I needed to make a change on the dates and it wasn't really clear how to do that. I didn't know if I would have been able to do it online or not, but I ended calling in to re-arrange that. But it wasn't a big deal. Then I was told they didn't need me to be there during the pick-up and the drivers always called ahead and give warning. I don't work very far from where the delivery took place so I just met them there to make sure that they put the container exactly where it was supposed to be. They also called to make sure that everything was above board and we were happy with the service. I didn't have any troubles and my experience with PODS worked out pretty well.

    This company is ridiculous. I rented two pods storage in July. I paid my bill every single month. When it came time for a 200 mile move in January, Pods needed a weeks advance notice and my Pods were both delivered a day later than scheduled. I was charged well over $2000 for this service and was told that the Pods fees would be pro rated and would stop upon pick up. We unloaded the pods the day they were delivered and I called to schedule a pick up and they had to have two days notice to come back and pick up the empty containers. They charged me to drop off containers in both locations and pick up in both locations, plus $99 for each empty pod to be picked up and when I called to schedule both pick ups, the customer service agent only scheduled for one of my Pods containers to be picked up. I had to wait another two days for them to pick up my second pod.

    Pods put my account on Auto Pay without my consent. I feel like they nickel and dimed me, plus they gave me the run around in billing and said stuff like, "Your credit paid for next months rental and you will not get your refund until we pick up your containers." and "Send me your bank statement and let me see where you were charged that fee on your card." and "We will call and see if the driver can pick up the second container today. It all depends upon how busy he is." Next time I will just rent a truck and move myself and use a regular storage unit.

    I thought PODS has gotta be easier than packing up a U-Haul and going across the country. PODS' reps were very helpful and gave me everything I needed as far as cost and how long I could have the POD to pack it up. I had it delivered on a Saturday and they assured me that they'd be there Monday to pick it up. My friend and I stood and watched because we were very curious to know how the whole thing works. They were friendly and accommodating until I got to Iowa.

    I did not have an address when I moved out here. I was going to be staying with my granddaughter until I found a place. PODS wanted me to give them a ZIP code of where I was gonna be living, and I said I didn't know where that is. They asked what would be the closest to me and I gave them my daughter's address which was in the Waterloo area. When I finally got my apartment and called them to bring my POD up, they told me they couldn't do so because it was out of their service area which was not good. I said, "You have my furniture. Now what am I supposed to do?"

    The guy I talked to the first day just said sorry. He added that I could come down to see the Rapids and pick it up and then take it back to my place. That was a possibility but it sounded like a lot of work that I really didn't plan on. The second day, the young gentleman I talked to really went to bat for me. He explained to me that he spoke to the supervisor, and made it possible for this one-time only so that they could bring the POD up to my apartment in Waverly. Overall, when it came down to the end of it, PODS was a good experience all around. It was a more leisurely way to do things.

    I needed a little storage prior to the move and then the move was to complete it and there was storage after that. I went online and got a couple of numbers but I like to talk to people because sometimes their answer will generate another question and I like the conversation. I wound up calling and talking to PODS several times in getting everything arranged. I needed two pods total, so after the first one was loaded up, I had that in storage, and then as I worked to get my property ready and emptied out, I ordered the second pod. So in calling and talking to someone I was able to make sure they understood what I needed and they would tell me what my options were. And so it worked out better that way. PODS gave me the flexibility of the pods staying in my driveway and so I’m able to load it up and then have them pick it up and then store it for me. Then when I get ready for it to be delivered, I call them up and they deliver it.

    When I first got in the pod and I started loading the stuff up, I noticed that everything is picked up from the bottom and lowered on the back of the truck. I had a little thinking about it but then again, they are the professionals and I didn’t let it bother me too much. The drivers were very nice and courteous people. The one who picked it up, it turned out to be the same person that drops off the first and second one. Then the person that dropped the pods out to our home here where I relocated to was a very nice person too. I would recommend PODS and if I had to, I would use them again. When I was getting ready to move, a neighbor about three houses down from my house around the corner had just sold their home and they were looking to move out of state also. She came over and saw the pod in my lot in my driveway and she asked me about it and she wound up going with PODS also.

    I booked pod container in Rochester NY. Everything went smoothly from scheduling, to drop off at my home to pick up and storage of the container in Greece NY. The container was due to be delivered to Virginia in a few months. When it came time for delivery in Virginia, I scheduled it out so that I could have assistance with moving heavy items, a vehicle and have the time off of work to do so. The night before delivery (4:45 pm to be exact) I received a call stating that the container would be arriving a day later. (not due to weather) After multiple calls, the effort to change things was fruitless. I placed 4 separate calls. Although everyone was polite, absolutely no one was able to give me a status as to where the truck was en route or when it may show up. I lost my reserved truck, my help and to add insult to injury, PODS charged my credit card the full move amount PLUS the storage fee for NY BEFORE I was in receipt of my items.

    After multiple follow up calls (me to them) their Logistics dept finally got back to me with regard to a credit. I received a call January 16th stating there would be a $100 credit for the "inconvenience". As of today, February 2nd, there is still nothing. Another phone call to PODS and another wait with no resolution. Once they have your money, the customer service goes to zero. Unfortunate because up until the container move, I would have rated them a 9/10. Now, I would not use them again and their rating would be a 2.

    The reason this website exists is so people like me can share the truth with people who read this. There has been no service company as disastrous as PODS in over 20 years of personal and professional contracting of vendors for logistics, storage and transport. We had issues with every step of their "simple" process... Incorrect equipment to pick-up the pod (snow in the northeast was a problem); updated information on our pod (no replies or info available as promised); zero customer service skills (rep called to help us and had not even seen our contract); escalation to executive management (COO is George - useless); non-existent compensation or the courtesy of call backs (even the Presidents office ignores our repeated calls for help). The bottom line is that entrusting any personal or professional belongings to this company is a huge mistake.

    The founder has a lot of nerve operating the way he does - what goes around comes around and your success is only as good as your last customer. As a result of PODS incompetence, unaccountably absent service, my girlfriend's father, 87, suffered such anxiety over his move from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles that we needed to seek medical attention. They fully took advantage of a senior citizen. Also, our family Christmas festivities were ruined by PODS because they showed up on Christmas eve day and dumped a Pods outside our day without any notice... I could go on and on...

    We booked with PODS for moving and storage and we did it online. Then we ended up having to call to change the date which was something we couldn't do online. Everything was perfect with the rep who we spoke with. We booked the smaller container but it ended up being too small. But it was our mistake, not theirs. In fact, everybody from their end was great.

    We were moving out of my parents' house to a new house and PODS' setup where we could slowly move things in and out worked well for us. Also, I wasn’t familiar with any other places that could keep the items at their location while we were moving. I booked the pod online for drop-off, but I called to confirm the move because I wasn’t sure if I had done it correctly online. The reps were so nice, checked what I did online and told me I was right. The process was ridiculously easy. We availed of their 16-foot pod and got the storage service. Afterward, they moved the pod and a couple of weeks later, they took the pod away.

    I was really impressed with how professional, pleasant and timely the entire service was. The guy who dropped the pod off, the guy who picked it up and moved it, and the guy who came to pick it up when it was empty were so nice. They were phenomenal. The drivers were right on time and they called me when they were close, so we could be there. The guy who dropped the pod off explained to us how it works. The guy who picked up the pod and moved it to our new house told me that the diagram my husband drew on how he wanted it set down was helpful.

    I asked the last guy who picked up the empty container if there was anything I can do ‘cause I had such a good experience. I’m in customer service, too, so I know 99% of the time that if people have a good experience, they don’t say anything. I wanted to make sure that there was some kind of follow-up. I got an email survey and I made sure I filled that out. Overall, it was a seamless experience.

    We had PODS storage that moved across the United States and everything went well. It was convenient for us because it was my uncle's place and he had just died so we had to get the stuff out fast. We live on the West Coast while he lived on the East Coast so we needed a solution to do that and it was really easy to do that with the PODS. I started booking online and when I got to a certain point, I then called the number and the lady stepped me through and set it up. I got the 16-foot container and the size was great. The carrier driver was very courteous, really nice, and we talked a little bit much about the whole process.

    We needed to figure out what we're gonna do for moving. We had a three-week gap in between our moving from one location to the next. A moving truck wouldn't have been the option because we would've had to pack all our things, unpack it, repack, then unpack again. We were looking for a system wherein we can put all our things in one place, then unpack it once.

    There was a company, but they were a much smaller company. They didn't have the flexibility, and their prices weren't comparable. I went back and forth with PODS through calls a bunch of times and had eight million questions, but they were very cool with it. Also, when I booked, there's an automated system at the beginning of the phone call, but I could talk to someone. I did all of booking through a person, which was nice. PODS also gave me good estimates of how much stuff I have from what my house looked like and how many pods I needed, and this is all through the phone. We rented two 16-foot pods. They had to bring the first pod, pick that up, bring the second one then pick that too. The timing of everything was crucial for us as we're doing everything.

    We had contact with the driver that came in Philadelphia because we had to make sure we reserved the space on the street even though we have a "No Parking" sign. The driver was dropping off both containers in our driveway and we didn't have to be there. However, it was raining, and the driver said, "It depends on how your driveway is. If my equipment goes in the grass, it gets stuck. We're not calling a tow truck, so I might only be able drop off one." At first this is seriously gonna be a really big pain in the butt, and I'd rather not dig up my whole front yard. It all worked out really well, though.

    They gave us a four-hour window for delivery but they were out of that window by two hours. It was also annoying because I had some people there to help me and their comment was I shouldn't hire my movers the same day my pods are being delivered. Maybe that's not a lot of time for somebody, but to me is it. It wasn't what I wanted to hear at that moment. I get that, first, the four-hour window is an estimate and not a guarantee, and second, when the driver got here, he said he got stuck in traffic and Philadelphia is insane. However, I was frustrated because I had to take a whole day off work when I could have just taken a half day, but we really don't have an estimated time on when the pods are gonna come. Those things happen though, and other than that, I can't complain about anything else. Overall, every person I talked to was really professional and helpful.

    I was moving to Texas and got two 16-footers and a 12-footer from PODS. I needed them to pick up stuff and deliver it. I was trying to get PACK-RAT earlier but whenever I tried to call them to get information, I was always put on hold and had to wait hours to find somebody whereas PODS picked up right away. I booked over the phone and when I call, I get somebody and they would take care of me. I had to follow up because somebody didn’t put something in and I had to have it re-put in.

    The containers are fine but the newer containers are a lot better than the older ones. The only trouble is that I would recommend people to definitely not pack to the very end of their pod and to put a huge cardboard to keep their boxes from shifting forward because it takes a hard time to open up the door that goes upward. But the drivers were always friendly and helpful and would check for information if I wanted to ask them stuff. They came on the night they were scheduled to come, picked the pods up when they were scheduled to pick them and delivered them when they were supposed to deliver them. It was a very good experience.

    I got PODS for moving and storage service. I had a positive interaction with the rep and I got the largest size container. The container was a little bit old and leaked a little bit but it worked fine. I stored my stuff in it for about three or four months after I moved it and the roof leaked a little bit of water inside, but it didn't damage anything. Another issue was that I had some things broken because a couple of things fell. The temperature difference between Charlotte and Seattle made the plastic warp for a lot of my plastic tubs in the pod. But overall I was very happy with them.

    My wife and I decided to get a divorce, so I moved to Florida, and she moved to Washington, D.C. In the divorce, I got the house. I left first; she left second, so it wasn't a full house move. My wife took a couple of things but there were things that I wanted to keep. And since I'm in an apartment down here, I didn't have any place to deal with it. My daughter who lives in Boston said that she has a basement that I could use, plus she could use some of these really expensive items that we had. All I got to do was get those stuff up there, and I decided to use PODS because they’re not that expensive, as opposed to getting a bigger moving thing and all of that.

    At first, I figured it was going to be less expensive so we went with PODS. But as it turned out, it was very expensive. The person that decided that they were going to rent me the pod said that they can only send me the biggest one that they’ve got. According to their website, they got three different sizes and they said they're going to send me the biggest one because that's what they had. So, I paid them extra money because of the size of the pod, although the smaller one would have been sufficient. The container was safe, though. I didn't see any issues with it, except for the size. Everything inside was fine, but it was way too large.

    The only thing that I didn't like about the experience was that they determined that I needed a bigger container. The service side went great. I happened to be going up to my daughter in Boston for Thanksgiving, and they delivered the pod on time. I was in Florida so I hired a handyman to put everything into the pod and he got it all done. PODS then picked it up very efficiently and had it shipped there. In fact, it arrived the day that I arrived, so I was able to help them to unpack it. And then the day I left, PODS picked it up. It was done very efficiently and I was very impressed with the service. That gets an A+ in my opinion.

    We were moving from Tucson to Portland. We shopped around and for what we needed, PODS was convenient because we could keep our stuff in the pod instead of having to put it in a truck, take it up to a storage unit and put it in another storage unit. PODS then picked up and stored our pod for a year then delivered it. The PODS reps on the phone were great. The only bump we ever had is when they changed the billing system and we got charged early. Then also, the first rep led us to believe that the pod was gonna be able to handle stuff from our three-bedroom home but it wasn't. We ended up leaving all the beds and bookcases.

    The container was not big enough but was in great shape. Both of the drivers were very sociable and represented the company well, too. I liked them a lot.

    I had a bad moving experience hiring movers so I wanted more control over the situation by hiring my own packers and keeping things local. Also, being able to take my time with the loading was very good. I got the PODS' site through USAA and I got a discount. I started my booking online but I realized I had to call for a long distance. Their reps were very understanding especially when I had to change the delivery and pickup a couple of times. They were very nice, patient and they accommodated me.

    I had an 8x16 pod delivered. I loaded it and I wasn't leery of putting my things in it. It was very sturdy and clean. They took it to another state and the guy that delivered it was very meticulous about how they lifted and put the pod in the truck. I was confident with the way they behaved and the way the container behaved. They answered all my questions too and they were very considerate when they arrived. They asked about obstacles and I didn't realize that the pine tree was close to the driveway, where they had to deliver it. They were very nice about that and they moved around it. They put the pod down the way I wanted it. I didn't keep it a full month, but it was good. I would recommend PODS. They gave me a secure move.

    I went online to get PODS phone number then I called them to book a pod to be used for moving and storage. I spoke with a representative who was friendly and courteous. I got the big container and it was a good size, taking up half the driveway. The first time I saw it, I thought it was too big. But it turned out it wasn't enough. It's a dud deal. The drivers were friendly though. They accommodated me and took care of whatever I asked. I had a good relationship with them. My container was put in a storage place for a while then I notified PODS when I was ready to have it delivered and they delivered it. They gave me about an hour notice so we're in the vicinity. I was satisfied with the way everything was handled.

    We ordered a pod for a few weeks for storage use. We knew PODS was good because we have always seen their commercials and ads. My coworker ordered it through a combination of online and phone contact. It was for a few weeks. The pod was 8x10 and had three panels. The driver who dropped it off and the driver who picked it up were fine. It was an interesting situation because where they delivered the pod wasn't a typical address as it didn't have an address so we had to coordinate with the driver and meet him on-site for him to leave it. Our experience was good.

    I heard good things about PODS so when I needed both moving and storage services, I decided to book with them online and finished it over the phone. I got three large pods and everything was secure inside. However, they must have dropped one of the pods because a lot of stuff came out broken when I took them out of one of the pods. But everything else was perfect in the other two pods so I let it go. Everything else was superior. Every single person, whether that was the call in or the people that were delivering or picking up, were extremely nice. They did what I thought they would do and I got treated really well. It's a good company so going with them was a good decision for me.

    PODS had a good price and the storage that we needed, and moved to where we needed to move to. I started online and then they referred me to call a representative. Everybody was very pleasant and efficient. We got a 16-footer and it was a good experience. The drivers were very accommodating. When they came to our old home, they were great at placing the container where we wanted it. Then when they came to our new home, particularly since it was just brand new sod that was put down, they gave a lot of advice as to where they should put it and make sure that nothing was going on the sod. They were excellent. Everything was handled very well and we had a very good interaction with them. I would highly recommend them.

    We've seen the PODS around in people's yards so we decided to call them. They delivered a POD to our old house, picked up the POD, put it in storage for a few months until our new house was built, then delivered the POD so we could unload it and then they took it away. The representative in California walked us through every step of the POD, from the warehouse to our house. Also, the girl in the WA office was spot on with all of her stuff and it went very smoothly.

    However, the customer service rep in Oregon was difficult to deal with. We weren't told that they wouldn't deliver and pick up on the same day so we had to get permission from our homeowner's association to leave the POD in the driveway for two extra days so that until they could come back on Monday and pick it up. That took some time and some letters and getting approval. We booked online and talked to the people on the phone and made the reservation. Then that didn't get passed on to the office in Portland. They just went, "Oh, well, we don't do that." We already had movers coming and everything to load them so that was a big shuffle in trying to get everybody else's schedule redone.

I had our container delivered to the house I was leaving and taken to the house I moved into. The move seemed to have gone fine. When we left the house, the pod was sitting in the driveway and when we got to the new house, it was sitting in the driveway. The container was clean and it worked well. It was the right size so all went according to plan. The guy who dropped it off was delightful. While he was doing his job, he and I chatted a little bit.

    I had to store some things for about three months because we were moving. We put our house up for sale and I needed to run down the contents so we could have it showing well. I had seen the PODS in many places so I went online and saw what the rates were. I was able to arrange it all really easily online myself. And they also got helpers to help us load the pod. I had a 16 foot container, which is the biggest one that they had here in the Cincinnati area. But I wish I could’ve known that I should have scheduled the pick up when I was doing everything else. But once I had it loaded, I called to have them pick it up and they couldn’t come right away. So it sat on our driveway for three or four days.

    But then they came and they stored it at a remote location here in the Cincinnati area and we paid for that storage. And then I asked them to bring it back to my new house after we built our house and moved. They brought it in and my crew came the next day and unloaded it. And this time I had it arranged for pick up, so I had that done pretty quickly. The drivers were very friendly and professional. It was very cool to watch how the thing loads and unloads with their equipment.

    I got a pod to move my whole apartment from Texas to Maryland, and this is my second interaction with PODS. I used them when I moved from Maryland to Texas a year ago, since I didn't have an apartment at the time and it was the easiest way to get all my stuff to Texas and keep them stored until I had one. I had a good experience then so when I decided to move back, I wanted to use PODS again. I also like the idea of having all my stuff completely mine with my key to lock it up with, unlike if I picked a regular mover to move across the country, and they would pack me on a truck with another house or apartment. In fact, I did that several years back and lost some stuff.

    When I booked them, not only was the rep helpful and nice, but he also gave me a discount, and that made me even happier. It would have been better if I got the 12-foot container that I wanted, but they removed those for cross-country and is now just for local stuff. So I got the big, 16-foot container which was my only choice, but I could have jammed everything into a smaller one. Nonetheless, it was great. They are big, clean, and perfectly rectangular, so the items were easy to pack all the way to the top. They're also waterproof, so they don't leak and cause any damage to my stuff. I locked it down and need not worry about anybody getting into it.

    When they arrived, the containers had already been cleaned out, ready for the next person. It's something they asked me to do as well, to sweep the container. I start out with a new, clean one each time, and that's what I turn back in. It's also very convenient because they can drop the pod off even if I'm not around. Although it's not advisable because I usually want to put it somewhere specific and they can come and get it anytime without me there. So once I'm done sweeping it out, I can go on about my business and they'd do the rest.

    Their drivers were very nice. They called about 10 minutes out and told me when they were almost at the destination. When they had trouble finding the specific place where they were supposed to put it, they called as they were approaching, so I directed them and they were really cooperative. At one point I asked if they can do something, and the driver said, "That's not enough room, but I can do that."

    Also, when I got to where I was moving, there was only a specific place in my apartment building where they could put the container and in order to do that, I had to get a permit from the city. I also needed to have a phone number of the people who were going to drop the container off, including their location and the contact person on my permit. But all went very smoothly and the people from PODS were really helpful. They gave me everything I needed. I would recommend PODS if a person has the same set of needs as mine. It's cheaper than a moving truck with movers. I also had a friend who lives in Little Rock and a hurricane came through that tore up his house, and while they were rebuilding, they got a pod for all their stuff. He was the one who suggested getting a pod because he had a great experience being able to keep his stuff safe.

    PODS is a reputable company and have their logistic down based on the level of experience and the number of years they've already been doing business. I thought it would be more efficient to use knowing that they have facilities between the two locations I was moving so I went straight to them. I tried to book online but I only got part way through the form when I decided to call someone. I ended up getting a quote over the phone and I had a pleasant and very straightforward interaction with the person I spoke to. They recommended a size but I later opted down to a different size. Luckily, the second person I spoke to recommended that I stick to the first size. I misinterpreted the lingo online and so I was grateful that they clarified the dimensions for me.

    The container was clean, sturdy enough, and virtually sound. The gentleman who brought the container to our final location and then picked it up was very pleasant to work with. He knew what he was doing and he worked quickly. It was efficient and there were no hiccups. There were minor damages to the furniture but that's just how it's gonna be with a move across the country.

    We used PODS because we had a temporary housing and we're looking for a home in a different state. When I researched PODS online, websites said the customer service was awful but I didn't experience that. However, When I was setting up the move I didn't understand why one person would tell me I could use whatever location but then when I went to actually set it up and I had a different representative, they told me I can't choose my location and it has to go to a specific one. The storage ended up being about half an hour to 45 minutes away. It didn't matter either way, but I thought that was a little odd.

    Also, they're expensive. As far as storage for monthly, if I had to do it all over again, I would just get one truck -- movers on the front end and backend instead of a storing unit for $50. In addition, my contract started on the 17th of July and we bought our home on the 18th, but they couldn't do anything about the storage charge for that one day. I was not happy about having to pay for a full month.

    But other than that, the carrier driver was phenomenal on both ends. The driver in Richmond brought the pod and told me that it was for local use and that he needed to get me one that's gonna go across state lines. He apologized and he was so nice about it. He came back within 45 minutes, dropped it in my driveway -- no problem. On the second drop, after the storage and when we moved into our home in Maryland, I had originally asked for them to put it on the street. We haven't even bought the house yet. We were signing the papers. Right after the walk-through, the neighbor came out and said "We're not happy about the placement of it." I asked the driver, being nice and courteous, if he could move it into our driveway. He did it with no problem and it ended up working very well.

    PODS was a recommendation from my brother because he has used it in the past and said he liked it. I tried booking PODS online, for moving purposes, and I got the 7-foot container. But then, I had to go on the phone with them to get the pod unit to Hawaii in the timeframe that I needed and because of the shipping part of the container. Because of the distance, I had to book the pod about six or seven months in advance. So if one is booking for the pod, especially going from Hawaii to the mainland, one has to give a few months leeway, because of the way the shipping goes from the mainland to Hawaii and back again.

    But the representative was very nice, knowledgeable and gave me the estimated time and price. I wasn't available when they picked up the container from the storage unit that I had and they said it was okay that I wasn't there. Then, on the other side when they delivered the container, it was my brother who was there and he said the driver was very nice. Overall, it was a very convenient experience.

    I had used PODS in the past and was very satisfied. I like the concept. It's so much easier than trying to move things to and from a storage building. You can just have it delivered to you. And it's very simple to order online. They've provided me storage for seven months. I did two of the 16-foot containers. I started out with one in April and then needed another one by August. We were building a house and so we were trying to thin out our old house and get it ready for sale. The 16-foot was the best bargain in size and all the way around. The drivers were extremely excellent, very courteous and professional.

    I used PODS' moving services due to the convenience and their price. I requested for an eight by eight container. It has a wooden floor, metal sides, and plastic top, and everything was good and safe. My container was moved efficiently. I'm very impressed. If we sell the house too fast I might use them one more time to send the last stuff so it’s very doable.

    We used the services of PODS for both moving and storage. We called and booked two large, 16-footer pods. The containers were fine. The representatives were very helpful and friendly. The drivers were on time and very professional, and always called before they came. They came and dropped the pods off, and I filled these up, and they picked these up real fast. The pods were stored for about five weeks, and then they dropped these off at our new house. Everything went smoothly. I would use PODS' services again if I had to.

    I had three PODS delivered and picked up because I was moving. They were 16 footers. Everything was good when we opened them. Dealing with the drivers who picked up the containers were all great. They delivered and picked up on time. They called half hour before they came so there were no surprises which was good. They did their job and put the containers where I wanted them. I would recommend PODS to anybody that needed to move.

    I had my household goods stored and moved from California to Massachusetts. I was buying a house at the other end and didn't know where I was going to live yet, so I left it stored in San Jose until I found a home. I called PODS to check and make sure that the container would be big enough. I needed some help estimating that and ended up going with the biggest one. I got the 8x8x16 white container with red PODS lettering on the outside. I would have picked a slightly bigger one if I had a choice, but that was the biggest one they had.

    I had the container delivered to a fairly narrow driveway and they were very careful with moving it in and out throughout my neighbor's fence. However, there were two hiccups. One was when it was picked up. The driver got behind because they were supposed to come between certain hours but they didn't. They ended up coming a couple of hours later, and it was dark. I had some concerns for the power lines in front of my driveway and wanted to make sure that they would be able to see, so I just stood outside with a flashlight up on the wires so they could see them. The other hiccup was some of my stuff had slid, so they had difficulty getting the door opened after it arrived. We had to use three people to pull on the door to get it back up. But apart from those, I was happy with PODS and I would definitely use them again. I highly recommend them for moving needs.

    When I drive around in our neighborhood, I see a lot of PODS storage containers. Evidently, if they're doing a lot of business, they must be pretty good. The people I spoke with at PODS were absolutely wonderful. They took time and seemed very knowledgeable. It was a very good experience. I took the larger container. We were downsizing, and I used them to store my furniture first at my house for about a month until we got ready to show our house. I had PODS pick it up and put it in storage. Afterwards, I brought it back to our house so that our mover could just move it all.

    I understand that I could have had them deliver it to our new home, but I thought it would be a lot easier to consolidate it at our house and do it. Also, I saved a little bit of money because it would be $500 to do that with PODS. The experience was easy and smooth. Additionally, there was one time we went out to their storage facility because we needed to look for some paintings, and they handled that professionally as well. They got the pod out and let us look and there was no charge for that.

    The PODS reps were very good and they answered all my questions very clearly. They were very punctual even the night before. They informed me exactly when they were coming and they called 15 minutes before they came. They were really on top of things and I didn't have to move an inch of all the stuff that was in the container. They were also very careful in transporting it. I would rate them excellent.

    We had both the POD moving and storage services. We had two PODS that they put at our house that we moved from back in June and then they all stored them up until towards the end of the year. Their website was fine but then we also talked to the local PODS franchise here. We talked to the manager a couple of times who followed up to make sure the service was good. And then there were a couple of snafus - no fault of anybody else but he followed up again to make sure that they were corrected and handled appropriately. I had nothing but high praise to say about their facility here in Birmingham.

    I sold my house and was building another one so I used PODS to temporarily store my stuff. I booked online and their website was easy to use. They called ahead of time to find where I was and they made sure I was ready. They were great, professional, and nice. The local guy in Albuquerque was easy to work with. They were able to take care of some stuff for me, and they followed up on some issues we had. However, the statements that I get in the mail are hard to follow and understand. When I got them I couldn't tell if I owed money or if it was a receipt for payment. Also, they never changed my address correctly on them. But I just pay online anyway.

    Our aunt was in an assisted-living facility in Santa Cruz, California and decided to move closer to her family in Utah. It made more sense to use PODS as opposed to a truck for the move. She might have to load and not get access to her things for weeks because it was going to be combined with a couple of other loads. PODS seemed like it met all of the timeframes that we needed to accomplish. We did the booking online which was relatively easy and got their 16-foot container. We barely got the stuff in.

    When we talked to the PODS reps on the phone, they answered all our questions. The drivers called us when they were down there. The facility itself was not easy to get into, but it worked itself out. Going with PODS was a pretty hassle-free way to do the move. We didn't experience any delays except for the weather in Salt Lake City, but that's not PODS' fault. It was a seamless experience and we're glad we made the choice with them. We used Pack & Load as a subsidiary service and everything went smoothly. Everybody delivered in the time they said they would. A TV that might have gotten some damage to it but we filed a claim 'cause we had the insurance.

    I rented three pods from PODS and they put my things in storage for a few months until my house is finished building. They were the only local company and they said that they would pick up the container and drop it off for me. I called to book with them and it went very well. They said there was one in the local pod area in 45th Street, and I was en route to my work and I stopped by one morning. The gentleman there was awesome and he referred me to the girl in his office. I got three 16-foot containers and it fit what I needed them for.

    I've used PODS twice and did my booking online and on the phone and had a really good experience with them. Recently I used them to store my furniture. PODS only has 12-foot and 16-foot containers. At that time, I got the 16-foot one to put all our furniture. It was enough for what I needed it for. Their customer service was good and when I asked for a statement, they were fast in giving it to me. I'm very happy with PODS. If I have to get another container or store my furniture, I would definitely go with them again. I would recommend them.

    I used PODS for moving and storage as I thought it would be a lot easier to load the pod and have it stored, rather than me loading up a moving truck and taking it to a storage facility. I got the 16-footer container and all the interior items fit fine in it but there wasn't enough room for the patio furniture, which I expected. I called their reps to let them know when they'll pick up and deliver the container and I didn’t have any problem with that. The drivers were friendly at both ends too, when they picked up the container and when they delivered it to my new location.

    We were moving from one house to another and we also needed storage, so we needed PODS' services. I did the booking online. It was really easy and convenient. In fact, I continued to do it because it was easy to understand and it was easy to schedule a drop-off and a pickup. I looked on the website and I then requested for a medium-sized container. It said that I needed two of those sizes and I should’ve gone with two, but we had a place at my parents’ to store some stuff, so it worked out perfectly. The container seemed safe and sturdy and in good condition. We needed the container for storage, so they sent it to the facility, stored it, and then brought it to our new house.

    The driver was really nice. He explained the best way to fill the container and make it even on all the sides and stuff like that. My husband and I had no idea, and he was helpful in explaining how to pack it. And then, they just came and picked the container up, which I liked as well because I liked not having to answer the door or anything like that. The whole thing was really good. The driver talked to us when he needed to and didn’t when not needed, which I liked.

    The only time I needed to call in was to make sure that they were going to automatically take my payment out and what time of the month that was. It was really smooth. The customer service representatives were really helpful and answered all my questions. The online stuff was really easy to follow. Our overall experience was easy and convenient.
