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.

Our experience with PODS went well, was very convenient, and we didn't have any problem. It was a little pricey but overall a very good experience. Instead of renting a moving truck, we got their services for moving and storage since we're moving to a far location and we needed to store our stuff temporarily. I booked them over the phone, got the biggest container that is the 16-foot, and my interactions with their reps were fair. I talked to a couple of different people and they were very helpful. The drivers who came to pick up the container called, came on time, did what they said, and I didn't have any problems. Then we were concerned because we didn't think the driver would be able to put the container on the side that we needed but then he figured out a way to do that so that was nice. Everything went smoothly, which rarely happens, so it's great. I had to call CS a few times with questions but they resolved everything over the phone.

I was needing storage and I saw PODS around in the neighborhood and it looked like the right size. I got a 7-foot pod and the driver did a good job. He came when he said he would deliver and pick it up. Also, I felt that my belongings were safe and it worked fine. It was a very good experience.

PODS is an easy and turnkey service. It's good to use when people are going to do something but they don't know how long they're going to use the storage. We have used them before and I got them again to store my mother's stuff since we had to move her from her house into an assisted living. The driver was a nice guy. He showed up on time both when he delivered the container and picked it up. I wasn't there when he picked it up, but when he delivered it he called and told me he was on his way and he put the container where we wanted it.

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.
We are very sorry about this. Please send us a private message with your customer ID, so we can help you get this resolved.

We've used PODS before and they were very efficient and their pricing was right too. We used them again for storage and my husband booked over the phone. We got the largest, which is the 16-foot, that would sit on my driveway. We could have gotten away with a little smaller one but we didn't know that at the time. The driver was on time and good. It was amazing to watch him put the container down. The PODS people were very polite and we had no difficulties whatsoever. Everything happened just like it was supposed to.

PODS was very good and I would recommend them. I needed a storage while we were having a house built. I went online and I heard about the discount that PODS had. I called them and booked with a gentleman. However, he wasn't able to answer why I was not able to get the discount because it said on the website that if I were over three months that I could get the discount but I it was never offered to me. They said it was in Arizona, but I found it odd because the website was the nationwide one. Also, the accounting was confusing and I had to phone a couple of times to ask them about it. But the lady that helped me out was good.
The driver that picked up the pod was excellent and personable, and our container was gone in the morning. But the driver that came to pick up the container after we moved in was horrible. He was rude to my husband, arrogant and disinterested in his job. He said the pod wasn't clean while it only had a string in it and a piece of paper.

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... Just hire someone else, they are a complete nightmare and have done nothing to redeem themselves or take responsibility. I hate doing this, but George should have returned our calls, emails and pleading requests for help. P - Pathetic O - Organization D - Disregarding S - Service

I was moving long distance and I got PODS because of the price and the convenience of the pod being shipped and not having to drive the truck. I got an online quote and then I finished up on the phone. The lady I spoke to was very polite, informative, and the booking process was fairly easy. I met with two of the drivers and they were polite, chatty, and nice. I got the 16-foot container and it was perfect. It arrived when they all said it would. We were able to fit everything in it. It seems sturdy, nothing broke. We also didn't have any problems dropping it off or lifting it up either time. PODS is an excellent company. A huge load off and no hassles.

I wanted the time to be able to pack and get things in the container myself so I chose PODS. I booked online and found their website easy to navigate. The man who dropped off my pod was wonderful. Everything went as expected. I always have recommended it.

I used a moving company in the past moving from California to Vegas and it was very pricey so I looked into PODS. The reps got me all the information I needed and everything was accounted for when the pods arrived. However, my things had somehow shifted towards the door during transport and I had a difficult time getting the doors open. Nothing broke and I am sure the company would have probably helped me had I opened the pods while they were there but I wasn't ready until after they left. Still, that would not stop me from recommending PODS. I was very happy with the service and the ability to store things until I had a home. That's something you can't do with a moving company. With PODS, it's on your own schedule.

I was selling my house and I want to get rid of the clutter while we're showing it, so we ordered PODS online for six months storage. The service was perfect each time. They met me, introduced me and then I showed them where I wanted it. And they were able to put it where I needed it. The first time I put it in my backyard, they were able to accommodate that and also during the second delivery to the house. They make it so you don't have to drive your rental truck away. The pod was in a very good condition. Some of the other ones were a hard side but they had extra wrap on them. The pod that I got was partitioned into four sections. So, they would have box stuff up as I packed it. I was able to pack towards the ceiling. Easy to use and I like it very much. I'd recommend them.

PODS delivered a container and it was the 12-foot size. I loaded my belongings and I still had some that didn’t fit but it was okay because they were more delicate, so I loaded them in my truck. They took it to the storage facility and were delivered to the new address.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 showed the house, sold it and brought the pod back, then unload it before moving away. My experience with PODS was mostly fine. It was a little frustrating not being able to schedule the pod deliveries whenever I wanted them. I often would go online to schedule delivery. And then, wait a little while, come back to change my mind, and all the deliveries for the day that I was considering were already gone. Also, I wish that the delivery windows were narrower, rather than something like 7 AM to 10 AM. And every time I got a 7 AM to 10 AM window, I got a 7 AM delivery.

PODS were more easily accessible than other storage companies. In fact, I got a live person to talk to and she was easy to work with and explained to me the process. She gave me the quote and when it will expire. But I had to contact the finance guy at my church before I could proceed. So then I got another gentleman after that, who worked with us as far as the size of the pod that we would need. He explained the size very well, not just the dimensions. That was better for me than trying to figure out feet-wise. The size of the POD they suggested worked perfectly. The driver contacted me and he was very clear about the certain time he will be there and he was, for both drop-off and pickup. He was very courteous and nice. I've had a satisfactory experience with PODS. They have good customer service and I would recommend them to people.

I used PODS for moving and it was very useful for me because the house I was moving into wasn't ready, and they offer storage by the month instead of by the day which was a lot easier for my situation. The driver that picked up the pod after bringing it to the house was the most amazing of the drivers. He spoke with me for instructions. The house I live in has an extra large driveway so I had to tell him to put it to the side of that driveway and he did that. He was very attentive. I stored the pod in the driveway until the house was ready and it worked out beautifully for me. It would have been nice if the container could be a bit bigger. I have a five-bedroom house so it was a lot of stuff, but the pod fit what it could fit. It was very sturdy and safe, too.

I saw PODS everywhere in our subdivision years ago when there was a hurricane here in Florida.

Everything was done through phone or the staff from PODS left me a voicemail to let me know what time the driver will be picking up the pod. I checked my checking account and when they took the money out, that was it.
I got the 7-foot pod which was plenty for me. The driver came on time to pick up the container in Michigan and he took a picture of the locks that I put on. He said I should take a picture of the serial number of the pod to make sure I get the same pod back. I did that and thought that was helpful. He picked up the pod and it was gone. We flew to Florida and they delivered the pod on the date they said they would. They called me first and told me to look for it between certain hours.

I got a pod to move my whole apartment from Texas to Maryland, and this is my second interaction with PODS.

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.

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."

Once we were out in Seattle, it was very nice being able to go out and do PODS and get some items that we needed.

I did the booking of PODS over the phone, and we had two large and one seven-footer containers. The representative that I dealt with was very helpful. But PODS forgot to tell us about taxes, so we ended up with a quite different price. The guys that picked up the containers were out of this world. They were wonderful. But it would be better if they can make a smaller window of when they're gonna come because they told us 8:30 to 11:30 and they showed up at 2:30. Other than that, everything showed up wonderful. We did not have one broken item.
It was wonderful to watch the machine in action. It was unbelievable. The machine was the first one that showed up, but they had the door at the wrong end for our driveway. We wanted it facing the garage and they had it facing out. And so, the kid took it out in the street, dropped it, turned everything around, picked it back up, and put in our driveway. He was a master at it, so we were very pleased.

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. They're very professional and the estimated time was right on time and there was no delay in either the delivery of the pod or when they picked it up and delivered it to the mainland.

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.

When I wanted to schedule the delivery, I decided I'm gonna drop back here and see if I can actually talk to a human and I did. I called them to order it and had them schedule when to drop it off. The pickup again was the problem. When I wanted it picked up, I run up on the web and told them to pick it up. But I didn't get a response that said, "Yes, we got your order." And they didn't show it on the website for a couple of days. That was the only part that I found annoying because nowadays instant responses on websites are fairly common.

I booked a 16-foot and 12-foot PODS containers for moving and storage over the phone. PODS was really the only place I found that had that convenience. All the interactions with the representatives were really great though something went wrong when I made my initial booking. They must have made some error which resulted in my pod map showing up, but it worked out okay. I called the morning they were supposed to come and they did everything they could to remedy the situation and got the pod out there within a couple hours for me. Even our interactions with the container driver were all fantastic. All the employees themselves were really topnotch.

The only two storage/moving companies that I knew of was PODS and PACK-RAT, I compared the prices, and PODS was lower in price. Then, I hired them to move from Connecticut to Florida, and booking was over the phone. Then, I had numerous interactions with their people because there were a couple of times when I had to change the pick-up and delivery dates, and they were very pleasant in doing their job for me.
I had a 16-foot container and a 7-foot container, and they were spotless and clean. Plus, the driver who delivered both of them and the driver who picked them up at the end were extremely courteous. I had always wondered how the pods got on and off the truck and once I saw how the operator did it, I was completely fascinated. He answered all the questions that I asked of him.
The only problem was that my wife had the billing problem because we had two pods that were delivered not on the same day which meant there were two different billing cycles which confused her to no end. But we got the problem all figured out and in the end, everybody was happy. If we had to do the move all over again, we would choose PODS again, the service was wonderful.

We booked a seven-foot pod online for moving and storage. The booking was easy and I went with PODS because I like the convenience of having it delivered directly to my house. Everything in the move worked out really well. The only thing was it's expensive. It would be nice if they would have some different payment options. Instead of having a monthly storage fee, they could make it a weekly fee or a bi-weekly. Because if someone rents a pod in the middle of the month and only need it for a couple of weeks, then what's the point of paying for an entire month?

My cousin and I needed delivery and from Florida to Indiana, but with an actual pod, and PODS seemed to be the only logical choice. We had to deal with six reps because of the issues, and each representative was phenomenal. I sent an email for one of the girls that helped us out originally, how good she was. But the management and the people in finance were ridiculously unaccommodating, rude, didn't care, and wouldn’t listen to what we were saying. The whole process with PODS was horrible, and the worst part of the process was the paying of my service.
My cousin had a problem because of a new credit card that wasn’t going through at the time, so I gave my credit card to pay for everything. However, PODS tried to charge his credit card 10 times. His credit card company kept calling him saying that there’s bad activity, and they can’t do this. The activity is not processed yet. He said, “I know. I keep telling them.” PODS also charged me the wrong amount twice, and it took us literally a week and a half for them to get everything figured out and correctly done. I called customer service on those issues, nobody in that time could figure out what the hell was going on and it wasn’t very hard. It’s just quit charging my card. So, that was just an absolute financial nightmare.
We originally got a 7-foot and were going to send a driver with the U-Haul with a bunch of other things. Then, there became issues anyway. We ended up having them come back, got the 7-foot and shipped the 12-foot. Nonetheless, the container was fine, clean and sturdy and the drivers were fantastic, accommodating, and just as nice as they could be. I would use PODS again but before this happens, I would make sure that everybody is on the same page.

The one thing that was where we were supposed to tie things down, could be improved upon because there were just some little small eyehook and had we actually been moving a long distance, I would have been a little concerned about the security of it. Everything else was great and we actually had items in a pod for about three months and we felt like it was secure and we weren't really worried about the weather or anything like that.
Also, they were helping my mother and she was very impressed by the courtesy of the truck driver and how polite he was. We just had the container relocated because she was moving from one apartment to another in a townhouse complex.

If we ever had to move, I'm sure we would use PODS. I'd recommend the company to anybody and say that they were really good.

I chose PODS because I wanted to keep my storage on my property instead of putting my things in storage and moving it multiple times. I tried to book online but it wasn't really working. I prefer to talk with somebody and feel it’s easier so I booked over the phone. Everyone at PODS was nice to talk to and I didn’t have any issues. It was a straightforward and easy interaction and I got the biggest container size they have. The driver who dropped and moved the POD for me was very nice, great to talk to, and easy to deal with. I was moving and remodeling so I had to hold on to the PODS for a while. It has been a pretty good experience for me.

I was going to use PODS for moving but it ended up for storage. I booked online but it looked like I had to do a certain amount of things over the phone since the website seems half-built. I wanted to schedule the rest of the drop off and delivery on the site but I had to do both of those over the phone. The guy who dropped the container off was very nice and friendly.

PODS happened to be the first one that I looked at and the gentleman I spoke with was really awesome so I decided to go with them. He told me the information I needed, was very helpful and very knowledgeable. The pod was delivered to us and we filled it. They kept it then returned it back to us once my mom and dad moved. The drivers were very friendly, did their job quick and was out of there in no time at all. The only hiccup we had was they told us that they needed 24-hours notice to deliver the pod. We told them on a Monday that we needed it by Thursday and they couldn't deliver it on that day so we had to wait until they could. But we worked it out. Overall, the experience was pretty good until the end. I'd use them again.

We used PODS for moving. At that time, they were cheaper and more convenient. I requested a 16-foot container which was the correct size for my needs. The guys delivered it and I had no problem. However, the time having it cross country was a little bit longer than I expected but it was an easy experience.

PODS offered convenience and flexibility so we used the company for moving. I called first and then did the rest of the booking online. The salesperson I talked to was lovely. She was informed, able to answer all my questions and helped me navigate because I had never used PODS before when I called. She was very helpful. The driver who dropped it off was very professional and showed me how it all worked as the container was lifted off the flatbed and dropped down. Everybody I worked with was great. And the online notifications and phone calls as far as when people are coming were great, too. I've been really happy with PODS.

I chose PODS from where I was in Texas because they offered the largest POD, the 16-foot, that I couldn't get anywhere else locally. Also, they were willing to store it in Portland until I finished remodeling. The people at the Wilsonville where my PODS were stored were outstanding, helpful and very easy to deal with. They were all very nice except for the day that I left and they were supposed to pick up the PODS.
I was halfway to Amarillo, Texas when I received a phone call from the driver saying he was ready to pick up the PODS. I said, "Fine. Pick them up." And he said, "So, there won't be anyone in the driveways?" I replied, "There shouldn't be. I've moved out and the new owner is not supposed to move in until Monday." This was a Saturday morning. Then I found out later that he didn't pick up anything. He drove by and it turned out there was a car in the driveway. I don't know if it was the new owner buying or it was somebody just looking, thinking they might wanna buy the house or something. I had no control over that. The driver was very rude. But everyone else at PODS has been very nice.

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY! They canceled my order without my authorization or notifying me and I ended up across the country in an empty apartment for two weeks. Horrible customer service, horrible company overall. Read their BBB reviews 82% negative. Don't make the mistake we made.

I sold my house so, I ordered myself a pod. I always thought they only had 12ft so I ran out of room. I ended up getting a 12ft and 7ft. Mike went out of his way because I was in tears when I thought I will have to unload the 12ft container but they’d store it until I could move into my new house. He fixed the problem. My stuff was picked up quickly so it's really good. The carrier driver was absolutely wonderful. He got the container where I needed it and positioned it correctly. I've already recommended them to my several friends. PODS repaired the problem and it ended up being a really good positive experience for me.

I moved and had storage for a month with PODS and everything was fantastic. I went with them because of how easy it was to do it with them. Everybody I've come in contact, they're nothing but professional. The only trouble I had online was when I was trying to make some changes as far as dates for it to be redelivered. After they pick it up, they store it and they are gonna deliver it to me as well but when they were gonna deliver it to me, I had to change dates and even the address and it would not let me do it online. It made me call, which may be policy procedures the way that they do it so there’s no confusion. Other than that, I didn't have any issues and they did exactly what they said they were gonna do.

I needed the flexibility of having more time, because I only had a few days to move between the closing of my house and moving to the new one. I had the pod delivered a couple of weeks before moving day to pack stuff as I went. The flexibility of having the pod there for a couple of weeks as opposed to having a truck for a weekend appealed to me. I booked online and it was simple.
I got the biggest container. They suggested that I get two, but I just went with one and it worked well. The container was a newer one and in great shape. The driver that dropped it off at my new location was also a really nice guy. I even called and changed the pickup date, a day earlier and they accommodated it. I was happy with the way it worked. I would use PODS again.

The storage and moving company I dealt with in Lexington did not travel more than 500 miles so they suggested PODS to me. I called and talked to the PODS personnel on the phone and they were excellent. PODS brought the load to Florida for us and we had a great moving experience. I've referred them to three other people since then. I recommended that people get PODS versus local companies because I felt like I had more control over my stuff and I liked that. I was very pleased with my PODS experience.

I had heard good things about PODS more than I'd heard about anybody else. I went online to reach out to them and it was difficult to get through what I needed to get done, so I called them to help me get through the next part of it and for me to ask a question. I couldn’t get the quote to come up right and had a question that it didn’t answer for me. I worked with a young lady and she was great. The drivers were nice and wonderful. They informed me what was gonna happen. It was an economical way to get the majority of my stuff across country and my experience was good. I have already recommended them to a couple of people and my uncle is using them right now.

I booked a 16 by 8 container online and had it delivered to my home. With PODS, I didn't have to move it away from the house, so I just let it sit on my driveway while we remodel the inside of our house.

The price of PODS was significantly lower than other companies. I got the 16-foot container and their rep was very helpful. The drivers who picked up the container also did an excellent job. The only problem was I noticed a bunch of tarred-like particles in the bin when it arrived and it’s taken me a while to clean them off my floor. Those were probably roadway particles that somehow got into the PODS. Otherwise, my stuff arrived in good condition and everything worked out quite well.

We had previously used PODS so we got with them again for a storage in our property while a new garage was being built. Their large container worked out very well and the driver who delivered it and picked it up was very good. The only thing I noted to him was the difficulty in opening the door. It wasn’t impossible to do but it was a little cranky. Other than that, there were no issues at all.

I wouldn't use PODS again if my life depended on it. I moved from CT to CA with a mix of personal and business stuff in the POD - business stuff I needed immediate access to upon my arrival to CA. The day I left, I was contacted saying that they were delaying delivery for a week because they hadn't received a gypsy moth form - a form no one thought to tell me about in advance.
I asked them why they hadn't told me about this before and they had no explanation. Essentially they messed up so I was the one who had to deal with it. I had to pull off the road to a Staples to print, fill out and email AND fax the form. Then they said they didn't receive it! So I had to pull off the road again to do it again! It took considerable time away from my driving schedule.
So after my arrival in CA, they can't give me a date of arrival because they don't know where my container is! I'm panicking at this point because I have clients waiting on me to resume business. They say they will check on it and get back to me. That never happened. I finally got a hold of someone today who said deliver has been delayed further!
I'm livid at this point because customer service is trying to make me feel bad for being angry about more delays! It seems unreasonable that it would take a full-time trucker two weeks to cross the country when I did it in less time and only drove 4-5 hour per day. Apparently paying these people $3500 gets you no consideration at all. You just have to sit back why they mess up time and time again, and just hope that, one day, you'll see your belongings again.

I know storage units where I can take my stuff to a storage company but what I wanted was for someone to bring a really big box to my house where I can put all my stuff in and keep it at my house. I started to book online with PODS then I called in because I was hoping to find a better offer. I ended up with the better offer after calling in and they offered me a good deal where I got three months and the fourth month will be free. The reps were incredibly helpful. I was only supposed to rent a pod for four months max and I ended up renting a pod for almost two years. I requested for the 12-foot pod and it was a little bit bigger than I needed. But it was perfect because I was able to add stuff later that I wasn't expecting or wasn't intending on adding in later.
I had bed bugs and when PODS got a container van to my house, I basically put all my stuff in the pod and let it bake for the summer. Now I'm bedbug-free and it only cost a pod. What I did in my room was I took down the dry wall then got a room unit from Mapei which ended up costing $1200. But to do my whole house would have cost $5000. So being with PODS for two years was still cheaper than having Mapei do the entire house. Also, the gentleman who brought the pod put it in this hard to reach area of my house. Despite the way that my roof and the fence were set up, he got it in this tight little fit corner. Then he remembered me two years later and said "I remember putting this pod in. I'm so happy you took the time to remember that I was the one who did this and had me come back." That's how PODS worked really well for me and it was an absolutely amazing experience all the way around. They're a wonderful company.

We used PODS because of the referrals of people that used it. Booking online was easy. We got the 12-foot PODS which is approximately seven foot high and was adequate for what we had to do. It was a little expensive but it was a good, clean unit so we were happy about that. We were also pleased with the way it was moved because it didn’t have to be tilted so it wouldn’t ruin any of our things. We had three different drivers because we moved it once before we had it taken away and they were all excellent. They had to get the container into and out of tight spots.
