We needed to store items from our home during mold remediation. We rented a POD because of our previous experience using this service. We had the POD for several months during the winter. We were very happy with the entire experience, from delivery, to use and finally pickup. This was so much better than renting a storage facility. If we needed something we had stored in the POD it was easy to just go out to the POD and get it! PODS is a game changer and massive time saver if you are remodeling, or have to temporarily move stuff out of your living space for a short period of time.
This is what we love hearing! We’re grateful for your decision to choose PODS!

This is our second time using PODS. We love how easy it is to use, and makes moving a bit less stressful especially if doing a long distance move. It’s nice to pack up all of your things and not have to think about until you arrive at your destination. Delivery drivers communicate well, and are very friendly.

It was an out of state move, and the new house did not yet have the address registered, so I really appreciated the communication from Josh on the drop off. The POD was also clean and well maintained. The roll up door was a huge help as well!

Nothing negative here. PODS is a great storage alternative when you need to act fast. The drop-off and pickup were done quickly. The unit was easy to access as needed. The driver that picked it up amazed me with how careful he was as well as skilled.

Pods was very good. I used them for moving, and the online booking process was nice and easy. I got an eight-foot container. The driver was very nice. He called me before coming to pick it up. Then, he came, he picked it up, he showed me how he's doing it. It was very nice. Then he came and another driver called me before unloading, putting it back in my apartment complex. He was so nice and he did it in a very small apartment complex. They were polite, and they knew their job very well. There were so many cars. So there are not only small or big cars, SUVs, and minivans were there. And he maneuvered everything in such a small space very nicely. They did an awesome job. It was a very nice experience.
Aren’t our drivers amazing?! We’re so grateful for them, and we’re always happy to hear when customers experience how amazing they are too! Thanks for the kind review, Shripad!

I liked my customer service person from PODS. She explained the process very well. She was very thorough. I got a small container. It was eight-foot. The driver was excellent. The delivery was fine.

BEWARE. Their 'coverage' is not real. They say one 16 foot container will hold a 3 bedroom house. What a crock. Not even close. One 16 foot container + one 8 foot container did not get all of my 2 bedroom house, and we didn't even bring any of the beds or mattresses. 16 foot container arrived at new home just fine. 8 foot container arrived with everything in it smashed. I opened a claim because the move comes with coverage. Fill out the forms. Take pictures of everything. And save everything for over a month while they deliberate. I had to reach out to them over a month later to be told, oh, we denied your claim. Very close to ten grand I spent with PODS. CROOKS. NEVER EVER AGAIN.

My employer had obtained a pod from the PODS industry and it was very successful, very nice, and they moved to Texas. So when I was planning on moving, I decided to choose PODS and it was a very nice experience.
You call them, and you ask questions about the size of the pod exactly because I need to know. I wasn't for sure exactly how much the biggest size I needed was for the furniture that I had. But they gave me the largest that they had, a 16-footer. I needed two of them, and then they gave me a quote, and that was reasonable. It was when I decided to go with them.
Because if I had to get a U-Haul and I had to hire someone and load it up and unload it and put it into storage, it would be so much more convenient for me just to have it dropped off, and I can load it up as time goes on. I wasn't in a rush. It wasn't a daily charge, which was nice. I was able to properly load my deposit at my convenience.
When I ordered the first pod, I wasn't for sure. I thought that I wasn't going to be able to load everything, so I had to order another one. When I received the second one, it was so nice because they had bars so I could hang my clothes. I could just take them out of my closet and just hang them across the bars inside. So when it was delivered several months later, I was just able to take them out and put them right into my closet at my new residence. It was very convenient for me.
Then, when you call them, they give you a time frame for when they may be coming out or when they're expected to arrive at your place. When they're 30 minutes away or to an hour, they'll let you know, and the driver will call you personally to let you know they'll be arriving, which is nice. You never have to be concerned about waiting around. They’re very prompt.
We hope you’re enjoying your new home! We’re so glad to have been part of your moving journey! We’d love if you shared your experience with PODS with your friends! We want to make as many families’ moves as smooth as possible.

DO NOT RECOMMEND! Located in NH. The sales person sold us on meeting every one of our timelines. We then scheduled our entire cross-state move based on that information. 2 days before the pick up the POD to move it to our new home they changed the delivery date 6 DAYS LATER! We spoke to managers and they just don't care. We moved cross country using U-boxes and had zero issues.

I had a large screen television that was just purchased December 2025, a very expensive guitar, and an air fryer that were all damaged beyond repair. There was so much more bubble wrap around the guitar and television than you would find opening a new one. They were securely braced as were all items in the shipping container because they said to expect moving and shifting. This shipping container was so damaged when we got it back that there was a puncture in the wall they attempted to cover and the door was off the track and only the lock holding in it place. It took several people working together to get the door open.
We filed a claim for the damaged items and they declined it. Movers beware of using this service. We sent the photographs of damaged items and the damaged moving container and it was sill denied after paying for their insurance on the contents. The shipping container was either dropped or severely hit by something to cause those damages to the container. This was not shifting in transit. I'm waiting to see if they post this review as I intention followed all guidelines writing it and I'm the individual who rented and paid for these services..
We're disappointed to see this, Victoria. Unfortunately, we can’t control the insurance company's policies, and we can’t negotiate with them in regards to what claims are approved or denied. We suggest reaching back out to your point of contact at UNIRISC and asking them to reopen/re-investigate your claim. You can do this by replying to the last email received or by giving them a call at (407) 228-2026.

PODS charges MORE than the initial drop off and a month's storage for redelivery, which was all local. No crossing state lines. The online quote I got was $450. The final bill, which included a $550 redelivery charge, was over $1,000. Not to mention that the Zilla's drive crashed into my truck when they came to pick it up after I loaded it. They are fixing it, but I have the hassle to deal with on top of this billing debacle. The redelivery fee being MORE than the price to drop off and pickup is ridiculous. Especially since this was a local move. Don't use pods. Hire movers. At least they provide the muscle, shipping, and delivery. PODS is a scam.

I was very pleased with PODS up to almost to the end of my experience. The container delivery and pack service at our former home in California was flawless and perfectly coordinated. Our property was in storage in Austin TX for over a year while we got acquainted with the city and neighboring towns and finally decided where to have a new home built. The condition of our items (which was very good) attests the care the containers were provided. The coordination for delivery to our new home and the communication with the drivers for delivery and pick up was also excellent.
It all went sideways when I had questions regarding what I consider were duplicate charges as nobody responded to me at all even though I sent requests to several individuals I worked with through the process. It's really baffling to me that the great work of many of your employees during a long time gets marred because of lack of customer care at the very end of the process.

PODs was the perfect option for us since we were redoing our main level flooring and didn't want to have to move our furniture offsite to a storage unit. The delivery and pickup process was easy and the container was clean. Our only gripe is that we rented the POD for 29 days but were charged for more than one month (they prorated the second month). The reason being was because it was February. Had we rented it during any other month, we would have been charged for one month.

Dealt with PODS from February-March. Had no complaints during drop offs, pick ups until our very last pick up. Was given my 3 hour window time, never showed, called c/s, was given another time, never showed, had to call again. I was told, "You are on the pick up for today. You know if there's traffic, a delay or a truck breaks down it will delay a pick up." That's fine however call, text or email the customer letting them know. You plan your day around this pick up and yes I know on an empty pod you don't have to be here, but communication is crucial. Customers pay a hefty sum of money and should be notified.

From the onset, this was the worst company that I have ever dealt with. The guy I first contacted messed up my address on the order form. I had to call back and have it corrected. I requested an afternoon delivery for Friday, April 24, 2026, after 2:00 pm. The POD was delivered before 2:00 pm. I further requested that the POD be picked up on Saturday, April 25, 2006, in the afternoon. I was told there would be an additional $79.00 per request. I said, "Okay to the additional charges.
This evening, I received a text saying they will be here between 8:45 am and 11:45 am to pick up the POD. I called the company, all I got was the run-around, and the customer service representative could not even speak English, attempting to read the contact to me. A contact I did not agree to, but one that PODS Moving & Storage put together without my consent after I agreed to pay the extra fees for services I requested.
I finally told the last representative off and requested to speak to a supervisor. Needless to say, I really did not get anywhere with her either. I ended up agreeing to have them pick up the POD on April 28, 2006, so I could have the movers, whom I had already paid for, here at 9:00 am on Saturday to move my household items. I do not recommend this company. The service was horrible, and the customer service is distasteful to say the least. Save yourself a hassle and go with another POD company.

I needed to ship items I inherited over 1300 miles and was not interested in renting a truck and having to drive 2 days to get there (I'm older, my back would not appreciate it). Add in the worry about having the truck broken into, or worse, breaking down on the side of the highway, and using PODS became a very easy choice. Yes, it cost more, but the customer service was great, and everything happened on schedule with lots of communication.
Another added bonus, a POD sits flat on the ground with only a small lip to get over, a moving truck, even with a ramp, requires way more effort to get things into and out of, and the truck rocks as you move heavy things around in it, a POD does not. I did not consider this at all when reserving the POD, but honestly, it made a huge difference. PODS also raises and lowers the POD without tipping it when picking it up and delivering it, so nothing was disturbed inside. Add in all the tie-downs, and your mind should be at ease. I would definitely use them again.

I had PODS drop a pod off at my old house and we filled it, and then they brought it to a new house and we unloaded it and they picked it up. The booking process was really easy. I just inputted a few little pieces of information and they would text me updates. If I needed to make any changes, they would make those changes. There was a little discrepancy about the pickup. The pickup of the empty pod changed several times over several days, which was a little confusing, but it wasn't any part of the process that really mattered. It was all a very smooth process.
The drop-off went really good. I really enjoyed the driver that did the drop-off and I think he also did the pickup to go to the new house as well. He knew how to maneuver it really well, and before he put it on the driveway, we discussed, "Okay, it's gonna go over this far and this is about how big it is." Sure enough, he was able to get it within six inches of where we decided. So, I was happy with that. I liked PODS. I would do it again. I'd share to others how easy they are to book and how they are dependable. They communicate and they do what they say they're going to do. Working with them did save me money. Instead of having movers come do it for me, I was able to do it myself and that was worth it. I like the price.
The pod was great. There were a few little tiny scratches on the outside, but it was not to where I was worried about the integrity of the pod. The walls were good. We were able to pad things that were close up to the walls. This stuff arrived in the same position that it left. They picked it up. It was nice and level. And even with a few bumps on the road, all my things got here really great.

The pod was delivered to my home, and I moved to a new location. So, PODS dropped it off, picked it up at the new location, and then picked it up from the new location. Everything was easy, except there was one piece that I found difficult, where they sent me an email for a 10% off the quote and the area to enter the code for the discount was very hard for me to locate. I went through it three different times to try to figure out where to enter it. Everything else was smooth about it.
I had interactions with a few different people and they were all positive. They were all nice. The initial guy that dropped off the pod at the very beginning was really, really nice and informative. He was also the same guy that picked it up from the second location. That interaction was not quite as friendly as the other one. He wasn't rude by any means, but I could tell it had been a long day. I was probably the last pickup at the end of his shift of a long day of working. So, he was a little bit quieter than normal.
The final price was different from the quote that they gave me because they didn't apply the 10% discount when they charged my card. I just noticed it a couple days of ago. It looked like they must have gone through their records, and they realized that they had overcharged me, and they gave me a refund without any type of notification. But the difference that they had overcharged in the beginning was refunded to me. So, that made me happy. They're doing their part.

They always called beforehand. All four different people. They were all consistently good.
Also, I like the online. I had an account, and I could see all the dates and everything where we were in the process. Then it also allowed me to change the date, which we did. We actually had it dropped off a day early, and I did that two days beforehand. It was just such a smooth process. No hiccups at all. We were lucky.

We heard positive stories about PODS from people we know and they have good reviews, which was why we decided to use them. The app seems to work well and is fairly intuitive to navigate. It has everything on there that you need and is easy to use. I booked a 16-foot container online and the drivers were all very knowledgeable, capable and friendly. It went well all the way around. We had a good experience and I would recommend PODS. We had a cross-country move that needed to be done and we were completely satisfied with their service, the product and their support.

We used PODS when selling our home and buying a new one that required a full renovation before move-in. We were able to fit most of our three-bedroom house into their largest container and overall, the process was easy. Scheduling drop-offs and pick-ups was straightforward and convenient. Most of the drivers were great—friendly, courteous and on time. That said, there was one exception. One driver called and got upset about a rolling trash can the city had left in front of our driveway after pickup. He insisted he wasn’t authorized to move it and said he couldn’t pick up the POD. I actually left our closing to go move the can… only to find the POD already gone when I arrived. So clearly, it got handled—but the interaction itself wasn’t great.
On a more positive note, the driver who picked up our POD at the end (Scott P) was fantastic—easily the highlight of the experience. Super upbeat, professional and even knocked out about 50 pushups in our driveway after loading it up. Hard to beat that kind of energy. My only other feedback is that the pricing could have been clearer—specifically around billing cycles and timing. I likely would have made different decisions had I known I’d be charged for an additional month based on the return date. Overall, a good experience with a few bumps along the way.

This is an unfortunate review. I used PODS 2 times and was great, but once I moved to another state- it was a nightmare- Many hands, many different information and the payment which was a big amount was taken out without my knowledge- When is time to pay your mileage payment- PODS was supposed to give me 24 to 48 to look at the statement and make sure the amount that we spoke about was correct- unfortunate it was taken without my consent in the middle of me buying a home- They took money out that I was going to use for down payment- I had to explain and my closing was delay 2 days because of PODS taken out the amount without my concern- I had 8 different customer service- with different prices- the reason I went with PODS was because I did not have a problem with them- but I will not ever use PODS because when I called and explain to the last billing customer person - she stated- well- it comes from your card automatically-
I agree only on the monthly payments- that is what I understood - the rental- but the mileage was a different story- 5 of the customer service assure me that they will not charge me until they send me the bill and I had 24 to 48 hours- That did not happened. To many hands on the same POD will become a bit misunderstanding- Why I went with PODS- is because the FIRSST customer service gave me a good price after I TOLD HER how many miles- All what the 1 and the 2 and the 3 and 4 and on and on- different prices- I had 2 PODS- and they made a big mess out of my amount- after they took the large amount- I called them and told them not to take anymore and I will continue paying, since in they said- they have payment plans- not with me they did not- Again- I dealt with PODS 2 times before this out of state, and it was awesome, very convenient- but this time it was not- and the last person I spoke to about all of this- did not care at all-
All she said, when will be the next payment- I overpaid- and I am so disappointed. I pray no one goes thru the nightmare I went thru- With the move, traveling, and dealing with PODS was a stressful time that left me tired mentally and emotionally- I couldn't enjoy my new home because PODS was still billing me- It took a month after I moved in- that I started taking a deep breath and trying to understand what this company put me through- It was a mess- and a nightmare-

PODS was in the area where we needed it, and it was convenient. I booked one of the larger sizes online and the price was reasonable. There was an error in the beginning, though. They thought it was a residence, but it was a business. The initial drop-off time was at 8:00 at night and our business was closed, but once it was resolved, the issue was easy to fix. The pickup and delivery went very smoothly. The customer service was great and everything worked out the way we needed it to. I would recommend PODS.

I called to cancel my reservation and was provided a discount to keep it. I asked if there would be any additional charges at the end of our call and was told no. Additional charges were added to my credit card so I called PODS to dispute. I received an automatic response via email referring back to my original contract. I was also told both pods would be delivered in my driveway because I had the clearance to do so. My second pod was delivered in the street and was told by the delivery driver it was common for the sales people to tell you they will fit to finish the sale. I feel scammed for multiple reasons due to the dishonesty of the sales people and lack of support from the company. I would not recommend this company.

I needed a container for a month and PODS was great. I chose them mainly because of name recognition. I got a 16-foot container and booked the service online and then over the phone. It was a little small for one part of my needs. But that's okay. It worked out great. It was an interesting process to get the pod into my driveway. He asked where I wanted it and said he would put it there. And he put it exactly where I wanted it. I asked the guy who picked it up if he needed me for anything. He said no and before I knew it, he was gone. Both drivers were excellent. The customer service guy I talked to when I had to extend the amount of time that I wanted to keep the pod was very good. He made suggestions that would help me so I wouldn't have to pay for an additional month, and it worked out perfectly.

We were going to use the pods to move from one location to another, but we instead used them for storage during the staging of our rental property. Setting up with PODS over the phone was easier than doing it online. As a first-time user, it was a little difficult to understand how it would meet my needs because it was evolving as I went. Once you know what you’re looking for, it’s laid out well, but from the suite of options, it could have been easier to understand what’s included. I’m a Costco member so understanding what the additional 20% off may be applied to would have been easier for me as someone who hasn't used it before.
The communication was good during the drop-off. The rep from PODS gave me a heads up. But when it was time to return the pod, they didn't let us know and the window changed rapidly. I was staying somewhere else, and I was scrambling to get there. It was a little bit on the grass, and my husband had to sign for it. The website had videos, but I wish there were more information for situations like having a limited driveway. I have an older Florida-style home, and the driveway is a little shorter and narrower. It would have helped to know ahead of time that we needed someone there to sign off so they could park on the grass. It could have been a little more personalized in that regard. But once the person arrived, he was great. I'm satisfied with what we needed the pods for.

I was moving from a 9,000 square foot house to a 2,800 square foot house and PODS is known, and I knew about them so I called them up. I had three pods that were moved to the new house and then, there were two pods that ended up going to the storage unit. The three drivers came to the house, picked up the pods and moved them to the new house. They came back and forth and all of them were helpful. When I had to meet them at the storage unit, they quickly grabbed the pod and took it away, or quickly dropped it off, so I didn't have to wait for them too long. It was pleasant, and they were polite but also very professional in the sense that they were on a timeline. The price was reasonable and overall, the experience was excellent.

Updated on 04/26/2026: ****DO NOT RECOMMEND**** Well here I am again, still with no resolution because being ignored is what they do best when they are wrong. I learned that I had to record every conversation, screenshot everything and email that stuff to another email to ensure I'm able to have the chance to look back as well as they claim they do. I've already caught them lying and proved it with everything I have. I've sent numerous emails and I'm still being ignored. The "social media" team comes on here saying to email them and they will help. Ha. I have those emails as well, where I'm being ignored. No one actually wants to help, they just want your money. They can never prove correctly or give an invoice of such charges.
I was never explained about long distance moves because no one ever changed my move from local to long distance. It was only changed when I went to book my move. What a joke that has been. Nothing but me emailing proving I'm not wrong, so they ignore me and just continue to try to charge me. They also do not allow you to remove your credit card from their site. They are extremely shady. The amount of times they tried to charge my card and all different amounts with no invoice or any explanation. They still can't give me an explanation as to what the charges were for. They were going to cancel my order over $22.63!! They had given me a random credit but it didn't cover what they were charging even though I didn't owe it, hence the credit they put on my account! No one can explain that. Now I'm being charged more.
I really hope you do your homework before hiring this company. The insurance is crooked too! you can't talk to anyone at the warehouse where your stuff is. I was told by a supervisor that they wouldn't even "entertain me". Seriously? How do you talk to a customer like that as a "supervisor"?? I can not WAIT to be done with these people. They really need to do better. Also their compassion and empathy oh right no one has it because it's only about money. My husband was killed tragically and left me and our 9 month old. Having to sell our home and put our home into storage was so very upsetting on top Of trying to deal with what had just happened. They ignored me and just told me I owe money! Very, very rude and hurtful.
Updated on 04/19/2026: I have 3 disputes going on with this company.
1. They refused to fix the promo code and came up with their own solution and closed the case without confirming with me. They continued to ignore me until I got a supervisor from FL to have it reopen and even then the woman opened and closed it without even waiting for a response.
2. There is another dispute open about a credit I have on my account. It was only to be used for delivery. The credit department decided to use my credit towards a payment that no one can tell me what it is for. I don’t understand how no one can know what these charges are for! I’ve tried calling that department and someone picks up but doesn’t speak, you just hear background noise. I have it recorded. So should PODS.
3. Another dispute in regards to an employee telling me that I wouldn’t have to pay for the month of service because I’m taking my belongings out within the grace period. I have the call recorded as well I know PODS does and I have to wait 3-5 business days. Meanwhile, I do not have 3-5 business days to wait since I had to schedule my delivery 8 days in advance because it’s going to take 8 days to go an hour and 20 min! No one could tell me why that was the case either. I was never told it would take that long to deliver. They don’t tell you anything and they just come up with stuff as they go. I have the recording. I know what she said and now I have to wait for them and they are saying they are going to cancel my delivery due to their lack of communication. I shouldn’t have to have my stuff held hostage because they messed up! Again idk why it takes 8 days to deliver this stuff. It’s 76 miles!!!! Only 26 miles over the 50 mile “long distance” move. I should be able to get my stuff in a day!! I could literally travel to Florida and back like 3 or 4 times! This is crazy. They are holding my entire house worth of stuff hostage. They also didn’t put The right amount of insurance on it! And denied me to get more!!
Since all of this, the repeatedly tried to charge my card a few different amounts. 3x for $583.88, another for $285.16, and another for $22.63. No one can actually tell me what’s going on. I know I have a credit of $903.00 and that somehow dwindled to $203.71. Where did the rest go? They can’t even tell me where it went or why they charged me those different amounts. They were told any credit goes towards the move out of the warehouse. They chose to use it for something else that’s unexplainable. So, I have the invoices saved, conversations saved and phone calls recorded. All going to my lawyer because they canceled the delivery of 2/3 pods. They told me the wouldn’t do that and now I have to wait while they hold my stuff hostage.
Original Review: They are like dealerships, once they get you to buy it and it’s out of your hands they are done being helpful and nice. They don’t give you all the info before purchasing. It’s very disheartening that they would treat people the way that they do. Especially in this economy. I didn’t have a chance but to put my entire house into storage when my husband was killed at only 44yrs old leaving behind myself and our 9 month old daughter. I needed the money until we could get a lawsuit going for what happened. So, they know all of this and still refuse to help.

We used Pods for a renovation, for the storage of our furniture. We started using it in October, and then they picked it up last month. We got the largest one and the process was very simple. When our renovation started, we actually didn't know it was going to start as soon as it did. So, we were in a panic mode about what we needed to do, because we were getting flooring throughout the house. When I called them, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a place that could give me a pod in three days. But they got it for me pretty quickly.
Before they came, they gave us a lot of instructions on making sure we had a spot, explaining where it was. And that piece helped us to know when they pulled in, we would be ready for them. They just pulled in and backed into the spot where we wanted it. They set it down. They were very polite to my husband, nice, approachable, too, and they left. The pick-up was the same thing. We just made sure everything was ready. The pod was cleaned out. They came, and the guy came here when they said they were going to be here. My husband had a great experience with both the delivery and pick-up.

When the house was not selling, we had to keep extending the time for the last two pods to come. I originally ordered one of the 16-foot pods and the 8-foot pod. When the 8-foot pod came, my daughter and I looked at each other and said, “Yeah. That's not gonna be big enough.” So, I have to give a shoutout to the delivery guy. His name is Kevin, in Lubbock, Texas. He is wonderful. He is just the nicest man and incredibly skillful at getting those pods where they need to be. He came, picked up the 8-foot, and gave me a 16-foot.
I love the PODZILLA. That's the big thing that lifts them. Kevin kept me notified because we were very close. He picked them up on the 30th, and the house closed on the 31st. He kept me in the loop, so I wasn't worried. It was later than he originally said he was gonna be there. He was just an amazing man. He was really helpful. He was very kind and understanding. He’s really a credit to PODS.
Big shout-out to Kevin! Thank you, Yvonne, for recognizing their dedication to exceptional customer care. Looking forward to working with you again in the future!

My home was flooded, and it would have cost me $13,000 to have it moved. I went with Pods and everything was packed up and moved out of my home, plus a $2,000 a month storage fee. And with my home completely flooded, I had to move out. This was something that was caused by a creek. This is not something that was caused by my home. And I am just ecstatic to have had Pods help me out. All of their drivers, everybody that I have spoken with at PODS, really made this very easy for me. I would recommend PODS to anybody.

We needed somewhere to store our furniture that we were moving. We have a two-story house, so we were trying to empty the top half of the house until we could get movers to move the very heavy furniture out. We went with PODS and it was a great experience, because we could get what we needed to do done right away, and the container was in our driveway for a couple of days. Then, when we were ready to move all of our furniture, we had the container go first, and then empty that out, and then we had the bigger things come in later. It was very helpful that way. We could get some painters in to paint. They were able to do a lot of work before we even moved. It was a time saver.
The team at Pods was very good. I had to ask one person a question about changing the time of the pickup. They were able to answer my question and tell me what to do. There was a lot of communication from PODS. I would definitely recommend them to a friend.

When I used PODS the first time to move out of state, I didn't have to do anything. They picked up both of the pods, and I just assumed they would automatically transport them to where I was going and then I would contact them to deliver them to my new home. Bu they did not do that. I kept looking, and they were still sitting in Michigan. So, finally, I did a chat, "Do I need to do anything to get these pods moving?" Then they connected me with a person and said, "Okay. I can schedule that for you." So, apparently, I needed to reach out to have them to start moving. So, I ended up waiting for 10 days. When the pod was delivered, 99% of my things were okay. A couple things ended up getting damaged because of shifting. Nothing that was significant that I was concerned about got damaged.

I got a 16-foot pod to move from Sydney, Florida to San Antonio, Texas, and I liked PODS for their price and delivery. I booked online and the rep gave me what I needed to know. I got the big pod but I should have gotten a bigger one. I ended up renting a 24-foot U-Haul for the rest of the stuff. I miscalculated a little bit and I had to drag my car on a trailer behind the U-Haul. The PODs driver knew exactly what he was doing. He put the pod exactly where it was supposed to be and made it easy for us to load. I hired a couple of loaders to do it, and they did a nice job. Overall, everything went very well.
The pod was picked up on time and it was nice that I knew exactly when it was going to come to the house in San Antonio, so I was able to book some helpers to help unload when the pod was delivered. And they delivered it right on time too. When it got here, we couldn’t open the door because the pod had shifted. I talked to PODS and the rep said he was gonna send a guy, but not until Friday. My HOA was not too happy about having pods in the driveway for too long. But we were able to unload one box. Another box fell down and we unloaded it through the small opening that was about 12 inches that we had. Then, the skinny guy who came here to help me unload squeaked himself in, moved stuff around, and we were able to open the door. PODS was responsive, but we got creative, so I called to tell them we were all set. I would want the cost to be cheaper, but for its value for what it is, it’s good. It was a very good experience, and if I live long enough and move again, I would use PODS.

Dear PODS Customer Service, I am writing to formally complain about the unacceptable level of communication and customer service I have received from your company. From the start, my experience has been frustrating and completely unprofessional. I have dealt with repeated delays, lack of responses, and inconsistent or misleading information from your representatives. It has been nearly impossible to get clear answers or timely updates, which is unacceptable for a company providing a paid service.
Your customer service has been equally disappointing. Representatives have been unhelpful, dismissive, or simply unavailable when needed. Instead of resolving issues, I have been left to chase answers and deal with unnecessary stress due to your team’s lack of accountability and follow-through. This level of service falls far below reasonable expectations and reflects poorly on your company. As a paying customer, I should not have to repeatedly follow up or deal with this level of disorganization and disregard.
I expect this matter to be taken seriously and addressed immediately. I am requesting a prompt response with a clear explanation, as well as appropriate resolution for the inconvenience and poor service I have experienced. If this issue is not resolved quickly, I am prepared to escalate this complaint further. I look forward to your immediate response.

Let me begin by saying I would've been better off renting a 20 foot U-Haul. Why? 3 reasons...... 1. They didn't listen 2. They didn't do what they said they would do. 3. All the reasons/explanations sounded like excuses. Let me explain, Pods dropped off the container as they were supposed to. They came to pick it up prior to the scheduled pick up time so they had to come back the following day but instead of coming back 1st thing in the day, they came back AFTER we closed on the sale of our house.
They were supposed to drop it off on Friday (today) at the end of the day, however, the person that handled our rescheduled pick up canceled our drop off so now, we have to pay a cancellation fee for the movers. We are told that they cannot deliver until Monday so we now have to reschedule with the movers and take off another few days of work, which is why we scheduled this for the weekend.

We had a pretty good experience with PODS. It's the first time we used them. Our only issue was with the customer service aspect of it. The pickup and delivery of the pods went well. I spoke with the customer service rep named Christina, and she was very helpful and nice. Ultimately, though, we discovered that some of the information she gave us wasn't accurate. She asked for driveway measurements. I sent her driveway measurements. She had told us we could place two pods side by side in our driveway and so on. But when the pod guys from Ocala came, they said, "No way." They said, “They never know. They don't have that accurate information.” So we had to pivot a little bit on placement. But it all worked out. They accommodated us.
We also had two 16-foot pods. And we described the square footage of our house and our contents. We were told that would be adequate. But it turned out it wasn't. So, in the eleventh hour, we had to order an additional 8-foot pod. I feel like the pricing on the 8-foot pod was pretty steep. We weren't really happy about the pricing on the 8-foot pod, given what we'd already paid for the two 16-foot pods. But they had us in a bind, and they knew it. So, we had no choice but to suck it up and go with it.

My experience with PODS Moving & Storage was extremely frustrating and misleading from start to finish. When booking, the representative provided inaccurate information about the space required for the container delivery. We were assured the container size would fit the available area, only to later learn the requirements were different than what we were told. This caused unnecessary stress and last-minute scrambling during an already difficult moving process.
We were also unexpectedly charged additional “city service” fees, which were never clearly explained upfront. On top of that, PODS only allows 4 hours to load the container, and then charges extra for every hour beyond that. For anyone managing a large move, four hours is unrealistic, and the added hourly charges feel like a built-in way to increase the cost after you’re already committed. The communication issues only got worse after the move began. We were told our containers could be delivered on a specific date, but later informed that service in our destination area is only available one day per week—something that absolutely should have been disclosed before booking.
Perhaps most concerning was the lack of transparency about where our belongings actually were. We were told the containers were en route to the new location, and the website even updated to show that they were moving, but they were still sitting in California the entire time. We know for a fact that they were still sitting in California 3 days (at least, they are still there) because we put tracking devices in the pods. Updating their website to show the containers are in transit when they’re not is fraud. Being given inaccurate tracking information about everything you own is incredibly stressful and unacceptable.
Overall, this experience felt like a combination of poor communication, hidden costs, and misleading information. Moving is already stressful enough without having to constantly question whether the information you’re being given is accurate. I would strongly recommend others carefully consider their options before using PODS.

This was my second time using PODS. The first time I used them, everything went smoothly, which is why I chose to use them again. Unfortunately, this experience was completely different and extremely disappointing. After my container was delivered, I opened it to find leaves and dirt covering almost everything inside — even though the container had been closed and locked. The POD was moved after a major snowstorm, and there were no leaves or dirt on the ground at the time, so there is no reasonable explanation for how that debris got inside unless the container was not properly sealed or was opened at some point.
Every single item inside was covered in dirt. Furniture that was carefully wrapped was damaged. Glass cups that were boxed, wrapped in paper, and then wrapped again in bubble wrap were still broken. That should not happen under normal handling. All of the clothes that were hanging neatly on wardrobe bars were knocked off and thrown onto the floor. It looked like the container had been handled roughly or tipped.
To make matters worse, I was quoted two different prices. The final price ended up being significantly higher than the initial quote I was given. The lack of price consistency on top of the damage to my belongings made this entire experience even more frustrating.

Everybody was very professional. I used PODS because I was moving far away, and I knew somebody that had used them before, and it was gonna be convenient for me. I booked the pod over the phone and I had a very good time with the coordinator. But it was a little pricey.

I booked a container with PODS and I went with them because I was supposed to get a discount or a gift card from them through Costco, but I still haven't received that. Other than that, booking with them was pretty easy. I did it online and since there was only one size option available, that was what I got. It was a 16 and when it arrived, it was fine and clean. Overall, working with PODS was convenient, and it was pretty cool that you can have storage on site versus having to go someplace else.

I arranged a PODS delivery to our storage facility under the discount from Cisco. The first PODS arrangement was successful, so I thought. I realized the POD wasn’t as big as I assumed so I placed an order for a second one, only to find out the first PODS container was not reserved correctly and the representative misled me on the pricing by not informing me he had us renting the container for a month after the we emptied the container. I informed them that was not the plan to rent an empty container because we would no need for it after it being emptied and that I was not aware of the terms.
To reserve the second pod, we had to change our original contract and caused us an additional $500 from from what we were originally quoted. We were kind of stuck because they had our belongings in the first container already. After the delivery of the first container, which was delayed due to snow, they attempted to charge us for redelivery. We paid for all of the mileage and and delivery only to receive several statements that we now owe $1106 for mileage delivery, storage and redelivery.
BOTH PODS HAVE BEEN PICKED UP. We were told if the first POD was picked up before the 26th of February then we would not be charged storage. The POD was picked up on February 16th. The second was delivered on the 24th of February and picked up on the 25th. This was arranged with representative each time to avoid the drama and foolery I dealt with before. Needless to say, I have nothing for of PODS. Their customer service is subpar. One representative argued with me, they would never allow me to speak to a manager, never transfer me to stateside to speak to another representative.
If you can rent a U-Haul or use another service, I recommend it. I will not use PODS nor recommend to my family. My sister is moving from one state to another and I told her to avoid PODs. They frustrate an already stressful time, by not being honest with their pricing and services. They are ambiguous with their terms and conditions when scheduling your POD and taking your first payment which locks you into their tangled web of surprise charges and payments as they hold your POD for ransom. USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN PODS. I repeat I am still receiving notifications that they are attempting to debit my account $1106 for services for which I’ve already paid.

I worked with PODS previously for a business that I had managed, so I had good experiences. This time, I used them for moving and I got an 8' x 8' container. I'm older, so I hired local people to pack and one of the gentlemen had a lot of experience. He used to be a contractor with PODS. So, he knew exactly how to pack it. The pod traveled across the country, and there was no shifting in the pod. I reserved the pod two months in advance, and I was given a date. The reps followed up nicely with me and the pickup came early in the three-hour window. The driver was very knowledgeable and quickly was able to deliver and then pick it up again from me. So, I’m very happy with that. It went very smoothly. PODS is very reliable and does what they say they’re going to do. Plus, the price was what I thought it was going to be. I was very satisfied with the whole experience.

PODS picked up my furniture from out of state and brought it to another state. Plus, they did storage for me. PODS delivered what they said they would deliver. And from picking up to dropping off to storage, everything was on time. I liked that there were no surprises. I like their organization because of what they say but it’s unfriendly when you use them because, like everything else, it’s automated. I am 68 and I like talking to somebody.
When I booked the pod, I talked to one person and then, everything was referred to the computer. Everything was organized once I get ahold of it. But it was an impersonal service, which is not good for me, because sometimes not everybody fits into the same box. You have different questions, but there is nobody to help. They want you to go through the computer, and the computer doesn't answer all your questions. You end up getting hold of somebody in the company to answer your question but you’ve wasted a lot of time.

I looked at U-Haul first to rent a truck and use the truck for storage, but I realized that their day rental wasn't gonna work. But once I went to the PODS website, I found what I needed. I had some correspondence on text with the PODS reps, and then the driver called, and he delivered it within the window that he said he would. He put it exactly where we thought we wanted it and he was able to nuzzle it up next to the curb. We have off-street parking here, so that's where he put it. The delivery was great. The pickup was a ghost pickup. Originally, he was supposed to be here between 10:00 and 1:00, a three-hour window. I looked out there at about 10:15 and it's gone. He was so quiet, it was like he snuck in and took it. It's a big unit it made noise when he delivered it, of course, but I have no idea when he picked it up exactly or how he got it out of here without making any noise. So that was kind of amazing.
PODS had good service, good price, and quality equipment. They were easy to deal with. The only complaint I have was that we spent a lot of time texting. They sent me tons and tons of texts, and a few emails. It was a bit overwhelming, but they seemed to be trying to make sure that everything was ready for the pickup. It's not annoying because we get so much crap in our phones as well as emails, but it wasn't annoying. The length of time it took to pick up also bothered me. It took about 9 days to pick it up. In between, there was a big cold snap, but that wasn't part of the problem because it was warm and sunny when we booked it to pick up before the cold snap, and I thought they'd just come right over and get it, but they didn't, and that kind of struck me as odd in terms of management of resources.

I liked the price of Pods. I used them for moving and I booked my pod over the phone. I had a very good experience with their rep. She explained everything and took care of everything. She reduced the price when I told her I had an online moving company already booked, which I wasn't too sure about. They didn't get very good reviews so I was looking for something else. And she matched the price. Originally, it was 3,800, then she went down to 3,000.
It's an interstate move so it's a long move. I got the 16-foot container and it was perfect. The pickup and delivery went very smoothly. They call you ahead of time. The night before, they tell you what time they're coming and they give you a three-hour window. And the driver calls you before he comes. It was very organized. Also, the pod was all packed tightly. Others should definitely go through Pods. It's a lot cheaper than a mover. All your stuff is in one container and you have the lock for it.

I've used Pods before in other moves. Their price to have a pod shipped down is reasonable, but the monthly charge for the storage is high. Their website is also not as intuitive as it could be. When I went out there, I ended up usually having to follow up with a phone call. This time, the rep I dealt with was very polite and knowledgeable. I booked a 16 foot pod and I should have booked more. By the time I realized it, Pods didn't have the availability to do everything, so we had to use two different companies. We used Pods for one, then we used 2 U-boxes for the other.
The Pods driver called to tell me they were dropping the pod off, then they called when they were picking it up. My experience was overall very positive and this pod was much better than the one we had 5 years ago. It had a better floor and it was in better shape. We didn't have any damage to any of our household goods this time compared to the last time, so it was a much better experience. I would recommend that people use Pods, and if we moved again, I'd use them again.

I booked the pod online. It was a simple process. The first driver that came and delivered initially was really great, very communicative. The one that came and picked it up did not communicate with me at all about pickup time. The one that redelivered communicated with me, and the one that picked up for the second time was just as good. So, the only one that I really had issues with the one that was the second or the first pickup.
It was a simple process from start to finish and it worked for me. The only thing that I had that was negative is I noticed that my stuff was super-duper freezing cold when it arrived at my home, almost like it had not been stored in a weather-controlled facility. I had stuff that was frozen and shattered inside of it, because there was some glass items that had liquid. Not a big deal, it didn't ruin anything, but I wasn't expecting it to be in a facility that would be affected by the cold temperatures that we had in Kansas City. It was picked up prior to the cold weather, so it shouldn't have happened. And then when it arrived, obviously, it was super cold, but it wasn't out of the facility that long where that stuff would have gotten as cold as it was.

Booking with PODS was pretty straightforward. The other part that was confusing was the pricing and how it was broken down. It was just a lot of charges and it was quite confusing to read the pricing breakdown. But the driver was very, very professional and very communicative. He let us know along the way when he would be there, and gave us 30 minutes ahead notification. Those were good. But the most challenging part for me was getting the confirmation so late the day before. I didn't get a final time window until almost late afternoon For me, it made my anxiety pretty high. Other than that, I hope that people use PODS because they have very good quality, and also, they are very on time about a lot of things, like delivery time. They're very on schedule. So, I like that.

We booked with PODS over the phone after looking at it online just a little bit. It was fine dealing with the rep, but PODS likes to hide their phone number once you're into the process with them. They wanna do everything by email or texting. So, when you're having an issue, it's hard to find a phone number to call and speak to a person. The first driver was rather stubborn as to where we wanted to place the thing and where he would call it acceptable. And it tightened up our move a little bit because he didn't wanna place it where we asked. But we had no trouble with the other three drivers. Everything went off very nicely.
We're moving to a location in the mountains of Georgia and I couldn't get a full-size tractor-trailer because the road narrows to 10 feet and then becomes gravel. There wouldn't have been enough room to turn the truck around. So, they were gonna have to load a small truck at our starting location, transfer it to a large truck, then transfer it to Georgia into a small truck in order to be able to facilitate bringing a small truck in. We got two of their 16-foot pods and we loaded, packed and locked them. We had scheduled our services to be all done within a month's time and on the day they were supposed to pick up the pods, a snowstorm blew into town. They shut down services until after and we were into the next month. But I got hold of somebody to speak to. They picked them up, moved them in an orderly fashion and got them here on time. And it went off quite well.

That's what sold me on it, because he walked me through how it would go, but told me, “You're still going to have to call the call center to initiate.” He was nice.

Even the administration twice, at two separate days, tried resetting the password as well, but I never got that email to reset the password even though I got getting all of their emails. I don't know what the issue was. They didn't know either. I called at a weekend or after hours, so they couldn't transfer me to a higher-up to a technical person, so it never got resolved.
I had an issue with the original individual I did the order. He was new, and it took a long time. He couldn't find the address. I asked, “Don't you need the zip code?” He said, “No, no. I found it. ” And he asked me these questions, “Is there a pool next door, or this and that?” I said, “No, you have the wrong address.” In big cities like Houston, the same street name can come up multiple times. I don't understand why he didn't start with the zip code, or after he got the street address, he also got the zip code, because that wasted my time. That was strange.
PODS has a month to turn it around. Since I did it in the month of February, which is only 28 days, I was concerned what if it ended up being 30 days, but that's outside the month. PODS assured me there's a grace period, particularly for February. With the snow days, and scheduling some of the unpacking, I worked with different things.

We were having our kitchen redone and hardwood floors put down, and one of the subcontractors said to just get a pod in our driveway as a generic statement for an empty container, similar to the historic ‘70s, "Get a Xerox copy," so people go to a Xerox machine. When I heard "pod", I didn't do a comparison and went to Pods. I booked the company's largest pod over the phone and my interaction with the rep was smooth. I was not surprised by the price on either end and I thought, “Wow! this is really cheap.” However, I looked through a Costco magazine after the fact and found that people could get 20% off as a Costco member renting a pod.
Pods never mentioned the discount, and I don't blame them either, but then they would have to go through the whole thing, including AARP and military. That's on the buyer, so I have no issues that it wasn't mentioned. I should have known that. Besides that, the driver was great guy.

Pods was great. It wasn't too expensive, but it wasn't cheap. However, I was a little upset. When I originally ordered the pod, I was under the impression that the price I paid to order it was also the price to pick it up, 'cause it was 300 and something dollars, and then $300 a month for storage. When I asked them to come pick up the pod, they tried to charge me another $170 to drop it off with all my stuff in it. So, I had to pay it. They ended up giving me a $100 discount, but I still ended up paying $70 and that didn't sit right with me. I was led to believe that the original cost for them to bring it to me to fill it up and for them to store it and bring it back was all one cost.
It should have been free because I paid $300 for them to bring the pod. I loaded it, then they came and picked it up. They stored it and I paid $300 every month. When I was ready to bring it back to empty it, they should have brought it back. It could have been my misinformation though. They could have been upfront with me, and I just forgot.

PODS is the way to go. It's better than having to rent a storage unit and take care of it. When I needed storage while I was remodeling, I booked with PODS online and my experience with them was wonderful. I got one of the 16-foot containers and it worked out great. The pick-up and delivery were very easy. They called me ahead of time, then they came when they said they would. The price was fine as well. I ended up getting a discount from Costco since I did it through them.
Teamwork makes the dream work! Thanks for the shout-out, Terry!

We’ve used PODS in the past for storage and moving. It’s an excellent way to move or between moves and start your move. We started going to our house and putting things in the container that we didn’t need right away, and it worked. My experience with PODS was excellent from start to finish, from the representatives to the drivers, to scheduling and communication. There was a small hiccup in the middle of the process when we needed to change a delivery day. I’m not very savvy with computers, and it wasn’t clear online which one was being delivered first. I tried updating it, but the reminder I received still showed the old schedule. So I had to call to be sure, and I'm glad I did. Overall, the pricing, scheduling, and service were excellent. If there was a hiccup, it was related to somebody needing to make a change or with some sort of verification.
The pickup and delivery process was perfect. The team was on time and professional. They tried to do what we wanted them to do and everything was placed where we wanted, even when it was gonna be tough. Overall, the price is very affordable. I had a coupon that had expired, and I understood that PODS couldn’t honor it. The day after I ordered, I received another coupon in the mail, and I was gonna call and see if they would honor that, but we were busy.

We were checking out types of services that could move some stuff for us instead of us having to use a U-Haul. When we called PODS, it was easy to talk with them and make all the arrangements. The pod was in perfect condition and we were very happy with it. It was a 16-foot pod, and it was clean. We got it on the 18th of December and it was returned on the 23rd of January. We had it for just a short time because we didn't want to incur any additional costs for renting it. One aspect that was not clear when we rented it was after we loaded it and they picked it up in Washington State, we didn't realize that we had to call again or go online again to schedule it to be delivered. It was towards the end of December and we thought they were just waiting until after the holiday then they were going to ship it.
When we realized that it hadn't moved, we called and we were told we had to physically go and schedule it to be delivered then schedule it to be brought to the house. There were too many schedulings that weren't made clear that we had to do. We had to schedule it to be picked up, then a separate schedule to have it go from Washington to our location, then another schedule to have it go from where it gets delivered initially to have it delivered to the home. But the customer service part of the experience was really good. Whenever we called, everybody at PODS was super nice, very helpful and understanding. The drivers that came out to the house were very good as well. The way the pod was loaded, everything was perfect by the time it got here in Tennessee. Nothing had shifted inside the pod. We had a great experience and we would recommend PODS.

We were selling our house and going to buy a new one. Unfortunately, our new house wouldn't be ready for us to move in, but we had to get out of our old house. So, we used the pod. We used it for things that we wanted to get rid of before for staging the house. We ended up storing our stuff from the end of September, and we moved to our new house on December 21st. However, it's limited days for pickup. You can select from Tuesday and Thursday. Otherwise, if you fit with PODS' parameters, everything went smoothly.
I mostly used the app when I could. I was not sure if I needed to talk to anyone to schedule a visit with the pod. I probably didn't need it, but we made a visit. You're allowed to visit your pod and PODS will pull it out for you. We did interact with somebody there because we weren't sure where to go to see the pod. However, it was limited because a lot of things could be done through the app. When we visited, we brought some more things to organize things for when we were ready to move in. We put some more things in and we used the extra space that we didn't use initially.
We were only there for the first drop-off, and then we started storing, and the pickup. We were only there for the drop-off and pickup. We happened to not be here when they were doing the delivery and pickup. They had to park the pod on the street so that it's not too far out into the street, but it's easy to get to. They did a good job getting things. It was a great service. It was convenient and reasonably priced.
We hope you’re enjoying your new home! We’re so glad to have been part of your moving journey!

I had two friends who had used PODS and they were extremely pleased. One of those friends is a very persnickety gentleman. He said his experience was absolutely great. I really had a great experience as well. It was like a one-stop. I called and got their input as to how big a pod I would need. And I was concerned about the placement.
I sent the nice lady at Pods pictures of my driveway, and she said, "Yeah, we can put it there if that's where you want it." No problem with everything. The driver came and he was spectacular. Because I came out and he said, "I understand this is where you want it." I said, "Can we do this and watch out for that? Don't encroach on my neighbor's driveway, only mine." Because I have a three-car-wide driveway. I had my half, and they did too, but I had my half of the property line between the two houses concreted in. So that gave me the third car parking. And he put it exactly where I wanted it, facing where I wanted it, leveled it. The construction company put the porta-potty right in front of it. So the whole thing was the least obtrusive it could be when you have a pod in your driveway in a suburban place.
The size of the pod was more than enough. It was not huge, but it was big enough. It was the size I had picked out because I had estimated this and that. I got a 12-foot, and I probably could have gotten a 10-foot. But the 12-foot was great because then we could move stuff around within the pod if I needed something and wanted to take it out in a different order.
Everything is 5-star except one thing. It appears that the wood in the interior of the pod was shedding sawdust. Because I had dust in quite a few of my tubs. I packed everything in sealed tubs, and I still had some dust in them. So I don't know if, beforehand, the ceiling of the pod or whatever had not been cleaned enough, or if it was just because the pod was not new enough. That would be my only comment. But even that was not a big deal.
Thanks for sharing this with us, Ann! We appreciate you!

A couple of my belongings were damaged because of the way the packers loaded the POD. The damaged items included a mattress, desk, part of bed set. The mattress was pierced by a piece of wood from the top of the POD. A large, heavy wooden coffee table was packed next to the leg of the desk; thereby bending the leg of the wooden desk. The unpackers damaged the dresser of the bed set and broke a part of Peloton bike. The manager on the delivery end (packer team) said he would coordinate Repair/replacement of the part broken off of the bike but as of this time, I have not heard from them.

We had done some online research and PODS using a pod worked to our advantage in pricing. We went with them and it was a good experience. When I called to book the pod, they were very helpful. Initially, the person that booked it made a commitment on a timeline that turned out to be not doable. They said it could be delivered at a certain time but it turned out to be a week later after we were at the house. But that was the only negative experience. Everything worked out perfectly. During both pickup and delivery, the drivers were fantastic. They were very friendly and helpful in explaining stuff. They were also very cooperative in putting the pod in the location I wanted and where I wanted it facing.
When they delivered the pod, we were having snowstorms and ice storms down in Tennessee and the dispatcher out of Nashville called and asked if they could deliver earlier. They wanted to help get it to us before the snowstorm and ice storm hit. It was the same thing picking it up. They couldn't pick it up until a couple of days later than original, but I was fine with that. They were very good at communicating and explaining everything through the whole process. I definitely would recommend PODS. Even after initial problem, they turned out to be phenomenal.

I didn’t think the PODS experience could get better, but I was wrong; with this delivery, their newer “placement/pickup method” was amazing — the drivers (both drop-off and pickup) were able to maneuver the 16-foot PODS container better than many individuals can park a compact car!

I loved PODS so much and I would recommend it. It was such a great decision. It was overall easier to use the pod than to hire a crew and have a truck driven. When I booked the pod, I did a lot of it online and then, the rep called me with the final pricing and walked me through everything. I logged back in, and the communication was wonderful. Everything was exactly what they said, and there were no surprises. The movers who picked up the pod and delivered it were very friendly and helpful. I was in customer service for over 40 years, so I’m a little picky, and I was very happy.
The pod was clean and the way we packed, it barely shifted. I took photos at the beginning and at the end, and everything was wonderful. When it got down here, it was not like the movers turned it upside down. The pricing was great. We were originally looking to move in October but we changed it to January, and it must be a slower month for PODS, so we got an even better price.

I was doing a big move for a two story, four-bedroom house. I got two 16-foot containers from PODS and they were in good condition - sturdy and clean. I liked that PODS did storage as well. However, the booking process could use some changes. PODS offers the moving companies on the website but there's a disconnect. They don't communicate what they provide, like the tie-downs. PODS doesn't provide it, but the movers didn't provide it either. It's an extra charge and that's confusing. We ended up having to purchase some tie-down kits, which we're never going to use again.
When you get a moving company, they let you know everything they provide and what you're going to pay for including what the district charge is going to be. But with PODS, it's not clear. Also, I ended up firing the first moving company because they kept saying PODS was responsible. They were pointing back to PODS and it was like a finger-pointing contest.
PODS was good with the text messages. But they push automation and the automation doesn't have enough features. You still have to call somebody on the phone. That wasn't bad though. When I log in, it lets me schedule but PODS doesn't do same day drop-off and pickup. If the opportunity presents itself to do that, they should do it. When the guys came to drop off the empty pod so we could fill them up when I was in San Antonio, they said they could come back that day, just let them know within three hours and they could do something. They were more amenable to picking up the full pod. But this time, there was no flexibility on PODS' side. They wouldn't do it. When my pods were empty, I had to wait four days to get them picked up when I knew how close the PODS facility was here. I would still recommend PODS, but I would tell others to call the companies that PODS listed on their website and let them bid.

We had and are having an awful experience with PODS. We have given them a lot of business and most recently had our 16ft container dropped off on Thursday, February 5th. First, the movers they suggested were inexperienced and were struggling with what one of the movers said was an "easy" move considering we had mostly "light" boxes along with a few pieces of furniture. Some items were damaged! The movers brought so much mud into our new home--no preparation to change shoes and wouldn't wear the ones we provided.
WORST of all is now. So we advised PODS they could pick up the container on Friday, February 6th. They advised they would instead pick it up (and we have documentation for everything) on Saturday, February 7th. NO ONE CAME. We called at least ten times and were promised the pick up because we live in a townhome and the POD is actually hanging into the street so it's a safety hazard. Add the frigid weather and Thank God we parked away from our home so we could get out for food. Problem is our car was parked 2 blocks away so in the 20 degree below weather, we were pushing out way into with bags of food. Move to Sunday, we called and were told they'd be coming out but we knew they weren't.
Hence, we reached out to their facebook page, and were sent the information that PODS was coming definitively on Monday, February 9th between 8am and 11am and they'd call once they were on their way. NO CALL. NO SHOW. We called and time revised to 4pm-7pm. NO SHOW. We also have documentation for this. WE received a message that the address was incorrect that we supplied???? It's the same address the container was dropped off at. But guess what: the address listed on their order is their home base in Armonk NY. Every time we call, there's only one of two choices of who to talk with: one if you have an existing order; one if it's a new order. NO escalation process. NO emergency protocol.
We are possibly going to have to get it towed off our property and they don't care. One customer service rep, "Fern," advised she tried to call them for hours and they wouldn't pick up but noted our records. She honestly confided this happens a lot. That's the clincher. It's a horrific company. We can't get into our garage and the POD may be damaging our driveway. We were granted a day by our Board and they've been there 6 days so far. I'm sending the most recent communication and one receipt --we've paid them over $5,000 for storage and moving so if you need all receipts we can send them. This is one of over 10 receipts for storage and then delivery/pickup.

Every representative I spoke to, especially Brian in Florida, was exceptionally friendly and willing to help me. The problem is/was that frontline customer service staff have absolutely no visibility into or knowledge of the PODS process concerning Certificates of Insurance (COIs) if there even is one. I literally lost count of how many times I called after the 6th time. The building management company where I work required a COI for me to be able to have the container dropped off at our building. I was given the e-mail address: COIreqest@pods.com to submit my request, seemed straight-forward enough. The problem was that not a single rep was able to help me when I called to make sure the COI would be received before the container arrived.
At one point, one of the reps informed me that the issue had been escalated and that the COI would be e-mailed to me by the end of the day (Thursday). It did not show up Thursday, nor Friday for that matter. It showed up the following Tuesday. I don't fault any of the reps with whom I spoke, as they all seemed to be genuinely concerned with assisting me. In some cases, they called me back to update me on the progress (as you know by now, there was none). There is clearly a training/process issue here that needs to be addressed. COI requests are a normal part of this business and there's no way it should take 2 weeks to get a response or an update, and there's no reason you should put your support staff in such a rotten position to try to solve something about which they have no awareness or knowledge.

Delivery of empty pod was easy to schedule and driver showed up within the stated time window. Watching the PODZILLA apparatus in action was fascinating! Plans changed and my pod had to be kept in storage longer than originally scheduled. PODS was able to accommodate longer storage period with no hassle. HOWEVER, during storage at the PODS facility, in Raleigh (NC), the weatherstripping around the door failed and a great deal of water (flooding? heavy rain?) entered the pod. When the pod was delivered to final destination, we found the boxes nearest the door were sopping wet and contents ruined.
Delivery of the pod to the final destination in another state did not go as smoothly as getting the empty container. Primarily, the difficulties arose because PODS forces customers to use their online scheduling tool and it’s not a flexible or user-friendly system. For example, when trying to schedule delivery of my PODS to a neighboring state, the online system wouldn’t allow me to complete the reservation and said the destination was out of the service area. After jumping thru online hoops to get to a live agent, I was connected to a woman who had less knowledge than I did of how to book a delivery date for my pod. Every question I asked got the same response, “Please hold while I get that information,” which invariably meant holding for 15 minutes and then getting only half an answer. After a frustrating near 90 minutes on the phone with this agent, either the phone line glitched or she hung up on me.
Although she had taken my phone number at the beginning of the call, she did not call me back, so I had to start all over with another agent. Fortunately, the second agent was more knowledgeable and experienced, enabling him to schedule the delivery of the pod to Virginia. He clearly outlined the requirements for the delivery and gave me a summary of my final costs. The actual final delivery & pick up of the pod went fairly smoothly, but again the difficulties that arose were caused by the lack of an option to speak with a human instead of being restricted to an automated system with limited options for indicating the problem. For example, after the pod was dropped, the text confirming the pick up date had the wrong address. The automated system doesn’t have an option for “Press 6 to help us straighten out a bonehead mistake.”
After the pod was picked up, I got a customer satisfaction survey but it had no option for reporting a maintenance problem with the unit such as the faulty weatherstripping on the pod. Similarly, there’s no way to request a morning or afternoon time frame for pick up or to make the PODS driver aware of special circumstances. The late afternoon/evening time frame for our Dec. 30 pick up was confirmed the night of Dec. 29. We were concerned that if the pick up took place after sunset (4:30 in Dec.), the driver might have difficulty loading the pod in the absolute pitch darkness because there were no outdoor lights or streetlights at the pick up location. However, the automated system doesn’t have an option for getting a message to a driver or speaking with an agent except for making a new reservation.
My experience with PODS was uneven — some parts were great, while other parts were frustrating nightmares. Overall, renting a container from PODS allowed me to accomplish my project, but the memories of frustration and time wasted on trying to communicate with someone behind their Great Wall of Silence are stronger than positive feelings of a finished project. I would use PODS in the future, but will nail down every detail when the reservation is made and will insist on getting a way to contact a human being.
We understand how frustrating this is, Diane. Please send us an email at socialmedia@pods.com with your customer ID. We want to assist right away.

Pods was the greatest thing that ever happened to me, from taking my order and explaining how their service worked they were always so nice and polite. I will never be able to find another service so well tuned into everything they do. Their drivers were also very professional and polite, it was a pleasure talking to them and watching them move the containers around. I will highly recommend them to anyone needing to move local or long distance, they were always on time. They sure beat hiring a moving company, that's for sure.
Your recommendation is invaluable to us. Thanks for spreading the word!

Pods was such a great experience. They always were on time. Communicated great. Friendly encounters with all staff. Extremely competent people work here. From the time I called for a quote to the very end when my pod was picked up after unloading the move it was 5 star experience. The website is even great that lets you schedule all the dates and times. I was so impressed by this company. Highly recommend using them. Great price and you don’t have to hassle with moving the truck.
Big shout-out to our team! Thank you, Stephanie, for recognizing their dedication to exceptional customer care. Looking forward to working with you again in the future!

PODS does a great job with communicating while ordering, delivering for a move. Absolutely great service! Where they fall down is being able to schedule the transportation across country, providing no updates related to POD location along the way, and providing decent estimates for arrival. In my case, I ordered transportation (about 2400 miles) about 15 days before my monthly rental renewal date thinking that this would give plenty of time to make the move, get delivered and picked up again before I needed to pay another month rental. Keep in mind that rental is NOT prorated, it's a full month or nothing.
After 13 days (on a Friday), the Pod arrives at destination facility, nobody notifies me that it has arrived and it is time to schedule delivery. Luckily I called that facility on Monday to ask when it was due to arrive (because my month is up on Wednesday and 'nother $200+ bill is coming) and that is when I am informed that it arrived on Friday. Now there are no delivery slots open for Monday or Tuesday, so Wednesday it is. Keep in mind that you cannot ask for a morning or afternoon delivery, it is when they say it is. Arrives late afternoon Wednesday, we unload Thursday and it is picked up Friday. Yep billed another month on Wed. when we only had it 2 days of the month, and it was mostly due to their scheduling, slow transport, and lack of informing me that it arrived.
Had they called, I could have scheduled delivery earlier in the week. Also, offering Saturday delivery/pickup would be helpful. So bottom line, make certain that you can schedule transportation well ahead of the end of your rental period or they will find a way to squeeze you for the extra $200-300 bucks, plus the cost to "store" it at the receiving facility for a few days that you can't have it delivered due to their schedule. You would think a "grace period" could be offered somehow, after all we are talking about 1 16 ft pod, stored for 3 months, transported 2400 miles etc.. costing about $5k all in. Again, very happy and would be 5 stars had they not snuck in another month and a few small fees at the end.

Pods are the BEST way to go!! Load on your own time. No stress! Unload at your own pace. It’s so convenient and stress free during a time that can be overwhelming. This is the second big move we’ve made using them. I definitely recommend!!
We recognize the challenges that come with moving, and we're happy to have been able to provide some relief during this transition for you!

We were very pleased with the process, everything went according to plan. Staff was very helpful and the price was very reasonable. This was a local move for us. When we moved 3.5 yrs ago from the midwest to ABQ we had a nightmare of an experience with movers that turned out to be contractors. We wish we would have used PODS and done it ourselves, would have saved a lot of frustration, anxiety, stress and yes, cost. We recommend using this mode of moving any distance! Very happy customers.
Wow, thank you for this wonderful review! We put a lot of effort into ensuring every customer leaves satisfied, and we're so pleased to have met your expectations. Thanks again, Ricki!

The driver was great that came to pick up and drop off our POD. It was easy to arrange getting the POD every step of the way. The monthly rental fee was reasonable. The cost to move the POD was a bit high to me but went well.
Aren’t our drivers amazing?! We’re so grateful for them, and we’re always happy to hear when customers experience how amazing they are too! Thanks for the kind review, Stephanie!

We had a great experience using PODS. They are great at communicating every step of the way and made the process of picking up, storing, and delivering easy and convenient. Nothing was broken. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Great alternative to using a moving company, although we did both. We filled up the POD to declutter the house to put it on the market, and used a moving company for the rest. It worked out very well.
We’re glad to hear that your move went smoothly! It’s what we expect here at PODS!
