    Just used PODS Container moving services December 2016. Original contract was not honored and price hiked after many calls including an 1 1/2 hr conversation to tell me why my original contract could not occur. Would not trust or use this service again. Customer Service Operators are prepped to placate the dissatisfied customer but do nothing to correct the problem. Also unclear & fluctuating charges appear on account invoice. Overcharged my account. I felt I had to pay overcharge fees or my items would have been kept hostaged. Beware!

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

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

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

    I needed two storage containers and PODS' prices were reasonable. Booking is easier for me over the phone than through the internet. We got two 16-foot containers and everything was as we expected. They dropped them off and picked them up when they said they would.

    My wife booked a storage pod. She did it over the phone and everything went smooth. We requested the biggest one they have. The container was sturdy but it's a little pricey for a self-storage - I could have gotten a storage unit cheaper. I also made the mistake of having to move the same time I just made a payment so I lost the payment.

    I booked online with PODS for my move from Ohio to Florida. I then had some phone conversations with them because I had some questions. I was very, very pleased with the follow-up interactions as they were outstanding. I got the biggest container they have to fit all my house in it, but it didn't. Some of the stuff was left behind, although it got everything we needed.

    The delivery drivers were very nice young men and they've put the container where I needed it. I wound up having to leave the container in the warehouse for some extra times, but there was no issue with it. And within three days from the day I called them to deliver, they brought the container to the house that I bought. They informed me that I needed to have a permit and if they hadn't had done that, I probably would have had some hassles. They made sure that I did my end and they were very efficient on their end. I was very impressed with the efficiency of the move. So, I've already told a couple of people to use PODS if they're gonna move.

    I've used PODS before and I had a great experience with them. I spoke to them over the phone and their reps were awesome. I got two 16's and I could have gotten by with one 16 and a small one but I didn't pack them like I should have. But the containers were great. When the drivers dropped the containers off, one driver didn't want to put it in the driveway 'cause he said he hadn't done that very long. But the other driver came in and said it was piece of cake and did both.

    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.

    We were moving from Frisco, Texas to Seattle and we loaded one pod to get our house ready to show for sale. We were able to do the process and break it up into pieces rather than have a bunch of movers coming and asking me a whole bunch of questions. We did it ourselves and hired people locally and did the same thing on the other end. All the people I dealt with were very nice. They were very cooperative and it was a good way for us. 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 checked the prices of various storage companies and PODS seemed to be the best. I looked up for their information online and their website was easy to navigate. The only thing it didn't do was it wouldn't give me the actual quote, so I had to call for that. And the reps were right on the money. I don't think the quote changed from what they gave me to what it finally was. I got the 7-foot container and if I'd gone up a size it would have been too much, but I filled it right up to the brim. And as far as the condition of the pod, I have no complaints with it. I would go with PODS again.

    I thought PODS' services would be cheaper. I booked with them over the phone and their rep was fantastic. I used their basic moving and then long distance travel. I used their storage services as well. There were only two available options for the containers and once I figured out how much I needed, I went with the white larger ones. Everything fit fine and they stayed dry and clean. The drivers were great and helpful. They told me what was going to happen and I watched the pod come in and go away. The time for the moving of the container couldn't be guaranteed but I was given a window and the move happened within that window. Everything that I needed to get done was done efficiently and effectively. PODS was right for the job.

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

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

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

The people I spoke with at PODS were absolutely wonderful. They took time and seemed very knowledgeable. It was a very good experience. I took the larger container. We were downsizing, and I used them to store my furniture first at my house for about a month until we got ready to show our house. I had PODS pick it up and put it in storage. Afterwards, I brought it back to our house so that our mover could just move it all.

    I understand that I could have had them deliver it to our new home, but I thought it would be a lot easier to consolidate it at our house and do it. Also, I saved a little bit of money because it would be $500 to do that with PODS. The experience was easy and smooth.

    I rented a POD and had it delivered and stored in their facility for almost eight months, and I had them deliver it back to me. They basically did a drop off, a pick up and storage, and we did everything else. I made every effort to book it online unsuccessfully. I tried their website which I found to be very difficult to deal with. I may be old but I'm sharp on a computer. Their site is not intuitive in the way I do things and it said, "Well, it may take five minutes for the changes to show up on the site." So I wound up calling them.

    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. PODS apparently does not have that capability. It's not a live site. Apparently they've got to take your order and then process it and put it back on their site.

    But the drivers were great. They were very nice guys and seem to know their business and handle the equipment, which is very unusual and interesting. I stayed out and watched them run it. They called me ahead of time when they were delivering. It was 30 minutes out just like they said. It was well done and I had nothing but minor damage inside the POD. One of these plastic containers was a little bit cracked. But for the most part, everything I put in the container came out perfect, and was not damaged in any way. I was very impressed with that.

But when I asked them about discounts, they were not able to provide me any until I found it from my insurance company, USAA. Then when I went back to PODS, they adjusted the price for me. Overall, PODS did exactly what they said they were going to do. They picked the equipment up and dropped it off when they said they would. He telephoned before he arrived and the pod was put exactly where I wanted it, both for picking up and dropping off. As far as the professional attitude of the people, everybody was good.

    But the customer service needs to work out the details about the things that are in the pod once they pick them up as far as storing and moving them. When the container with the goods arrived, we took out the items and some had been damaged and scratched. The container box must have not been kept leveled as promised and we had all the equipment tied down in the box. We mostly had power tools and heavy cable saws in the pod and they weren’t going in when I was loading it. But I made sure the pod was well-balanced when I was loading the items. Also, we had an electronic thermometer in the container, which recorded the temperature during the storage for four or five months, and the temperature went above a hundred degrees. I wasn't sure that the container would not be air-conditioned at that temperature.

We booked online and over the phone. Their reps were very helpful. We scheduled our long move over the phone and it was easy to do. We got a 12-foot and two 16-foot containers.

    The way that I needed the service done was what PODS offered. We didn’t know timelines and have a place on the other end of our journey that was secured yet, so I knew I could have PODS move our things and then move it into storage until we found a place. We had 16-footers and a 7-footer and they were very clean and sturdy.

    Overall, I was so impressed with everybody I encountered and they were very patient with me. Although we had a lot of hiccups with the changing of timeframes, they were very accommodating and really caring about what I was saying. I talked to PODS by phone to help walk me through the service more, and everyone I spoke to was excellent. Moreover, the driver was wonderful and very helpful. On the home we ended up at, we had a really long driveway and they were great about trying to coordinate the delivery so it could work out where we didn't have to walk too far around to get into the garage.

The only problem I would have with it is if I were shipping across the country or to a different place because it would have taken a whole lot of pods to get a whole house full of stuff moved.

Also, if I try to drive across country with a truck driving my Ford Escape, the car wreck would have been even more expensive. The representatives at PODS as well as the delivery and pick-up were great. Once I buy a house, I'll probably use PODS again just to move over because it is easier. You get a month to use it or hurry along or leave it there and it's their driver. I don't have to drive a big giant truck because I'm not that coordinated.

    I needed a little bit of storage on our end because we were renting out our house. In fact, we used PODS' storage and moving services. We went with them because they're a familiar brand. And then, they were really flexible with us when I called. I gave them a couple of scenarios and they said they can do them, which was really what I needed. Booking with them over the phone was the easiest way. I ended up having to do it online to make some of the changes. I was out of the country, and realizing that we weren’t going to be able to have everything packed up on time, I made some adjustments through the chat feature on their website.

    I requested for the 7-ft container. I did a terrible job of estimating how much stuff we really had and we probably could’ve used the bigger one, but the price jump between the smallest and the next largest was extreme. So, we just made do. It was almost $1,000 for just a few more feet, which was why I didn’t go with the bigger one. The drivers were really great every time they called and told us about what time they’d be there, and they were there at the beginning of when they said they would be. I would like to complain about the 7 AM pick up, but being there all the way was good, though. A week after the pick-up, somebody from the Birmingham location called to make sure that we didn’t have anything that was damaged, and everything was fine.

I find this to be poor and inaccurate information. Due to the fact when I first rented my Pod they said the length of time that I was renting it would affect my my rate. Having just gotten off the phone with them trying to renegotiate my rate they basically told me there was nothing they could do and that I had to keep paying the ridiculous $180 a month!

    We were moving cross-country, from Arizona to New Jersey, and we have to get storage because we don't have any place to live yet.

We had a conversation with them and, basically, found that they seem somebody we could trust. We figured it would be easier than having a regular moving van take it and drop it off at a warehouse and unload it, and then, load it again, and bring it to the house. Economically, it would be cheaper in the long run.

    So we started out with a 16-footer and we had to get a 7-footer. We got a little extra room and it just made everything a little easier. The drivers were great. We had no problems with either one of them and everything was smooth. Since we've had our experience, we tell people what we used and we were very pleased with them and they should consider it.

    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.

    PODS did a great job. I booked a 16-foot pod over the phone, and the rep was very helpful. I had to call and get some other information, and when I called back, he called me right back and we were to set up the rental. We needed on-site storage, and they delivered and picked up when we asked them to. We had no issues at all. Everyone did what I asked, and I appreciate their business. I would recommend them.

    We used PODS for drop off and pick up as we needed the longer time to be able to load and unload the pod. Booking online was awesome. It was convenient and easy to understand. I also was able to pick the date and time and it gave tips on what size pods is to like based on the house size. We got a 12-foot and we could have gone a little bit smaller, but it was nice to have the extra room because we weren't the most efficient with packing. It was sturdy and clean. 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. But it was great because when I called to schedule the relocation they were able to key it in a different pod that actually saved me some money. So, that right there earned it an extra referral from me because the person that I talked to was so helpful in that sense of figuring out what was going to be exactly best for our needs. Everything was cut and dry once we got everything moved and sorted out. And then they came and picked up the pod. I have and would recommend them highly. Easy, simple, straightforward, and exactly what we needed.

    Some of my friends have used PODS in the past and I didn't know any other way to get my stuff home. It seemed like a logical thing to use. I needed a POD down in the state of Florida. I had some people put some stuff in it then it had to be taken up to Rochester, New York. And it had to wait because I hadn't closed on my house yet. When I did get it, they brought the POD in and I hired a couple of guys to empty it out. I got the 12 foot container and I wish I ordered a bigger one because I could've used a little bit more room. Also, it was a little awkward when the guy came for the POD to my place because I live where there's a bunch of townhouses and the parking spots are numbered. I had to ask permission from three neighbors that I didn't even know because he had to get the POD and needed at least three spaces to do his maneuvering. So I had to do a lot of extra work getting the spot secured and not pissing anybody off.

    I contracted the services of PODS for moving as I could afford the POD, but not the movers. I started my booking of the POD online, but then it wasn't going through, so I called and set it up with an operator. I requested the 7-foot container. It was the correct size for that time and was perfect. But I'm going to be doing another move in June because I only took part of my stuff at that time, so I'll need another container of the same size.

    Both the driver that dropped the container off and the one that picked it up were great. They were very nice and professional. However, I had to call Customer Service because there was a problem with the rep who took my credit card information. He wrote a couple of numbers, but got them backwards, so I couldn't be charged. But they went ahead and took care of everything. Once I had called and fixed the information, and they could get their payment right away, everything was smooth sailing.

I booked with them because of their flexibility and pricing. We got two of their sixteen-foot containers to be used for moving and storage. In retrospect, I should have gotten the twelve-foot for the second one, but it was fine for what we had to do to move the contents of our home.

    I thought using PODS would be less expensive and easier than hiring movers and then having things put into a storage facility when we moved up to Michigan from Georgia and then have it brought over from the storage facility to whatever house we purchased. I wanted to do everything online, but for some reason, I wasn't able to, so I ended up having to use the phone. I had a couple of weeks to pack up. I got the largest sized container but if we could have had a bigger one, we probably would have gone with that, but it was good enough. It’s got all our stuff in it and then donated whatever wouldn’t fit.

    However, the door was a little messed up sometimes from putting our queen size box spring in there and I had to bend it back. We had our stuff stored in there for about seven months and when we bought our new house, we had it delivered and emptied, and they took it. It went exactly the way I was hoping it would, so it was a good experience going with PODS.

    When my dad moved, not too long ago just earlier this year, he used PODS and absolutely loved it. He said that there's no other way to move. We needed the storage while we were in between. They dropped it off at our old house, we packed it, they checked it, stored it and then they had it delivered to our new place once we were ready to go. Because I was a procrastinator and I waited until last minute we ended up calling them to see how soon we can have it delivered and yet, they took care of us.

    I loved PODS. Every person I met or spoke with, when I called and had questions, were absolutely wonderful. The whole experience was just awesome. The drivers were very friendly, and professional and they explained the process to me. I was there when they dropped it off and picked it up from the first place and when they dropped it off at our new place. I wasn't here when they picked it up but I called and they said that would be okay as long as the container was open and cleaned out. I was just amazed by how they did it. It was really cool.

    We went from a home into a condo so when the driver dropped it off at the new place, finding a parking spot was a little bit more difficult. The spot that I originally wanted to have it delivered, someone parked in there but he actually even took the time to flip the container around to fit the new parking spot even better. They are absolutely fantastic and, just like my dad, I would seriously say that there's no other way to move. It was so much easier moving. I can't imagine moving long-distance, just having it actually delivered. It was just absolutely perfect.

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.

    I found out about PODS when I moved in October of 2010. I hadn't gotten a house to move in and I didn't know how to handle that. When I was going to the store one day, I saw a big, white container in somebody's driveway and I thought, "What is that?" I called the number and they explained it to me. I used them and I was thoroughly pleased. I used the phone when transacting with them because I don't trust what I'm putting on there online and I'm thinking I might put on the wrong thing.

    The person that I talked to was fine. He explained it out 'cause I asked him, "When they take that white container away, you don't store it in the field or something?" He explained, "No, it goes in a climate-controlled building." That pleased me and it has worked out so good. If I moved again, I would go back to it again. It's the best way. Your stuff is handled with your hands in taking it on and off and it went great. Everything went just as I expected it, no surprises, no nothing. The person that brought it out and the person that picked it up were both pleasant. Moving is not a wonderful thing in your life. So, you need something pleasant going on that makes it a little better and a little easier. I had also told another friend of mine about it and they used it and they were very pleased as well.

    We booked a 16-feet pod over the phone, had it delivered, and then we packed our things up and they shipped them to our new house. We did not want to use movers as PODS was more cost-effective for us at the time. They gave us instructions on how to pack the pod if needed. The drivers were quick, friendly, and they did what they needed to do. They also gave me a window of time and they arrived within that time frame. PODS worked for what we needed and I would use them again if I had to.

    I talked to their rep since we had to change dates. However, the girl said that they were having a separate pod, meaning that I was gonna be charged for two different pickups instead of one. There was a miscommunication or maybe somebody didn't know to group them together. But everybody was really helpful in getting this issue resolved. She said she was gonna do the adjustment in the system so I hope that was corrected. Also, the billing was confusing to me. I think they could do better on that. And I kept getting emails saying that I haven't paid even though I did - they even confirmed it when I call them since I charged it on my credit card.

    I needed a temporary storage unit because I was doing a major remodeling in my house. I've seen PODS all over town, so I booked online with them, and it was very easy to book. The rep was very nice. In fact, when I set this transaction up originally online, there was a hiccup. When the POD unit was delivered, they delivered a smaller size than I needed. I had ordered the 16 foot container and they delivered the 12 foot, so I had to send it back because I definitely needed the 16 foot. However, they actually accommodated me quite nicely and were able to get out the correct size of container when I needed it the next day, and that just rocked my world. Moreover, the container they sent out was nice, big, and clean. Overall, it was exceptionally easy to arrange what I needed, get done when I needed it, and get on about my business, so I was very pleased. I would certainly use them again if I need temporary storage.

The only thing I didn't like was there were not nearly enough tie-downs. I would've loved it if the strut, the upright, and the beam have a slot in them where you could put something straight in and then twist it and then have these hooks all over the place, rather than have a few welded on islets all over the place. The tied downs were terrible. It forced me to pack the truck with a lot of garbage to feel secure. But that's the only problem. The doors work fine. I just felt as though I would've really liked it if I could've secured it as much as I would've liked and I nearly didn't see the big cost the PODS would've been.

    I rented a POD to keep on my property in TEXAS which was fine if you just look at delivery to my location, but and this is important when I called to set up an actual move with my POD is was a Nightmare.

Their Customer service people are Beyond uninformed robots that read straight from a script and are uninformed about how to make decisions around customer service. Kenneth the "supervisor" is never in the office and no executive or director to help make things go smoothly with a cross country move. PODS is INFLEXIBLE in every way and they have NO MANAGEMENT that can help make decisions if you need something extra or different.

    PODS picked up my belongings on November 26 in Texas and it took them 10 days to get my property to the new location in California!!! 10 days??!! I put a tracker on my POD and knew that it had arrived long prior to the delivery date. I contacted the office and asked if my POD was in town why were they not delivering it? Was told they were busy and couldn't deliver until the contracted date of December 5. PODS customer service also lied to me about the location!!! I was told my pod was still in transit when it was sitting in a trucking yard in California! They made my belongings sit in a shipping yard in COMPTON CA for 5 extra days because they can and because they didn't want to bother delivering it early or prior to the final day on the agreement which was December 5th which made me have to get a hotel and wait it out for an extra 4 days!

But then, it seemed like the relatives weren't as enthusiastic as when they first said they would help with the move, and I thought it would be easier and better for our peace of mind to go with the POD, and that worked out very well. I booked online at first, but was instructed to call Customer Service, so that's what I did. The rep was very good and helpful. I knew from looking at the stuff online what I needed, and requested a 16-foot container. The container was 8 feet, by 8 feet, by 16 feet in size, had a roll-up door, and was clean and sturdy. The pack and load service folks contacted me.

    There were no hiccups whatsoever in moving my container. The people that picked it up and delivered it were all very professional, nice, courteous, and willing to please. They were very good representation for PODS. They dropped the storage unit off, picked it up four days later like they said they would, and then delivered it out here after another nine days. It was an easy process. It was very nice to get a call from them the night before they came, and then the driver called the next day. That's a good process of making sure that communication is being made.

    The only problem was, when they delivered my things, some of the stuff within the container had shifted. We had taken some rope and crisscrossed it at the very end to make a net, but some stuff still shifted through during the transportation. I tried opening the container before the driver that dropped it off had left, and being a middle-aged women, it was hard for me to get the door open, but the driver was awesome and very helpful, bless his heart.
