In their own words
I had a terrible experience with 1-800-PACK-RAT. They delivered a damaged storage box that didn’t even come with a lock, making it unusable from the start. On top of that, they charged me a security deposit for two boxes but only delivered one. After I reported the issues, they took the box back — but they’re still keeping my deposit, including for the second box that was never delivered in the first place. No accountability, no refund, and no resolution. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Do not use PACK-RAT! I have zero trust in this company because they are not transparent about critical information that customers need to know before booking. I have a bad back and cannot load a container by myself, so several friends will be helping me. Because of that, I need to know approximately when the container will arrive so I can coordinate their schedules. My move is only four days away, and PACK-RAT still had not emailed me an estimated arrival time.

Customer service is beyond terrible. We had the container delivered to our house, told them it was going to be there while we unpacked then had it picked up empty. It took a while (a year, ok don't judge on that part). I called to get a pick up, then realized they were still charging us for warehouse storage fees. I spoke to a nice person there, and he was going to get billing to refund the bill. The manager was gone (it was about 6:30pm) but he would submit it to them for the 12 months at $50 a month.

I used 1-800-PACK-RAT for interstate moving utilizing their loading service and long-term storage that I paid to be climate-controlled. My household goods were stored for over a year. Upon delivery, I immediately discovered significant impact damage and material degradation affecting multiple items, including furniture, boxed goods, and heat-sensitive items that had been stored inside protective containers.

I scheduled my moving pods 2 months in advance. This company is impossible to get a hold of. They changed my date with out telling me even after I called the night before to confirm which took me 40 mins on hold to do. The stress of moving is enough without having to deal with all of this. I will not use them again. I did my last move with PODS and I should have just used them again.

Started off ok with a great driver who came and took our container to Glen Burnie - Then came the nightmare of making it impossible to call Glen Burnie directly to get access to our container and when we finally did they kept charging us for the one we'd already emptied. We are out over $600 in storage for an empty container. Not good and I expected a refund and instead they denied my request while charging my card again without my permission
Thank you for sharing your experience. We apologize for the inconvenience you faced with accessing your container and the billing issues. Your feedback is important, and we will review our processes to prevent similar situations in the future.
I was 15 minutes late and had to pay $50 to drop off my load. The reason I was late was because 1-800 in VA started at 9am instead of 8am. These people are just scammers. If you are late, come with $20, $30, $50 and they will drop off your load after you give them the money. 😂 1-800-Package is a disgrace …
We're sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating late fees can be. Our policies are in place to ensure efficient service for all customers. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continually strive to improve our services.
Had a confirmation for delivery today 7/26/25. The unit never showed up and after being on hold with customer service for 45mins, I was told my delivery had been rescheduled for tomorrow. This was all without a word, no email, no text, no phone call. Needless to say I will find other means to move.

In their own words
I used pack-rat for a recent move. I was very limited on my time frame for moving. I called them the week before I needed the container and they were able to accomodate me. The customer service rep was very nice and placed my order rather quickly. I ordered a 16ft pod and it was delivered when they said with no issues. The driver John was super friendly and helpful with my questions and making sure I knew how it worked. He dropped it off and then 5 days later picked it up.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our service. We're delighted to hear that our team was able to accommodate your schedule and that both our customer service and delivery met your expectations. It's great to know that John … More
Military move. Driver named Kam, communicative during transport of containers to local base. Talked about importance of weight tickets. Really appreciate customer service.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us. We're pleased to hear that Kam provided excellent communication during your military move. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and helps us maintain high standards of service.
Kam Was the driver who delivered the pod to my home. He had an extraordinarily difficult job because pack rat sent me a 12 foot pod instead of what I ordered an 8 foot pod coming from Florida to Maryland, but Kam got it done and got it in the parking spaces. He did a great job and was very patient and skilled. Which has been the best part of this whole ordeal for me.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear that Kam provided exceptional service despite the mix-up with the pod size. Your feedback is invaluable, and we appreciate your understanding and patience. We're glad Kam's efforts made a positive impact on your experience.
Our drop off driver really did a great job. He was patient and took his time as our driveway and backyard are on a hill and very awkward. He took his time to make sure everything was safe and in a good position to unload. Very courteous and respectful!!
Thank you for sharing your positive experience. We're delighted to hear that our driver provided excellent service and handled the challenging conditions with care and professionalism. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will be shared with the team.
