In their own words
Military Moves beware! For Military families we know how stressful moving can get and especially with frequent moves you learn to just pack your own stuff to avoid months of waiting for reimbursement for damaged goods. The convenience and idea of PODS is great! In fact our whole move went really smooth and customer service was great. Deliveries and pick ups on both ends from departure and arrival went perfectly.
We can understand how you're feeling and would like to research this further, Tyler. Can you please email [email removed] with your customer ID?
The driver wouldn't pick up the container because of the weather, then marked it as picked up anyway, and has now been sitting in our driveway for two weeks! We've called their 800 number a million times, and when they attempt to contact the Conway PODS facility it always goes to voicemail. So unprofessional! Our customer number is 169334087. Maybe we should turn it into an office or recording studio!
Hi, Anthony! We’re disappointed to see this. We encourage you to send us an email at [email removed] with your customer ID and additional details, so we may best assist.
There was a delay by PODS and they never compensated us for their problem. Meanwhile we had to adjust our crazy schedules to accommodate them. Grrr!
We appreciate your feedback, Rachel. Understanding your experience is important to us, and we’d like to learn more about the situation you encountered. Please send us an email at [email removed] with your customer ID and additional details so we can address your concerns. Thank you.
These crooks continued to place additional charges to our visa, and ripped us for an additional $2,000. Over our original cost of $10,000. These people will steal all kinds of arronious fees and charges. DO NOT USE this company - they're really underhanded and very slippery!

The delivery and pickup of our POD from our starting point was great. I scheduled the delivery to our new home well in advance and was told it would be here on Monday, May 17. On that morning, we received a call that said it had been delayed. Until the following Saturday. There was no explanation of why and no apparent recognition of the problems the delay might cause. I asked to be contacted by someone in customer service, saying I wanted my billing to be adjusted due to the problems they created.

We're currently moving from OH to SC and sincerely regret using the PODs to move. We've spoken with at least 3 people so far and each has told us something different. We were given a price and said we had until xx day to confirm and get that price. I called back and, no that's not correct your offer already expired, the new price is more expensive. After we agreed on the new price we get emails about a better discount, but when I call they tell me they can't apply that discount (that they emailed directly to me).
Thank you for sharing your experience, Donald. We strive for clarity and consistency, and your feedback highlights areas for improvement. We’d like to investigate this further. Please send us an email at [email removed] with your customer ID and additional details.
Unbelievably bad. $6.25/mile to deliver my PODS to my new home in another state. Spent >8 hours on hold, on chats with an idiot chatbot, and on calls with people who tried to help but the systems wouldn't let them (no exaggeration. I documented it). Mice got into one PODS while in storage, ruining rugs. Scheduled deliveries were cancelled without warning, then not honored.

DO NOT USE PODS! My belongings were in a 16ft storage container in Gardiner, ME for about a year before being delivered to the Conway facility. Upon unpacking my belongings, I discovered that everything was covered in dust, dirt, and leaves and smelled FOUL. Turns out, I found a mouse nest in one of the boxes and a massive pile of feces. There’s mysterious brown stains on the boxes and splattered all over a glass top table and I can only assume it is urine.

In their own words
Brian delivered our POD on time in a Flood, Waterspout and Tornado warning! 10 inches of rain fell in vicinity in the area! He arrived and was very professional and quick during a day of downpours from the heavens! After he left he actually still came back so I would have help opening a POD with a load shift! Certainly made our day of too much rain work! 10 out of 10 besides being a polite professional! Thank you Brian and POD!
Kudos to our stellar team! And thank you, John, for acknowledging their commitment to delivering exceptional customer care! We can't wait to share this with the rest of our team!
The entire experience from my first phone call for a quote to the final pick up of the empty POD was exceptional! I had never moved using PODS before but, in the future, I will never move any other way after working with this company. Everyone was courteous and professional. The price was right and nothing was damaged during the move. It made my move so much easier as time could be taken loading and unloading the PODS. Thank you for offering such excellent service! A definite 5 star business:)
Thanks for the five-star review, Lisa! We have your back when you need us again!
PODS Moving & Storage was a lifesaver! The whole process was smooth from start to finish. The container arrived on time, was clean and gave me the flexibility to pack at my own pace. Pickup and delivery were right on schedule, and the customer service from Anthony M. was friendly and responsive. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an stress-free moving or storage option especially working with Anthony!
Thanks for the nice review! We're grateful to have been able to serve you, Ivanna!
Have used online movers previously. Never got billed what the original quote stated. Pods was quick, easy to order POD size, pickup and delivery, costs were to the dollar as quoted. Having complete control of the move, as to what was packed, how it was packed, where it was stacked, where it was in the POD worked very very well. Wish I had used PODs in previous moves.
Hi, Bryan! Thank YOU for choosing PODS and sharing this wonderful review with us. We count ourselves lucky for customers like you!
