In their own words
Edit 2: Pods will not do anything to help. Someone from corporate just called me and when I told her my life was in that pod and the stuff is now ruined, she said "i'm sorry your stuff is your life" in the most condescending tone I've ever heard. When I said she was forgiven, she said, I'm not apologizing. Truly one of the most unprofessional conversations I've ever heard.

PODS did not quote an accurate price. Also, I was charged for services that I did not order. Furthermore, they demonstrated a lack of professionalism, as they actually scheduled two deliveries of empty containers on two separate days when I only ordered one. They lost my container in their files and overcharged me for the order that was placed. When I submitted a charge dispute, there was no response.

This is the worst experience with any company I have ever had in my life! The day the pod was scheduled to be delivered they no showed no called. The only communication I had with the company was initiated by me. They rescheduled and assured me I would be the first delivery the next morning. They showed up within the 3 hour window this time (barely) then preceded to tell me they could not leave the pod on the grass without a signed waiver.

I used pod storage containers in Atlanta Georgia the driver called me letting me know he couldn’t find my location I gave the driver directions again. He then told me that he was in front of my home and he Saw my apartment number on my shutters. The driver Told a lie he in fact drop the Pod off in a abandon lot Nowhere near my unit.

NEVER EVER EVER EVER USE THIS COMPANY! I had a delivery scheduled between 2-5 pm on Saturday... I get a call at 7pm Saturday saying that the caller has had the "worst day of his life" and that his people called out and my pod won't be delivered until first thing Monday morning (which is the start of school for my kids in a new school district). Then he went on to say that he couldn't refund any of my moving costs. THEN INSTEAD OF FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING IT GETS SCHEDULED FOR 1:45-4:45.
This is very disappointing to hear as it's not the experience we had anticipated for you, Jesse. Please email [email removed] with your customer ID so we can take a closer look into this and get to the bottom of what caused the delay.
We chose PODS Moving & Storage for the convenience and flexibility it offered while storing our belongings in preparation for selling our home. However, it all went downhill when they tried to pick up the POD. The POD was placed on a steep driveway, which complicated the pickup process. The situation became even more frustrating when one of the drivers attempted to contact a manager for assistance while on-site.

Absolutely egregious! My grandparents ordered a pod and was available and ready to meet with the driver at the allotted time of delivery (8am - 11am) to discuss where it would be placed on the property. The driver came before the specified time, and did not reach out to confirm where to drop the pod before leaving. He simply dropped it and left. The main problem was IT WAS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND BLOCKED THE ENTIRE DRIVEWAY!!!

I can't even explain how much improvement is needed! My items were scheduled to be deliverd to me on a certain day and I received a call the night before, not to tell me what time my items would be delivered, but a call to tell me I would have to wait at leasgt 3 weeks longer for my items to be shipped! NO WAY! The same type of response when I requsted a pick up. 3 weeks! It just amazes me!

In their own words
PODS DID THEIR THING! I have to give PODS their credit because I’m not even going to lie, I was NERVOUS. 😂 I just knew I was going to open that container and find something broken, scratched, shifted, leaning sideways, SOMETHING! Especially after having my furniture stored and then transported. NOPE! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 My POD was delivered ON TIME, my belongings were untouched, and when I opened it, everything was exactly how it was supposed to be. Nothing broken. Nothing damaged. Nothing missing.
We appreciate you taking the time to share this review with us, Jazzy! We have your back when you need us again!
Excellent customer service and communication. The packers were professional, efficient and handled all items with care. The PODS drivers and office team are easy to work with when changes occur last minute .
Kudos to our stellar team! And thank you, Janice, for acknowledging their commitment to delivering exceptional customer care! We're looking forward to working with you again soon!
PODS Atlanta gave us a great moving experience for a great price. Every pickup and delivery was on time. We received courtesy calls and emails prior to pickups and deliveries to confirm that all information was correct. We didn't have to stay home and wait for them to come, we just had to make sure that it was locked. Job well done PODS Atlanta!
So far my experience with pods has been great. They delivered my two units on time and picked them both up on time. I opted to have my units store at their pods facility since my house won't be finished being built for a couple months. I needed to get some boxes out that were Christmas gifts for the kids so I called and scheduled an appointment to have the pod pulled down from storage so I can go through it and take out the items I needed. They guy that drives the fork lift was great and I really liked his energy.
Congratulations on the new home, Darren! We bet you can't wait to get in it! :-) It's been a pleasure assisting you with your moving/storage needs!
