I would give ZERO stars if it allowed me!!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!! We had a POD scheduled to be delivered last night (September 13) between 3-6pm and it NEVER showed up!! Between last night and this morning I’ve spoken to at least 20 different customer service representatives and no one can give me answers. They don’t allow you to call/speak to anyone who works at the actual storage store that your POD is coming from, only customer service representatives who are answering the phones from Florida.

We ordered 2 pods a week apart. The first pod came. Door was faulty and they forgot the lock we paid for. When delivering the second pod, the driver destroyed our lawn causing $4000.00 in damage to a property and the truck had to be towed off our property that was to be listed for sale. We can’t list as we had to get the lawn repaired. We contracted Pods about the quality of the first pod and the damage done by the second. We got no response.

I ordered a pod to be delivered on Saturday. My 4 hour window came and went, no call no pod. I call customer service who clearly had no idea how to help me but vaguely "assured me" that the pod was coming, either Saturday night, or maybe Sunday or Monday. Monday comes, still no pod, no call. I call customer service again and get the same non-answer that they can "assure me" it's coming but they don't know when. Tuesday, no pod, no call.

This company is ignoring my claim! I stored kitchen cabinets in a pod because they say they are weather proof. About 4 inches of water accumulated in the iPod and damage a few cabinets. I sent my claim in the early Fall of 2020 and it’s March 2021. My claim has been ignored despite sending pictures in of the water accumulation in the pod and pictures of the damaged kitchen cabinets.

We ordered a pod 2 weeks prior, the day before they called my wife's phone @4:45, nobody answered so they cancelled the order. They claimed, we cancelled the order. It gets worse, the support person can't reverse the order and the pod was released to another customer. We are told we would have wait another week AND they wanted to charge us more for their screw up!

Bottom line up front: Do not use this company. Go with Uhaul or anyone else. PODS initially lied to me about my delivery dates and didnt tell me until the POD was fully loaded and ready to be picked up. Their response? "Well you can cancel your order and get a refund" You and i both know im not going to unload a 16ft container on the day im supposed to move. Classic bait and switch scam. Then we finally get to the delivery date. They give me a window of 0730-1030am for POD delivery.

Please DO NOT ever use PODS for moving or storage. They have horrible customer service. I was quoted one price when I booked the POD now they told me it was $700 just to move it to another facility and another $200 to deliver it to my house. I requested to speak with a supervisor, they told me none were available that they would have to call me back. Needless to say, I never got a call. I called back today and I received a quote for $340 to another facility with $190 delivery fee.

5-star Google reviewKatya B.3 years ago
Perhaps like many we were first apprehensive of the mixed reviews of PODS on Yelp, but good reviews from friends and 30% discount from PODS on the three containers we rented were the deciding factors. We were very satisfied with the services that we have received: the PODS were delivered on time, time windows were communicated clearly via website, drivers called 30 mins prior delivery and pick up; the drivers were polite, patient and professional. The PODS were clean and in excellent condition.

Excellent experience from first to last. Easy to order with quick availability. Delivery driver was superb. I was happy to see he was also the pickup driver. He handled the delivery machine like a complete pro near my new garden wall. Phone communication people were also excellent. I used PODS for temporary storage of garage items. If you put cardboard or other items that even small amounts of water can damage, I suggest putting them on a raised platforms.

5-star Google reviewTrish L.5 years ago
I was extremely hesitant to use PODS, given the reviews here. My husband convinced me that any headache would be worth it, especially since we were moving locally. He was right. We had an overall great experience. The POD was delivered the morning they said it would be (I received an e-mail and text the night before with a timeframe, the driver called 20 minutes ahead of time to let us know). The window of time for pick-up/transport to new address was pushed back a few hours, which was no issue for us.

Hi, Trish! We’re happy that you're pleased with your service from PODS and look forward to doing business with you in the future. Thanks for the great review.

5-star Google reviewNate7 months ago
Moved from Las Vegas to New Jersey. The pod was originally quoted at a higher price than U Box but when I called a month later I recived a new quote which was 50% cheaper than the initial one so be sure to get quotes a few months out. As for the move, the pod was dropped off right on time and the driver called to let me know he was coming. The pod was clean and has a rubberized floor which prevents things from sliding. We packed many things in a moving wrap which prevents them from sliding around.
