1-star Google reviewMarilyn R.11 months ago
Service requested - good. Quality of the pod - good. Value - reasonable, but the delivery placement and care depend upon the driver's experience. They DO NOT honor legitimate, proven claims. We are left with damaged goods, and a destroyed expensive TV. Be wary when doing business with this company. Around the beginning of July (2025) we signed a contract with this company to deliver 4 pod units for us to use during our move. Everything went well with the first 3 pods.

Horrible company. Horrible Communication. Delayed my POD for 2 weeks because they spelled my email incorrectly. They didn't even bother to try to contact me to let me know about any issues that were going on with our account. They assumed we knew which its kinda hard to know when you send details to the incorrect email address that they typed in. Then we only had 2 days to unload our pod or they stated they would charge us another $323.70 for another months rental.

*UPDATE* My account was taken for review after providing this feedback. They put on a good face, the gentleman I worked with was very professional and a personable. However as far as business practices go, my original review stands. Either save the money and go UHAUL, or go all the way and get professional movers. PODS is worth nowhere near what they end up charging you.

Betrayal, I checked my account today and I was charged the $279. this they explicitly said they would write this wrong and they haven’t. I have messaged the team in hopes they will fix their error but until then they shouldn’t even get one star A Victory of Endurance I must offer a nod of appreciation to PODS for finally resolving this matter. It is always a relief when bureaucracy yields to common sense, though I rather wish it hadn't required a minor crusade to get there.

My experience with PODS was not a good one and I’m still bothered by the whole ordeal. They delivered the unit fine. But the problem started when I scheduled them to pick up the pod and move it to another location. I scheduled it a week out. We were supposed to be out of the house we sold on a Thursday between 9am-12pm and we had it ready to go by Tuesday. On Thursday morning I received a phone call around 10:45am from pods stating that due to unforeseen circumstances they will not be able to pick my pod up today.

First of all, the communication is HORRIBLE. There are major system delays and the agents never had the same answers or the correct information for delivery windows, delivery dates, etc. I spent 4+ hours and multiple phone calls during a …

We were charged over $300 per month rental and almost $3000.00 to transfer from California to Washington state, which I don't have a problem with. When we first set this up, we were told that as long as the transfer to our new place was …

5-star Google reviewLorie W.9 months ago
Our customer service agent, Ferdinand, located in the Philippines, was phenomenal. He was very understanding and clear in communication. He helped me find a good discount and gave good suggestions. I was very happy with his help. Likewise, the gentleman who delivered our container. Martin M. was extremely professional and worked within our preferences to drop it where we needed it. He was very kind and did a great job.

PODS made my entire storage and moving experience incredibly easy from start to finish. Their customer service was exceptional clear communication, helpful answers, and zero stress throughout the process. Pickup and delivery were smooth and right on time, and the workers were professional, friendly, and respectful of my belongings. Everything felt well-organized and handled with care. I highly recommend PODS whether you need short-term or long-term storage. They truly made the whole process simple and seamless.

Richard was absolutely fantastic! He delivered our POD with great care, professionalism, and a friendly attitude. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was placed perfectly, making the process smooth and stress-free. His efficiency and kindness did not go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate his hard work (which he made look easy) Thank you, Richard, for making our move easier! Highly recommend!
