In their own words
When I first called to get my estimate to use PODS, the customer service was wonderful and the pricing was great, so I went with them for my move from New Orleans to Atlanta. Its been 3 months and I am now settled and called to get my POD delivered to my new house. All of a sudden things are very different. The customer service with each person I've spoken to since my initial call has been awful, terrible customer service, to the point of rude and unprofessional.
My sister closed on her home last week. Details were worked out so that her two pods would be delivered to her new home on the same day. Instead, one of the pods went back the their "warehouse" and the other is still sitting at her old home and she's being told they won't be delivered until the 10th. The new owner of the old home is calling and harassing my sister - threatening to destroy her property or sue her, because the pod is still there.
MJ, we're disappointed to read you've had this type of experience. We want to be able to have this looked into further. Please email [email removed] with your customer ID so we may best assist.
Appalled. Angry and Bitter. Read the 1 star reviews to understand your risks with using Pods. There are many other companies that do the same thing that are local, loyal and have a desire to do the right thing. Use them instead of Pods. We have 3 small kids and the delivery of our Pods were CANCELLED! They were instead designated for Customer Pick Up! What? Like I’m going to put a Pod in the back of my pickup truck!?
This certainly isn't how we want you to feel, Eric. We'd be more than happy to check in with our team and get an update on their review of your account. Can you please email [email removed] with your customer ID?
DO NOT USE PODS! This company is a joke. The sheer incompetence and pitiful customer service will blow you away. The fact that they are still in business is from people like me not doing research prior to booking the service. Lesson learned. Once they have you locked in to paying them all the flashy appealing red carpet gets pulled up immediately. Delivery window? Don’t expect them to stick to it. Proper placement of the unit. Forget that. If you want them to fix their obvious incompetence, good luck.

Moved my stuff into a pod in Nevada. Went on a work trip for like 4-5 years. Didn’t plan on being gone that long. Paid 300 a month so almost 20k in storage fees. Originally thought I was moving to Ft. Lauderdale Florida. Well ended up moving to Knoxville Tennessee .my contract was roughly 2500$ to be delivered to Ft. Lauderdale from Nevada. Well I just bought a house in Knoxville so I called to change my delivery address to Knoxville .

Our final pickup was never completed as scheduled. No explanation given, but a new pick up had to be rescheduled for over a week out resulting in us having to pay for the container for extra time not originally accounted for. The driver who delivered to our final destination ran over our plants. The driver who picked it up came no where near the same plants. We originally scheduled two pod pick ups from the same location on different dates, but with both having the same delivery date.

This was the most terrible moving experience I've ever had. I used PODS to pick up items from my home, store items at my rental property, and finally to transport my items to my new home. The cost to transport two 16' units and to rent them for a month was a bit high, but you pay for the convenience, right? There was not much convenient about working with this company. You are given a delivery/pickup window by email that you should completely disregard. You will get a call the day prior with an actual window.
We can understand how you're feeling and would like to research this further, Candace. Can you please email [email removed] with your customer ID?
NEVER USE THEM!!!! IM STILL WAITING ON MY THINGS TO ARRIVE OVER A WEEK AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSED TO!!!! When the pod was originally being dropped off we had set an afternoon time due to parking at my old place being hard to find. At 7am I started receiving calls from a rude and pushy delivery driver. I explained that this is 7 hours before the scheduled drop off time and there wouldn’t be any places to put the pod.

In their own words
Our PODS experience was painless! The container arrived on time, was quickly in place and ready to use. The quoted price was exact, and there were no surprises. We scheduled a pick-up time, and again the driver was on time, courteous, and efficient.
We’re happy that you're pleased with your service from PODS and look forward to supporting your moving and storage needs again in the future. Thanks for the great review, Martha!
So glad I did this! Honestly don't know how else I would have gotten my stuff moved such a long distance successfully and they made it so easy. Good price, helpful customer service, and safe transportation. Automated communication needs work but anything a customer service employee tells you will be 100% accurate.
Thanks for the awesome review, Andrew! We work hard to meet expectations such as yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you. Come back and see us soon. Cheers!
Pods was great! Had my mother's things moved from L.A. to Georgia on time. No damages and gave enough time to unload. The man driving the "Pozilla" was very helpful and courteous. His name is Phil. I recommend using Pods to anyone having to move!
Hi, Angie! We appreciate you taking the time to spread the word about your satisfaction with the level of service PODS provided. Thank you!
I recently used PODS moving and storage for a cross-country move, and I have to say, I was extremely impressed with the service I received. The process of booking a PODS container was incredibly easy, and the customer service team was very helpful in answering any questions I had. They worked with me to determine the best size container for my needs, and provided me with a detailed quote that included all fees and charges upfront.
We recognize you have many choices when it comes to moving and storing your belongings, Deep, and we're incredibly grateful you chose PODS! It was a pleasure working together with you! Let's do it again soon!
