1-star Google reviewLaVeda M.4 years ago
I would give this business a Minus Star if possible. I have close to 5,000 Facebook friends and I am making sure they see the photos of the damage and everything that I went through with this service. I could have kicked my items across country and had a better experience. Horrible Company, Poorly trained workers, repeated over billing, or wrongful billing. Not Professional in personally responding on upper levels.

The services provided were not adequately explained. Apparently each location is franchised and fees add up with multiple transports. Additionally, although our location was listed on the website, the local franchise did not want to deliver there. I was told I would have to pick it up at their warehouse. Pods main office intervened and the CSR was very helpful. I still incurred an extra charge to get the pods to our front door.

I never leave bad reviews and I hate to do this but I need to warn anybody else before they are put in the spot that we are currently in. We are closing on our current home on December 3rd and closing on a new home the same day. We were told that the PODS would be delivered on Monday, November 25th to our current home so we could load them. We were also told by a representative that we would only need to call 3-4 days in advanced to schedule the drop off date.

In all honesty, if I could rate the delivery drivers and SOME customer service reps separately, I would. The drivers are awesome and most of the reps I’ve dealt with were great as well. Where it lacks is the business overall AND management within the business. I booked 3 containers for a military move, 2 -16’ and 1 - 8’. Drop off went without issue (aside from a non-English speaking rep who decided to drop it in Colorado Springs, when I Lived I.

We were very satisfied with this company and their services until it came time to schedule delivery of our pod. We moved out of state and weren't sure what zip code we would end up in. When we called to schedule delivery and give them our new address, they decided to charge us an extra $600 to drive past our new address and turn around and come back to us.

1-star Google reviewGreene I.a week ago
Did not honor dates of quote, the container was picked up empty because the HOA would not allow to sit on property 10 days for first available pickup. I scheduled drop on 8/11, pick up & move to new location on 8/13. I was unable to complete the move I traveled from Miami, & now the family that was counting on unloading container this weekend is inconvenienced as well.No customer service, just an offshore call center who was no help at all.

misleading delivery and pickup fees, they changed my pickup date(on there own) to an earlier date because they did not have a driver available. I spoke to customer service and explained that my pickup was supposed to be on the 20th but they changed it to the 18th. Since they can't tell you what time pickup will be i needed to have the pod empty on the 17th, the crew i had installing my new floors on the 17th did not finish until about 5pm.

5-star Google reviewCarrie D.10 months ago
I had a great experience with my pod delivery. The entire process was smooth from start to finish. Scheduling was easy, and the delivery arrived right on time. The driver, Calvin, was professional, careful with placement, and made sure the pod was set exactly where I needed it. He took the time to help me clear the door where my belongings had shifted during movement. The unit itself was clean, sturdy, and secure—perfect for my move/storage needs. Pickup was just as efficient, with great communication throughout.

5-star Google reviewBrittany B.a year ago
If you are considering PODS for your move...DO IT!! We moved from Michigan to Huntsville, Alabama and had a 2 month gap between houses, so we opted to give PODS a try. The customer service at every step was awesome...friendly & knowledgeable people, no pressure, just a smooth experience. I loved the portal on their website, you can monitor and adjust your delivery dates with ease and keep an eye on each step of the process.

4-star Google reviewSean B.4 years ago
Started with no idea how to go about renting a POD. After a quick phone call I had everything clearly explained down to the finest detail I could ask. Service representative was easy to understand and very patient with me, giving me the details I asked for without trying to up-sale anything I didn't obviously need or have use for. A scheduling error on my part forced me to have to reschedule my initial delivery and pick-up dates and I was able to do that with literally no problems.
