PODS is a horrible company, their online system is simple and easy to use but the buck stops there entirely. I ordered the POD for the 24th it was moved to the 27th by the company (I was notified of the change). Then like most companies they give you a window of time, mine was from 1:15-4:15, at 4:30 I called the company to request an update on when I might see the POD. They said in 45-50 mins. That was alright...ish. Then after 60 min I called again they said they would have the driver call me. Dante was great (not trying to shoot the messenger here)! He explained to me that he was not going to be able to deliver the POD that night because the company would not allow him to take one due to the fact that the weigh station was closed for the night (we would not have had this issue had the company not overloaded Dante's schedule for the day making it impossible for him to succeed). So he called his supervisor and they came to the agreement that I was going to get the POD that night but that I would need to move my stuff to a different POD the following Monday (I was driving my car from MA to CO starting Sunday so that would have been impossible). The POD finally arrived at nearly 8pm! I can honestly say that I will never be using PODS again, including deterring friends from making my same mistake!

It's not the POD's fault but we were told it would fit 5 rooms but half of our stuff is in my parents' garage because it didn't fit in the 16' unit. However, the drivers were really flexible and the customer service was top notch. Delivery was prompt and pricing was competitive.

Using the PODS for moving was much easier compared to regular storage. If you do not have a place to move in yet, you can use it for storage and only need to load and unload once. The service from Middletown, PA was very nice. I will recommend it to anyone who need to move.

PODS was a super convenient and cost-effective way to move across the country. I would highly recommend it. I had a few glasses break, but I'm sure they would have been broken any way I moved. The vast majority of the stuff made it just fine, even with not the greatest packing on the load-in end of things. I recommend using a quality mover who knows how to pack a POD versus just a regular moving truck. Customer service was always very responsive. I'm glad I chose PODS!

This crew took advantage of a 84 year old man that couldn't really supervise them or really know better. I hired another crew the following week and were able to get everything done in just over two hours. Almost a complete house when these guys only moved items in two bedrooms in three hours. I imagine if I was there to ride heard I would have fired them or they would have stepped up. My bad for being out of time for my dads needs, but I had hoped this company would have performed better and not be rude to its customer.

Awesome. So convenient. My 2 bdr apartment fit in one 16 ft pod. Had them pick it up and didn't need to be there. They stored it until we were ready and a simple call got it right to our new place. Price right on par with other companies, but this style of moving wins out. Highly recommend.

The POD was overall a pretty good experience. The only complaint that I had was that I specified which way the door should be facing and they showed up with it facing the wrong way, both times. That, and the delivery window that they give you is meaningless. Otherwise I thought it was a good thing.

Well.... this site if forcing me to review the PODS when I don't even have my stuff back yet. I want to review the movers who loaded it, and to do that I also have to do this part, which I am really not ready to do yet. I am sure that when I have my stuff sent to me from the PODS storage facility it will be fine. But since I am still mid-move, I really can't say yet.

Over all I was very please with PODS. They delivered everything they promised. The only negative I have is they did not estimate very well on how many PODS I would need to make my move. I had to rent a 10' U-Haul and make 2 trips in it to accommodate all my belongings.

PODs met our expectations for service and reliability. The PODs were delivered, picked up, and moved across country on the days promised. The customer service was very good and we liked that you can do a chat session with a representative on the PODs website. We chose PODs after considering three companies and chose PODs based on price and reputation. We would definitely use them again and recommend them.

Pods is one of the really great ideas about moving to come along in quite a while, it really makes things pretty darn easy. Clean well-maintained containers, friendly people delivering them. The truck to deliver the pod also looks well-maintained. Customer service has been great if I ever need to move anything again I will certainly put pods at the top of my list. M.D. Burns

Not as easy to work with as I would have liked. They don't deliver on weekends. Refused to park pod in the street without a permit which the City of San Antonio had to fabricated because they don't have any such a thing. Really the quality of how your things arrive depends on how well you pack it.

PROS: I appreciated that you could do just about everything online (set up, sign, pay, etc.), if you pack it right your stuff won't move, works great if you have a private driveway and can take advantage of keeping it for several days to pack/unpack at your own pace. CONS: If you don't have a private driveway (condo or apt), the last minute notification regarding drop off/pick up time makes it nearly impossible to schedule any help loading/unloading. Busy condo/apartment complexes often don't allow them over more than one night, and it could feasibly arrive at 5:00 PM and be picked up at 8:00 AM the next morning. No control of timing in any circumstance can make this impossible for some.

First time using the POD system. Our experience was terrific! Easy to schedule on website; POD arrived "on time". Driver called day of arrival informing when he would arrive. Robert, driver, took great care in positioning the POD on our driveway.The POD was clean & ready for our shipment. Two days later Robert returned & removed the POD, very carefully, for the trip to Texas storage. The POD system was exactly perfect for our needs.
