Undisclosed Prices

Prices on the moving resources, packing and unpacking services, moving labor and other resources is not disclosed as well. Knowing the prices that might cost you to move is a simple way to reduce stress and compare moving services near you.Time in Business
Even though Pods is very unique and flexible solution to moving and storing, they haven't been in business as long as other moving companies. If you are looking for moving business with a more established reputation, Pods might not fulfill that qualification.The Bottom Line

When it is all over, I hope to give a good review since I sacrificed to get the POD and felt good about it as it would help me pack even though it's too hot to put half the crates in until just prior to shipping. I am renting it for a min. of 2 months - maybe a bit more.
I still have to hope the POD arrives safely in Ohio when I call them; yet, I've called 3 times asking them to move it 2 feet since the very nice young man who delivered it and I did not realize my car needed more room to get by it. They would only move it for $186.00 which I can not justify paying with all on me. As a result, my car has been scratched (every time I go out) on one side and the top, and now, it will cost me a fortune to have my car painted. With 5 years of tragedy on me and a few rough years ahead (parents' deaths ending life for me since they were my world I adored, one flooded house 12 hrs. away, one hit by a hurricane, no life insurance, all 3 of our dogs died - one each year, and a severe spine injury), everything has gone wrong, so it is sad that this has happened with the POD.

We had a positive experience with PODS for storage and an awful experience with them for the moving part. They refused to deliver our unit anywhere in our new neighborhood. They claimed the streets were too small or too busy. Despite many neighbors using various services and the city approving our permit...they told us the only option was to pay an exorbitant amout of money to move then unit from IN to OH and then to rent a uhaul and move all of the things from the Pod to the uhaul and then into our house. It was a totally inefficient process and financially ridiculous. We did end up having to rent 2 uhauls and unloaded the items from our Pod and drove them to Ohio ourselves. It was a negative experience and the Ohio rep was VERY rude.

Rented 2 large storage containers for drop off and relocation while moving. They did not follow the instructions left on their website, which they request, and it was a disaster getting it resolved. They tried charging me multiple moving fees and extra storage days. Had to resolve through their main HQ in Florida but I will never use them again!
