PODS Storage

SAVE YOURSELF TIME, AGGRIVATION, AND DAMAGE TO YOUR STUFF AND CHOOSE SOMEONE ELSE!!! I cannot say enough bad things about PODS and our experience with them. I get infuriated every time I think about them and we moved in February! Yep, I am still angry due to their incompetence.
The sales people have no idea what they are doing; recommend a size that your house will «definitely» fit in and then when the POD is dropped off, it’s clearly evident there is NO way its big enough. Luckily my husband and I are minimalists. If we were pack rats, who knows how many we would have needed. We even hired professional movers to pack it for us to optimize the space and packing and they confirmed PODS are the worst way to go. When no other choice is left and you have to order a second POD for the rest of your house, they add ridiculous fees to it, can’t get it to you in a timely manner, don’t pick them both up at once, which means they won’t be dropped off together (so make sure what you absolutely need to live is in the first b/​c the 2^nd will arrive at least a week later). You end up spending more money than if you hired cross country movers to move it all at once, and you end up getting them in different shipments.
They tell you they have a patented way to pick up the POD so it stays even and all your stuff is protected, yet both our PODS arrived with everything shifted to the side like the right sides were dropped on both. Also, most of our furniture (expensive, real wood), which was professionally wrapped, was damaged during the trip.
Stay as far away from them as possible. Don’t buy their sales pitch that it’s cheaper and more stress free than moving yourself. In the end, it will cost you more money and headaches than moving already entails!
