I am a disabled veteran on a fixed income and I ordered my POD on the 29th of November order number ******* in order to move my family from ********** to *****. When speaking with a representative and hearing about the Pay as you go method, it helped me make my decision as moving to a new state is expensive, i felt this would give me room to make sure everything gets done. The problem is it isnt pay as you go. I paid for my move on the 7th for a move on the 16th. I felt lied too. At this point normally I would pull my business due to misinformation, but we were on a tight schedule to get it all done. All I would receive from conversations on the phone with PODS employees (lies or misinformation). After this, the drop off and pick up went well from ********** they were on time and besides the miss leading pay as you go this part went well. Friday December 30th I called to schedule drop off in *****. I was informed that the 3rd may be closed and that I would have to do the 4th as drop off and the 6th for pick up but the employee believed the 3rd was open and would request the 3rd. This wouldnt be a problem because I just need to schedule in order to be here and get things done with my family. On Friday the 30th or maybe Saturday the 31st of December I was called again by a PODS employee stating that the 3rd would work and they had me down for **** and I asked them to change my pickup date from the 6th to the 5th. They changed my pick up to the 5th and still drop off is on the 4th of January. I live in an apartment and if the pod is there for more than two days it would cost us. They are now attempting to tell me that they wouldnt be able to pick it up for almost 10 days possibly accumulating more charges. This entire process has caused my anxiety level to rise thru the roof and feel I may be falling into depression due feeling taken advantage of because of my time constraints as well as financial difficulties. This process has been very frustrating.Business Response

I had a POD in PODS storage facility at almost 500$ a month when I shipped it to a location in November the price was supposed to be 220 a month plus tax. They have been over charging me the storage facility price for entire duration instead of the on site price. I have contacted them via phone and email a 1/2 dozen or more times a month and have gotten incident reports and promises to reimburse me but thus far have not seen one cent and have been improperly billed even after contact has been made regarding my acct and issue.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I was told that no refund would be provided because they never said I would be charged the specified on site amount and that they dont have to. I was literally told that even though its on site I will be charged the price for in the storage facility because they never said they would change the price and dont have to (which makes no sense at all and seems criminally negligent) I told them to review the calls and contact me back because no one ever told me they would be still charging me that amount and Ive yet to hear back from them over a week later. Luckily I was overcharged again this month (January) so theres that.

I am in receipt of your correspondence concerning PODS customer *******************************. When a customer chooses to have a container taken to the facility for further storage,regardless of the duration, the order is booked with the monthly rental associated with our storage center rates. On January 25th, 2023, follow up was initiated with ************************ to confirm that no error was found on his account as PODS confirmed the monthly rental price upon booking. As no false promises were made upon booking regarding a reduction in price, no adjustments or compensation will be provided.

Complaint: 18675406
I am rejecting this response because: as you can see in the two attached photos the response from pods is that they didnt do anything wrong however you can see in my correspondences the issue is that I'm being charged for a service Im not receiving and the stance is even though I requested the removal and deposit to a different location to save money they not only didnt tell me I would still be charged said amount but let it happen because they also were able to charge me an additional delivery fee to said location. Im of the mindset that this was all a scam to price ***** customers.

Back in August of 2022 we ordered a PODS storage unit. The unit was used for on-site storage at our home during repair to our house. The unit was only needed for a month. We finished with our Pod a week early. We contacted the company to have the unit removed early. After three requests by me, over four days, they finally picked up the Pods unit. We paid our bill. Now we are seeing a charge from PODS for $83.35 three months after we paid the bill. We paid our bill in full, through our insurance company back in September. There is no indication of what this additional charge is for. We are disputing this charge.Business Response

We hire PODs because we heard good things about them. They had us pay for the travel fee in advance even though we werent set on a location wether wed move to ******** or ***** or even stay in **********. They said theyll refund ** if we didnt move out of state and that theyll call ** or inform ** before they would ship our pod to ******** if we make the decision to move and in the meantime theyll store it in their ******* location. They shipped our pod 2 weeks after it was stored and they also sent us to collections and never notified us in anyway that we had a past due balance. Weve been calling to try to get our pod back to ********** but they are trying to charge ** ***** for their mistake and if we didnt call they would have auctioned our pod. They are a horrible horrible horrible service. DO NOT USE THEM! It happens so often apparently.Business Response

June 2022 hired a pods container in ******** **. November 22, 2022 called the 800# for pods and scheduled a delivery of said container to ************ **, for December 2, 2022. More than their 5 day requirements. We drove from MI to ******************* on December 1, 2022. Called that evening to confirm delivery for the next day. December 2, 2022 no call or email. Called the 800# at 10am to get a status, only to be told the pod was still in **. We spent over 5 hours on the phone getting the run around from so called customer service reps who lied multiple times. At 6pm that day we finally got a call from pods stating the pod would be delivered December 9th!!!! But could possibly be earlier. With that being the possibility, we had to stay in ** waiting for delivery. We called everyday for update being told it should be tomorrow. On the 9th we were told delivery by noon. The pod did not arrive until 3:30pm. We are trying to get a refund, they say they don't do that, we are trying to get our weeks expenses compensated. We are getting the run around still, with them asking for our actual bank statements instead of receipts. We paid over $4000 to this company with nothing but lies and heartache, not to mention $2000 in living expenses for the week we had to wait on pods to deliver our belongings. The company should be shut down.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:Even though a customer advocate was assigned like they stated, I have not heard back from anyone at PODS for two weeks now, and after attempts by myself to receive status updates or determination on my claim. They have not done anything that I know of once your office contacted them. I provided every document they asked for and with receipts. Not sure why they are non-responsive or willing to correct their mistake by compensating me a refund or reimbursement of my out-of-pocket expenses they caused me for using their service.
I personally think they are ignoring me or assisting me in resolving the issues they caused. They hate the fact I reached out to your office to file a complaint and now refuse to compensate me for their lack of service.

I am rejecting this response because:It has now been over a month that their "advocate" sent everything over to their supervisor for approval and I have not received any type of "resolution" from them.

Date: 02/16/2023
Complaint: 18663372
I am rejecting this response because:Not sure how they can say that they resolved something when the only one agreeing to what they offered is them. They rejected my receipts, which they requested, on the basis they didn't like the type of receipt provided...but by all legal and judicial standards, the receipt is binding and good. PODS has yet to provide company policy or procedure on this, even though I requested twice. Do they honestly think $700 is fair compensation for lodging/food for 3 people and 3 dogs during a 7-day period? At least provide the federal rate of $155/day. If they are willing to at least go to that amount instead of the $100, then I would take them seriously about trying to resolve this matter. How did they even come to that amount??? Like I stated, they have yet to provide documentation from their own policy and procedures on this. Seems they are just basing everything on their own personal feeling about what a receipt should be and not a legal one. I really don't want to file in small claims court but that *** turn out to be the only option left if your office is unable to do more to assist on this matter or PODS comes up to federal displacement amounts.

Pods originally told me my monthly rental fee was $245. It then jumped in a month to $642. Spoke to several reps and not one could tell me the reason why. 6 days before Christmas pods took over $2300 from my bank account when i already had a dispute on file. Now that i need my pod picked up, they wont pick up unless i pay my remainder balance of over $700. My account with them is locked and the only personal who can unlock the account is ignoring all my emails and phone messages. Please help me!Business Response

September - October 2022.I rented two 16' PODS for a long haul move from ********** ** to ***** **. I then asked for my belongings to be returned to ********** **. They missed 3 drop dates in ********** **,, no calls, they lost my belongings over a period of a few days,, no calls from them. I lost a lot of money paying movers to unload because they did not show up. I asked for compensation for the money I lost. They've been giving me the runaround for several weeks that I'll get paid. Today 12/28/22 I talked to 3 different representatives. Each had a different story about my refund. All refuse to let me speak with a manager and eventually after almost an hour of being put on hold, I get hung up on. I'm told I was refunded $1,537.10 on 12/22/22 but neither my on line bank statement or a representative at my bank can see any refund from PODS. I've asked repeatedly to speak with a manager but I always get hung up on. Today, the last representative said I will geta call from a manager which I highly doubt will happen.

I am rejecting this response because: After everything I've been thru, the countless phone calls, email and hours I've spent with zero replies, begging someone to call and or email me, PODS saying they take a customers value serious is just nonsense and a complete lie. The ONLY reason they recently reached out to me was my reaching out to the BBB. I received a phone call on 12/28/2 from *********************** @ PODS. She explained she's on a team who handles complaints submitted to the BBB and again, the ONLY reason I received a phone call from PODS was because I made some noise contacting the BBB. I gave her the full story what happened, she apologized and PODS did compensate me $1,000.00 for my trouble but it comes nowhere near the cost of my time and aggravated stress they've cause myself and my wife, and that's pretty much it. PODS should be investigated for horrible service. The stress they've caused for myself and my wife is beyond words.

This is the worst moving company in the world. Ever since the order and attempting to have a charge paid for my mother who is 80 had so much stress. She was taking care of the transport cost only and was then charged. I was on hold and with them so many times and had to take time out of my day. They want to charge me a cleaning fee when I did have damage to my property and they claim it is based on how it was packed. I am going to be fighting this decision as well.

I contacted pods in March of 2021 to move from ********** to *****. I got a quote from the customer service rep for a $1063 or $1069 . I was asked if I wanted to lock that price in as she could not be sure if I had to call back or schedule at later date that I would get that price I said yes lock it in I then called back to schedule my POD to be delivered to me in ********** in April I got my pod Then I called to schedule the pick up and delivery and found out that she did not lock my price in as I was told I started a dispuit and it has been now almost 9 months I've been without my personal belongings. I was in the right i feel because after PODs listened to the taped conversation (took them 7 months) and they still have not sent my stuff, In October they sent me an email asking me The resolution I was looking for so I respond I just want my pod. I have paid them $1500 I have been billed $258 a month now for 8 months For storage of my pod that should not be stored it should have been sent to me appropriately.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I have already been disputing for 9 months now. I'm not interested in another 9 months while another customer service agent looks into it. They should just send my POD!

*********************** has been notified that the review found she confirmed with the booking agent that the origination & destination locations for the move were within **********, not that the destination would be in *****. The agent quoted the cost of the move based on the zip codes ************************ provided at that time. As PODS pricing is based on zip codes, if those change, the cost of the move can change accordingly.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:This is simply untrue. This agent did NOT listen to recorded conversation that CLEARLY stated I was moving to *****.
This company is a joke and treats its customers horribly! I am retired/disabled and do not appreciate being taken advantage of. I stated we were moving to ***** she needed zip to get quote i told her *****, looks like agent typed in ***** which was incorrect. PODs fault NOT mine. There are recordings to backup my claim. Stop holding my belongings hostage!

Pods canceled on ** last minute on Christmas Eve, today. Its 5:30PM and our delivery window was 11:45-245pm. No one called us so we had to call at 415. They told us theyd arrive in an hour. Then, someone called 30 Minutes later and told us that someone was sick due to weather. Well, we bought plane tickets to get our stuff and pack it to our new home. We leave on Wednesday and the best PODS can do is call us back Tuesday morning, what a trash company. They changed our credit card on 12/23, and dont care one but that we paid thousands of dollars in plane tickets to carry out this move.Business Response
