POD's contract agreed to deliver my container on 9/7/22. On 9/7 I called and POD customer service confirmed 'it is coming but there is no delivery window yet' then it didn't arrive.On 9/8 no POD arrived. ********************* called to tell me it's not coming, and she doesn't know where it is. Maybe in *******, not sure where my POD is and not sure when it would arrive. On 9/9 Someone told me it would be delivered by 9/10. I called at 9pm to get a delivery window and all customer service people said it is coming on 9/10 guaranteed but could not give me a window of arrival. I got an email response by ******************************* in online support confirming 9/10 delivery.I called every day thereafter multiple times a day and PODS customer service continued to LIE to me with bad information and my POD was not delivered until 9/13 (even missing their driving window.) It was 5 days late and a complete disaster of a customer experience. I had to personally call the local office and ask them to check their yard for my missing POD.********************************* a Customer *************************** of the Executives emailed with me (taking several days to respond in between messages) and she offered my $375 for my experience but I have not received that credit yet 2 weeks later. I was out $261 for my mover alone in addition to this horrible experience so I don't think that is enough based on this experience.My desired resolution would be a 20% discount off my agreement with PODS for them missing their agreed delivery time and giving me wrong information over multiple days. I was in constant communication, but they couldn't tell me the truth. They lost my unit, and my family is the one who suffered for a week. I paid roughly $2700 for this service, and they missed the boat completely. I'm writing to the BBB to ask for help.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I have not had contact from PODS to me since September 26th, 3 weeks ago. I wouldn't classify that as "working with me" for a resolution. I am asking AGAIN they review my notes on file - and make this right with a 20% discount off service. I was offered $375 on Sept. 26th which barely covers me losing my mover because they did not deliver when they said they would. I think POD has dragged me through the mud long enough - almost a month now - and they need to make it right with a 20% discount off my service.Sincerely,

Complaint: 18234117
I am rejecting this response because: PODS is asking me to sign a form to receive the settlement monies. I have to talk to a layer about this before agreeing to sign off on their forms. They are saying I need to remove my past comments on social media that explained my experience through their survey form. I think that is asking me to lie to my friends and family about my experience and that doesn't feel right.I think POD should agree to the settlement without requiring me to remove my past experience from their survey. Can the BBB help me with this non-disclosure agreement form? Is this fair, and right? Do you think I should sign off on this? Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,

PODS did not deliver the moving unit on time. The container was late as PODS entered my address incorrectly and failed to correct it. Therefore the original pickup date was moved as they did not deliver the unit in time. I was living without my belongings for two weeks due to their error. They also made no effort to fix the issue and deliver the unit in a timely manner. After a two weeklong delay in delivering the unit I received it and filed for a pick up. PODS did not pick up the storage unit within the month and charged me for using it even though I had requested pickup and was not using the unit. This is because they failed to have staff or equipment to honor the pickup requests. I should not pay for their management deficiencies. I should not have to subsidize storing their unit when they fail to have it picked up in time.I would like a refund for the late delivery and storage of the unit.Business Response

I received a quote from PODs for my military move August 17 and had to utilize a representative because it was a military move. The rep. ********* the drop off date as 10 October, pickup date of 17 October, and drop off date at my next location on 24 October. Today is 17 October and pods cancelled my pickup without informing me. I only found out when I called pods to see why they had not notified me of a time window. Pods rescheduled everything one day to the right which was acceptable. Three hours later a pods rep calls and says they cannot pickup for the 24th and they dont know when they will deliver to my new address. I do not have the flexibility to move these dates. Pods agreed to a series of dates, cancelled without my knowledge, and now literally has left me with I dont know when it will be delivered but it wont be in your original time frame. I want PODs to deliver on their initial TWO promises OR refund me a significant portion of the charged fees as this is completely unacceptable.Customer Answer

We ordered two PODS for a long-distance move to be delivered in June 2022. When booked, we were assured the second one would be delivered at the time the first was collected. That second POD did not arrive; we contacted the company by web chat and phone, were assured it was late but would be delivered that day. It did not arrive. Nor did it arrive the following day, or the day after that. In fact, it never arrived despite spending over 200 minutes on hold or talking to customer service agents over the course of three days. We were given various excuses, including that it was stuck in traffic etc. The reality is, we were misinformed continuously by the company. We lost $500 in fees for movers that we had booked based on the assurances it was arriving. Unfortunately, with a time crunch upon us, and our departure date fixed, we had to give away thousands of dollars worth of belongings, including six bikes, kitchen equipment etc. The follow-up customer service was equally disappointing.A dispute seeking reimbursement for the movers we had booked (based on PODS reassurances) was opened on June 9th. We were informed we would received the first email in "7 10 days." No email arrived. Additionally, follow-up emails dated 06/20/22, 06/30/22, 07/07/22, 07/16/22 and 07/23/22 all went unanswered. Finally, a letter sent recorded delivery to PODS dated 09/02/2022 did not receive a response.Order number *******, Dispute number *******.Business Response

In August, I contracted with PODS for a delivery. The contract form allows placement on the yard next to the home. We are replacing a driveway and need the *** to be off the driveway. We were quoted a delivery fee of $159 and a non paved surface placement of $35. Both plus tax. When the delivery came, the driver said they could not place on the lawn and left the *** in the middle of the drive. I was then charged an off site storage fee of $319 instead of the $159 quote. I contacted the company and was told the non paved fee would be refunded and the $159 fee would be honored and I would receive a refund of $208.65. A ticket #******* recording this was made. This has not been honored. A feel this was a bait and switch . The web site to schedule allows on yard placement and I called to confirm this prior to delivery. I want the refund as promised and the storage fee of $159 to be honored until the *** is returned. I would have used a different company had I known the policy regarding placement.

I contracted Pods after I sold my property. They delivered it behind the house without problem or complain. I have been tried to have it removed and shipped and several timed the say the grass is wet. The picture attached here was taken 4 days after the hurricane and you can see the grass dry. They keep charging me storage and no matter how many times I call, they still dont pick up stating the grass is wet. I proposed to bring another PODs and I will move the belongings to the new container but they want to charge me for two containers instead of exchanging the charges so I can move my belongings. They offer no solution other than me paying and they dont attempt to remove the Pods although you can see it is dry.Business Response

I set up for the PODS to utilize in relocating my household goods. The *** was delivered on time in addition to which I received a confirmation email and a text about drop off. The window was 06/24/22 from 1pm to 4pm. As expected it was delivered. It was subsequently picked up as the email and text message confirmed. I cant confirm exactly when as I had relocated. It was then dropped off at the new home and as stated again I received an email and a text. Then came the email with the window for final pickup. 07/23/22 0730AM to 1030AM. Strangely enough no text came in. It was a Saturday so I wasnt ****** concerned or paying attention. I was out of the house that day. When I arrived back home the *** was still there. So I called the receptionist on 07/23/22 and she admitted it was a scheduling error on their end and assured me it would be picked up soon and I wouldnt be billed. She also stated she reached out to the local PODs center for a new pickup time within the week. The week came and went and nothing happened. So I called again. Keep in mind it was blocking my ADA **** that leads to my house. Again I was assured that it was a mistake on their end and they would get it ASAP and again I wouldnt be billed. Nothing. For over a month I called. Eventually I quit calling.

I am rejecting this response because: this money was deducted from my account by pods without my consent. This was while the pod was just sitting in my driveway abandoned for well over a month.
Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because:
The delivery fee was included in the initial payment. Picture attached.
I was not supposed to be charged beyond July 23, 2022.
My rental was from June 24, 2022 to July 23,2022.Again I never requested anything longer than that date and the pod was cleaned and ready to be taken away. It just sat there after I called multiple times to inquire why it was still there.
You all failed to show up to get the pod. When I called I was assured it was a scheduling error on their (pods) end and I would not be billed.
When you started billing me in Aug, again I called and was told it was an error on your end and someone would reach out within 3 days. That never happened.
I just want my money that was fraudulently taken in Aug. I should not have been billed anything after July 23, 2020 when you abandoned your pod in my driveway for over a month and blocked my access to my ADA *********************** surely hope you dont rest all veterans this poor.
Sincerely,
