I paid for PODs to move a container across the country for a move from ********** to *******. In the process, they have purposefully increased the time it takes to deliver my things to try to extract more money out of me by requiring me to pay for an additional month of storage. Only after being caught in a lie were they willing to help deliver my things sooner. I had an airtag with my things and saw that it had been delivered to my destination city. When I called them to try to get them to deliver my pod to my address, they claimed it was still in transit. I told them that it wasn't because I knew where it was based on the airtag location tracking. It has been over two weeks since they picked up our pod, and they are withholding all of our possessions to try to steal money from us, while claiming that it takes a lot of time to ship things. They are trying to both lie and steal from customers who previously didn't have enough information to call them on it. I now have objective evidence that they have lied to us. They move slower because it benefits their revenue/profits at the expense of their customers not having access to their possessions during an already stressful process of moving. It is a predatory business practice that tries to extract as much money from their customers, while delivering a worse service. They should have to pay a penalty to people whose moves they have intentionally delayed and worsened. With just a small amount of evidence gathering, I'm certain that a class action lawsuit could expose the business practices done by this company.Business Response

On May 24, 2025, PODS was scheduled to drop off the container of property I paid in full to pick up, transport, store, and deliver to the total of $4667.74. As per the attached letter, that container never arrived, although PODS adamantly assured me it would, even up to over and hour past the delivery time window. Due to their failure of service, I incurred personal expenses totalling $2298.77 in order to live for the next week in an empty apartment. I have requested that PODS deduct May and **** charges of $628.91 and compensate half of my personal expenses due to their failure to deliver the container, the combined amount of $1149.00. I am noting that The BBB has received 1759 complaints about PODS in the past 3 years, and I regret not checking your site before using PODS. Thank you for adding my complaint to the others. If necessary, I can add the itemized PODS billing statement to this request for relief.Business Response

I am in receipt of your correspondence concerning PODS customer, Mr. *** ******. We appreciate the opportunity to address his concerns. Following a full review of Mr. ******* account, we have previously provided responses and outreach to Mr. ****** on May 27, 2025, May 28, 2025, May 30, 2025, and again on June 4, 2025. Our records indicate that adjustments were made on the account, and an offer was extended in acknowledgment of Mr. ******* feedback. We are currently awaiting his response to that communication.
Mr. ******* original service dates were rescheduled due to unforeseen availability issues in his region. This was communicated to him before the original delivery date. Subsequent delivery appointments were confirmed per Mr. ******* requests, and service was completed as scheduled.
We understand that schedule adjustments can be frustrating and regret any inconvenience caused. PODS places high importance on customer satisfaction and evaluates every case thoroughly. When concerns are brought to our attention, we review the details and take appropriate action based on the circumstances.
At this time, PODS has made efforts to address Mr. ******* concerns and is awaiting his response. We remain available to continue the discussion directly with him should he wish to do so. With the submission of this response, we consider this matter closed unless additional information is provided.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: PODS message to the BBB stated: Our records indicate that adjustments were made
on the account, and an offer was extended in acknowledgment of Mr. ******************** There were no adjustments to the account. This is patently false.
PODS offered a gesture of goodwill that consisted of a $338.10 or $36.21
refundarbitrary numbers. PODS made no explanation for how they arrived at those
gestures. My own estimation of personal financial loss due to PODS failure to provide
promised service was many times PODS arbitrary gestures; therefore, I did not
accept either offerthe $36.21, clearly meant as an insult.
May 24, 2025, between 12:45 PM and 3:45 PM, was the original *** delivery date and
time window. At 8:21 PM, PODS phoned to inform me the *** was still coming. At 8:32
PM, PODS called again to say the *** could not be delivered. In total, I waited
nearly eight hours before finding out the *** was not being delivered.
This PODS statement, Mr. ******* original service dates were rescheduled due to
unforeseen availability issues in his region, is FALSE. PODS claimednearly five hours
after the delivery window had closedthat their driver had an emergency and could
not deliver the ***, for which a space had been secured. The space for the *** was
ready and waiting for the entire day and evening. PODS provided no explanation for the
emergency that kept them from delivering the ***. No lack of availability issue
existed on my end.
PODS statement that they rescheduled the delivery prior to May 24, 2025, is also
FALSE. This was communicated to him before the original delivery date is not true.
PODS assured us throughout the original scheduled delivery day that our *** was on
the way. Only nearly five hours past the delivery window closing did they finally say it
could not be delivered.
My mother and I had just moved from the extended stay *******************, based on
PODS assurance that the *** would be delivered. That hotel room was no longer
available to me. This is the reason I had to purchase bedding and other necessitiesnot
luxuries as *** statedin order to remain in our newly rented, empty apartment. See
attached **** receipt.
To continue to negotiate with PODS concerning this matter is completely contingent
upon their willingness to be honest and not misrepresent their failure to provide
service as promised which resulted in major expenses as delineated, documents
attached.

RE: My response to PODS disingenuous message response of 6/11/2025
I replied to PODS via the Better Business Bureau on 6/11/2025, immediately upon receiving PODS message response, one that deliberately obfuscated facts which I carefully delineated. PODS does not appear to accept responsibility for their failure to provide service, and their message is an attempt to shift blame to the client rather than be accountable.
PODS had to see the following response as it was shared via the BBB. If PODS denies seeing this message via the BBB, they would not have responded to the BBB. The message of 6/11/2025 is as follows:
PODS message to the BBB stated: Our records indicate that adjustments were made on the account, and an offer was extended in acknowledgment of Mr. ******* feedback. There were no adjustments to the account. This is patently false.

May 7 a container was delivered to my residence at a cost of $285.44. After noticing that at its current location rainwater might get into the container, I called Pods and agreed to have the container picked up and stored in their warehouse. The next day I noticed a charge on my credit card for $59.18. Feeling that it wasnt worth it to have a picked up, I immediately called well before anyone was sent to pick up the container to cancel transporting it to the warehouse. They agreed to the cancellation. The container would remain at my residence. Two days later I noticed another charge to my credit card for $18.76. Not only did I not receive a credit for the $59.18 I was charged an additional $18.76. Two calls have cost me $76.84. Had PODs incurred any costs associated with my request I would understandably pay it. Had I been told that I would be charged either way, I would not have cancelled. The only explanation offered is, thats the way our system handles changes to your order. To this point the only service PODs has performed is dropping off the container. This just doesnt seem like a desirable way to conduct business.Business Response

We have been a business customer of ********************** since 2018. Back on May 13, 2025, we reached out to have our two containers relocated to another location. We experienced poor customer service. As a result, we reached out to the company via email. We were subsequently contacted by ***** *******. In speaking with Ms. ******* on May 14, 2025, she assisted us in getting our containers scheduled for relocation for the following week on May 20, 2025. She advised us (on a recorded line) that we would NOT be charged for the special timeframe due to our long history with the company. However, on May 20, 2025, a charged was presented to our bank for not only the relocation, but the "special timeframe." We immediately reached out to Ms. ******* to advise her of the charge and then sent her a copy of the invoice we received on May 21, 2025. We have been unsuccessful in getting an response from Ms. ******** or anyone else, in the business department regarding the error. To charge us after stating we would not be is not only dishonest, but it is fraud. We want our $428.00 refunded immediately! Attached are the emails from May 13, 2025 through May 27, 2025 and a copy of the erroneous invoice showing the fraudulent charges.Business Response

PODS delivered our moving container in July *********************************************** ************ (32207).In May 2025, we scheduled delivery to our new address (*****) for May 24. We called three times to confirm that if the driveway was narrow, they could place it in the street, just as they did before. One rep even told us they could do a same-day delivery and pickup with a four-hour window, which we agreed to.On delivery day, they canceled the delivery after looking at ****** Maps, without even attempting the delivery. They claimed our zip code had a street flag and said they only deliver to private property.We offered to get a permit within the hour, but they refused. We were told we could pick up the container from the warehouse if we signed an after-hours waiver, but no one would send the waiver. It took until Tuesday to even get confirmation that warehouse pickup might be possible.Then they said Jacksonville does not allow same-day delivery and pickup, directly contradicting what a previous representative told us.We had to return our U-Haul. We lost our movers. We had to pay for lodging and meals, all due to the misinformation and delays caused by ************************* make it worse, we were charged an extra month of storage on May 26, even though they failed to deliver on May 25 as scheduled.Weve spent over 30 hours on the phone with customer service.

Complaint: 23385295
I am rejecting this response because:While I appreciate the refunded month of unused service and the partial reimbursement options presented, I must respectfully reject the proposed resolution as it does not adequately address the full scope of the costs I incurred due to PODS failure to uphold their service commitments.
My total out-of-pocket expenses amounted to $1,935.71, as outlined below:
Additional month PODS charge (refunded) - $390.47
Gas and food expenses - $500.00
Original U-Haul reservation - $80.82
Replacement U-Haul & moving crew - $400.00
One day unpaid time off (combined) - $506.15
Damaged items (being handled separately) - $58.27
Total $1,935.71
The refunded PODS charge and damaged items are no longer part of this claim, leaving $1,486.97 in unresolved costs.
PODS has offered to reimburse either the moving-related expenses of the movers and u-Haul reservation ($480.82) OR a per diem rate of $400.00, but not both. This approach is unacceptable, as these are separate and necessary expenses I was forced to incur because of PODS service failure:
The movers and U-Haul were needed because PODS did not deliver as promised.
The per diem covers food, gas, and basic needs when we were left without access to our belongings, including kitchen supplies, bed, and other essentials.
Even if PODS covers both categoriesU-Haul/movers and per diemI will still be absorbing $606.15 in lost wages, which I am willing to take on personally in the spirit of compromise.
To be clear, I am requesting reimbursement for:
U-Haul and Moving Crew: $480.82
Gas and Food (Per Diem): $400.00
Total Requested Moving Forward: $880.82
I have been in direct contact with ******* ******* at PODS, who has expressed interest in resolving this outside of the BBB process. However, given the partial offer and lack of accountability thus far, I believe continuing with the BBB is the most appropriate way to ensure a fair and transparent resolution.
Thank you for your time and support in advocating for consumers like myself.

First their website advertises contactless service, but that was not my experience. On delivery day, the driver called to say he was 30 minutes away and that someone had to sign for the drop-off. I was at work and had to scramble to find a neighbor to sign.Second, I initially ordered the smaller container but called 17 days before delivery to upgrade to the larger one. They confirmed the change over the phone. Still, the smaller unit was delivered. When I called to correct the error, PODS confirmed that the larger size was correctly entered in their systembut they couldnt swap it out. This left me scrambling days before my move to figure out how to store my belongings.Third I contacted my town ahead of time and was told I needed a permit to have the *** on the streetwhich I completely understood. However, the town required a Certificate of Insurance (COI) from PODS LLC. I sent multiple emails and had several phone calls trying to get this document. I have ten emails worth of back-and-forth, and the *** was still never correctly provided. Even when the Village contacted PODS directly, they still failed to comply. Fortunately, I wasn't issued a ticket, but PODS was not in compliance with the Village's requirements by placing a container without providing the required ****Their customer service is abysmalunresponsive, unhelpful, and disorganized.

Pods delivered to our home and we were told they could not come get it for 3 weeks. This was inconvenient to us as the pod was emptied same day. Then they preceded to charge us an additional $306.00.

In response to Ms. ********* , PODS Enterprises, LLC has carefully reviewed the details provided.
Under the standard terms of the PODS Rental Agreement, customers who do not elect the Contents Protection Option (CPO) are responsible for securing their own insurance coverage (e.g., through homeowners or third-party insurance) for any loss or damage to the contents stored within the container. Our records indicate that you did not select CPO at the time of rental, and therefore, PODS bears no legal responsibility for the loss.
Our investigation into the reported damage to your personal property has concluded that the cause of the damage could not be determined or linked to PODS. The container was inspected and found to be in good condition with no visible signs of damage. Furthermore, our storage locations receive monthly pest control treatments and have had no reported pest issues over the past four years. As such, there is no evidence to suggest PODS was the cause of the damage.
As stated in the rental agreement you accepted, you assume all risks of loss or damage to the contents stored in the container, regardless of the cause. The agreement also outlines your responsibility to obtain adequate insurance coverage for your belongings. For your convenience, the full rental agreement is available through your PODS online account.
Based on this information, we believe that all aspects of Ms. *********** experiences were handled appropriately and in alignment with the terms of service. We respectfully request that this complaint be considered resolved and the case closed.Initial Complaint

This interaction took so long that I requested a call back to finish booking because I was running late for a work meeting. The agent agreed to call me back at 4:00 PM CST to complete the booking. The agent did not call me back at the agreed upon time and when I tried to call to finish my booking, I was told by a subsequent agent that I'd need to start the entire process over, which I did not have time to do that day. I called the following day and spoke with a 3rd ******** service agent, this one confirmed that my previous order existed by the price I was quoted expired because it had been over 24 hours. I explained the agent not calling me back to book and my issues with trying to access my order but was told nothing could be done and my new rate would be $700 higher. I agreed, confirmed my dates and addresses and booked.Every step of the way, there have been errors and unfulfilled promises. My POD delivery was scheduled for 5/10 and pickup scheduled for 5/12. When my POD was delivered on 5/10, I checked the portal and saw no pickup scheduled. I was then told that 5/12 would be unavailable and it took an escalation to a supervisor to honor the dates I originally booked.I scheduled my delivery to my new address in ******** for 5/30 and was told that everything was complete and I could call up until 5/24 to modify if needed. On 5/23, I called to confirm my delivery and was told that it had never been scheduled and could not be scheduled until 6/3. I already booked flights and movers and have spent hundreds of dollars to have my POD unloaded on 6/1 as originally planned. I've been on hold for half an hour and was told that no supervisor is available and my delivery cannot be completed as planned. I'd like a refund of my entire total with PODs and moving fees.Business Response

Used Pods for my household items from old address ****************************************************************************************************. I paid all invoices with card on file. Pods made 2 mistakes charging me for extra thing over 3 month period Had to call them to correct mistake. PODS container was picked up from my new house on 3/10/2025. Everything was paid up. Then on 3/10/2025 they charge me $50.00 for no reason again . I called and complained and said I wanted a refund for the charge. They agreed to send me a check for $50 since I didnt want my credit card charged again. I never received the check so I I put in a dispute with my credit card to get charge off. Now they are constantly calling me saying I owe them the money. This is their mistake not mine. Everything is paid up. I have been on the phone numerous times to fix their error and they say they will and nothing is done about it.Business Response
