I am rejecting this response because:Hi there Ms. ******* the response from the pods company isn't accurate. They have not contacted me. I did schedule a appointment to access my pod that was supposed to stored with them at the location in ***** which I confirmed the address with the representative three times the day we were supposed to be able to access the pod it was not at the location everything was gone I contacted the pods customer service line yet again and explained the problem to the representative at which point I was informed that they didn't know the pods where moved from that location and that they could not locate my pod as a response to this information I told that representative to just set up a delivery to my home . The pod was delivered yesterday the driver came a inch from hitting not only my mother's vehicle but also my mother's boyfriend's work truck as well as rocking the pod before sitting it down I also noticed once the pod was placed there was two dents on the door that was not there the last time I physically seen it . I do have pictures and a video of the way the pod looked previous to us loading it to the last time we were physically able to access it to the way it looks currently a long with a video of the amount of space the driver had access to in the driveway.

I am in receipt of your correspondence concerning PODS Enterprises, LLC customer, ****** *******. pon a thorough review of Ms.Connells concerns, we have confirmed that the resolution provided is consistent with the findings from our investigation.
To provide additional context, when Ms. ******* scheduled the delivery of her container, she was informed of the applicable delivery fees,including the non-paved surface fee. This information was presented at the time of scheduling, and the request was accepted online on April 4, 2025.
Ms. ******* later reported damage to her belongings during transit. We carefully reviewed the matter and consulted with all parties involved in the move, including the local storage center managers and the carrier that transported the container. Based on their input and our internal review, there was no indication of mishandling of the container, and all handling procedures were followed appropriately. Additionally, there was no physical damage to the container or any evidence suggesting an external cause of loss while in our possession.
PODS findings conclude that the reported damage was most likely the result of normal shifting during transit and/or improper packing of the contentsboth of which are noted in the terms of the rental agreement. Per that agreement, customers assume responsibility for securing and protecting their contents and are encouraged to obtain adequate insurance coverage to guard against such risks.
We regret any inconvenience this situation may have caused *********** However, based on the available information and our policies, we consider this matter to be resolved. Should Ms. ******* wish to review the terms of her rental agreement, it is available at any time through her PODS online account.Initial Complaint

Why did our POD get delivered without the lock? 3/19/2025 final pick up 3/22/2025 Why was there a green tag where the lock should be. Green tags I'm told come on new empty PODs.POD was picked up with a lock at our previous home.First two calls operator didn't know what happened, told we would get a call no one ever called.Third call I was told it arrived at second warehouse without a lock, when I asked why their information was different then the first two he corrected himself and said the lock had been removed at the warehouse. Operator said we didn't pay, we did, we may have had an old card declined but it was paid in time and that shows on our billing. it certainly wasn't enough time to break the lock and rifle through our stuff.Why did no one call and tell us the lock had been removed, We are missing items, POD looked like it had been picked through and repacked. I want to know why this happened.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: They are claiming now that maybe the lock fell off at some point and a tag was placed on it. The tag was not signed, or dated, no location. I wasn't informed at the time. I've been told by another *** representative that if the lock comes off the customer has to be informed and the customer has to come to the warehouse to place a new lock. I was not asked to do this. I was told by a POD representative on the third phone conversation that the lock was cut off due to failure of payment. Every time I talk to them or get a response it is something else or new.

I am rejecting this response because: Last message received was that they think the container was broken into at a rest stop during transit. If that was the case, why did that party not inform PODS to inform me? I have responded to that asking what that means, what type of closure is that. There has been no discussion of what to do about the missing items from POD. Have not heard back as of yet. I believe they believe the matter is closed. They still have not said why we were not told of the matter when it happened, when they found it with out a lock? I haven't been told why each email lists a different reason for the lock missing.
Sincerely,
****** ********Business Response
Date: 04/21/2025
We've conducted a thorough investigation, but unfortunately, there's no definitive way for PODS to determine how Ms. ********** lock was removed from her container. Based on the information available, we believe it may have occurred during transport by a third-party motor carrier (e.g., the carrier stopped at a rest location, and someone must have done something without the drivers knowledge). Upon arrival at our facility in the destination market, the container was found without a lock, and a green zip tie tag was applied to secure it. If she hasnt done so already, we recommend that Ms. ******** file a police report for her missing items.
In regard to the missed payment, we do show the account had a couple of declined payments in July. However, the payment method was updated and corrected before the end of the month. At this time, we do not show that the account has any outstanding balance.Customer Answer

Complaint: 23140451
I am rejecting this response because: Why were we not notified at the time someone broke into the unit? If we had been notified at the time we could have gone to the warehouse to inspect items. When was the green tag placed, who was the third party carrier? Did the third party carrier not inform PODS? Why has almost every response from PODS been a different story?

Dear Ms. *******
I am in receipt of your correspondence concerning PODS customer, ****** ******.

In 2023 I contacted Pods to receive a quote on moving services from *********** to ***************. To receive this quote, I was required to provide my card information. I was told I would not be charged for anything as long as I did not confirm the amount (I never did). I later called and stated I would not like to move forward with services. I was then charged $677.04, despite never using Pods services. I called and requested a refund. Which I received.Quite a few months later I started getting letters and calls from a debt collector, stating I owe Pods money. I contacted Pods SEVERAL times about this, each of which I explained the situation and was told I was fine and nothing was needed from me. The most recent time I called, I finally got transferred to the debt collector section of pods. This is when ******* with Pods informed me that the reason I was sent to collections is because they show I was refunded twice. However, Ive only received ONE refund, and this was the first I heard about this, a YEAR later.I spoke with my banking agent and they also confirmed they only see once refund. Ive attached my bank statement showing this refund. This has been beyond frustrating with zero communication from pods before sending my to collections, for services I never even used. Id like to get this cleared up from Pods and the reported debt collector that I do not owe Pods any money.

Transaction date: Mar. 14, 2025 Amount: $1,203.95 PODS was instructed to drop off a small container on the street in front of my home. PODS employee [driver] negligently drove off the road and ran over my neighbors metal culvert bridge. The bridge/walkway was severely damaged by the PODS truck, making it unsafe/unusable. I had to compensate my neighbor for the cost of the bridge and the cost of having it hauled away.

Subject: Request for Reimbursement of Expenses Due to Container Delay
Dear PODS Advocacy Disputes and Customer Service,
I am writing to formally request reimbursement for the expenses for the contracted movers that were present in my storage facility waiting for the Pods Container to be delivered December 5,2024 coincided with my arrival at *** from ************* . But the Pods Container was NOT delivered and was rescheduled for December ******. The contracted movers were not able to perform and fulfill the job of loading the container because the container was NOT delivered.I contracted [referral from a friend through FaceTime phone call] these four movers for $1,485 for four hours [just my approximate time in loading a container] He told me that theyll finished the job within 4 hours and that theres no rescheduling of the time and day after they are contracted. I incurred this expenses as a direct result of the delay in the delivery of my container, I was so embarrassed that they were there to perform a task but since Pods did not deliver my container, so they were not able to do the job that they were contracted to do. It was during this time that I was on a phone call with ***** from the Pods storage facility in ******* requesting him to redeliver my container on the same day that the movers are presently waiting in my storage facility in *****************. I even told ***** that my storage facility in ***************** location is only six miles away from Pods Storage facility in ****************** but he did not redeliver my container despite of explaining to him the situation. To my embarrassment I just paid them $1,500.00 Cash.With so much hesitation on my part I just gave them $1,500 Dollars in cash.
I incurred this expenses as a direct result of the delay delivery of my container which remains held in *******, **. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve this matter, the situation remains unresolved, and I have been significantly inconvenienced both personally and financially.
Due to the unexpected delay, I am compelled to arrange travel to ********** to address the issue in person. If I go to ***** Pods facility in ******* and transfer some of the contents of my container to another container, will there be any additional charge? Consequently, I will incur the following expenses:
Jet Blue Airfare for round-trip travel from *** ******** to *** and ** to *************;
Car rental **** or Budget or Enterprise for local transportation driving from LAX and to ***** Pods facility in *******************
Hotel accommodations during my stay ******** @ ************************************ $139 per night *********** I stayed when I was loading my Pods Container]
Given the circumstances, I believe it is reasonable to request that PODS cover these costs. I trusted PODS to manage the transportation of my belongings efficiently, and the failure to do so has resulted in both financial strain and unnecessary stress.

Complaint: ***70067
I am rejecting this response because:1:48 PM April 2, 2025 ****** ******* Dear ****** ******, Re: Complaint # *** 700 67 This is my request letter sent to Pods moving & storage. Based from your email Pods was claiming that they informed me through email on those dates but they are lying about that. That is the main reason why I posted my complaint to their ******** account page. I only learned that my container was heavy when Im the one who gave them a call and I was able to speak with Pods associate ****** *****. She told me that she will email ***** the facility manager about my container. Im the one who always making the phone call to Pods to check on the status of my container. All those dates that they mentioned are all the dates that I documented on my ******** account page. That is a complete lie on their part! Pods DID NOT INFORM ME!!! Please read it in my facbook page I also attached it on the comments section of Pods Moving & Storage ******** page. This request letter is for Pods to cover my travel/car rental /hotel expenses for me to travel back to ********** from ******** since this is a direct result of their incompetence and failure to deliver my container in a timely manner and based on the contracted agreement that we made since November *******. Thanks, ****** ******* ************ Subject: Request for Reimbursement of Expenses Due to Container Delay Dear PODS Advocacy Disputes and ***************** I am writing to formally request reimbursement for the expenses for the contracted movers that were present in my storage facility waiting for the Pods Container to be delivered December ****** coincided with my arrival at *** from ************* . But the Pods Container was NOT delivered and was rescheduled for December ******. The contracted movers were not able to perform and fulfill the job of loading the container because the container was NOT delivered.I contracted [referral from a friend through FaceTime phone call] these four movers for $1,485 for four hours [just my approximate time in loading a container] He told me that theyll finished the job within 4 hours and that theres no rescheduling of the time and day after they are contracted. I incurred this expenses as a direct result of the delay in the delivery of my container, I was so embarrassed that they were there to perform a task but since Pods did not deliver my container, so they were not able to do the job that they were contracted to do. It was during this time that I was on a phone call with ***** from the Pods storage facility in ******* requesting him to redeliver my container on the same day that the movers are presently waiting in my storage facility in *****************. I even told ***** that my storage facility in ***************** location is only six miles away from Pods Storage facility in ****************** but he did not redeliver my container despite of explaining to him the situation. To my embarrassment I just paid the Movers $1,500.00 Cash.With so much hesitation on my part I just gave them $1,500 Dollars in cash. I incurred this expenses as a direct result of the delay delivery of my container which remains held in *******, **. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve this matter, the situation remains unresolved, and I have been significantly inconvenienced both personally and financially. Due to the unexpected delay, I am compelled to arrange travel to ********** to address the issue in person. If I go to ***** Pods facility in ******* and transfer some of the contents of my container to another container, will there be any additional charge? Consequently, I will incur the following expenses: Jet Blue Airfare for round-trip travel from *** ******** to *** and ** to ******** Car rental **** or Budget or Enterprise for local transportation driving from *** and to ***** Pods facility in ******************. Hotel accommodations during my stay ******** @ ************************************ $139 per night *********** I stayed when I was loading my Pods Container] Given the circumstances, I believe it is reasonable to request that PODS cover these costs. I trusted PODS to manage the transportation of my belongings efficiently, and the failure to do so has resulted in both financial strain and unnecessary stress. I kindly ask that you process this reimbursement promptly. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, ****** B. ******* ************

PODS Enterprises, LLC is in receipt of Mr. ******** rebuttal and appreciates the opportunity to respond. PODS maintains that the resolution provided to Mr. ******* on March 27, 2025 aligns with the findings of its internal review and the communications documented throughout the course of his move.
Mr. ******* was contacted on multiple occasions regarding his container's weight and the limitations it posed for transport across state lines. Outreach via voicemail and email occurred on December 10, 2024, December 21, 2024, January 28, 2025, January 29, 2025, March 24, 2025, and March *******. During these communications, Mr. ******* was informed that the container exceeded weight limitations and was presented with alternative optionsspecifically, the removal of items or the transfer of contents into an additional container. While Mr. ******* states that he was not made aware of this information until he initiated contact, PODS records confirm that outreach occurred through multiple channels.
Regarding Mr. ******** request for reimbursement of third-party mover fees, hotel, airfare, and rental car expenses, PODS must respectfully decline. These costs were incurred outside the scope of PODS' services and after the customer had been advised of the containers weight issue.Unfortunately, PODS is unable to take responsibility for expenses related to external arrangements or third-party vendors.
PODS regrets that Mr. ******** experience did not meet his expectations. However, the company believes that appropriate communication and resolution options were extended and, as such, considers the matter resolved.Initial Complaint

I ordered a cross state delivery move. I was given a pick up date of March 3rd with a delivery date to final destination of March 14, 2025. I was charged $2606.48 to move furniture from ************** **, to *******. The driver arrived at my pick up location on the scheduled date and time of March 3, 2025 at 7:30am. My furniture was loaded with no issued and was told my schedule arrival of my furniture will be March 14, 2025. On today March 14th, i called to see what time the truck was going to delivery my furniture only to find out that my belongins never left ******* and the reason was because I didnt sign or agree to a "rental agreement". I was not renting their storage unit, they were to simply move my belongings and remove their storage unit the next day. I Paid over $1000 in airline fair to meet the delivery, so not only am I out of airline fair, losing money because I closed my business down on this day to receive my belongings and completely inconvenienced by this company. If a rental agreement had to be signed, why was my belonging picked up and credit card charged the full amount for their delivery service. I request my belongings to be delivered asap and refunded 50% of my charges.Business Response
