      Back in November and December I was getting estimates on what it was going to cost to send a storage pod to my house in **. Filling it up and sending it back to storage. Then an estimate to deliver from ** to **. Because of the price to do this I moved forward with Pods. They deliver the pod and we filled it up. They have it in storage now. Today I called to schedule get it delivered to *******. They told me the price and it more than doubled what I was originally quoted. If I was originally quoted this priced I would have never used them. Now they wont honor what they quoted me when they already have collected hundreds of dollars from me for other services. They originally quoted me a 1000 dollars and some changes now its over 2 grand.

      PODS moved three PODS from ** to **. There were charges that were not communicated by the company. Every time I reviewed my account to look for upcoming invoice charges there was nothing in place until they charged my credit card. I had a change in the final destination and PODS never communicated that the area I was moving to only delivered one day a week (Tuesday). I had to move into my new place prior and was told as long as I scheduled my delivery 4 days prior it would not be a problem. I also discussed what the charges would be to the final destination and I was told that I paid everything there would be no charges. I happed to look at my account after the final destination of the PODS delivery with a $600.52 bill. I called PODS immediately about the charges and put in a dispute awaiting a response the *** called me back but I was moving and still in the process of settling in and I received a notification on one of my credit cards that PODS charged $600.52 to a credit card I took off my PODS account and had not used since November 2024 and I did not authorize the payment. I requested for PODS to give me a mailing address to send the final payment and I am taking them to small claims court. The reason for unclear practices of payments, invoices as well as illegally charging a credit card that I did not authorize. I had to change my credit card because the bank considers is fraud.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I did speak with the customer *** and told her I was not able to speak with her.  But since communicated with them via email.  I would like to hear my conversations with PODS.  Because of said conversations it shows I did not know of any additional made up charges due to change of address.   I had to reach out to my bank to get my payment reimbursed and PODS is still attempting to charge my credit card for fees I do not agree or held by with a contract.

      I do not owe PODS anything.

      PODS Enterprises, LLC is in receipt of the complaint and appreciates the opportunity to respond.
      At the time the containers were initially booked in October 2024, the redelivery address had not yet been provided. Pricing at that time was based solely on the zip code 19446. The specific redelivery address was later provided on February 12, 2025, when the delivery was scheduled to an alternate location in *********************. This update resulted in a minor increase in charges due to the change in destination.
      As a gesture of goodwill, PODS extended a credit offer to help offset the additional charges. However, this offer has not yet been accepted, and the redelivery charges remain outstanding.
      PODS welcomes the opportunity to resolve this matter and encourages the customer to review the offer and reach out should there be any additional questions or concerns.

      I rented a storage pod from PODS Moving & Storage for the period of January 8, 2025, to February 8, 2025. I completed my use of the pod on February 5, 2025, and assumed that since my rental period ended on February 8, 2025, the pod would be retrieved accordingly. However, I was never notified that I needed to schedule pickup to avoid additional charges.After February 8, PODS automatically charged me $212.23 for an extra month without my authorization. Since I had already stopped using the pod, this charge was unexpected and unreasonable. When I became aware of the charge, I promptly contacted PODS and requested pickup. The pod was removed from my property on February 24, 2025.Upon reviewing my agreement, I discovered that the valid pickup fee should have been $127.33. However, since PODS already charged me $212.23 for an extra month, they have been compensated well beyond the cost of pickup. Despite this, they continue to harass me for additional payments.I called PODS in good faith to try and resolve the issue amicably, explaining that they had already overcharged me, but they refused to acknowledge my concerns and continue to demand payment.

      I am in receipt of your correspondence concerning PODS Enterprises, LLC customer, ****** *******. A review of ********************** records confirms that at the time of booking the order was created online, all scheduling was completed through the Stegalls online account. All required documents were accepted, acknowledging that the card on file would be automatically charged as disclosed until the PODS container was scheduled for return in an empty condition. The return of the empty container marks the completion of billing and fulfillment of the contract with PODS. The **************** agreed to all applicable fees and terms during the booking process, and the current past-due balance reflects valid charges that were accepted at that time. Should ****** ******* wish to further discuss their billing concerns they are welcome to contact PODS directly at *************, customer service is available Monday Saturday 8:00am to 10:00pm EST and Sundays 10:00am to 6:30pm EST.

      Complaint: 23007042

      I am rejecting this response because:

      PODS response does not resolve my issue, as it fails to address the core of my dispute:

      1. I never authorized or requested an additional month of service. PODS automatically charged my card without providing any notification that I was required to manually schedule a pickup to avoid additional fees. Their response does not address why they failed to notify me of this requirement before charging me an extra $212.23.

      2. The charge exceeds the actual pickup fee. According to PODS own pricing, the pickup fee should have been $127.33yet I was charged $212.23 for a full month I did not use. This means PODS has already received more than what was required for the service provided. I should not owe any further balance.

      3. I acted in good faith to resolve this, but PODS refused to acknowledge the overcharge. I contacted PODS directly to try and reach an amicable solution, pointing out that I had already been charged more than necessary. However, their representatives refused to offer any resolution beyond insisting that all charges were valid.

      I request that PODS drop all additional charges and stop collection efforts immediately.

      I request written confirmation that my account has been cleared and that no further charges or collection attempts will be made.


      Sincerely,

      ****** *******

      I am in receipt of your correspondence concerning PODS Enterprises, LLC customer, ****** *******. Per our previous response on March 3, 2025, we confirm that Mr. ******* acknowledged and agreed to the terms of the PODS rental agreement at the time of online booking. This agreement includes automatic charges that will continue until the return of the empty PODS container is scheduled. All relevant notifications regarding this arrangement were agreed upon during booking, with the understanding that the return of the empty container was not scheduled. Mr. ******* can verify the details of his order and scheduling by reviewing the confirmation pages available through his online PODS portal. In good faith, PODS Enterprises, LLC reached out and spoke with Mr. ******* on March 6, 2025, to reaffirm that all charges are valid, as the rented PODS container was not returned empty before the monthly anniversary due date. PODS Enterprises, LLCs position remains unchanged. Should ****** ******* wish to further discuss their billing concerns they are welcome to contact PODS directly at *************, customer service is available Monday Saturday 8:00am to 10:00pm EST and Sundays 10:00am to 6:30pm EST.

      Customer Answer

      PODS response continues to ignore the core issue of my dispute and refuses to acknowledge their deceptive and unfair billing practices.

      No Reasonable Notice Before Renewal: PODS relies on a boilerplate adhesion contract that buries critical return policies in fine print. At no point was I given a clear, proactive notice that I had to manually schedule a return before being charged for another month.

      Excessive and Unjustified Charges: I was charged $212.23 for an unauthorized extra month, when the proper pickup fee was only $127.33. This means PODS has already been overpaid, yet they continue harassing me with collection attempts.

      Predatory Practices Against Online Customers: Customers who book online are not given the same clear verbal explanations as those booking over the phone. This creates an unfair situation where PODS profits off of confusion and lack of transparency.

      Requested Resolution:
      I am formally rejecting PODS response and demanding the following:


      Immediate confirmation that my balance is cleared and all collection efforts are stopped.
      Permanent prevention of this disputed balance being sent to collections.


      Since PODS has refused to resolve this fairly, I have escalated this issue by filing formal complaints with:
      The ************************* Office for unfair business practices.
      The ************************ (***) for deceptive auto-renewal and billing tactics.
      The ************************************ (CFPB) for predatory collection attempts.


      If PODS does not resolve this matter immediately, I will also explore small claims court to recover damages for unfair billing and continued harassment.

      Sincerely,
      ****** *******

      This company, "PODS Moving & Storage, has always had me on their automatic payment each month. In December of 2024,I asked them to take me off of the automatic payment. Then I had to call back again in January to tell them to take me off the automatic payment, and I even made a payment arrangement with them for February's payment, in which their calls are always recorded, so if anyone listens to those recorded calls, you'll hear how I did make a payment arrangement, and I asked once again to be taken off of the automatic payment so that I can call in myself to make my payment. Today, 02/28/2025, PODS took out over $800 dollars out of my account without any notice, and without my permission, and even after I made a payment arrangement, that they verbally agreed to doing, twice, (again, all their calls are recorded)! So I called them and explained what happened, and no one would help me, and all they kept telling me was that there's nothing they can do. So I asked to speak to the manager or supervisor, and they told me that there was no manager or supervisor there, and told me to just call back in 24 to 48 hours. Since no one there is willing to help me, not even the billing department, and this is their fault, because they did verbally tell me I was taken off the automatic payment in December 2024 and again in January 2025, AND, that they accepted my payment arrangement, which I called again on 02/18/2025, and I told them I would call them MYSELF, to make my payment on today, 02/28/2025. And they had promised me that they took me off the automatic payment for the last 2 months, but they still haven't done so, and because of this, they took out over 800 dollars in my bank and wiped out my bank acct all because they took my money out first thing this morning, when they was NOT supposed to, and this has really messed me up, and I need them to refund me at least 400 dollars, as I promised to pay them ******. Please fix this asap!!!

      Two pods were scheduled to be delivered today. One came this morning but they did not deliver the second one (this order) because they said they did not have enough room. The driveway to the two car garage was completely empty. I called customer service - they agreed that the pod could get put in the driveway but it was too late to get it delivered today. Now I have to hire movers again to come the next day. They refused to refund or pay for movers.

      I have been a paying customer of ********************** since September 2020. I relocated the pod from ** to ******** and have been using the service for storage ever since, paying $285/ month. I recently requested a transport from ** to *************, where I was told my monthly rate would increase to $348/month. I spoke to multiple ***resentatives asking if they would be able to discount the rate or continue at my current rate. Multiple **** told me it would be possible, I then received an additional charge to my credit card for $297 a week after agreeing to use their service to transport. Multiple **** told me not to worry and the $297 is being disputed and would be credited back and affirmed that my monthly rate would stay similar to my original $285/month. Today I spoke with another *** stating the new charge of $297 would not be refunded and my rate is definitely going to continue at the price of $348/month. This has provided me with a terrible customer experience and felt very much like a bait and switch providing a lower storage cost expectation prior to me committing to a $2000+ transport fee. Now its is too close to my move date to switch services and pack so Im stuck using PODS for the time being. I would expect them to honor my original agreed upon rate as my expectations were set. Many of the **** assured me to just proceed and the pricing would be adjusted after transport to *************.

      I am filing a formal complaint against PODS regarding misleading information about their storage container sizes and unfair pricing practices. I initially rented a PODS container based on the size recommendation provided by their representative. However, after loading my belongings, I quickly realized that the container was too small despite being assured it would be sufficient for my needs.When I contacted PODS for assistance, I was informed that I would need to rent an additional container. To my shock, the cost of this second containerof the same size as my firstis significantly higher than what I originally paid. I feel completely misled, as I relied on their expertise in choosing the right size, only to be forced into additional, excessive charges due to their incorrect guidance.Despite reaching out to their customer service team, I have received no empathy or willingness to provide a reasonable resolution. Instead, I have been met with indifference and no acknowledgment of the inconvenience and additional financial burden caused by their misinformation. I expected a company of this reputation to stand by its service and assist customers fairly, but I am left feeling taken advantage of.I am requesting that PODS either:1.Honor the original price I paid for the first container and charge the same rate for the second container.2.Provide a partial refund or credit to account for the misinformation and additional cost.I hope the BBB can assist in holding PODS accountable for misleading business practices and lack of customer care. I appreciate your time in reviewing this complaint and look forward to your response.

      We have contracted with PODS to provide containers for our move from *******, ** to **********, **. When we contracted we did not know what house we would be purchasing in the ********** area, but in conversation between PODS and my husband verbiage went something like, "We are not sure exactly where we will be moving, but it will be in the ********** area. Do you serve this area?" And he was assured that yes, the ********** area will be delivered to.Presently our packed pods are at our previous address in ***********, snowed in. PODS has attempted pick up several times, and they must wait until the snow melts, which is anticipated to be next week. We recognize this has been an extra expense for ******** we are attempting to have our pods delivered to our new address which is in the zip code *****. This is in *********, **. And it is 20 miles from the center of **********. PODS is refusing delivery to this zip code. They are saying they "cannot" deliver to our new home and that they want us to unload our pods in *******, **, 80 miles from our home. This will cost us thousands of extra dollars. They have offered a credit of $800. For some reason they are refusing us delivery. They can deliver to this zip code. They are refusing. Their website claims they deliver to the ***. We have spoken to their manager, **** *. In ****. She said we may reach her by calling customer service at extension 201. She would not give us any other way to reach her. She tells us that talking to anyone at the facility in ******* is "impossible." She also tells us that talking to corporate in ******* is "impossible."We have paid them $3,133 so far and expect to pay them $5000+ on delivery. Not sure of the amount. Telling us delivery is not possible, that talking to the local facility is impossible, that talking to corporate is impossible is patronizing and not true. Anything can be done in today's world. They are refusing us a contracted service.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      PODS has not offered to us a solution to our problem. They have so far asked for more information which we have provided them within hours of their ask and then they said

      Thank you for the information. I have included the quote in the review. I will work on this and advise once we have an update.

      It is disingenuous of them to give us a deadline to respond to their offer when they have not actually offered anything. Just as it is disingenuous of them to state that customer service is a high priority for them when they do not actually offer any meaningful customer service, necessitating the need to pull in a third party like the BBB. 

      We are grateful for the outstanding reputation of the BBB and for the help you offer to customers like us. 

      Sincerely,

      ******* And **** Magi

      I have received your correspondence regarding PODS Enterprises, LLC customer, ************* rejecting the offer on 3/4. However, on 3/8/2025, a PODS representative and the customer reached an amicable agreement, which includes a Customer Satisfaction credit of $1,222.01 to be applied to the PODS account for monthly rentals and additional redelivery fees. Additionally, a refund of $425.00 will be issued to the customer due to the delay in receiving their containers. At this time, we have sent the required documents to process the credit. Once the document is received, the refund will be completed, satisfactorily resolving the issue.

      I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the unapproved changes made to my scheduled PODS pickup and delivery. After receiving confirmation of the original dates, I was informed that my pickup and delivery were both delayed by three days without my consent. I did not receive any prior notification, call, or text regarding this change.I must vacate my current location within two days to avoid incurring an additional months rent. The unexpected schedule change significantly impacts my plans and creates an unnecessary hardship. When I contacted customer support, I was informed that nothing could be done, and the delay was attributed to bad weather, which is inaccurate. Additionally, the supervisor I spoke with was unprofessional and refused to escalate my issue.I entered into an agreement with PODS based on the confirmed dates, and I expect that commitment to be honored. I am requesting an immediate resolution to this matter, including restoring the original pickup and delivery dates or providing a suitable alternative that meets my timeline.
