      Pods has been charging me almost $300 to store my items in a POD and then they would not honor a $1200 quote that they have given me. They charged me over $1500 and then another delivery fee of $175. They ate corrupt, dishonest, and extortionist. I am on disability for mental illness and receive $1900 a month to live on. They still charged me $300 for the month's rent and over $1500 for delivery and $175 for redelivery. They took all the money I have to live on, even though they had already taken thousands of dollars from me since the Summer of 2024. They are shameless, ruthless, and uncaring. I do not recommend this corrupt company.

      I am in receipt of your correspondence concerning PODS Enterprises, LLC customer, ************. ********************** records indicate, as confirmed by Ms. **** in her complaint, that she was in the process of eviction, which required the immediate removal of the PODS container from the premises.

Additionally, PODS records reflect that a payment was made to a third-party collections agency in November 2024; however, this payment was returned due to non-sufficient funds. Ms. **** was informed of this matter accordingly.

      PODS was supposed to move a container from *********, ** to my home in ********. It was picked up on 1/30/25 in **** and was supposed to be in ** by 2/10 and delivered to my home on 2/14. I got a message on 2/12 that they couldn't deliver it until 2/18 but then I got another message saying they could deliver it again on 2/14 and then the 3rd message saying they couldn't deliver it again until 2/18. I called them and asked where is my POD and they couldn't tell me which is greatly concerning. Then I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told they would call me back but they never did. Then I asked if was going to be charged extra since the deliver would exceed the 30 day rental and was told no but I asked for an email confirming that and was told it was coming but it never did.

      My father passed away in September 2024 and following that time, I had notified PODS of his passing. I was told that a death certificate was sufficient enough to start the proceedings of releasing his contents (some of which are important legal documents). I then did not hear back for over a month even with follow-up emails. Fast forward to February of this year, when I got an immediate call saying my late father's are set to go to auction in a few months' time. I called and was immediately met with unprofessionalism and not given the option to remove the contents (I was told they could only move forward with settlement if the debt was paid). It took me writing another email saying legal action could be pursued and faxing a copy of the death certificate over to finally see some progress. Keeping this in mind, I feel completely emotionally drained and frustrated with the business as a whole. The lack of professionalism and response made my experience so negative that my family will no longer use their services as we can find alternatives around us that will be the opposite experience.

Additionally, our accounting department has extended an offer for Ms. ******* to empty her fathers container by February 28, 2025.
      As of February 17, 2025, we are awaiting Ms. ******** response regarding her preferred date to schedule container access. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this situation may have caused and appreciate your understanding. If any further information is needed, please dont hesitate to reach out.

      When the driver showed up to pick up my 8ft pod, he approached the driveway in reverse with his truck driving from the curb onto a gravel area to the side of my driveway then up onto the side of my driveway. As soon as he got his rear right tire onto my driveway at that angle I heard a loud noise. The concrete of my driveway cracked across two of the panels right where his rear tire climbed up my driveway from the gravel area. I immediately called their customer service line and took pictures of where he pulled his truck. He did not utilize the ***ZILLA to safely remove the *** from my driveway and instead ******* the job by driving his 1 ton truck off roads then up the side off driveway. This is gross negligence given he had the tools available to him to avoid the property damage but decided against proceeding the safe way. I submit pictures and a detailed explanation to the PODS Advocacy Disputes. They denied my claim saying I waived all of the property damage they may cause during the delivery process. Colorado state law does not permit waiving of liability in cases of reckless or gross negligence, which this clearly constitutes given the driven actively decided to not use the safe tools at his disposal to avoid property damage.

      Date: 02/18/2025

      I am in receipt of your correspondence concerning PODS customer, ****** ******. We have reviewed ********** concerns regarding his driveway damage claim. PODS conducted an investigation, including a review with the local market that provided the service. Based on our findings, the container was placed in accordance with ********** instructions, and our driver operated the equipment in the normal course of business while exercising due care. We did not find evidence that the driver negligently caused damage to Mr. ******* property during the placement or retrieval of the container.
      As outlined in *********** rental agreement, customers acknowledge that the area leading to the placement location must have adequate structural integrity to support the weight of the container and PODS equipment. Additionally, by signing the agreement, ********* assumed full responsibility for any damage to his premises resulting from the delivery services. If he would like to review the rental agreement, he may do so by accessing his PODS online account.
      We value our customers and strive to provide the highest level of service. We regret any inconvenience Mr. ****** may have experienced and appreciate the opportunity to address his concerns.PODS remains committed to reviewing feedback and taking appropriate measures when necessary. With this response, we consider the matter resolved.

      I am rejecting this response because this could have been avoided had the driver used the machinery present at the time that is intended for placing and removing the pods (PODZILLA). If he had used the appropriate tools at his disposal and not intentionally driven off-road with his 1 ton truck, my property would not have been damaged. This demonstrates negligence on the part of the driver simply to save himself time and effort, while not following standard procedure. 

      Sincerely,

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

      Business Response

      Date: 02/20/2025

      I am in receipt of your correspondence regarding PODS Enterprises,LLCs customer, ****** ******. ********************** has carefully reviewed Mr.******* latest response. While we appreciate his perspective, our position remains unchanged.

      As previously noted, a thorough review of the account and circumstances was conducted, and the resolution provided was determined to be appropriate. We have reassessed the situation in light of Mr. ******* additional comments and maintain our stance.

      Per the rental agreement, customers confirm that the placement location for the container has sufficient structural integrity to support both the containers weight and PODS equipment. The damage in this case appears to have resulted from a compromised driveway rather than any negligence by our driver. Additionally, the agreement clearly states that PODS is not responsible for any damage to the premises resulting from delivery services and that the customer assumes full risk in such situations.

      We understand Mr. ******* concerns regarding the use of equipment during delivery. However, the placement and removal of containers require the driver to assess site conditions and determine the safest approach. In this instance, the driver exercised their best judgment based on the conditions present at the time.

      PODS remains committed to fair and transparent service. Given our comprehensive review of this matter and the terms of the rental agreement, we respectfully request that this complaint be considered resolved and closed.

      PODS promised a smooth and straightforward move, but their gross mismanagement and negligence caused us significant stress and financial burden. We were moving due to a family member entering hospice and mold issues in our apartment.Initial delivery issues included our driver refusing to place the *** for 30 minutes and leaving 45 minutes early, leaving us with only 2 hours and 45 minutes to load everything. The drivers abrupt departure prevented items from being secured and resulted in damage and destruction of items.PODS allowed us to finish filling our *** at their warehouse, which involved us hiring more movers and driving an hour outside our city to pack a *** with items scattered and broken inside. They refused to let us pack the *** day of, resulting in us having to delay our travel plans and miss the window of time when our family member was still able to talk. Upon delivery of our *** the driver refused to place it in an accessible place and left it unstable on our slanted driveway. This was following multiple changes in delivery time within 24 hours of the scheduled drop-off.PODS **************** admitted fault for these issues at the time, provided a small discount, and promised a larger discount once our complaint was escalated. We later found out that no claim was ever created and PODS refuses to provide additional discounts as promised. Additionally PODS voided payments and invoices, withdrew money from a credit card we revoked their access to, and now states we still owe hundreds despite our compliant payments of all initial *********** total, this has been the most miserable moving experience of our lives, compounded by our need to care for dying family members. We were unable to connect with family members as needed in part due to PODS incompetence and mismanagement.

      We have completed a thorough review of all interactions related to this case, including a detailed examination of phone calls. Our investigation confirms that all actions taken by our associates were appropriate, and no errors were found on PODS' part.

      Regarding the complaint submitted by Tillary ********, our records show that the customer contacted us on 11/1/2024 regarding a concern with the driver. At that time, the supervisor applied a billing adjustment to reduce both the transit and redelivery fees. While no refund was promised, the customers total charges were appropriately adjusted to reflect the issue.

      Given these facts, we respectfully request that this complaint be closed as resolved. PODS remains committed to providing fair and transparent service.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      You have stated that PODS performed a thorough review of all interactions related to this case, but we have a number of concerns with what you have stated. I will note these concerns below.

      First, in your review only a single conversation with a PODS representative on 11/1/2024 is referred to. We talked to at least 3 PODS representatives on 11/1/2024 in addition to additional representatives over the course of the next days and weeks. There is no discussion of other PODS representatives who clarified that the case would be escalated for further discounts/compensation. It is unclear whether these calls were not reviewed or not considered.
      Second, the driver left 45 minutes early, not 30 minutes early. We made mention of this time repeatedly with all PODS representatives.
      Third, the issue was that the driver refused to park in the designated spaces for 30 minutes and then left 45 minutes early. These issues combined resulted in significant issues for us to finish packing the POD.

      We would appreciate clarification of these elements of the case and whether all conversations with representatives on 11/1/2024 were reviewed.

      Thank you for reaching out regarding Tillary ********* account.We appreciate the opportunity to review her concerns once again. PODS Enterprises, LLC has thoroughly reviewed Ms. ********* concerns and her account details. While we understand and respect her perspective, our position remains unchanged.
      To ensure accuracy and transparency, we reassessed the situation,including a comprehensive review of all calls associated with the account,particularly those on November 1, 2024, as requested by the customer.
      9:43 AM: The customer initially contacted ********************** regarding a payment issue. The call was disconnected, and no compensation was discussed.
      9:53 AM: The customer called back and spoke with our collections department about a declined credit card for the transit fee. The agent explained the pre-authorization process, clarifying that the charge would automatically drop off. At no point during this call was a refund promised.
      1:28 PM: The customer called again and was informed of a billing adjustment. The agent then transferred the call to a supervisor, who explained the charges and adjustments. The customer acknowledged and confirmed their understanding that an adjustment would be applied.
      After this thorough evaluation, we confirm that PODS agents followed standard protocol and provided clear explanations regarding the billing adjustment, which was issued as a goodwill gesture due to a driver delay. There was no negligence on the part of the driver or management.
      PODS remains committed to fair and transparent service. Given our extensive review and adherence to the terms of the rental agreement, we respectfully request that this complaint be considered resolved and closed.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      PODS has indicated that they performed a comprehensive review of all calls associated with our account, particularly those on November 1, 2024. However, in the review that they provided to BBB they have not included all calls on that day, indicating to us that they have not completed an adequate review of even one day of our contact with them. I have attached screenshots of our call log for clarification.

      Furthermore, PODS continues to assert that not only was there no promise of further billing adjustment, but also that there was no negligence on the part of the driver or management. This contradicts their acknowledgment that the driver made the decision to leave 45 minutes early in addition to other concerns previously identified. This is in violation of the service agreement regarding the time we would have access to our POD for loading purposes.

      It is incredibly frustrating to be provided with contradicting accounts of our experience from PODS when they have full access to all of the call logs to clarify what was said and done by their own representatives.

      Sincerely,
      Tillary and ******
