In Q3 2023, I entered an agreement with PODS to store my household items. I had paid several times until this spring 2024. In the spring, I had lost access to my iphone. I have tried calling them several times in order to pay the remaining balance and return the pod. The Company, "PODS" engaged in a fraudulent scheme to not allow me to regain access to my account or pay my bill in order to continue to incur storage charges. I hereby demand PODS to release lien hold, and allow access to my container with zero payment and a full refund of all storage charges placed due to damages of not being able to access my container. Their fraudulent scheme also includes intentionally training sales representatives in **** to not be able to support the customer. ********************** phone support has been no help. I even was told by phone to email ************************************* and the email doesn't work.Business Response

Business specifically told me that my address listed above was within their service area when i got my initial quote. This means that they would deliver the *** to my house so I could unload it.

Date of transactions: 8/21-8/26. Total paid for services: $3,396.30.We are requesting: full refund for PODS delivery costs: $611.61 and other costs as a result of delay: $550 mover fees, $236 flight rescheduling, $500 daily food and living costs ($100 X 5 days)) = $1,276 + $611.61 = $1,887. PODS committed on a delivery date of 8/21 but failed to deliver that day or let us know.The nature of the dispute is that PODS did not tell me my container wasnt being delivered that day until almost 3 hours after the scheduled City Service delivery time. They finally told me our belongings couldn't be located and were likely delivered to the wrong PODS location. As a result, we had to sleep on the floor for 6 nights causing significant back pain, cancel a return flight to finish moving out of our last address, and increased cost of food and materials for not having things in the container. The business has responded but is not receptive to the idea that they should refund us for things like our pain and suffering, canceled flights, and incurred food costs. Therefore we have not been able to reach a solution that is satisfactory to me and my Fiancee. In summary, we are requesting $1,887 for our costs and failed services.Business Response

On Aug. 22, 2024 and Aug. 31, 2024, PODS was paid $272.51 and $79, respectively. The funds were payment for the delivery of a *** to my residence (and the ability to store items in it for 1 month) and the delivery of the *** to my new residence. Problems ensued: 1. There was no way to schedule the time I needed for the pickup and delivery of the *** to my new address, and I was forced to accommodate the pick-up time PODS dictated, which interfered with packing time. When I attempted to get his resolved, I was put on hold for an hour. An employee also stated a manager would call me back, but no call ever came. An also employee hung up on me. While I was on hold with one employee, I saw that PODS had, without my permission or approval, changed my email address in the system to an inaccurate one (I received an email confirmation of the change). I told them to immediately correct the unauthorized and unrequested change. When the *** arrived at my new residence, it couldn't be opened. It had been problematic to open while empty, but now was impossible to open. I went a week without the furniture and other items in the *** b/c I couldn't open it. I emailed PODS 6 times about the issue - requesting they send someone out to open the defective unit and to make sure I wasn't charged for the time I couldn't access my belongings. The content of my emails was ignored. I opened a dispute with **************** about the situation. PODS didn't respond to ****************'s inquiries about the matter and AmEx returned the monies paid to my card. Now PODS is stating that my account is past due. They will not address the issue by email and are stating that I have to call them Since I have no way of recording any calls to them - and this has been contentious enough - and I don't have another hour to be on hold, I am not willing to address this matter by phone.I trust the Better Business Bureau can be of assistance.Business Response

We have reviewed the complaint made by Ms. Shaw and would like to clarify the timeline of events. Our records show that the container was initially delivered on 8/19, and on 8/20, Ms. Shaw went online to schedule the container to be moved to her new address on 8/30.
On 8/29, she contacted customer service regarding the ETA for the move, and we forwarded the request to the local office to see if they could accommodate it. This was a request, not a guarantee, as ETAs are estimated based on our drivers route.
Ms. Shaw reported an issue with the container door not opening on 9/4, after the container had been moved. Prior to 9/5, we have no record of any report of damage. However, as Ms. Shaw indicates she reached out via email earlier in her move, we kindly ask that she forward that information to her Advocate for review.
At this time, we have no record of any communication before 9/5 regarding the damage.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: The company is being dishonest. Please see attachment and detailed information below:RE: On 8/29, she contacted customer service regarding the ETA for the move, and we forwarded the request to the local office to see if they could accommodate it. This was a request, not a guarantee, as ETAs are estimated based on our drivers route.
I received multiple messages from PODS asking that I confirm the move time on 8/30. Since there was no estimated time provided in any of those communications, there was nothing for me to confirm. I finally reached out to the company on 8/29 to try to get information on the pick-up time so that I could confirm, as they requested, and again they had no information to provide. Given that I had scheduled the pick up 10 days prior, I fully expected to be provided complete information so that I could confirm the pick-up time and pack and handle other responsibilities regarding the move.
RE: However, as Ms. Shaw indicates she reached out via email earlier in her move, we kindly ask that she forward that information to her Advocate for review.
RE: At this time, we have no record of any communication before 9/5 regarding the damage.To correct the timeline of events provided by PODS:
There was an ISSUE with the PODS container upon delivery While the container was empty, the slide lock mechanism was almost impossible to move and the door did not open easily. Whenever I went into the empty POD I had to ask for assistance from adult men who also had difficulty sliding the latch and opening the door. These men were my son and subsequently some movers who helped me pack the POD. It was incredibly inconvenient, but usable, so I didn't report the issue at that time.
After the POD was moved to the new location it was IMPOSSIBLE to slide the latch open with or without the assistance of adult men. Because it was IMPOSSIBLE to slide the latch to access my belongings, I reached out to PODS for assistance. The first email was sent via their website form on 9/3/2024 because they DO NOT PROVIDE a direct email address on their website. A second email was sent via the website form on 9/3/2024 at 8:11 pm ET. Another email was sent via the website form 9/4/2024 at 3:55 pm ET.
On Wednesday, 9/4/2024 at 4:04 pm ET, I received an email to my personal email address from "Residential Support <[email protected]>" stating the following:
"Hello Karen
Thank you for reaching out to PODS.
I hope you're well. Thank you for following up, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Could you please provide the container number where the door won’t open? If possible, try opening the door at least one inch. If you can, use a long object to check if something might be blocking it. If the door still doesn’t open, we’ll arrange a visit to assist with accessing the container"
I emailed back on 9/5/2024 at 9:40 am ET to provide the container number and to reiterate that the bolt wasn't sliding at all. I received NO RESPONSE to that email despite following up 9/6/2024 at 8:08 am ET and 9/6/2024 at 5:45 pm ET, which was my 6th email regarding this issue. I then purchased tools and had someone assist outside of PODS with opening the container.
Since I received an email from "Residential Support <[email protected]>" to my personal email address on 9/4/2024, it is dishonest for PODS to state that they received no communication from me prior to 9/5/2024 when I obviously had reached out prior to that AND received a message from the company on 9/4/2024.

July 26, 2024. I purchased a retirement home in *********. Initially I ordered two PODS -- one for the ** house and one for a new Condo in ********** Maryland --. but we quickly filled the two PODS and needed a third one which was to be sent to **. So, two pods to **, one to MD. On July 26 I had two PODS moved to ** and the 3rd *** moved to storage in *********************. I was clear in the phone call with PODS that the *** number *****BX would stay in storage until the ************** was completed. The two Tennessee PODS were delivered, emptied, and returned within two weeks. I thought the third *** was in ********. I closed on the Condo and ordered the *** to be delivered to the ********** Maryland Condo- to my horror it was in **. I called Pods and they opened an investigation - the email is attached, stating that I had said one *** was to go to MD -- but despite that they decided that I was in error and they not only charged me $2400 to move the *** to ** but they wanted to charge me another $2400 to move it back to ********. I said NO. They are still unwilling to resolve the issue, claiming they did nothing wrong. That is $4,800 (to ** and back, due to their error) when I should only have been charged to move **************************** storage somewhere in ** waiting for them to resolve this issue and move it back to ******** (without an excessive fee) where it should have never left in the first place.Business Response

I have had this POD container 14 foot since 2022. In the past the customer service was good and now the service is horrible and you. can only speak to some (off-shore) no US customer service. There are inaccurate charges and poor customer service! The customer service *** and ********************** indicated they have listen to the calls and no miscommunication on their end.This is inaccurate. We spoke on initially on 8/20/24 and you informed me of the auction date and my current balance before the 20th of the next billing cycle for the monthly POD container fee of $269.00 on the 20th of every month. (You stated the total that was due with the auction fee was $1405.00 on 8/20). I called back on 8/21/24 and spoke to a *** and (*.*******) informed me the full payment needs to be paid by 11am on September 25th which will also include the August monthly container fee which brought the total to $1,905.00.8/23/2024 to ***ort my payment of $500.00 and will be making another payment of $405.00 September 4, 2024. Never once per my 1st call or any follow-up calls that I was told the total balance was more than the $1,905.00.I reviewed the invoice you sent me today after I had to request it (September 9th) and now it's showing an auction fee of $101.50 as of August 30, 2024?This is poor customer service that I have received is disappointing. I'm requesting to speak with a USA Manager as well to have the $101.50 removed from my current balance of $1,********* closing.
