      The problem started with a phone conversation with PODS regarding an existing quote; *********; in order to schedule a personal long distance move from ******, ** to ***********, **. Pods associate verified over phone on July 17th that my delivery was scheduled for July 23rd and the pickup scheduled for July 27th in ******, **. I was asked to provide pickup address location for ****** as well as drop off address location for ***********. Upon the end of the phone call, I was left with the impression that my container delivery and pickup in ******, ** was fully scheduled for July 23rd and 27th respectively. This was verified over the initial phone conversation. After logging in to my account on ********************** and signing the contract as I was instructed to do, I did not see the container pickup scheduled. I realized it was not completed, and that I had to select a date myself. I was not instructed to do this nor that this would be the case. The soonest date for me to select for pickup in ****** was August 6th. This was not acceptable as my lease would terminate on July 27th. In addition, this was not acceptable because I was told that a pickup date for the 27th was not only possible, but scheduled. In order to resolve this issue with PODS, I had another phone conversation where I was instructed to call after the container was delivered to have a ticket sent in. This would enable the pickup date to be expedited to the 27th if it was approved. After calling on the 23rd and submitting a ticket, I received no email verification like mentioned. As a result, I called on July 24th for an update on the case. I was told the request was denied and there was no way to move up the date despite the associate verifying a pickup date for the 27th on my initial call to schedule my move and establish a contract with PODS.Ultimately I am dissatisfied with the deceitful service and am seeking help with a resolution for my container to be picked up timely.

      I was moving overseas in August 2021 and had my items placed in a PODS Container. I have now moved back to the US and am trying to have my PODS container moved from the original site of storage (storage facility) to my new city in another state. I have been on the phone with them for 3.5 hours and spoken to 5 representatives. I have received different information from the representatives and have been hung up on. I still don't know how to get my POD moved and upon review of the charges made, it appears that there are a lot of hidden charges. I would strongly recommend against ever using this company. I will make sure that everyone I know is aware of how awful and deceitful this company is

      Complaint: 22038905

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I disagree with Pods and their response to my claim. 
      There were several items that were missing and Pods is the only one who had access to the container. The container was left unattended in **********, DE for 3 days and also in ******, S.C. for a day and a half. 

      I was contacted by a *************************** from Pods. He told me the ONLY reason that Pods would not reimburse me for the missing items was because I didnt pay for the lock that the Pods driver gave me with only 2 keys, but if I paid him for that lock I would get reimbursed  thats about the stupidest thing Ive heard. I simply thought the driver gave me the lock was just for him being considerate. If thats true about me paying for the lock instead of not paying for it he should be terminated because his action cost me $12, ****** in missing items that I cannot afford to buy. 
      Its not fair that my sons and myself should have to re purchase items. Im on a fixed income and cannot afford to purchase them again. 

      I am requesting to be refunded the total amount of Pods delivery charge of $2,23.26. 
      Im requesting that Pods reimburse me for the total of the missing items and a refund $12,236.75 for a total of $14,460.00
      I am requesting that Pods pay me $75,000.00 for mental anguish.

      Complaint: 22038905

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I responded to Unirisc.Inc on 08/12/2024 and resent the police report to *********** on 08/13/2024. 

      I disagree with Pods with their decision.  Its obvious that I accepted the terms of their agreement thats standard with most agreements however if I known that, as well as 99% of people that if my items were damaged or went missing there was absolutely nothing I could do or that the company wouldnt reimburse me there would be no reason to even mention that in their clause. 

      I was looking over my agreement and noticed that I even paid to have the insurance to cover $10,000.00 in the event that something did happen, your were not even mentioning that. 
      I dont accept or even care that you are making assumptions that no one was in that pod to take anything.  They requested a police report, which ********** police sent you again as requested.  Why would you request that if you had no intention of reimbursing me ?
      I can also resend you receipts for the items I have re purchased. I can also resend you copies of my bank statements showing how this has affected us financially over the past 4 months. I have worked hard over the years as a single parent to acquire the things that were for my sons and myself not to be just taken away with no regard.  I have again for the 2nd time had to purchase clothes, computers, etc for them for school and everyday life. I cant afford to replace everything nor should I have to when I had already done so prior.  I cant even buy them new clothes and school supplies for this school year. 

      This makes me feel like a horrible parent its bad enough that I cant afford to buy them the clothes and shoes that they want when they already had them before they went missing.

      Im resending the police report and what Im asking for again regarding the claim.  
      Im not going to just forget about this claim.  We deserve at best what Im requesting.


      Fully reimbursed from Pods
      $2,223.26

      The total amount of the missing items
      $14,460.00

      For the mental anguish and the mental health issues from this. 
      (Which 4 months later Im still trying to resolve this)
      $50,000.00

      All Totaling   $66,683.26

      I originally requested a quote from PODs. I had to put a card on file to hold the quote. I ended up storing my belonging elsewhere. I didn't use any of PODS services. I never signed the only rental agreement. Also, I received an email.on June 25th saying that it was the last day to cancel without a fee. I called and canceled. Yet, Pods keep trying to charge my card. In one email, it stated they provided me a service; therefore, I owe them money. In a phone call, it states it is the cancelation fee. The representatives aren't listening to me and keep on insisting that I owe ******. I have attached the following evidence to backup my claim of wrongdoing. I am requesting that PODs close the account and dismissed the wrongfully alleged fees.

      Pod delivered on July 6th, picked up July 9th. Requested POD relocation on July 10th. Did not get processed till July 13th. POD delivered to a different location 1 hour away from where I live. All forwarded correspondence from PODS shows delivery to this unrequested location. I have spoken with more than 3 individuals in different states and countries to include a supervisor who assured me that she would contact me with updates and has not done so as of July 20th. I was assured by a representative who lives in ********** that my pod is at my requested location in *********. I attempted to go to the location on July 19th and it was closed by 2pm. I have requested some form of reimbursement and have yet to hear from anyone who can resolve this matter. I have been living out of a few boxes. Im sleeping on a blow air mattress, and Im forced to eat cold cuts and take out because of the amount of time it has taken to obtain my belongings due to all the problems occurring with PODS. I also had a representative from PODS place an order for a second unit and requested an additional $3800. I PODS advocacy dispute person contacted me about ordering an additional pod and has not be reachable by phone since the initial voicemail. There have been several emails from PODS with updates that do not provide me with ease.

      Complaint: 22019830

      I am rejecting this response because: email stating my pod has been accessed today 7/23/24. I am not scheduled to access my pod until 7/27/24. Who accessed my container, why is it still showing it is in ******** California, why am I not provided a direct phone number to contact pods at the location listed?

      I am paying additional movers to collect my belongings because my apartment complex does not allow portable storage containers on site. What is the recourse if my pod is not at the location advised? When will I be provided with details on how to access my pod on 7/27/24? 

      Sincerely,

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

      PODS was very quick to drop off the *** to my residence. The headaches began when I called to change storage from on premises to their storage facility. I called and scheduled a pick up to bring the pod to storage 5 days in advance. When the scheduled pick up day came (Monday 7/15/24), PODS never showed. I texted them at 7am local time and confirmed the pod would be picked up. I called mid day and was told it was still confirmed. When i finally called at 5pm local time they said there was an "issue" with their system and that they would pick it up the following day. Next day came (Tuesday 7/16/24), and I did the same process of texting and calling to confirm it was still scheduled for pick up. Once 2pm came around I called them and escalated things to a supervisor who I spent 2 hours on the phone with. They told me they would manually have to put the order in and they wouldn't be able to pick up the pod for another two days.The main problem here is that all of our belongings needed to be off the location (including the *** and all of our other things in the house) on Tuesday 7/16/24 by 12pm. We sold our house the previous Friday (7/12/24), and had until the 16th to have everything removed, otherwise we open ourselves to financial penalties of $100/day. This was the "temporary lease" agreement. This is why we scheduled our *** pickup for the day before (Monday 7/15/24) so we had some wiggle room in case something went wrong.It is now Wednesday 7/17/24 and our *** is still sitting there. It is supposedly going to be picked up tomorrow. The buyers are moving into the house today and are not happy. We will likely be held accountable for $200 (or more until the *** is removed).This is not a cost that I have caused, but instead is a direct result of PODs inability to meet their own dates and their absolutely terrible handling of this situation.PODs should be held responsible here and give me a credit on my bill but they are fighting doing so.DO NOT USE THEM

      I am rejecting this response because:

      We still have a container with PODS that is being stored. I am not convinced that the mishandling and mismanagement of my personal belongings will be truly over until this transaction is completed. Further, I am still subject to recouped money by the buyers of my old house due to PODs not removing the *** from the premises in the TWO DAYS we gave them to do it (both missed). This can happen at any time.

      Date of transaction was So, was told Pod delivery would be between 9am and 11:30am on 07/16/2024. On day of delivery pod deliver was changed multiple times. At 1:30pm received a call from representative that pod would be the second one on route. After this never received a call again. I called multiple times being told during first phone call that due to call outs there was a shortage of drivers and no one could deliver the pod. Called about 15 minutes later to ********** pod location. Manager voicemail full. Retried customer service, told by ***** that I would get a call on 07/17 with information and Pod would be sent out first thing.The ***etting part is that we have movers scheduled for 9am on the 17th which is today. Pods had no regard for this and due to lack of Information this has made us irate. I would not recommend pods to anyone if they are moving.The dishonesty and breach of contract that this company has put us through will be sent to a lawyer to look at and will be sending this information to News 12 if pod is not delivered today. At least call your customers when you say you will. Very disappointed and as a medical professional I believe this is a lack of disrespect and honor in the companys part. I also still have no info on pod delivery which is now causing the mover company to try to cancel my appointment with them. This company should be ashamed of themselves to say they support their customers. This will need to be addressed if not will Need higher *** and HR numbers to further discuss this issue
