I made an order with pods on may 26th over the phone. The person I was talking with was pleasant BUT the information I was given was incorrect. Over the phone I was told that I would pay roughly 2000-2400 for my container to be shipped (including the drop off fee, transportation and pick up) and I made sure multiple times that was the amount for everything. Right now Ive been charged over 3000 all together so far and called customer service. All they did was keep redirecting me to different people and kept telling me I confirmed the payment (by providing my credit card over the phone) and that I agreed to this amount. They kept referencing a confirmation of payment email (which I never got because they mistyped my email after 2-3 times spelling it out) and that technically I agreed over the phone to these other payments. I didnt realize my email was wrong until I tried logging in to confirm a pick up date so it was maybe 2 weeks after the call. The customer service representative told me it was my fault that I didnt go to my invoices to look at the payment amount sooner as I just noticed the charges on my card a week after pickup. I never was told to look at a confirmation email on the call for the amount and also never signed anything off on paper for payment confirmation/contract it was all just over the phone. I asked for the phone call as proof to make sure I didnt misunderstand but was redirected to documentation that was enough proof when the phone call in my opinion provided more info. They also kept emphasizing how much I already saved with discounts and kept going in a circle about docs and saving amount but never the proof I wanted to see. I would like some action taken as my experience was terrible and nothing was resolved or cleared up about my understandingBusiness Response

I had scheduled a PODS service for 2 containers. On June 21st they dropped off the first one with the 2nd scheduled to arrive on the 25th. On the 22nd I realized the first one they dropped off was damaged and does not lock. I called to get it replaced and spoke to 5 different people cause no one would help me. They told me they couldnt replace it until July 1st but I had to be out of my house by June 28th. They told me there is nothing they could do about it. So I had to cancel their service and use another company that could help me on my time line. They still charged me $531 and refuse to provide a refund because I cancelled. I didnt cancel cause I changed my mind, I canceled because they sent me a damaged container and couldnt replace it in time before I had to move. In the last 3 weeks Ive spoken with over 10 different people and no one will do anything.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
I did not cancel because I felt like it or changed my mind. I was forced to cancel because I was delivered a damaged pod and they could not provide me a replacement one in time before I had to be out of my house. What was I supposed to do? Move my stuff onto the street? I begged for a new container, spoke to 5 different people and not one person told me they could replace the pod in time I had no choice but to cancel because of pods damaged container and inability to replace it in time

I am rejecting this response because: I am not denying I initiated the cancellation. But the reason I had to was because they could not replace my pod in time with one that was damaged. I had to be out of my house June 28th but the soonest they could provide me a new pod was July 1st. They forced my hand as I had no choice to find someone else who could give me a container before June 28th because they could not.

This has been an exceptionally challenging time for my family during our military move.We have been working with PODS for 3 months on coordinating and executing the move and everything was going smoothly until it came time to collect our weight tickets (which are required to be included with the military's reimbursement system). Not having the empty weight tickets is putting significant hardship on our family as we are struggling to make ends meet. The military pays a specific amount per pound which incentivized us to use PODS as we are to be paid $11K for our time and troubles.At this time, I have called in 5 times and went through their email system without any resolution. The employees at PODS have been helpful on the call creating new tickets for their resolution team, but I have not yet been contacted back by anyone or followed up with after my initial calls.Calls about this issue:- June 4th for 7 minutes.- June 11th for 15 minutes.- June 13th for 6 minutes.- July 7th for 13 minutes.- July 11th for 3 minutes (this one the person on the line pretended to not be able to hear and cut out their voice as it was outside of working hours and they did not want to deal with it).What we truly want is for the empty weight tickets (for 1 LARGE and 1 SMALL container) to be provided as documented in our order that we have paid for otherwise we are out a substantial amount of money.Business Response

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding my recent experience with PODS. I rented a storage unit and subsequently purchased the contents/container protection through the PODS website. However, the website failed to clearly outline the coverage details and exclusions until after the purchase was completed. This lack of transparency prevented me from making an informed decision, and had I been provided with the necessary information upfront, I would have opted for a more reliable alternative.Moreover, due to a breach in the seal/door of the PODS container, pests infiltrated the unit, causing significant damage to my personal belongings. As a result, I was forced to dispose of approximately $3,000 worth of property. This incident was not caused by any action or negligence on my part but was a direct consequence of the compromised integrity of the container provided by PODS.In my efforts to seek a resolution, I filed a claim with the insurance company, Unirisc, but my claim was denied twice. Given that this issue originated with the purchase on the PODS website and the significant financial loss incurred, I am seeking a full refund of $1,144.92 for the rental and associated services.This request is made in good faith, considering the inadequate disclosure of exclusions prior to purchasing the contents/container protection and the substantial damages I have suffered due to the compromised storage conditions. I believe that this resolution is fair and just, reflecting responsible business practices and customer service standards. I trust that ********************** will address this matter promptly and to my satisfaction.Thank you for your attention to this serious issue.Business Response

Complaint: 21983098
I am rejecting this response because: my complaint is NOT based solely on the denial. My complaint is based on the way your insurance information is presented your website; which purposefully leaves pertinent information out that would be necessary for a consumer to purchase vs. not purchase an insurance policy advertised prior to checkout of the pod itself. The insurance is presented based off the amount of desired coverage based off the value of the contents inside the pod, and willfully excludes most of the exclusion clauses. Those clauses are only disclosed AFTER a purchase is made. Had I been made aware of this I would have never used you. Your customer service reps refuse to help or submit a support ticket based off the omissions on your website and they have refused to even issue a partial refund based off something of no fault of my own. Willfully omitting information prior to purchasing is not a truthful or fair business practice. The cost of my services so far $1144.92. I wasnt asking for a full refund, rather a partial refund.

I ordered two containers from PODS for my move. When they delivered the containers, one was damaged and they had to swap it out. The damage was by no fault of my own. This is where the problems began. Instead of removing the damaged POD from my billing account, they began charging me for three PODS. The swap also created unauthorized and erroneous price adjustments to my services. This has resulted in many erroneous charges made to my credit card. I was contracted for a total of $696.71 including tax. To this date they have charged my credit card $1,360.97. I have spent over 10 hours on the phone with their customer service and billing departments throughout this process trying to get my credit card refunded for the erroneous charges. I have been berated, accosted, and verbally abused. They have been unsuccessful in refunding me the correct amount, and two days following the final pickup and payment, I am still receiving erroneous charges on my credit card. Its absolutely out of control and behavior like this cannot be tolerated. I have filed disputes with my credit card company and am also filing this claim with the BBB. *** never felt so abused and taken advantage of by a merchant. I honestly cant believe they conduct business in this way. Ive tried everything I can to get this rectified but PODS has made it impossible. I need further assistance in this matter.Business Response

In June of 2024 I made a single payment to pods. I immediately told them to take the card off file because I do not wish to use that particular card.

In summary. The company made me buy a permit for street parking under one set of conditions and after having horrible communication changed the agreement/conditions for me in a way that I was no longer able to use the services or the permit which was not refundable. I would like the company to pay for the street permit since the company changed the conditions of delivery after I had already invested money into the permit.

I am rejecting this response because:
Although I did have a call in which steps to a resolution where discussed (which I am amenable to), the steps which were supposed to be initiated by the business were not initiated yet. The business's email response says "At this stage, we are awaiting for the necessary documentation from *********************************.

I was told in the recent call that I would receive an email from the person I talked to, to which I would need to reply and attach my permit documentation. I have been waiting for this email but it has not arrived (I have only gotten marketing emails from PODS so far). As I have not received that email I cannot send the document in a reply email. I have checked the junk folder as I was previously instructed.However: I will attach it to this response.

I got a qoute and locked in on PODS moving and the price was agreed on after a discount code of PODS30. I proceeded with my move with ****** to drop off container, and was stored for 3 months at the price of ******. I gave my moving address which was only a 14 mile difference. I was told my account was closed and recreated in which on documentation there are 2 order numbers, and the second order does not reflect my discount and i have 3 statements with different numbers. I had always had ***** and my moving cost even after the updated address. Until i see ***** taken from my account. I have been calling for 2 weeks, multiple agents, and one dispute and everyone say they cant help and is accurate. They said it was an additional 700 dollar for a 44 miles difference for the warehouse which cant be right when they are in the same area. The information that i know was an error is only from the 3 American based agents i spoke to. I wake up to check my account 4 a.m. another 306 was taken from my account for I ASSUME delivery fee, when i was told it was paid. And the delivery fee was only supposed to be 162. As my container is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I need this matter resolved as they keep hit my account for amounts not agreed upon and i dont wanna close my account. Please helpBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because:We did not come to a resolution on the discount for the redelivery fee. She did not try to thrive for customer satisfaction and accommodate me for such a big inconvenience, however she did make sure my original discount was applied on the transit. PODS also had a scheduled date to come to pick up the container on july 13th and did not show or called to say they were not coming. They contacted me to let me know they would be out to pick up the container on the 16th and i had to call off work to be present to make sure they came. Such an inconvenience and I still continue to lose money behind this company
Sincerely,
