      This is the email I sent them with no response back and still continuing to contact me saying they are picking up a pod that was picked up 2 weeks ago.Hello, thank you for getting back to me. I ordered my pod, the man on the phone said it would be no problem going straight from one house to the next on pick up. It ended up going to the ********* factory on ****************. So for over a week I didn't have items to wear, or to cook with including my work uniform. I was told the earliest I could get it was October 31st, the *********** factory helped me out and got it to me sooner because they saw the mistake. Upon arrival the driver said it tipped some and the door was stuck. I was able to get the door up enough to slip in and push back boxes in order to open it. Several bins were cracked and a few old antique dishes were broken. I'm still also receiving notifications that my bin is coming and they can't pick it up til November 7th, which I'd think loses you out on money you could be making from it. Overall the experience was horrible and caused more stress than necessary. Previously I had requested 300$ back, I think 500$ is more fair due to all the issues, and broken items. We are a young couple trying to make it in a very difficult world and the stress of the pod was very unnecessary. Thank you, *********************** Sent from my ******** ******* Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: Pods Advocacy Disputes <***********************************> Date: 10/26/23 11:07 AM (GMT-05:00) To: ****************** Subject: Scheduling Dispute Review for Refund - 10/20/2023 - ******************** Customer ID ********* Order #******* Case #******** No not only was a charged full price, had my things taken for an extended time, finally got it delivered, had items broken but now they want to charge me again for a pod that was already picked up.

      I am rejecting this response because: I have tried making contact with the company, I continue to get a voice messege, I have not been contacted back after leaving several messages. I would still like a full refund due to the situation and again not being able to make contact with the company to even discuss the situation. I am a 911 dispatcher and not always available to answer my phone. I work 60+ hours a week and have done my best to attempt contact. What is the next step in getting a refund.

      September 8, 2022, my husband, 52 yrs old passed away from Cancer. We were caring for 4 children that we planned on adopting at the time. Unfortunately, we did not receive any financial support for the children. Due to my husbands cancer treatments, he was unable to work, and I was. Seriously suffering financially having to pay for a funeral that we were completely unprepared for.I contacted PODS storage to see if I may be able to work out hardship amount with them. My 1st call went well, the women told me absolutely would be able to do that.But I needed to speak to a supervisor. I called and then emailed for MONTHS trying to get a manager to give me the amount, to no avail. I was ignored, lied to and treated with no respect. FINALLY, they gave me a payoff amount, which was so much more than the original amount I was trying to lessen. They charged me for all the months that they refused to supply me with a payoff amount.I have documents to sport my claim.Honestly, I had to borrow the money to get my ***, they told me I had 2 days before it went into the auction department. If wouldnt be auctioned until January 17th, ****. I was told they would remove the lock. from my *** on November 17th. Once the lock was removed, they could no longer deliver the *** to me. I had barely 2 days to try to find $1,741.17 I had to borrow this from my old boss, After the payment was made I contacted PODS to arrange the delivery of the *** to only be told that my account is locked, and I wont be able to do anything for 5-7 days. I have to unload the *** on/before 12/6/2023 so I am not charged another month from PODS, and they are now delaying the delivery of the ***.I called repeatedly to speak to *************************************** CEO of PODS, I was so desperate I sent her a personal message on ******************** She did not respond to either. I also had NO luck speaking to anyone in authority.****************************** ************

      I serve as CFO/Treasurer of a condo association. One of the owners had a *** placed in the common parking court. When the *** was removed from the property on August 21, 2023 the apparatus for picking up the *** caught a rare, mature Japanese maple and pulled major limbs from the tree. I filed an official report with PODS, on behalf of the condo association, on September 6, 2023. On that date I provided the person assigned to the claim, *****************************, with **************-stamped security cam video which clearly showed the damage in the act. The footage included the PODS truck driving away with a sizeable chunk of the tree dragging behind. I also provided photographs of the tree with the visible damage, as well as a timeline of events related to the damage. Over the past 2+ months I have left numerous voicemails and emails for ****************** and yet haven't ever gotten a response at all. I have also placed no less than a dozen calls to PODS in the past 2+ months, in addition to numerous emails. In one of my earlier calls I was told that I would receive an "offer" as restitution for the damage within 24 to 48 hours of my call. On later calls I was told the case was being elevated to a senior member of the resolution team. Yet another that a "claims specialist" other than ****************** would be calling me. I have heard several different excuses when I called, each call ending with a promise of action on my claim within 24 hours or 24 - 48 hours or 48 - 72 hours. To this day, I have NEVER received a phone call or email from PODS. At this point, I don't know whether to file a police report for the driver that damaged the association property or continue contacting PODS. We are approaching three months since the property was damaged and I have had NO response from PODS at all since I filed the claim. On my initial call to PODS I was given a case number. In later calls I was assigned a "reference number". I have also been disconnected by the PODS employees numerous times.

      Case #********: PODS damaged *********** *********************** property on August 21, 2023. Our claim was filed early-September 2023. After repeated attempts to follow-up over several months, with not a single response, I contacted BBB. Thanks to the aid of BBB, I was able to get a response out of PODS. I was eventually offered a settlement in the amount of $750 and was told I would receive a check within 10 - 14 business days, plus mailing time, after I signed the release. I emailed the signed/witnessed release on March 1, 2024 but still have not received payment. I have emailed twice to follow up and once via voicemail. I received one email response on March 28, 2024 that the PODS contact would ask accounting to process the check. It has been 40 days since I signed the release and still no check

      The company advertises that having an online account is the simplest way to make changes to your pods delivery or pick up. I went online to reschedule my pod delivery and I guess it didnt take because the pod still came on the original delivery date and when I called the company to tell them about their mistake, I was told Id get a callback and I never did. When I went to schedule the pod pick up prior to my second month of fees, there were no available pick up dates, so I went onto the chat and the lady there said she cant get it picked up prior to Nov. 17th. I told her that I didnt feel I should have to pay for a second month because the Pod came too early to begin with. Her response was, no worries which led me to believe I wouldnt be charged for the second month. I was charged and when I called to see about a solution, there was no help. The customer service lady couldnt or wouldnt help me and she said there was no way for me talk to anyone in a higher position. Pods has falsely advertised the convenience of their service. Pods has poor customer service by making it impossible to speak with anyone with authority that could find a resolution and that their agents lie/mislead their customers. On top of all of that, they have the wrong last name for me which makes it difficult for their agents to even get into my account.

      I rented a *** to help me move in mid September. They offer to rent blankets, which I paid $32.08 to do. The *** was delivered without the blankets. The driver told me I needed to drive to the local warehouse to pick them up. I drove the almost 30 minutes to the warehouse only for the manager to tell me they've never had blankets at this location. He promised to take it off my bill, but never did. I called PODS service line to open a case. Someone emailed me to discuss the claim on Oct. 6. I responded immediately and have sent follow up emails on Oct. 7th, 13, 22nd, and Nov 15, but have received no response at all. I should have been credited immediately for a service I didn't receive, but it's been two months.When I went to schedule them moving my *** to my new house a few days before my move out date, their earliest open date was 10 days in the future! That's completely ridiculous. I called explaining that I had to be out of my house by the end of the week. They were able to schedule my pickup even after telling me there were no drivers or trucks available to be able to do it sooner. Then on my bill I see they charged me an additional $80 for a "rush delivery" fee. I was never made aware of this ahead of time and not once was any kind of rush fee ever mentioned as being a thing. I should mention that when my *** was originally scheduled to be delivered to me, they called me the day of to reschedule. I received no consideration for that whatsoever. So when PODS has a problem, they can mess up my schedule and do whatever they want. When I have a problem, they get to assess me exorbitant fees without telling me ahead of time. I've spent almost two hours on the phone through multiple calls. An hour of drive time to the warehouse for nothing, and several emails over two months and have gotten nothing. Their customer service is the worst in the business. I don't know what they do, but it isn't service.

      I obtained a quote and was given a price for the rental of the **** the delivery, insurance on the container, and the non-paved fee. I was told my debit card would be charged $332.50. We were fine with the cost so I placed the order. The day before the *** was delivered, the charge was put on my debit card and they charged me over $80 more than the quote with zero explanation through email or text. I called PODS and wanted to know what the extra money was for. The person I spoke with didn't seem to understand what I was asking and it took me a while to finally get her to understand. I told her every detail of the original quote, including the quote number, and she told me it sounded like I had everything in order. I was advised that I would be receiving an email and someone would contact me for additional information. I did get an email that my query was opened but no one contacted me. Two days later, I received a second email stating they had investigated the claim and found that everyone acted appropriately. I can only imagine what phantom things I will be paying for in the future and receive no explanation as to why I am paying more. I STILL don't know why I was charged so much more and no one will tell me anything. To make matters worse, when the *** was delivered, it was placed at my neighbors house. They are fine with that but still. I was wanting PODS to honor their quote and the extra charge refunded to me but PODS is adamant they acted appropriately despite not letting me know why I was charged so much more.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      nothing has been resolved to my satisfaction.  PODS provided me with a quote which I approved then charged additional funds I DID NOT approve.  I asked for a quote 3 times and all 3 times I received the same quote.  They promised me one price and took another.  They STOLE money from me and I want that difference refunded.  It is deceptive to state one amount will be charged then take another without notifying me in some way.  They should have contacted me to get my approval or disapproval of that amount.  That is dishonest.

      Hired PODS moving company to relocate our home furnishing on 9/13/23. They referred Pro Movers to load in ********* and unload to ********, **. Multiple problems encountered from the beginning including theft. Our furniture was severely damaged because workers did not take proper precautions, including not rapping our furniture and Art work, although wrapping blankets were bought as recommended by them. And a jug of money was taken. Furniture was stuffed without caution or care. The lead worker even had a ankle bracelet on, after questioning him about our money . The company was informed and claims were filed, for damages in Milwaukee and then in *********. They have made in difficult to file a claim or address our concerns in a timely fashion. We are looking at $10,000 in damages to our furnishings. We are concerned that because we are Senior citizens, we may being taken advantage of. Our furniture is damaged and it's placed an emotional burden on us leading to some health issues due to the steress involved.Our expierence with the ********* Pods department also led ot damages to our furniture being destroyed, including broken beds, fireplace and $800 grill and a sound system.We put our trust in this company and they have been very slow to respond and have made it difficult to file the complaints and no real contact person identified to talk with . We want our claim to be completed ASAP. We did a major downsize in our home and what's left has been destoyed to our liking. The public needs to know our expierence with this company and we need BBB to contact thwem with our concerns. We also plan to file a claim with AARP, because they are taking advantage of us. It's been a horrible expierence for us at this time in our lives after living in our home for over 30 years

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:  We verified that our property was damaged and destyoyed with Phot's and video's and ongoing correspondence .There is also documentation of ongoing contact with ****** offiicials regarding who to hire and other concerns about how they were handling our case.     We hired PODDS and purchased the insurance to protect our property which they clearly did not do.   We followed all of the instructions to prepare so we could have peace of mind knowing that the last of our possession's would be safe.  We are retiree's in our 70's who decided to downsize and relocate.  ****** appears to want to transfer the blame but we hired them.  In addition, they contracted with a company who had a convicted feleon which they sent to our home and money was stolen.  Our damages are over $10,000 and we have had to destroy some of our furniture due to the damage.

      They need to take responsibility without hesitation.  

      Sincerely,

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

      I contracted with PODS to delivery a *** to a ******* Address on 3 Nov and pick up the *** on 10 Nov with a delivery date on 18 Nov. On the afternoon of 10 Nov PODS rescheduled the pick up to 16 Nov and a new delivery date of 28 Nov. No explanation has been given to the cause of the change. PODS has already collect $1400 in fees.The changed dates are causing hardships and will cause an elderly woman to move into an unfurnished apartment.I have tried to gain resolution through the customer care number and have spent countless time on hold on to get the same answer that there is no solution other than to wait.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I received a voicemail today from PODS and returned their call. The call went to voicemail and I am waiting their response. The *** has been picked up; however the delivery date is 9 days after the original contract date. The caller did state that they are trying to expedite the move but anything short of the scheduled date of 18 Nov will cause hotel expenses and lost work time. I look forward to a definite delivery date. 

      Sincerely,

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