Moved from Louisiana to Colorado. PODS made my move very easy and convenient because I didn't feel comfortable driving a 20ft truck. The PODS pick up and delivery men were very friendly and professional.
Negative PODS Moving & Storage Reviews
Susan Dérivas, Google
Beware you can easily be overcharged. They will add extra charges to the 'final price'. They overcharged me +$400, I had a hold put on my credit card and still battling the issue.
Darrell Johnson, Google
I recently purchased a pod to move from Louisiana to Tampa FL. The pod never came in during the scheduled time, and I was sent an email changing my delivery date. Customer service did nothing to accommodate.
Landon Miller, Google
This was a nightmare scenario for us honestly. Our container was lost for several weeks and I couldn't get anyone to take me seriously or return my emails.
Neutral PODS Moving & Storage Reviews

Didn’t honor advertised discount and had issues opening and closing POD door.
Juli White, Google
The company is good for storage in your driveway but that is about it. Moving out of state dont recommend. I had a problem with my lock and keys.
Puja Sharma, Google
This was the first time I used PODS. Everything was great, except when it was time to re-deliver the container, they said they need to use 'City Services' which was more expensive that the quote I was given.
