I scheduled a move with PODS on June 1 (order #XXXXXXX). The original dates agreed upon and scheduled were to deliver an empty container to my first address on June 18, 2022. They would pick up the loaded container on June 21, 2022. This all went as scheduled.
The redelivery to my new address was scheduled for July 1, 2022. The empty container pickup was scheduled for July 5, 2022. The container was mishandled on June 22, 2022 and lost in the system, resulting in a new delivery day of July 20, 2022. No efforts were made to correct their error or expedite the process - they would get my belongings to me at the next convenient time for them. I was displaced from my new home until the delivery of my belongings and this caused an huge disruption to my life and an enormous amount of stress.
The total amount PODS charged me for their services is as detailed:
$511.07 delivery/storage/protection + $2,270.40 mileage + $149.00 redelivery fee = $2,930.47 total
I am requesting a refund for the nonrefundable movers I paid for on the original delivery day (charged on July 1, 2022), reimbursement for the amount of time I was unable to live in my home due to not having any of my belongings, and a reimbursement for the redelivery fee that occurred 20 days later than scheduled. This totals to $1,496.62 which is comprised of $121.82 for the nonrefundable movers' fee, $1,225.80 for the period of time my new home was unlivable (day of lease beginning on July 1, 2022 until July 20, 2022), and $149.00 for the redelivery fee.
($1900/mo in rent / 31 days in July = $61.29/day * 20 days late = $1,225.80 requested for displacement)
I submitted a shipping dispute/claim on July 1, inquired about it twice, and have had no resolution or communication at all regarding the claim.
Details about each call I made during this process are detailed in an attachment with screenshots of the portal on different days. Additional attachments are provided for order confirmation and bills.Business Response

This is not an adequate response - this is just a blanket statement about customer service which they must not believe in because I have yet to speak to anybody with remorse about the situation they put me in. Somebody from PODS reached out with an updated claim number for the BBB complaint but nobody has contacted me to speak with me about the claim and how we can come to a resolution. I submitted my compliant here to the BBB due to the lack of response to the first claim I submitted with PODS, to which they only provided me a case number, did not reach out to me, rejected the original claim without discussing it with me, reopened the original claim at my insistence, and their lack of communication or help is the reason why I contacted the BBB.
I have attached a copy of the email PODS sent me in response to my claim. Again, nobody has called me or spoken to me about my issue and I do not accept the blanket customer service statement they pasted here on August 10, 2022.

I used Pods to move across the country. I purchased $10k insurance to cover the contents from them. Upon arrival, nearly all my items were damaged and broken. Filed a claim. They denied it, stating it was "normal shifting". So having the legs broken off a dresser, the top of an upright freezer scraped and damaged plus screws and parts broken off, as well as side tables with their shelves ripped off the screws is normal. And that was just some. Went to Pods directly and they said I should have purchased extra insurance from another company, so clearly they know they won't help and charge you for theirs for no reason. They offered 250 when I lost the freezer because it no longer worked which was almost 5x that amount alone. Damages of smashed glass, broken furniture, literal chunks of wood taken from chairs and tables were "minor damages" All items were strapped down.Business Response

I used PODS on-site storage for six months, than used them to move my things from *********, ** to the DFW area in *****. The container was picked up from my location on 4/22/22. It was supposed to be delivered to my new address on 4/30/22. We arrived in at our new home on 4/27/22. I had to contact PODS several times before they could even give me a status update. Early May they finally told me that due to an internal shipping dispute, my container had not even left the yard in *********. PODS than have me a delivery date of 5/16/22, that date rolled around and my container still hadn't left the yard, again, due to an internal shipping dispute. After two separate incident reports, and being charged a monthly rental fee when the container sat in their yard. After going round and round with customer service, my container was finally on 6/4/22. I had the container emptied and PODs came and picked it up on 6/10/22. I was charged a Monthly rental fee, again. PODS refunded one month of rent, but again, I'm going round and round filing incident reports and calling customer service to get a refund with no results. I want a full refund due to breach of contract on PODS end. I've been in contact with a corporate, but that representatives voicemail now states that she is out of the office until further notice. I'm not sure where to turn for help on this issue, hopefully the BBB can bring some light to the situation.Business Response

The issue has not been resolved. The PODS executive associate has responded and stated that my case is under review. I believe the tactic that PODs uses is, to be under a constant state of review until either the complaint gives up or the statue of limitations runs out. Please advise anyone that signing a PODs contract is a very bad idea and to look for other options.Business Response

Booked 4 PODS, three have processed correctly. The last 8ft container was not time stamped by PODS so it was not picked up on 8/27/22 as scheduled. I have called 5 times, get different answers and was also told my *** was picked up on 7/28 when my neighbor texted me that it was still at my house and sent a picture. As of today no one from the company has assisted me, I moved from ********** to ***** on 8/22. I was expecting my *** on 8/9 but that is unlikely to occur. I cannot even get them to pick the *** up from my old address. I need the items in the *** to successfully work from home. Their staff made promises to call me back, have the *** picked up ASAP and none of that has occurred. I have spent thousands of dollars to utilize their *** and their incompetence and lack of professionalism is distressing. Moving is already stressful, I do not need additional stress when I am only asking for service I paid for.Business Response

I requested moving services from PODS from ******, ******* to *****, ***.They provided a detailed estimate, which I accepted. They indicated that once my paperwork is completed the truck will leave to ***** with my items and usually takes about a week. They informed me that if I leave on June 30, so will the truck, assuming paperwork approved (given that the truck cannot leave before I do). I checked with multiple agents to ensure this was the case for planning purposes (hotel booking, etc.) and they confirmed.I left on June 30th. Paperwork was approved on July 1. I called the day after for an eta but agent indicated truck did not leave as they typically need 1 to 2 weeks to locate a driver and that previous agents provided incorrect information. Date of estimated arrival online was initially set to July 8 was then changed and truck arrived July 14 (but they indicated that they are short staffed and are unable to drop off by POD until July .25.They agreed to give a storage fee refund of $260.10 (but not the tax component for whatever reason) which covers the period from June 20 to July 20. Instead, they my charged my credit card 4 times for that amount each day. They also charged be an additional storage fee (from July 15 to July 20). I called many, many times and no one could explain the double storage storage charge or how to correct the multiple charges (vs. a refund). Finally around July 20 someone from billing called and we went through all charges He indicated most likely technical issue / clerk not knowing his job. He indicated my credit card will be removed from system and no more erroneous charges and account closed. I thought this was over and done with but today (Aug 2), they once again charged by cc for $590 (and reversed a prior refund). Again, refusing to remove my credit card from their systems when I have nothing further to do with them. Now they are expecting me to go through the same process all over again, open an incident, etc.Business Response

That response does not make sense whatsoever.

That is, "Do not store cardholder data unless it's absolutely necessary".

I am rejecting this response because: Pods is now demanding we pay approximately $1996. We had a dispute regarding a charge pods reimbursed rather than agree with the dispute. We withdrew the dispute my bank notified their bank and release the funds back to WellsFargo, PODs bank. Collections have been and continues to threaten law suits collections and auction off contents in the **** The POD has been cleared out more than a month ago. They are relentless and also admitted it will take time to zero out the balance. This is entirely PODs errors ongoing since June/July. They have me so upset my diabetes is becoming hard to control. There is nothing more we can do the funds are between the banks and PODs. PODs representatives refuse to contact their own bank to confirm funds.

I am rejecting this response because: I have attached the letter from BOA the funds and dispute were reversed. *** did not show date the funds were returned as previously mentioned back in august. *** stated PODs bank should release the funds back to PODs by October 7 or before. I spoke to a Pods representative recently who started a manager could have requested the funds back there was no need for the harassment. I would appreciate pods confirmation.
Sincerely,

We ordered pods in Feb 2022 for a move from NC to GA. We were quoted a price of approximately 3000 we were told that when we needed the pods out of storage to call 4-5 days before they needed to be at the location. We contacted them approximately 10 days before a supervisor told us that was impossible. We had a friends and family discount do I contacted the person who got me the discount she works in logistics and told me the pods were in Savannah and could be delivered on time with no problem. Customer service however did not know where or pods where and were laughing at my husband and I saying no way they eould be there on time. Then we were transferred and told they would be there May 20th at 10 am they were not delivered until around 3pm so we had to pay the people unloading extra hours for sitting there. Then the driver dropped the pod breaking several of my items. We had the pods scheduled to be picked up the following day 2 were picked up one was left until the Saturday after. When I called asking why it was still there they didnt even know any 9f the three were delivered. I filed a complaint with them they got all the information and since June 17th after opening a claim now noone will respond. We were over charged, items damaged and treated terrible. We need a resolution on this matter asap. Thank you, **** ******
