PODS Moving & Storage rents steel-framed containers that customers load themselves, and its website lists local and long-distance moving and storage-center rental alongside them. The company says it pioneered portable storage in 1998. A recent customer said Steve Smith navigated the POD past overhead wires that are fairly low at the end of the driveway. A recent reviewer said that when Steve Smith's podzilla broke down, he was back a half hour later with a new truck. A recent customer said Jon T. contacted them before delivery to verify how the POD should sit in the driveway, then reassessed the setup. Paul and Tim handled the pick-up of an 8-foot POD that a recent customer used as storage during a single room renovation. A recent customer said pick-up times were shifted at the last minute, by a day or within the day, but it was never an issue. In a 2024 review, a customer said Shalina, the manager of the Taunton PODS office, arranged a same day delivery after a miscommunication about a delivery date. A 2024 r/boston commenter said they used PODS for container shipping cross country. A recent customer said a 16-foot drop-off set for 2PM was cancelled with a 10AM call, and they were charged $160 for it. A 2025 customer said their POD was never delivered after a truck broke down, and they had to cancel their movers and pay a fee. A 2025 customer said a quote from the sales team was not honored by the billing department and they were overcharged nearly $800, though their two containers were moved, stored and delivered without damage. A 2024 customer said that after two weeks of use their items were covered with bugs and hundreds of ants. A 2022 customer said they were billed almost $900 to have a container shipped to a new address and got back about half of that. On Google the company holds 4.5 stars from 92 ratings, and its Better Business Bureau grade is A+.
“We used Pods because back then they were the only one like that. You lock it and no one has access to your stuff.”
“I wish we had 1) used PODS and 2) stayed somewhere furnished for the first few weeks”
“I still leave bad reviews for PODS sometimes, they can get absolutely fucked. Stole more than $700 from me”
“used PODS to do a no hassle container shipping cross country. Much better experience.”
Holly was wicked amazing!! She picked up with such a positive attitude and really made our whole move way more peaceful. Her professionalism and customer service felt so genuine! She deserves a raise!
Paul and Tim were a great pick-up team. The 8’ POD was a perfect storage solution for our single room renovation. It felt like a good value. I will use PODs again.
Minor issues with initial delivery of empty pod, but VERY responsive pickup. Evan is extremely talented at manuevering a 16' POD in demanding locations. He's an asset to the brand.
Yall. Jon T is the bomb dot com. He’s such a great guy. I’m so blessed. Great service. Great process.
Jon T was so friendly, so helpful, and so efficient! We hope you hire people like him!
