PODS cancels deliveries twice and charges a waived storage fee
A PODS moving and storage customer had two scheduled deliveries cancelled by the company and was charged a storage fee they had been told would be waived. Ten days after filing a formal complaint, PODS has not followed up, leaving the customer suspecting the delays and charges are not accidental.
Moving/storage company reverses promised refund with no clear policy
A customer was told in writing that a scheduling change would not affect their price, then was charged extra and had a promised refund reversed without explanation. Escalation to a dedicated review team produced no timely follow-up.
Repeated Pickup Failures Billed as Continued Service
A storage container customer scheduled a final pickup and then absorbed four failed attempts over ten days, with reasons that shifted between no-show, wet ground, and a blocked access claim the customer disputes as false. On the last attempt the driver cited an unwritten corporate rule requiring three consecutive rain-free days for units placed on grass. Meanwhile the operator charged an additional month of rental and posted a pending pickup fee for a pickup that never happened.
