PODS failed to notify military family of unserviceable move date

PODS confirmed a delivery schedule it could not fulfill, then waited nearly two months to notify a military family of the change, leaving no time to make alternate arrangements for a mandatory relocation. Customer service refused to escalate or find a workaround. This is an individual service failure in moving logistics.
