Moving-container no-shows put home closings and deposits at risk

A customer selling their home had a scheduled PODS container pickup that never occurred, and despite multiple calls, two escalations, and a promised supervisor callback that never came, the pickup was rescheduled nearly a month out with delivery to the new home pushed to late July. The delay now threatens the customer's closing timeline, deposits, and risk of default, corroborating a separate report of PODS mishandling scheduled pickups elsewhere in this dataset.
