Long-distance move from Charlotte, NC to San Antonio, TX

Bait & Switch Operation.

Horrible sales practice. They tell you the dimensions of the shell and not the cage. They also say their biggest shell fits a 3 bedroom house which is 100% not the case unless you have no furniture. Watch out for salesperson EPEREZ. This guy would sell his own mother for a sale.

Long-distance move from El Paso, TX to New Milford, CT

Disgusting And Awful Service.

My mom used these morons from her TX move to CT and her and my disabled grandmothers personal belongings and badly needed medical equipment has not arrived a month later and way past the contract date! Oh best part, now they told her that they didn't deliver door to door to our CT address and she would have to get it herself! Hmmmm chargeback much?!! I would instruct everyone to do the same and chargeback your card. Trust me I am a business owner and the card companies are on your side and you will win.

Long-distance move from Buffalo, NY to Tucson, AZ

Don't ship with this company.

I just had a wonderful experience with U-Pack moving this year and it reminded me how bad my service was when I moved with Zippy last year. I owe it to others to write an honest review about this company. Each thing the company promised, they reneged on (i.e. the window of arrival time, reimbursement for lateness, what was provided/needed). It was a nightmare for our family's cross-country move. Our things arrived a full month after we arrived. The company blamed the movers they worked with and took no responsibility. The local company they hired to move our things in didn't want to go all the way upstairs (despite us specifically requesting this in our agreement and paying for it). One guy even quit half way through. Zippy Shell did not follow up despite promises of reimbursement and a negative experience review to their company. Please don't use this company unless you have money and time to waste. On a bright note, the safe was always very helpful..though utterly useless.

Long-distance move from Gulf Breeze, FL to Placerville, CA

Joke of a company.

Plagued by billing and delivery issues. Steer clear of this company at all costs. Moving is stressful, don't let these clowns add to it.

Long-distance move from Woodland Hills, CA to Royal Oak, MI

Do Not go With This Company Please!

TOTAL NIGHTMARE, It’s a scam! It will cost you more money waiting for your stuff than what you actually saved from going with a good company like pods! I’ve been told that my stuff is arriving everyday for the last 2 weeks! Save yourself the stress and just go with pods.

Long-distance move from Minneapolis, MN to Santa Fe, NM

Horrendous!

Wow, when you tell them your drop off and pick up days, then they pick all new days for you! How convenient, NOT! They don’t even tell you the days might not be guaranteed! Our movers were already lined up! Horrible customer service. Roxanne, along with the other employees, are scam artist! Do NOT use this awful company!!

Local move within Greensboro, AL

SCAM

Just the worst. Did not even respond to our calls and showed up late!

Do not believe what they stayed on their website that they will be there when you arrive. We gave them ample notice and they did not even show up on time and the communication was horrible!
