Excellent storage facility and makes sense economically. I stored everything I had for 3 years and all was perfectly fine when I moved into my new apartment. Would recommend completely. Thanks PODS :)

PODS were a great company to use for the removal and storage of my furniture. Their customer service was friendly and efficient throughout. The removal service and subsequent delivery was flawless. I would use PODS again and recommend it to friends and family.

I had a long term storage pod with PODS, I experienced a high level of customer support from start to finish from the team especially Helen and Diane and the delivery and taking away of the pod was seamlessly smooth and with minimal/no disruption. I highly recommend PODS above any other storage company.

I recently moved house and decided to use Pods after reading several positive reviews online. From start to finish I found them to be professional, friendly, and easy to keep in touch with. Moving day was so much less stressful than I feared it would be, because the men from Pods turned up dead on time, were so careful loading my stuff and were very reassuring. I was given the key to my container in case I needed to get into it at their storage depot before I moved to my new home. When I did move in a few weeks later, everything ran just as smoothly and they had everything unloaded really quickly

Well I came across this while looking for storage as I had a couple of weeks from moving out of house into my new one. It was the perfect solution. I didn't have to drive anywhere to take my things, just walk out of my front door to the drive. The guys who dropped it off were polite and it was quite cool to watch how they off load it. I got them to pick it up and put it in storage for a couple of weeks. Then the guys that dropped it off unloaded it for me and they were polite and covered all the carpets etc and did an amazing job. Nothing got broken, everything was as I had stored it. I did use

Dianne at PODS was incredibly helpful in working out the right solution for our house move. I appreciated her honesty and transparency in trying to find something that would work for us, rather than what would make the most money for her business. Thanks Dianne, I highly recommend PODS for anyone who needs a storage solution!

PODS Moving and Storage has been a LIFE-SAVER for me! As an international student, I left all my things in the UK and flew back home because *you know why*. Then when I had to quickly vacate my accommodation, PODS kindly packed all my things and have been keeping my items safe in storage for the last YEAR. They communicated with the reception at my accommodation and got all my things out of there and safe into storage! Communication is fast and the price is fair!! PODS is an amazing service!!!
