Horrible service,Horrible customer service with too much deception and dishonesty. Never recommending this company to anyone,would surely never use again. Stay away from Pack Rat at all cost,nothing but stress!!
The ONLY thing done on time was to take their payment. Our initial delivery on# 1) June14th didn't show until June 15th, though we had recieved a call telling us we were on the schedule for June 14th. The pick up of full pod on the 17th #2) shorted us a day to load it all and very stressful. We moved out of state and scheduled for June 27th as delivery. I recieved a call saying the pod was in the facility in Bridgeton, Mo and was on schedule for the #3) 28th-or 29th. Did not come on 28th and no call to us to inform us of any change, but they said either ..ok we wait. We then get a call saying it was scheduled for the 29th-30th as it did not come on the 28th . #4) On the 29th I get a... Read More
They are the worst! Paid extra for an AM delivery. It did not show in the AM so I called was assured the driver was going to call me and they graciously gave me the extra for the AM delivery back. Well called again and they are not even coming at all. So here sits all my items in the pouring rain! They do NOT care that I took off work and waited and hired people to move these items so they could be placed into the container as soon as it arrived. They told me to go put a tarp over it. They had my phone number they NEVER called me to even say they were having problems now they say it will be delivered tomorrow. BEWARE!!!!!
Pack rat does a bait and switch. Their website states an 8 ft pod is $189/month plus $84 delivery. We were supposed to get $100 off the first month. Something doesn’t add up. They sent us an email that at delivery it would be $243.88 and each month after $260.85. They then told me it was $229/month. The fee still doesn’t add up because taxes aren’t $30/month. They are SCAMMING their customers!!!! I canceled.
Horrible. Kept changing my delivery date, no communication, corporate didn’t seem to care. F-
Missed delivery date no call no show. When I called to find out what happened I was told I would get calls back. Not once did they call back after I had to follow up 3 more times. Horrible customer service, horrible delivery, not sure about the product as we never got it, was bad enough dealing with the company.
Update: "Social media resolution team" followed up but unfortunately issue was not resolved. They said the warehouses had no official record of changing the lock. Apparently a couple calls constitutes an investigation and if its not written down - nothing could have happened. They kept saying "no evidence", "unfortunately, there is nothing else we can do" and "no one else I could speak to", and "max we could do" is to hire a locksmith and submit a claim for reimbursement. They asked for my pictures and refused to acknowledge the difference in before and after pictures. After significant resistance, I walked them through the pics to point out the 2 lock locations: one on the left... Read More
Warning on using pack rat. They had REMOVED my prior lock (you would have to drill/cut it without the key) and CHANGED to a (same type but) different lock w/o my permission and never told me. I did a long distance move and storage Sacramento to Seattle. After my pod was delivered - when I tried to open the lock, key wouldn't fit. After trying to figure out why - i noticed from pictures I took that the lock is DIFFERENT. It was in a different location and facing the other direction than when I had it picked up (confirmed of course its the same pod container). Perhaps they thought the customer would think they have the wrong key and just cut it. Needless to say I'm very disturbed & beyond... Read More
We packed our Pack Rat storage containers/units, three of them, and had no problem with them picking them up in Larkspur, CO. We told them we would be storing our stuff at least a year, probably more, while we travel the nation; then we'd be relocating to the Pacific Northwest sometime in 2021. We were not warned that they had limited delivery in the PNW. Here we are in Eugene, Oregon 22 months after leaving Colorado, and we called to get our three storage containers delivered only to be told they don't deliver here, but we can go unpack the units 130 miles away. Eugene is Oregon's third largest metropolitan area. It is not unreasonable to expect them delivered to our home. We paid $6700... Read More
This company fails to explain the additional costs of storage and fuel surcharge. The original quote will be low but beware of the hidden charges and fees. We have yet to see if they will deliver our pods on time and when we requested.
We used PackRat for moving our household belongs during our recent move from MA to FL. The Good - The pods were delivered intact. - The pods were picked up in a timely manner and on schedule. - The drivers were generally professional and skilled. - It was easy to get a quote and schedule a pod delivery. The Bad - The delivery of the empty pod was delayed by about a day and a half. We were on a tight schedule to get out of our house and this threw a major wrench in our plans. It took us about a week to fully recover our schedule, and probably two to recover the lost sleep from late nights and an all-nighter to adjust for the delayed delivery. - The delivery of the full pod was...

I am currently living a nightmare and I do not know when I will be receiving 1 out 2 containers . We used 1-800-PACK-RAT to move us from Miami to satellite beach Fl in late July . We rented 2, 16 foot containers , filled them with all of our personal belongings and they were suppose to be stored in an storage facility in Orlando Fl, to be brought to our home in satellite beach. I called pack rat 2 weeks before I needed them delivered to be told they needed 10 business days notice to arrange delivery, therefore there would be an additional $650.00 in delivery fees. I paid because I had no other choice. I called again on 8/31, 24 hours before delivery, to request an afternoon time slot and I... Read More
My experience with Pack Rat’s extremely bad customer service We are planning a cross country move and wanted to use a 1-800-Pack-Rat container for moving some of the boxes and possessions conveniently. It was anything but convenient and turned into a nightmare fiasco. I reached out for a quote from Pack Rat on June 24th, two weeks before our move. I got an online quote offering rates for the move from Tucson, AZ to Indiana. I finalized the details on the phone with a sales representative on June 29th and gave them a credit card for the charges. Delivery of the container was set for Friday the 3rd of July and then to be shipped to Indiana. On Friday the 3rd, we waited all... Read More
