Overall Rating: 4 / 5 (Excellent)

1-800-PACK-RAT is an excellent storage solution for families, individuals, or businesses planning a short or long-distance move. The company's storage containers are all-steel and waterproof, and their patented chamber door technology even allows the unit to be used as an ozone chamber to treat smoke and water-damaged items. Although the company is neither a full-service nor a self-service storage provider, their generous offer and excellent additional benefits more than make up for what they lack. 1-800-PACK-RAT seems truly committed to providing outstanding customer support and helpful resources, even going as far as connecting customers with local moving crews through HireAHelper.

1-800-PACK-RAT Services

Services - 4.5 / 5

1-800-PACK-RAT provides all-steel, waterproof moving and storage containers in three sizes: 8, 12, and 16 feet. Although they don't quite offer full-service storage, they do transport their storage containers to their customer's location, allowing them to pack and load their belongings at their convenience. Once the customer is ready, the company either delivers the container to its new location or stores it in one of their numerous secure storage facilities until the client is prepared to receive it. 1-800-PACK-RAT's coverage area is extensive and their services include short and long-distance relocations as well as environmental restoration and remediation through their patented chamber door technology, which converts standard storage containers into ozone chambers that treat smoke and water damage.

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
