1-800-PACK-RAT Omdömen 1 417

PackRat was great, everything went smooth, drivers were really nice and went beyond the call of duty. Thank you

Very easy! Delivery and pick up were prompt and efficient, the driver was great. Rates were fair.

Really great customer service. They guys that dropped and picked the dumpster were great and very friendly. Overall wonderful experience.

The man I dealt with was great! I cannot remember his name but he is very nice

They did not show up or call. What worse is that they claimed to have called when I tried to find out why they didn't show and then the story changed and they said they actually ran out of moving containers. Stay away!

Pack-rat did not ship my daughters pod when it said it would. We set everything up and had the move planned perfectly. Her moving account on line showed everything was good, no money was owed etc. no one from the company ever reached out and left a message that there was a problem. They moved across country only to find their Pod still in Ohio weeks later! After calling and trying to deal with customer service their pod was finally shipped. Then, after waiting another week or so, they found out that the Pod was now sitting at a destination in Seattle and could not be delivered for 3 more weeks. DO NOT use this company. My daughter paid over $4,000 and with all of the issues and back and forth the company offered them $100 in restitution when all of their shipping costs should have been refunded!
Their customer service is non existent! Looking back we should have never used them. There are hundreds of complaints with the BBB and they are NOT BBB accredited.

We should have known better: do business with a Rat?

Eight weeks and counting. EIGHT WEEKS! and still no household goods delivered to our new home. In good faith, we agreed to have Pack-Rat shepherd the contents of our lives almost 2,700 miles from the Pacific Northwest to East Texas.

Business with Rats? Really?

Containers were delivered to our home north of Seattle (three hours-plus from the Puyallup facility) promptly and exactly when promised. After three units had been filled and taken to the warehouse, we had to change our move destination to East Texas. While packing container #4, we were informed that they don’t deliver that far from their facility (even though it’s only about five miles farther than our Coupeville, Wash., home is from Puyallup). Another one of their bogus tactics to wear us down and finally give up.

“We can maybe find a Walmart 50 miles from your house that will let you use their parking lot. We can park the containers there while you unload, reload, then take everything to your home 50 miles away, and unload it again.” Now that IS generous! All that AND possibly a trip to the ER for heatstroke while packing/unpacking on 120-degree asphalt. But sadly, even that tempting offer doesn’t pan out.

Only two weeks before our Texas house deal was to close, we found ourselves upstream without a paddle. What was our recourse? Have all of the containers --six at this point—brought back to our home, unloaded, and then -- what?

Pack-Rat prides itself on having excellent customer service. Well, it does…if that service means employing delay tactics and deflecting responsibility—and when you can get someone besides an operator on the line. “The manager in Dallas makes allllll those decisions. We in corporate can’t do anything about it.” Sound familiar?

Finally two weeks ago, someone from corporate called to say they would try to deliver the pods to our home. And by the way, our case was now to be overseen by Mr. Biggs (Not kidding!) They would be in touch very soon. Well, no. There have been no calls/emails/texts from Mr. Biggs or anyone else. More delays. In the meantime, we have been paying rent for storage at their warehouse, not because we couldn’t take delivery, but because they wouldn’t deliver!

This company needs to be held accountable for their unconscionable treatment of their customers, and mafioso business practices. We can’t decide if they are inept, greedy, or both. Perhaps the legal system will decide.

So, if you still want to use the Rats, just remember: you’ve been warned. Good luck to our fellow movers!

Communication is non-existent. There's no telling how much you'll actually have to pay because they'll just charge you whatever they want for the surcharge, which seems like thievery. When they schedule to return your pod, they don't give you a time so you can't plan to have anyone help you unload it. It's 10 pm and it's not here yet and despite 3 calls, there's no information to be given. Day 2, same experience. Incredibly unhelpful with no effort to even try to get answers. They also appear to respond to complaints and bad reviews online ONLY BECAUSE IT'S PUBLIC! Curious to see if that gets you sent further at all, but I highly doubt it. See how it goes when you simply try to call them for answers. I'm going to file a complaint with the DOJ in North Carolina and suggest everyone that has the same experience to do the same. This company shouldn't be allowed to operate this way and it should be investigated for poor business practices. So they have our stuff with no evidence that they'll actually deliver it to us, so they've essentially robbed us of our possessions and charged us thousands to do so. YOU'LL SEE A REPLY BELOW, BUT DON'T FALL FOR IT. THEY'VE REPLIED TO A FEW OF MY OTHER REVIEWS WITH THE SAME STATEMENT ASKING FOR ORDER NUMBERS ETC. I'VE ANSWERED EVERY TIME AND THEY HAVE NOT FOLLOWED UP ONCE. NO ONE HAS EVER CONTACTED US ABOUT THE ISSUE.

Container was dropped off, picked up, delivered and removed when they said they would. They were all very friendly. It was the easiest part of our move. I highly recommend.

We utilized 1-800-Pack-Rat for our long distance move. Customer service was great setting it up. For the initial delivery of our empty trailer we were contacted in advance by the driver letting us know when he would be by. The same drive was great picking it up. That's where everything good stopped. We had a delivery date of our full trailer for June 18th. Since no one called us in the morning on the `18th we called and they told us it would be delivered between 3:30 and 7:45pm. No one called. No one showed up. When they missed the window I called customer service again and was told they were not coming by. I was pissed and still am as this is ridiculous and unacceptable. Ethan would not give any confirmation that he would be able to get a hold of the facility or promise any delivery date or time. He certainly did not mention they the following day a Sunday they don't even deliver. I found that out calling today the 19th the facilities were closed and they could send an email and they would put me down for a Monday morning delivery. I have wasted my entire weekend over this and now have to take time off work to unload a trailer during the week that was supposed to be here for me to do this weekend. No part of this is acceptable.

I would have given a rating of 5 stars except for delays in pickup and drop off ! One time we were told our pickup of our full canister would be between 8:00 pm - 12:00 midnight we know there can be truck or employee problems, but I know there won't be a pickup that late at night and in the dark. I just would say be more careful and don't say times without being sure. Just try to meet the times you give to buyers a little better. Thank you

We used Pack Rat for nearly 2 years. I had excellent rapport with a customer service advisor, Chris who helped me regularly through our time there.
Prices increased 3x during our 2 years. What I found out when I had my PackRat POD delivered was that even though it was 28 days prior to my next payment and just 3 days after the last payment, I would get nothing prorated or refunded back. I paid $279 monthly and the final month with PackRat, including monthly, I paid out almost $700 to them. It was absurd. When questioned, I was just told "it's fees"

Even though we had good experience with them, I would not use them again due to this.

Excellent service, workmen that delivered the pods were great, very patient and helpful.

Good prices, good quality container, Fantastic customer service.
If I ever need a container again, I will call Packrat.

Excellent service

The service at both ends of our cross-country move was excellent. The drivers showed up on time and worked quickly and diligiently.

Made things super easy for my across state move. I've moved twice and a third time is likely coming in a few years....will definitely use 1800 pack rat again.

Great product and service. Competitive pricing as well. Very pleased.

All in all it was a good experience. At first I thought is was expensive but by comparison the cost was not higher than other methods. They tried to give us a fuel surcharge that was not discussed and with a phone call we were able to resolve it.
