The PODS service is fantastic. I have been thoroughly impressed every step of the way. I have had continuity with the same staff over the course of 15 months my stuff was in storage. I also used the moving service and the two men who helped pack up and then unpack my stuff were so lovely, efficient and speedy and always going out of their way to get my furniture where I wanted it to go. Cannot rate highly enough and would use again and recommend for anyone looking to store anything. Thanks again!

Hired a POD as storage during house renovations, delivered promptly and situated directly on the drive which worked perfectly allowing us to renovate the house & store furniture, household goods, but still allowing us easy access to the contents when needed. Highly recommend

Simply amazing. Kind, extremely efficient, fantastically accommodating. Communication was always a pleasure. The staff across the board have been lovely to interact with. I cannot recommend them enough. They made a very difficult move so much easier, and significantly less stressful. 😀🙏🏻😀

PODS have been great, we sold our house in Jan 21 but only took possession of our new home in Dec 21, they kept everything safe and we would recommend using them anytime.
Thanks PODS team.

How on earth did I ever used to move home without the help of Pods?
It makes moving easy, takes the stress away and saves money versus removal companies.
The pod was dropped on the drive on the date requested, picked up as soon as we asked and dropped back at our new property later on allowing a stress free move.
If you’re thinking of moving without pods, think again.
This is one very satisfied customer. Hopefully I won’t be moving again for a while, but when I do……..

I ordered a storage POD for a recent house move, expecting to store my belongings for a month or so - it ended up being 6 months! Fortunately, this caused no problems with PODS and turned out to be the easiest part of my entire house move. I had the POD on my driveway for a week so that we could take our time loading, it worked so well that we did the same when it was delivered to our new home.
Great service from everyone I dealt with and great price too.
Would definitely recommend PODS!

Couldn’t recommend enough, such an easy process from start to finish, staff are great, professional, friendly and polite. We used the pod for storage whilst we had our home renovated over 6 months and it was so convenient having on our drive, being able to load gradually and have access to our belongings as and when we needed them.

We recently used PODS to store home belongings while having building work done in our home. They were professional and helpful throughout. They turned up on time, the removal men were polite, efficient and put everything back where we wanted it. Being able to store the container on-site also helped with costs and meant we could access it whenever we wanted while the building work was being done. We would happily use them again.

Great experience. Convenient with our house move and took the stress away. Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic and cant fault them. We have moved house recently with Pods doing a loading and unloading service. It all started with the initial contact through Diane and Helen who were both really helpful. When it came to the move Alan and his teams took real care with our possession's and property and both addresses. There was no fuss, just turned up when they said they would, was very quick and thorough. I also thought they was good value for money. In this whole process of moving I have come to the conclusion that there aren't many people who actually do what they should, when they should, and do it well, but pods certainly did. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Great idea, where items are stored yet fully accessible when needed, whilst I had my property renovated. Easily organised by phone and email agreement. Pod delivered and collected without me having to be there. The pod was placed on my drive so I could load and unload as needed. Much more convenient than using storage warehouses. Would definitely use again.

Great service, Helen was very helpful in each stage of the process even when my request was to move across the country. The driver was punctual and friendly, swiftly moving a filled container of storage into the new property. Would recommend, thanks!

Reply from BEST Removals & Storage
First class from start to finish. Clear and concise answers whenever a question was asked by me. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again and all who saw the POD agreed it was a great idea. Cheaper than a man with a van and a lot more practical

Reply from BEST Removals & Storage
Simple, fast and flexible service much cheaper than a remomval company. The POD was delivered, collected and move exactly as planned even after a minor delay with getting the keys to the new house which made the move seemless.
Having the POD on the drive for a week after the move allowed us to organise our belongings as they went in allowing us to settle a lot quicker.
We highly recommnend PODS to anyone moving home. `

This was one of the best moves . The staff was helpful, informative and professional. Even though we had 3 different changes to our original move date, they accommodated us each time. The pod was amazing, we loaded up that morning and unloaded over the weekend. Knowing there was a large timescale of pod usage, made it less rushed to place furniture and easier to unpack . One phone call and the pod was returned. Even parking on the road overnight to load up, we cannot recommend PODs enough.

Moving house is the one of the most stressful processes you can experience ,Estate agents ,solicitors ect, ect.I contacted POD's spoke with Helen she convinced me they would deliver a great service. She was good to her word she looked after us fantastically, great communication, did what she said she would in the timescale we agreed. The service was excellent and Helen was always at the end of the phone ,Jordan the driver ho dropped of and collected the POD was soo good. The whole POD concept is fantastic we unpacked the POD all was intact ,I cannot say enough about Helen and her team ,I would not hesitate to recommend this team and would most certainly use them again.

We found this service provided by PODS amazing, we arranged for a 16ft POD for our 3 bed semi and we got 98% of our belongings packed in perfectly but I am sure if packed more professionally then we could have got more in the POD. The operators dropping off and collecting were brilliant and made sure you were 100% happy with the position on the driveway. The office staff have been amazing when arranging a POD delivery and collection, they requested pictures and also measurements to make sure you can have one of the PODS on your driveway before ordering. We also found having a POD prior to moving day and also after moving day made the process of moving house far more manageable packing and removed a lot of stress on moving day. We also found that the costs involved were exceptionally reasonable and if / when we move again we would certainly be using PODS again.
