This company is awful and they will take your money without providing a service at all. Then when try to receive a refund they will send you on a wild goose chase yielding zero results. They charged my account prior the service being provided, as explained to me, then never sent a truck from their company. Somehow another company showed up at the right time but zippyshell/1800packrat were the ones who got paid. Now I cant get my money back short of disputing the charge and filing a claim in court. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

When I arrived @ my storage unit in ******, ** I was told by the movers, who r College Hunks, that the contents of my storage unit would not fit in2 the pod that was sent by Zippy Shell.

TLDR: They never showed up the day of our scheduled move, and offered not help or solution.Just wanted to drop a note in here incase it helps someone else out down the road. Not normally a big reviewer, but we had such a terrible experience I hope my review might save someone else avoid the headache.I booked a moving container and movers 4+ months in advance. I called two weeks ahead of the scheduled moving date to confirm arrival time, reservation etc., I was told everything was good to go.Day of the move they never showed ... read more

This company SUCKS! Cant reach anybody to help and when you finally get ahold of someone they dont know anything. They lost my pod. It took three days past the day it was supposed to be delivered. They expect you yo put your life on hold until they figure it out. I hate this company. They dont keep their promises of what time to pick up or deliver. You are expected to wait and wait and wait day after day. My advice go somewhere else.

1-800-PACK-RAT Worst container service out there. Do yourself a favor and pay a few extra dollars and use PODS ********************************************** Pack Rat has a recording of a phone call about the date they were supposed to pick up my unit, they picked it up a day early meaning, I could not load the last of my stuff in it mostly my refrigerator. I left a 1year old whirlpool, $2999, in the house I sold because they picked up my source of moving it. They take responsibility, say they are sorry and want to give me a... read more

We requested next day pick-up of our shipping container to make sure it arrived in *********** by a certain date. We were told they would pick-up the next morning, but then got no confirmation call the day before. We tried to call and confirm morning pick-up and were told (after we already had the shipping container in our driveway) that the delivery window was ALL day and they could come any time from 9am to 10pm, but we would get a call an hour before pick-up. After waiting all day for them to show up we finally called to ... read more

Avoid Packrat containers moving company. Move will not occur without delays, extra costs and extraordinary wait times (45 min per phone call). They were the middle priced one (zippy line(same company), pods) , and (drop off, pick up, delivery and empty pick up) dates were arranged one month out. All phone calls are routed through very nice people at home in the south with no information. They even say that they have warehouse manager contact info and nothing else. Secondary phones are not called. Calls are unidentifiable and... read more

I recently had the misfortune of hiring 1800-PackRat for my move, and I cannot stress enough how appalling their service was. From start to finish, they managed to make what should have been a simple moving process an absolute nightmare. I implore anyone considering their services to look elsewhere, as 1800-PackRat is a prime example of how not to run a moving company.First and foremost, their customer service was abysmal. Whenever I called with inquiries or concerns, I was met with rude and unhelpful representatives who see... read more

Don't call them! Their prices are on the high end, they won't deliver or pick up on time, they don't communicate with you when they fail to deliver/pickup (no call, no email), and the compensation they offer per day of failed service is paltry compared to the cost ($50/day compared to a $4K total cost). Expect multiple day delays on each drop-off, pick up, travel across country, drop off at new location, and final pickup. They promise certain days when you place the order, but they do not honor them.Other stuff. 1. Be aware ... read more
