Ask whether it moves you under MC450502
Pods can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC450502. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask about the 1 out-of-service order
1 of Pods's 3 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (33.3%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Grandview at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,742 – $7,656. A surveyed, written estimate from Pods far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
