PODS Named No. 1 Mobile-Storage Container Company in US by ‘Forbes’

PODS Enterprises LLC, a provider of portable-storage and moving solutions, has been recognized by “Forbes” magazine as the No. 1 moving-container company in the United States this year. In addition, it was featured in the publication’s 2021 list of the best moving companies overall, according to a press release.

PODS received 4.8 out of five stars for overall customer satisfaction and availability of containers across Canada and the U.S. It was also recognized for offering the most flexibility on delivery dates and container sizes, as well as for providing customers unlimited time to load and unload their containers, the release stated.

To determine company rankings, the Forbes Advisor editorial team analyzed third-party data on 70 national and international moving companies. A variety of metrics were considered, including nationwide availability, deposits, customer happiness, protection and insurance offered, and convenient storage options.
