Rat infested pods--total loss--denied insurance claim I had a storage pod for >10 years paid for insurance for every month. When I retrieved it, it was a mess—spilled out of the pod when opened and everything was covered with rat urine and feces. SmartBox denied my claim. They falsely stated that: • the pod wasn’t packed properly; and • no gross negligence on SmartBox’s part. The pod was indeed packed properly. The pod clearly appeared to have been flipped. Perhaps during one of the dozen or so times it had been moved around the DC Maryland Virginia area over the 12 years in their care. And rat urine and feces is gross by any definition of the word—both “excessive” negligence on SmartBox’s part and “disgusting.”

Not what i expected The concept is great. But. The driver who dropped off my boxes gouged huge scars in my driveway by dragging the boxes into place instead of picking up and moving them with the forklift. And he didn't check to make sure the hardware would actually close and lock. So after a 14-hour day of moving, I had to leave the boxes unsecured on a Friday night because everything was an inch and a half off. To their credit, two guys came out the next morning to move the hardware so I could lock the boxes. They took photos of the damage to my driveway, but I've never heard back about repairs, a discount, nuttin'. The boxes are locally made, and the Dallas franchise is relatively new. I'm betting they'll get better and building and handling them. Make sure the boxes actually close and lock correctly before you let the delivery guy drive away.

Lower price - Lower quality I did find smart box to be less expensive thancompetitors, but also the storage boxes were in pretty sorry shape. They has very limited tie downs inside and several of the boxes has broken wood around the hinges or warped doors that the were extremely hard to close and secure. I was concerned about rain getting inside as well. Our goods did make it to Florida without damage however.

No Show I ordered boxes down for this morning, and they weren't there. I confirmed the date and time of access with the agent a few days earlier, yet no one at the facility, no one answering the local or national numbers. No one called back. I even tried online chat which tells me "someone will be with you momentarily." A lie. I was told the facility would be open from 9:30 am until 3:30 pm today, yet after being there for an hour, no one was ever there. I am now concerned with their viability.

Right campus, wrong buiding They did not deliver our college daughter's box to here dorm. Since they delivered to some dorm on the same campus, they claimed they met service. They also had no information available on the delivery day to indicate this misdelivery. They asked a few questions about lot numbers and addresses on campus but never replied to BBB inquiries (they are a failure on BBB also). So, if you like a scavenger hunt to find your box, and still feel good about paying full boat, this may work for you
