Beware of PODS delivery

FYI, be careful when buying a POD at a storage auction.  I bought one and decided instead of loading all my treasures into my truck, I would simply have the POD delivered to my house. I got a half price delivery deal, since I bought the POD.  It was delivered on time, right in my driveway.  Only problem was when they entered my delivery address their computer program automatically sent the "owner" an email of where the POD was going (my house).  So, when I pulled into my driveway and was happy to see my POD, I was quickly approached by two large thugs demanding I give them back "their" property. It was a very uncomfortable situation that could have gotten....let's say physical or deadly.  Especially since I found narcotic "stuff", gun "stuff", baggies and scales, bullet proof vests, police uniforms and MANY car radios/cd players etc etc inside the POD.   So, just make sure if you buy a POD and have it delivered they don't inform the owner of your info!! 

Thanks for the heads-up.   That would be a scary situation, no doubt.

That is truley scary! Why in the world would PODS give the former owner your address! I hope you ate their lunch over the phone or in person for such a stupid act!

I suspect it was an automatic email done by the computer.  They scan the POD serial # in, where it's going, etc. for the mainifest.  However, someone didn't take the auto-notify or something like that off and a email was sent.  Sort of like your package delivery notifications.

Yes, I believe it was an "auto generated" email by their computer program. I let the manager have it on the phone. That could have been a lawsuit situation if anything went "wrong."
