32163 zip code Beware Pods!
Well folks, called the corporate office today. Here is how the situation turned out much to my dissatisfaction. Ocala facility will deliver my pod but there is an additional charge. 32163 zip code is outside their normal delivery area (they actually told the customer rep. that I spoke to that it would be a 2 1/2 hr. trip down so 5 hrs. Both ways!) They stated that the original quote was based on information that I gave them, which was inaccurate (gave them 32162 area code.) I went round and round with them on this, but in the end there was really no choice. I am not renting a truck, going to Ocala and unpacking the pod, packing it all into a truck, and unpacking it at my house. So I will pay the extra money. The original charge was 86.00. Now it is 265.00 with tax. In the end, I asked them to at least look into the business practices of the Ocala facility ( 5 hours, right!) they wouldn't even give me the satisfaction of agreeing to do that again stating that it was my fault for providing an incorrect zip code ( which I don't even remember if I provided, or if they looked it up.) Anyhow, it's over and I'm moving to The Villages soon! Yay!
