A1 Storage

Great customer service by Paolo. This is a very clean well maintained establishment . I have rented 2 units from this place .

Came here with the help Pinky ,Levi , very friendly and nice staff. The location is convenient and right next to UHaul. The process is very quick and straightforward. Recommended this location.

Walking through the well-lit facility. (Only pic I have)

Love this clean, safe storage facility. The people are kind and upfront about the charges. There is a restroom on site, I haven't seen another storage facility that has that available. Awesome! The provided carts, sturdy elevators, and parking spots all made moving items in and out a breeze.

The entrance

Reasonable price, but be sure to call to make an appointment before you go there. They are appointments only

Really competitive pricing on furniture cover/bags. Even Amazon offers these for twice as much.
Joanna A.

These guys have incredible service! I just got assisted by Chris renting out a storage unit and this is by far one of the best customer experiences I've had (of all time) Chris was really quick and thorough in explaining the rental process, he showed me my unit, showed me how to put the lock on (offered me a free one with yelp check in) and even offered to hold a spare key for my friend to pick up at a later time. I was in the office while Grace was on the phone and I noticed the amazing customer service she was offering to the customer on the phone too. She seems extraordinarily warm and kind in such a rare way. I'm so happy with this service (and I can even compare it to bigger ,pushy :(, storage facilities I've rented with) Plus, they have really competitive pricing on furniture covers (no need for amazon!)

We were very satisfied with the facility. Since we used the facility for less than a month, it was free. We only had to pay for some fees!

Without realizing it, my passport had expired, so my dad recommended that I get it renewed at…read morePostal Etc. My parents always came here for their passport and visa needs, and the manager Connie Ngo took excellent care of them. When I called to confirm if she was still doing passports, Connie was very pleasant on the phone. She gave me a few pointers on what to wear. Since the background of the photo will be white, she suggested that I wear something colorful so my photo won't look washed out. She also mentioned that she accepted cash, checks, and money orders. Credit cards were also accepted, but there was a 3% surcharge. It was nice that she told me this information upfront, because I typically do no carry a lot of cash and I certainly do not bring my checkbook with me when I go out. I would have incurred a 3% surcharge on my credit card had she not disclosed this information upfront. Upon arrival, Connie warmly greeted me and gave me a form to complete for my passport renewal, then proceeded to take my photo. After that, she verified my form was completed and asked if I will be getting a passport book only, or passport with a passport card (government ID). She explained the benefits of getting this ID card, so I decided to get it for $45 extra. She also explained that in 8-11 weeks, I will receive 3 separate items in the mail: my old passport with holes punched it to make it invalid, my new passport book, and my passport ID card. I made out 2 checks: US Dept of State: $160 (passport book & passport ID card) Postal Etc: $65.06 (service fee, including passport photos) Connie mentioned that if I travel to countries that require a visa, she can help get that prepared and she can be a resource to confirm if a country needs a visa. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience. I came at a busy time and Connie was basically running the show herself. She had a high school kid help out, but he was practically useless. She had to give him orders on the simplest of tasks, but he still wasn't able to do it right, so she had to step in. If you come and don't get Connie's undivided attention, have patience. She's doing her best to tend to all customers and keep things moving. She's a direct and no-nonsense kind of lady, and this attitude may come off as rude, but I didn't find her rude. There was a customer who was pumping the liquid hand sanitizer and made a mess on her counter, so she told him "it's liquid, not gel, so take it easy on the pumping and don't leave a mess." Despite the busy crowd, the service was quick. Including driving time to and from the store, I was done within my 1 hour lunch break. This store has all kinds of other services, including mailbox rentals, prints, scans, copies, fax, money orders, mail services, mailing supplies, custom packaging, notary, keys, greeting cards, snacks, etc. There are plenty of parking spaces in the shopping center, with reserved spots specifically for this store.

She told me she couldn't scan the QR code from my phone and told me to get a different label and print it. Took me over to the printer and took my phone from me to "help me print it". She stuck it on and then proceeds to tell me I have to pay. I was very confused because I've never had to pay at one of these postal places. She never told me I had to pay for the printing and pay for dropping here. She also refused to give me a receipt. Overall horrible experience and rude woman here. She seems like a real dishonest scam artist.

Peter was warm, welcoming, and professional from our very first consultation. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything, ensuring complete transparency throughout the process with no surprise fees. He was also incredibly patient and understanding regarding the moving situation we were dealing with, which helped ease a lot of our stress. We were especially grateful for the excellent availability--Peter was able to arrange a moving team for us on short notice. On moving day, the three movers who assisted us were polite, courteous, and respectful. They handled our belongings with care and took extra precautions when shrink-wrapping our furniture to ensure everything was properly protected during the move. Even in the truck, items were secured tight to ensure a safe travel to our destination Overall, the entire experience--from the initial consultation to the final box being moved--was smooth, professional, and pleasant. I highly recommend Packing Bees to anyone, especially first-time movers looking for a reliable company and a stress-free moving experience. Thank you to Peter, the moving team and Packing Bees for making our move such a positive one!

If you need storage for the summer, call early because they fill fast. Luckily, I started calling around several weeks before end-of-school and was able to the get the size I wanted. They have an elevator with carts for units on the second floor. Front office staff is friendly (constantly offered us water bottles even though we never took advantage, we appreciated the gesture). Once you have your unit and key, easy access by gate code during open hours so mostly self-service. With a student in the area for a few more years, it's nice to know we have this option for another move when needed.

We signed up today; staff (Ms LaShonda) was a true professional. No upsell, no BS, just friendly…read morecustomer service. I told LaShonda what I needed and she was quick with some general questions to better understand my needs. She drove myself and my daughter to the unit while continuing with details. Very informative but also efficient. My 7 year old was with me and I appreciate LaShonda patience the entire time. We ended renting a 10x10 but I also asked for a bottom unit. Lashonda was quick to look up availability and found some potential move out units near my expected move in date. The entire transaction was approximately 45 minutes but it felt faster. Happy we stopped by and the reviews from Yelp certainly lived up to its expectations. I will update after we move in our stuff.
