CRDN was used to store my household items for about a 6 month timeline after my house was flooded due to a pipe break while i was out of town.
When moving my items, they ended up losing all my important personal documents (i.e, social security card, passport, and birth certificate). After moving back into my house and realizing these items were missing, I was told that they had put them in an open box (supposedly marked personal documents) and that the box was left in the house after everything else was moved out. No one, including the contractors working on the house, was told of this box. Keep in mind, the house was unhabitable at this point and was often left unlocked with contractors going back and forth. I suspect one of the contractors saw what looked like an empty box and it was tossed along with the rest of my loss items.
When it became very apparent these documents were lost and CRDN even admitted it was the fault of their crew that no one was aware of the box (i was sent a picture of a non-descript open box as evidence it was there, attached), I asked for CRDN to cover the cost of replacing the documents, including expedite as I was due to travel out of the country in the coming months and needed my passport (which requires an original birth certificate to replace of course). CRDN refused to cover any of the cost of the document replacements. The staff member I talked with said that she would have the CEO call me to explain, which never happened, even after I followed-up.
I found this whole situation with my lost documents very unprofessional. I understand they didn't want to store them due to liability reasons, but I do not see how it is any better to leave them in an unsecured house in an open box, without letting anyone know and then refuse to cover replacement costs when those unsecured documents inevitably are lost.
I gave them two stars instead of one because for the most part, my items were returned. However, there was also damage to a couple of sentimental furniture items (a part of a leg missing from a antique round table gifted to me from the wife of a very good friend who passed from ALS, and a piano that had minor damage after it was dropped while it was moving). They did fix both items satisfactorily, although it took many months from when the damage was noticed. There were also a few items that they had not rejected (allowing me to get compensation from insurance as a loss) but were very obviously water damaged.
Needless to say, I was not particularly happy with the service received from CRDN. I will say the staff members who I talked with during the process were very kind and tried to be helpful as they could. read more
