    mice/rat urine and feces all over my belongings/the floor/EVERYWHERE
    Elizabeth S.

    SHORT STORY: Paying and letting this establishment destroy my things and paying upwards of about $400 (FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A 10x10 SPACE!) a month for them to do it over the span of four years is my biggest regret. And not a thing, nor a cent, recovered. Not only were all my things CRUSTED ALL OVER in mouse/rat feces and urine - to the point where it wasn't medically safe to enter the unit without a hazmat suit on - but...the manager KNEW ABOUT IT!!! LONGER STORY: I think it's reasonable to trust the management enough to assume my things would be in okay shape for a couple months without stopping by to check. WRONG. Thousands of dollars' worth of keepsakes, furniture, clothing, photos, etc., had been completely doused in mouse urine and covered in feces. The sight and smell were enough to make you start retching violently. Seriously. See the pictures. I called several times over the course of about 10 days to speak with the manager, Carmen, as she wouldn't return any of my phone calls. Finally, when she gets handed the phone, she clearly begins audibly shaking as I explain my concerns. However, she rigidly maintains that I should take care of all this, even when I further explain that I have a medical condition (which I do) that would preclude me from doing any of these onerous tasks (even though a healthy adult would need a hazmat suit and proper equipment to enter the vermin-ridden unit). Also, mind you, all I asked for from Carmen was that our contract be terminated and for a few select items to be cleaned and returned to me - that's it. This is a VERY small ask, considering the incredible amount of damage that went on under her management, and that I could run her into the ground for. When I ask her about how "Every building at Extra Space Storage is treated for pests and rodents each month by Truly Nolen, dedicated pest control experts since 1938" - she pauses for a beat, then asks, "Where did you see that?" I SAW IT ON YOUR WEBSITE!!! Literally, it was right there, under their FAQs. (I believe they've since taken it down.) She wasn't even aware of which pest control company supposedly (I'm assuming doesn't) visit her every month?! Gee, that's telling... clearly, they don't service the facility; the management has never even met them, they've never even HEARD OF THEM! Then, the following exchange occurs (I made sure to get it down, word for word): Carmen: Well, there was another unit in the same area that had the same problem. Me: WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ANYONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT? Carmen: Well, most people don't like to hear about that sort of thing. Me: I DON'T CARE IF SOMEONE DOESN'T LIKE IT! THOSE ARE MY THINGS! Carmen: Well, many people don't have the same opinion as you. Would you want to know if someone's unit near yours was, say, leaking a substance into your unit that would gash your things and chemically burn your skin to the touch? I could bet the money I wasted on this hellhole for four years on the management at this facility never breathing a word about it to you, because you "wouldn't like hearing about it." But, of course, you'd be perfectly happy with all your things being destroyed and wasted away. Right? BOTTOM LINE: Carmen should be fired and only accepted for hire at a woodsy, suburban waste management center where she can make friends with the vermin she meets along her route, or get on the learning track to make a name for herself in Petco's rodent care facilities. As for this Extra Space Storage facility, it should be demolished, burned, whatever needs to be done to eradicate it from this earth. If it ever gets another Carmen, they shouldn't be a Carmen. They should be a diligent, caring owner(s) with a bent toward hospitality and cleanliness. And transparency. And just plain not being a complete, contemptible a*hole to your customers. Prospective customers: Run. Just run. Run, run, run. Again, look at the pictures. Run. This is not a drill. Run!

    Customer service had no comment. Perhaps because it was a mouse. And also because it was dead.

Perhaps I interrupted her break? She seemed really irritated by the one question I asked in response to her asking me if I had any questions, rolling her eyes and mumbling under her breath openly throughout our entire interaction. In the middle of the process of me renting a storage space, she literally ran out of the store to yell at someone that she thought was about to park nearby. I thought about ducking out right then but honestly I was afraid she'd chase me down yelling too. Predictably, when the charges hit my card 2 days later it was a different price than I was quoted by Selam. I returned to the store with my contract and the paperwork printed and signed in that very location showing the discrepancy, only to be told by a large bearded kid behind the desk that he "was only a part-time employee" and that he "couldn't help me." Wild!

Free use of the truck is likely not a genuine offer. I went there on three different occasions in the last couple of weeks, as a new customer seeking to use their van for 90 minutes to move two large items, and each time visited on a weekday when I knew the trucks were unlikely to be in use. Each and every time the front desk put me off for a different reason--i.e., you have your driver license but you don't have the $100 "cash deposit" that's required, or you don't have the "account number" that was issued via email (despite my having government issued ID plus the key to the unit and their having computers at the desk), or it's "too late in the day" at 3 pm to use a van for 90 minutes. I went there again today, very hopeful that I had met every hurdle, and this time they told me there was a charge of $39.95 to use the van for the brief period I needed, plus gas (and whatever incidentals they may impose on top of that). The reason given this time was that 4 days had elapsed beyond my initial 30-day move-in period. I pointed out that I had visited on three different occasions in my initial move-in period, and noted that the deadline and all of these other hurdles to use of the van should have been disclosed upfront, as the deadline hadn't been disclosed earlier and seemed like a trap for the unwary. The man at the Shirlington desk blamed his colleague for being "new" and not knowing to tell me all the van requirements up front. He rarely looked me in the eye from his seated position at the desk, and, knowing that he almost certainly was the one who had trained his "new" colleague, I advised him that I'd rent a van from U-haul instead. He protested that Cubesmart offered a better deal on truck rentals. Floored by this response (after viewing the enormous ads posted everywhere around the facdility that promise use of a free truck), I told him that I'd be moving all of my items out of the Shirlington unit at the end of the month. Unfazed, he advised me that I'd better have moved everything out by my announced move-out date. Shirlington customer service reps need much better training, or CubeSmart needs to change its corporate policies.

So after receiving a few quotes from a handful of businesses, I went with Potomac Moving due to the speed of their response, clarity in communication, pricing and overall warmth and professionalism. In our first phone call to walk though my needs, they were very assuring and accommodating, which is a such a relief in the midst of stress and coordination that comes with planning for a move. They were also always very responsive in the few times that I reached out between the time I paid the deposit and the actual move. A night or two before, I sent at email regarding wardrobe boxes, since I was debating whether or not I should buy and have a few delivered to me. The owner responded quickly, assuring me that wardrobe boxes were tried, true and if I wanted to buy any directly from them that I could. That ended up being a great call, because they were able to properly enforce the boxes so that even the boxes filled with my heaviest coats remained in tact. On the day of the move, the movers were communicative regarding their arrival time. They were also very nice and hard working. I had a few large furniture items that needed to be disassembled and they ended up being quite beasts to tackle. But they worked diligently to break them down. Once it came time to move things to my new place, that was a breeze. One gesture that I thought was just so classy, was the owner called in the middle of the move to check-in on how things were going - I really appreciated that. Overall, would definitely recommend PMC - they're easy to work with, fair and transparent about pricing and you're sure to be met with professionalism!

It was a fair offer. Then I got another written offer that was significantly below what was originally offered to me. The amount that was supposed to be reimbursed to me? Never received. As I unpack more boxes, I'm finding more damage and shoddy packing. I can no longer recommend this company.

Rather than simply taking the additional business, they told me it did not make sense to move everything from the original location into warehouse storage for such a short period because it would unnecessarily increase my costs. That advice was one of the reasons I ultimately decided to use PODS instead.

When I called Karen was awesome and I was so excited for the service. Silly me. I have moved 10 times before this in as many years. This is BY FAR the worst experience I have had. I KNOW how long it takes to move my place. Not only did this take more than TWICE as long with allegedly a whole other person, they brought a fourth unauthorized guy. And still took more than half the time. One guy sat in the truck most of the time, I have pictures, the others didn't start on my kitchen until the end, had to wait for that....later to find out when I went back to the old apartment they hadn't even finished the whole kitchen ...ran over my allotted time at the building I was moving out of, at my cost. And then they ruined my couch. So I paid DOUBLE what I was expecting, which was already more than what was quoted cause I was adding a little buffer, but ended up tipping a whole additional person because I'm not a jerk. The guys were nice but inefficient. Kept saying this is what you get with a higher quality mover, but it was not even a better experience. They were wasteful with the amount of packing supplies they used, never presented or communicated the prices of the materials they were using, which I was told was included anyway but also others I never approved or asked for. Just popped it on me in the end. Oh and then they say "we are going to adjust your time by 15 min you'll see a refund on your card" and two and a half weeks later still waiting for it to even show pending at least. But you better believe the charge was instant. I was debating sharing my feedback but was so mad I finally emailed the company. But no one had even dignified me with not even an automated response, just silence. So I come here to do something I pretty much never do. But that's how annoyed I am. Sorry but would rather recommend. Cheap Movers, way better. I used last move were a thousand times better and a QUARTER of the price. I'm not even cheap but I hate being taken for a fool, and it turned out to be just that. That's what I get what I get for using hourly movers for the first time, never again. A slow work scam, exactly what I was worried about, but like an idiot I bought into the reassurances Karen gave me but they truly let her down. I hope she knows they're having her selling lies.

Everything else was subpar. I reserved three units in advance to store all of my belongings, and since it was highly rated on Google, I didn't think to go to visit. When I arrived with full moving trucks and crew of movers being paid by the hour, I was disappointed to find that SecureSpace was entirely unsuitable to store anything of value. First, it was blazing hot inside. There was no climate control, which made me very concerned about potential damage to electronics. More alarmingly, the single elevator took nearly 10 minutes to ascend three floors to my units (more than one group was trying to use it). Even if I had arrived when they first opened at 9AM, it would have been impossible for me to unload everything before their 6PM closing time, (which are pretty limited hours for a storage facility). I had to come up with an alternative quickly (see my review for Mini U Storage on Swann Ave) and cancel my leases with SecureStorage. Since I never occupied the units and the office staff explained I would see a refund in a few business days, I thought my business with them was over. However, three weeks later, I still hadn't received my money back. I had to go back down there in person, where the staff explained that they had other priorities with their facility, and they hadn't gotten around to their admin tasks yet. This is a wild, but understandable explanation given the condition of their facilities and how convoluted their systems are (it took me more than 10 minutes to sign one lease after going through their biometric signature process!!!). To their credit, they did process the refund after that visit. All said, I am grateful that I didn't end up storing anything there. Also, I think I've solved the mystery of the high Google ratings -- they seem to be under new management, but got to keep the ratings from the old owners and previous condition of the building. Hope this gives a more current idea of what you can expect if you ignore my warning and rent there anyway.
