    I've never rented a storage unit before, and Selam walked me through every single step of the process right when I arrived.

    Have been using CubeSmart for two years with no issues. The staff are great. The prices are not so…read moregreat (they keep increasing each year) but they are inline with competitor prices.

    Bad experience with Cubesmart-Shirlington. Facillity is clean, albeit expensive, but they promise…read more"free" move-in truck as an inducement to rent there. 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.

It was Bookstore Movers' excellent customer service that earns them 5 stars. The 3 movers showed up early and worked very quickly and efficiently. In that haste, some items were damaged and I offered that feedback in the follow-up survey. I quickly received a call from the company offering to discount my move and send Walter Davies, a furniture repair person, out to make furniture repairs. That concern for customers and making things right earns Bookstore Movers 5-star service. Walter Davies was excellent and thorough in repairing my furniture. If you have a move coming up, call Bookstore Movers. Lisa C.

    I moved this past weekend and hired Bookstore Movers for the job. I can honestly say I was blown…read moreaway by the professionalism, efficiency, and expertise of the moving crew. I worked with a different moving company 2 years ago that left me scarred for life with how rude and unprofessional they were. I ended up having to finish the job myself (moving my giant couch up four flights of stairs), so when I knew I was moving again, I did my due diligence and sought out a few quotes. Another company quoted me almost $800 and required a 3 hour minimum for the job!! $800 seemed steep and I knew the job wouldn't take that long... Along came Bookstore Movers who quoted me a reasonable $470 minimum for two hours of work and a maximum of $680 for 3.5 hours of work (price breakdown: $140 per hour with 2 hour min. plus a $190 truck fee). I received a quote within a few hours of requesting it. There was no deposit required and the date was booked. I received detailed emails leading up to the move about FAQs, tips for a seamless move, and the names of my crew including contact info for the crew lead. Abdul (crew lead), Niiwayo "Y.O", and Milly were SO fast and friendly. They wrapped every single item with care in drop cloths and got to moving immediately. Despite the 90 degree heat and a total of five flights of stairs, the job was finished in 2 hours. I was SO impressed. I was so traumatized by my last move that I literally had to walk away while they moved the couch in but before I knew it, I got a text from my boyfriend telling me they had fit it through the door and our living room was all set up. I was so relieved and happy to work with them. If and when we move again, (hopefully not anytime soon, lol), I will 100% be contacting Bookstore Movers... and you should too!

    I was in the U-Store at 5829 Seminary rd in Falls Church,Virginia yesterday. I was with a friend…read morewho was looking to rent a unit. Upon arriving there was a person ahead of us. So we had to wait a bit. We sat in the rented Uhaul waiting for about ten minutes. When we went back into the store front the lady at the desk proceeded to show us the unit that was available. As we went through the side door and proceeded to walk, with her leading the way, she suddenly started putting down the company because, apparently yesterday was the first day the company was switching to "no cash transactions". She was very angry and threw her hands up and said mean things about the company. Neither of us said I'd a word during her rant. But, then she looked at me and realized that I was wearing a mask. OMG!! She lost it. "What you got that mask on for", she asked. I replied, "to protect myself". Well she didn't like that answer and she started ranting on in a very aggressive and threatening manner about what my beliefs were. She said that I believe all the those bitches and MF's in the White House. She went on to call the names of, Nancy Palosi and president Biden and referred to all those white devils in congress feed us all the lies about Covid. She went on to exclaim how stupid I was for believing that shit. Those are her words not mine. She literally attacked me for m beliefs. She ranted with such aggressiveness that both of us were speechless. She used so much foul language. It was beyond unprofessional. It was worthy of a street fight. She did not stop with the insults until she opened the unit to show us what it looked like. Needless to say we did not rent a unit there. We went to another company all together. I would never recommend anyone going there. In fact, I can't imagine why she would have a position dealing with the public period. It was a very horrible experience. I'll definitely be spreading the word to all that will listen.

    The public storage experience was amazing. I purchased our unit last week and due to unforeseen…read morethings our shipment wasn't able to arrive until this week. I stopped by the unit this morning to give it a look before our shippers arrived. The first thing that stood out to me was that the automated process through the app was amazing! I made a few simple setup requirements and wallah when I pulled up I was able to open the gate and door with the push of a button. I pulled through and pulled up the map they gave me. They had a blue tie on the unit to keep folks out and already had my locks and what not waiting for me. I gathered my things and left so that I could meet my shippers. I forgot to lock the unit and although nothing was in it they reached out to me to make sure it was me that had visited the unit. They even placed another blue lock on it so no one would bother it until we returned. Upon returning the process was efficient and the movers were able to drive in and out. Public Storage in Arlington is 5 star. The ventilation was great and the service was even better.

    Used to be pretty great and now it's meh/good and very expensive. I'm going to break down the good…read moreand the bad and everything in between by categories. PRICING First got a unit here right towards the beginning of pandemic. Prices were very reasonable. I think we paid around $120-130 a month for our particular unit size. Having emptied our unit and closed our account last month, our bill for the same unit had gone up to around $330 a month. Absolutely ridiculous. No justification was ever given for the repeated price hikes but at this point the pricing is outrageous. If you threaten to leave you might get a temporary price break but honestly, the amount by which the price has more than doubled in four years is extreme. SERVICE When we first got our unit there if you had an issue and called their number you'd reach someone at the office and with their call ID system they immediately knew it was you calling. It was great. Now it's the phone tree from hell and nobody ever picks up the phone live. Leave enough messages and maybe someone will call you back eventually. Also, the hours posted online correspond to the facility, not the office, and the office doesn't really follow reliable hours. Went there in the middle of a Sunday, when it always used to be open, and there was nobody there. FACILITY I appreciate they seem to have taken measures to make it more secure. At one point during our tenure there they seem to have had a troubling situation with one employee, and some locks that were un-secured, but now it's pretty straight forward and you take your lock with you when you're done. I also like that it's moved from a simple code - which anyone could get - to a bluetooth via app based system that only works if you're logged into your account via the app. It might be a little slower to open gates but at least in theory it's harder for people without an account to gain access to the facility. There are plenty of carts to use for hauling stuff and the elevators and hallways are easy enough to navigate, though it may take you a visit or two to get your full bearings depending on where your unit is. Sometimes the parking situation inside gets iffy, but I was never not able to get done what I needed to. They also seem to be taking their climate control more seriously. When we first started there if you went in the summer you'd have a hard time understanding what exactly was climate controlled about the place because it was so hot and humid. Now the temperature seems very well regulated. I did find a very small amount of rodent droppings in my unit, but I assume that's standard in most storage places, and none of my items appeared damaged. OVERALL What holds me back from recommending this facility are the pricing and the seemingly inaccessible customer service. I can't justify the massive price increases and pairing that with an impossible to reach main office. If they were to address these things, the facility is otherwise fine for its purposes.
