This review is not about the company, Extra Space. It's about the local management.
The relationship got off to a decent start. I believe we were their first customer (or close to) after opening. We had an arrangement for deliveries where during business hours they would give the key to the driver and give them access. There were issues that we tolerated in the beginning as we were dealing with construction at the new location. Later on, the issues expanded beyond construction. La'Mon Williams, the site manager often was not there or was otherwise unavailable during business hours. At least 6 times deliveries worth over 5k in merchandise were just left in the garage. Some of that blame goes to the delivery company but all of these deliveries happened during business hours. La'Mon didn't hold up his end of the deal (Concierge service during business hours). Later in the process, La'Mon hired an assistant. Then we had another delivery left in the garage. La'Mon later explained that was because he and his assistant went out to lunch . . . together. One of my employees left a negative review on this site and La'Mon complained to her that she shouldn't have left the review because the contract wasn't in her name. He was fine when another employee left a positive review and the contract wasn't in her name. He later complained to us about this employee saying that he was tired of her complaining to him about the shipments being left in the garage. He said that he didn't want to talk to her anymore. He said she had a speech impediment (She has a South Philly accent). He gave her the concierge key back and told her that if another shipment comes that he will just tell the driver to leave it outside. We just canceled the contract.
We have four other Extra Space Locations with no issues at all:
- 2 in Houston, TX
- 1 in Sunland-Tujunga, CA
- 1 in Gardenia, CA
We just moved our Philly location to the Northeast on the Blvd. So far the experience has been good there. Too soon for a review though. read more
