I had a large unit when I moved out of state. We finally went back to FL to empty it. It took…read morelonger than we thought so we swapped it out for the smallest size at $70/month from the original $200+. Two months later they raised the price. Then they kept raising It bi monthly and it is now at $200/month. Which is the same as the original larger size that we had. Which was the size of a large bedroom. This one is the size of a small closet. We have called and they told us it's dynamic pricing and all storage companies do it. And then, "Our rent goes up too". Well it's not an apartment and rents don't usually go up that quickly. It is usually yearly or bi yearly. I hate dynamic pricing. Airlines do it also. My job even does it once and awhile and I find it embarrassing when I have to explain it to customers. IMO if you are doing well why raise prices? It's not like they are raising our salaries when they do well. I was going to keep it longer at the $70 price even though it is still a waste of money. But $200?? Now I have to fly down there and close it up. My bad for not planning better the first time but my Dad was dying and we were more focused on that. But I recommend not getting storage lockers if you can help it.

We rented for three years from Big Jim's, Lakewood Ranch in hope of making Florida our home. We…read morenever did move so decided to donate items. I originally went to unit on 5/7 and talked to Gracie, she said Sharon will be back on Monday 5/11 and will call me. I didn't hear from her so on Monday around noon I called her. Sharon (Manager) SAID NO ONE TAKES BEDS AND THERE IS A 350.00 DUMPING FEE. She wanted me to sign abandoned paperwork on the unit. Guess what I found a Charity and they came and took everything on 5/19. My billing went from 5/15-6/14, and they charged me my monthly rate of 158.00.(3 days) Over 3 years Big Jims has made a small fortune off of us $5688.00. but still took their 158.00. I tried reaching out to their Corporate office listed in SARASOTA FLORIDA, 941) 379-8470 (Primary Corporate & Sarasota Line) phone number disconnected. Good Luck people, Shame on Big Jims!

This place is ridiculous. I showed up with a truck load to put in my new unit and was turned away…read morebecause the power was out? This is an outdoor access garage that requires no power. There's a guy in the office waving to us who won't come to the door. If they don't have a bypass on that gate for when the electric goes out then they are idiots. This is Florida and the wind knocks the electric out all the time so I have to rent a truck on a different day and pay more money? I took today off and I have to be out of my apt Sunday and could be charged more money if I'm not. In other words these people are costing me hundreds of dollars. Don't rent here they hold your stuff hostage for ridiculous reasons. There is zero reason that I could not access my unit today. I called the corporate office and they were not helpful.

I will be renting an additional unit soon!

My sister in-law was visiting me at the time. She has had bad experiences with movers in her past. When Palermo movers came, it was like watching a performance in VegasThe men ran around my couches using their large packing tape and just made it feel fun watching them. They did a great job packing up and loading my furniture in a pod truck, preparing for my move. The employees were responsible, fun loving and extremely competent. Their price was fair. Overall this was a great experience, the last thing I expected I would use them without any hesitation, again‼

Susan, the office manager, was most pleasant and accommodating to deal with.

The manager, Robert, was incredibly patient, kind, and helpful during the process, taking the time to explain every detail to ensure I was comfortable with the changes.

I'm beyond grateful I took his advice, especially after losing many of my belongings in the past hurricane. Thank you, Robert & Storage King USA for making this transition a positive and reassuring experience! (Thank you storage king for bringing Robert on board as the past employee was far from pleasant or professional. You have a gem working for you, genuinely a great employee). Looking forward to many years with this company. 5 Stars !
