I had a very disappointing experience when contacting this facility to ask about pricing and unit…read moredetails. As a first-time renter and someone who is not local, I was calling to get information about short-term storage for my child's summer dorm move-out. Unfortunately, the property manager I spoke with was impatient and dismissive throughout the conversation, repeatedly saying "oh my God" in a way that felt disrespectful. The call lasted less than 10 minutes, yet I was made to feel like my questions were an inconvenience. To make matters worse, I was quoted a higher price for the same size unit than what was advertised on the website, and I was told that no written or formal confirmation of the total price was available. Because of the poor customer service and lack of transparency, I decided not to move forward. If this is the experience at the inquiry stage, it's hard to feel confident trusting this facility with my belongings.

How this place has anything above one star is beyond me. After 3 months they doubled my rate on a…read more3x5 closet space. They said they notified me which they never did. So if you were ever late for rent they will call you as a very next day and harass you. Rent is due on the 1st I got to call on the 2nd. When I moved in I was asked for a emergency contact number which I knew was unnecessary but they insisted. I gave them a non-working number. Thank God because if I had given them an actual number they would have been harassing my relative as well. This is a shady organization stay away you have many other options for storage unit.

I'm paying double what I agreed to pay when I first moved in and that's AFTER talking my way down (which by the way they'll absolutely do, despite what they say, if you just get aggressive enough). The district managers are complete cowards about it and are so desperate not to get on the phone because they know it's indefensible. Also in the year I've been there, minus the day I moved in I have never once: - Actually had anyone at the physical location answer the phone - Seen anyone physically in the office - Seen anyone who works there actually doing anything that needs to be done - Showed up and found the handcarts where they're supposed to be and not just scattered all around the facility - Opened my unit and not found things randomly knocked over (don't have a clue what goes on there all day but it's enough to damage your stuff) - And the manager, to this day, has never said a single word to me about the month I spent chasing them over the first rent increase (partially because he's never actually on site and partially because he's a coward) Do not rent with these people under any circumstances. This is the least clever grift anyone could have come up with.

I just have to say that Anthony from Prime Storage in Somerville, MA, treated us like a friend. There was no way we were going to get there in time on the last night, and with a 5am flight the next day, we couldn't have made it then either. I called and Anthony was really understanding. We were not very late by the time we arrived, but late is late, and a lot of people would have not waited. That whole chaotic time period was so stressful and I can't say how much we appreciated that Anthony helped us out! We got a pretty large unit and it was clean. The area was very convenient for our needs. We'd go back again if we ever need another unit.

(Focus specializes in piano moving, and I needed my childhood piano + a few other miscellaneous items transported from Massachusetts to New York.) Owner Liviu responded to my initial quote query (which was competitive) nearly immediately and within the hour confirmed he'd be able to meet my timing needs, despite the holiday season. Furthermore, though I provided a 5-6 day window, he offered to complete the move on MY ideal date. Sweet. What was great about the move itself? My mom indicated that Liviu and his right hand man showed up at her home at the exact appointed hour and that they carefully packed and protected all of the items that were to be trucked. In fact she let me know that Liviu and crew "were the best movers" she'd ever used and that she'd be using them for her own upcoming entire-home move. A bold statement, considering she's moved a LOT. Liviu was also a fab communicator. He kept me informed of his whereabouts via text message, sent email reminders and arrived on time at my delivery location as well. Additionally, Focus stuck to its quote (and then some, as Liviu delivered a couple of other less heavy items on the house without a quote adjustment), damaged nothing in transit and carefully yet swiftly manned my heavy upright Yamaha into its new abode. Thanks Focus Moving! : )

I was referred to this mover by the MIT furniture exchange. They said that YourMove was excellent…read more I was happy about this, because it is always great to find a good mover! What happened over the next week and a half was discouraging. I told them that I had a very restricted schedule (because I am a teacher). I cannot leave classes just because I have movers coming over. We tried to find a time, but it was hard. Eventually I asked my boss for a favor so I could get a time that would work. He let me out of a faculty meeting. This was a big favor. I worked hard to meet these movers halfway! But then on the day of the move, the movers called to say "Hey, we're done early today. Can we come to your place now?" It was TWO HOURS BEFORE THE AGREED TIME! I had to teach my class! What the hell? Who do these people think they are? I should leave work two hours earlier than OUR AGREED TIME just because it was MORE CONVENIENT FOR THE MOVERS? I tried to reach the dispatcher, Judy. I called her twice, but she didn't pick up. She claimed that she called me twice, but my phone said she hadn't. My phone ALWAYS picks up the missed calls. Her movers were certainly able to reach me via the same number. Judy said that she COULDN'T SEND THE MOVERS AT THE AGREED TIME BECAUSE SHE "DIDN'T WANT THEM WAITING AROUND FOR TWO HOURS." She said that over EMAIL. WHY ARE HER SCHEDULING ISSUES MY PROBLEM? It is not my problem! A DEAL IS A DEALl! I CALLED IN A FAVOR FROM MY BOSS SO I COULD BE THERE AT A TIME CONVENIENT FOR THE MOVERS, AND THEN THEY DON'T SHOW UP??? Too bad, favor wasted, because YOUR MOVE MOVERS DIDN'T WANT TO DO THEIR JOBS. When I talked to Judy on the phone, to her credit, she apologized tepidly. But she also said that nothing could be done about it. She made it seem like SHE was doing ME a favor by agreeing for such a late move time (4pm to 5pm). "Movers start early. The work hard and they finish early." She said she worked really hard to find a time for me, she really did me a favor. Great, that would have been nice IF THEY HAD SHOWN UP. You said 4-5PM, BE THERE AT 4-5PM! AND DON'T ACT LIKE YOU ARE _DOING_ME_A_FAVOR_BY_DOING_YOUR_JOB! Who do these people think they are? I cancelled my order. I will not be using them. I will be using someone else. This is flabbergasting, unacceptable. I can't hand over money to people who do such a miserable job with their customer service. Use someone else, someone who actually cares about their customers. Judy lost my sale, and broke a promise just because she can't schedule properly and because she didn't want to have her movers "sitting around for two hours" because she didn't have anything scheduled for them. Maybe she saved money by doing that, but she made me a furious fucking customer. I will make sure none of my friends ever use this service. Nice job, guys.

I am no longer renting a storage unit from U-Haul. I have made a complaint with your home office in…read moreArizona and I have filed a insurance claim with your insurance company RepWest. Mr. Francisco, Diseases directly transmitted by rats. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. This is a viral disease that is transmitted by the rice rat. This disease is spread in one of three ways: inhaling dust that is contaminated with rat urine or droppings, direct contact with rat feces or urine, and infrequently due to the bite of rat. They also carry. Officially, the CDC (The Center for Disease Control) lists seven diseases North American rats and mice transmit directly and 11 they transmit indirectly. None sounds good, and several can kill you. ... Foodborne disease is transmitted through saliva, urine, and droppings. In the course of one day's food rummaging, a rat can unload 50 half-inch droppings. I understand you are not responsible for what happened to my belongings, due to the rodent problem.However, my storage unit was infested by rats, rat fences and destruction of my personal property. i.e. my polo jacket, khakis pants, comforter and my suitcase. Due the high probability of transmitting a deadly disease carried by rodent, I was forced to discard my belongings!!! These items were destroyed by rats eating, nesting and probably reproducing inside my storage unit # 366 located at your Uhaul location in Cambridge,MA 844 Main Street. 02139 I complained about my unit having been overturned by rodents, back in October 2017. But nothing really happened. I understand that unfortunately, there is a huge homeless, disenfranchised people that occupy your area. I was threatened by one of your ex-customers that , had a storage unit next to mine, a year ago. They started asking me for money, then the man became aggressive and threatened me! I called 911, a Cambridge, Massachusetts police officer arrived. When I told the officer what happened, they lied and changed their version of events. The officer, let them go with a warning. And I quickly left your Uhaul location and headed home! Another time, I came to your location early on a Sunday morning, I was stuck outside your Cambridge Uhaul location because your after hours access card would not work!!!!! A caucasian man with a seringe dangling out of his arm, stumbled down the sidewalk towards me. He asked me for money, I noticed he had dried up blood on his arm, I told him I didn't have any money and ran away! I contacted your Uhaul customer service number, and explained, I was being charged an extra $5 for after hours access, and still couldn't get inside!!! And I also believe some of them also rent storage units and probably store food items in those storage items, in your Cambridge,MA location. I am not blaming you for the staff at this particular U-lHaul l ocationor what happened to me me or the serious rodents problem in your location. But, my belongings should have been safe and not destroyed by disease carrying rodents!! I have spent in excess of $2,000.00 during the 2 1/2 years of being your customer. I am sorry, I had to terminate my business with Uhaul. But between the rodents destroying and contaminating my entire storage unit, also I am purchasing a home in March, and I am now storing in a friend's home, here in Brookline, MA. I considered leaving some of my personal items in my storage unit, in your Cambridge Uhaul location. Because I could not salvage those because they were too contaminated with rodent excrement and the possible spread of dangerous pathogens and disease! But, after I saw the extent of rodent damage , rat excrement all over my clothing, linens, luggage and basically the infestation and contamination of the entire unit, I decided to end my storage occupancy at this location.
