Review update:
I'd like to thank Adam at the Fairgrounds location for promptly reaching out and resolving my friend's and my billing issue in under 24 hours. Because I value transparency and honesty, I'm leaving my original review below--but I'm updating my 1 star to a well-deserved 5 star for the excellent service I've now experienced. I appreciate Adam and his team!
I originally planned to leave a 5 star, but after my recent experience I can only give 1star.
The staff I interacted with -- Olivia and Adam at the Fairgrounds location, and Jennifer and Brian at the Tennessee location -- were professional, friendly, and kind. The issue is with the policy and lack of follow-through.
Back in February, Jennifer confirmed I could prepay a storage unit up to 24 months at the starting rate. In August, I inquired again since I'm experiencing financial issues and Jennifer informed me that the new timeframe is only 6 months. All four team members I spoke with (Aug 14-16) agreed on this new change. My friend and I booked our units, paid 4 months online, and then paid the remaining 2 months in person -- as instructed. However, the system still charged me and my friend the higher rate starting month 5, only honoring the starting rate for 4 months instead of 6.
Despite repeated follow-up with Adam and providing proof of Jennifer's email, I was promised a resolution on Tuesday, August 19th. Six days later, no one has called, texted, emailed, or corrected the issue.
This is poor business practice. If staff and customers agree to terms, the company should honor them -- not hide behind a computer error.
Advice: view your unit in person before booking (sizes differ), and always get names in case you need to escalate to corporate. For comparison, the Tennessee location was flawless -- Jennifer is excellent! read more
