Renter beware of online specials and this company!!!!
The online special was 3 months free and then $109 per month. We were just notified that when our 3 months is almost up the monthly rate is now $323 a month not $109. We argued with an agent who finally agreed to only charge us double ($216) the advertised special that we agreed to. I feel like this is a bait and switch scam. Get people to move in all of their stuff and then raise the rates. You must provide notice 10 days in advance of moving and provide photos of the empty unit. I don't trust that the current double rate won't be changed the following month.
Disappointed at move in to find lights missing in our unit. I asked to have them replaced. After 2-3 weeks I replaced them myself. Multiple lights were out throughout the hallway where our unit was, so I complained about that as well. They did fix those. As people move in/out they leave trash in the hallways, so I had to complin about that as well. They did clean up the trash. There is a person assigned to the facility for these issues, so I'm not clear why these items are not handled without me complaining.
I should have followed my own advice to my kids. Anything too good to be true, is too good to be true. I'm very frustrated that my only recourse is writing this review. I would never recommend that anyone use this company. Also, the only person they will speak to is the person who opened the rental agreement, which is my wife. She's too nice, so negotiating the reduced rent amount was a bit of a challenge.
Update on 01/10/26 to my original review on 01/08/26. Steve the owner responded to my post, which I had hoped would have me writing a positive update. Unfortunately, we could not contact him directly. We left multiple voicemail messages with the Go Store It AI answering bot. A human called back and asked me to text a copy of the Yelp review with Steve's response to the phone number the representative was calling from, which I did. My wife also went to the company web page and sent a copy of the same information via email.
We just received a call from Omar at Go Store It. He explained that there was nothing they could do for us. He then said the price increase was across the board for everyone, because the value of the property the facility sits on went up. Omar said that the 10x30 unit we rent is now +$400/mth, and the $216/mth rate we were given was a really good rate. Our image is that the $216/mth will only be good in February and then essentially double again in March.
Based on the discussion with Omar, it sounds like our storage fees will continue to skyrocket. This company is unconscionable, and you would have to be crazy to do business with them after reading this review.
Update 01/21/23 We moved out of the storage facility this past Saturday. As we were leaving, we ran into a couple that had been long term renters. They said this storage facility has a history of constantly raising rates. They said that they played the company's game and opened different accounts to move from unit to unit, so they kept a reasonable rate.
We decided to move about a mile away into a comparable size unit at Extra Storage Space. That company was honest, explaining the first month was free and the discounted rate was guaranteed for 4mths, before going to the normal rate. Their normal rate will still be lower than what Go Store It was planning to charge us.
When we provided our move out notice, the virtual agent never asked why we were leaving. Overall, I believe we received poor service, and it appeared that the company didn't care about customers. I think this explains the multiple empty storage units that we used as staging areas for small stuff, while we packed out the moving truck. read more
