My tenure with Hide-Away storage was great. The facility always was clean, accessible and the staff was helpful. I only had some concerns during my last two days of having my storage. As I was preparing to move-out, I communicated my intentions to the office staff and received some directives. My payment was due but I was told to go ahead and move-out then come to the office so that I did not have to pay a full month's rent. I was told that he did an over-ride in system so my code would not be blocked due to nonpayment. I drove an hour 10 minutes to finish moving out that evening but was unable to access the storage because my code had been taken out. I paid my movers for their troubles and contacted the office the next day and explained that I could not get the balance of my things and had to pay my movers. Apology was made to me and I was told to get the things that day and he would work with me regarding that day's prorated pay.
After moving out, I followed instructions and called the office I got a guy that I had not dealt with before. He was a poor listener, pushy and unapologetic. Instead of listening carefully to what I was sharing about what had transpired and what I was told, he kept pushing me for the payment. I gave my card number then re-explained the situation before the payment went through. He replied, "Well, I just submitted the payment."
This discussed me because in the end, not only did he charge me for the day that I came back due to the code not working, but he also charged me an extra day. He charged me for the day of my transaction which was the day after I actually got the remainder of my things. I left a message for the office manager as the poor listener told me that he would have to consider refunding me. I never got a call back. I called several times and receive no response. It feels intentional because I never was unable to contact them during the year that I stored with them. I'm all about fairness and customer service; in the end I didn't receive that although I had no complaints prior to the move-out.
