However this year I had to reconsider as none of my friends were available to take my belongings this year. After comparing local storage unit prices I found GRG Storage and not only were their prices affordable they were also nearby and just five minutes away from my university accommodation. I decided to give them a try and leave my belongings for the summer. I have to say that I was impressed by the quality and affordable prices I was offered. Using my friends to store my stuff is good however now I can take the hassle off their shoulders just simply by using GRG Storage for summer storage solutions. It is an easy and reliable service offered at great competitive prices just minutes away from the University of Salford! I highly recommend this as my proffered storage provider for my fellow students at the University of Salford!

Calling this place an absolute joke of a company, would still be me being mild. It's just…read moreunbelievably bad. The issue at hand, I make a reservation for a storage unit. No issues until I got there, unit already paid for, I get a confirmation mail, and even completed an online check-in process as well. With my goods (having paid for movers), I get on scene to find out my code doesn't work and make it all even more wonderful, they don't have any staff on scene. After about 45 minutes, I get through to customer care (By the end, of 7 calls I could connect through to them only on 1) during which they tell me my ID verification didn't pass because they couldn't verify my address. After some back and forth, they decided to use my residential address in the UK, and was asked to mail them a bank statement that mentions my address in the UK. I do, following which the next response of any kind I get is after 2 hours, all while I'm supposed to be sitting there on the side of the road with all my stuff. Now the highlight, the 2 documents in question being, - my passport which I'm using to be in the country in the first place - the second being, a official bank statement from Lloyd's bank stating my address at the very top. Firstly, why on earth would you send a Reservation Confirmation mail of any kind if you haven't verified the prerequisites. Secondly, they somehow think the appropriate time to bring up an issue is, after the customer get on-site with his goods and after he calls customer care for the Nth time. Following these hours of back and forth, I decided to find an alternative. It took me a total of 10 minutes to get it all done, and actually "CONFIRM" a unit and I used the same IDs. And for all the customer sevice BS mail responses, your understanding of my frustration is not what is keeping the roof over my head, it is all the money I spent on the movers.

Recently taken on a storage pod here to do just that! Proximity to where i currently live (most self storage a places are right on the outskirts of town), secure on site parking and free 24hr access were the winners for me as well as being able to pay by credit card. They sell all the usual packing items that you may need when wanting to box you superfluous stuff up and offer referral vouchers if a friend takes out a pod. No min contract and 1 months notice is all that is needed to quit your pod. All you need to provide is a decent lock which can either be bought from them or from any hardware store.

It's a simple concept to nail, have modern, spacious storage rooms and good accessibility to higher levels - well done Alligator, you passed on all tests. I signed up for a decent sized, 35ft space the other day and was pleasantly surprised with the price after looking at several more local options. Alligator is in an old mill that has been renovated to a high standard, so space isn't a issue. Bonus point. The service from Steven and a lady who's name I didn't catch was also fantastic. Again, it's self storage, so you don't go in expecting customer service to rival what you'd expect in a swanky restaurant, yet the pair of them were brilliant in showing me what I wanted to see and compromising on a price that made me happy. I can't envision why I'd ever have to move, unless everything goes tits up they flood my storage room, so Alligator, thanks for the service, I'm in for the long haul.
