I moved this past weekend and hired Bookstore Movers for the job. I can honestly say I was blown…read moreaway by the professionalism, efficiency, and expertise of the moving crew. I worked with a different moving company 2 years ago that left me scarred for life with how rude and unprofessional they were. I ended up having to finish the job myself (moving my giant couch up four flights of stairs), so when I knew I was moving again, I did my due diligence and sought out a few quotes. Another company quoted me almost $800 and required a 3 hour minimum for the job!! $800 seemed steep and I knew the job wouldn't take that long... Along came Bookstore Movers who quoted me a reasonable $470 minimum for two hours of work and a maximum of $680 for 3.5 hours of work (price breakdown: $140 per hour with 2 hour min. plus a $190 truck fee). I received a quote within a few hours of requesting it. There was no deposit required and the date was booked. I received detailed emails leading up to the move about FAQs, tips for a seamless move, and the names of my crew including contact info for the crew lead. Abdul (crew lead), Niiwayo "Y.O", and Milly were SO fast and friendly. They wrapped every single item with care in drop cloths and got to moving immediately. Despite the 90 degree heat and a total of five flights of stairs, the job was finished in 2 hours. I was SO impressed. I was so traumatized by my last move that I literally had to walk away while they moved the couch in but before I knew it, I got a text from my boyfriend telling me they had fit it through the door and our living room was all set up. I was so relieved and happy to work with them. If and when we move again, (hopefully not anytime soon, lol), I will 100% be contacting Bookstore Movers... and you should too!

He was training a new person who seemed eager to learn and I hope he'll follow Gregory's approach. As Gregory said, it's important to remember that "customer service " is all about helping the customer. What a contrast to CubeSmart (Pleasant St) & Public Storage (N Charles) where no one seemed interested in me becoming their customer (Public Storage was a no show for my appointment). This facility is extremely clean, bright, and serene. Gregory showed me options, discussing how much space I might need and said if I needed a bigger space than I thought we could easily make a switch.

I'm going to have to cancel my card tomorrow and for them to not issue me a refund when I cancel my order to me is very unprofessional. As a business owner who operates in 2024 it seems rather interesting that your associates are very equipped to handle transactions but none of them can handle a refund? It's a shame because they're 6 minutes from my house and I just won't be using them in the future if none of their staff have the confidence to refund my money. They even took my number and said the manager was going to call me and nothing has been done it's been a week.

Unfortunately, our…read morecontractor went under and we had to pick up all the pieces, which means we had our unit for nearly 4 years! We signed a paper contract when they dropped off the unit, although I don't really remember signing a contract. But then 3.5 years later, they sent us a digital contract and asked us to sign it. But because I don't remember the paper contract, I refused to sign the digital contract. Even though we were paying every month on time for the last four years, they refused to give us one more month with the unit because we refused to sign the contract. Additionally, after returning the unit, my credit card was charged two months in a row, and I had to call the company to get a refund on my credit card. I would recommend the business because the delivery and pickup of the unit was simple. But everything else involved with renting this unit, I don't recommend.

Stay away!! Where do…read moreI start? When I signed up for a locker I was told my rent would start on the 1st of each month. When I went to pay they insisted that I would lose my locker if I didn't pay on the day I was there making my rent due on the 20th instead of the 1st which caused me to be late monthly. THEN after about a year, I went there to pick up an item and found that the lock hasp had been hack-sawed. I contacted the management and they informed me that it was like that when I moved in - IT WAS NOT. I went back the following week, more saw marks, dents in the door and the hasp had been pried and actually had pulled one of the bolts through the metal. STILL nothing was done. I purchased a new hasp on my own from an online distributor and got the wrong one so I had to purchase another ($40 total for both). Now the door only opens 1/2 way because I had to put large washers on to hold the hasp in place. On to the next rant...Elevator was out of service for close to a year. They'd like you to believe that there are security cameras BUT they are only located at the elevators giving crooks plenty of time to saw your hasp off. Did I mention that there are people living in the storage units? There was an occasion I went to get a few items and a woman was doing her laundry in the restroom AND using 2 carts. I said something about it to the attendant who told me that as long as her cube was paid that there was nothing he could do. There's very little lighting in the unit, so I brought in a drop light so I could see what I was doing while getting things out. Recently the decided to remove all the outlets so now I have to use a flashlight. There seldom are carts available so if you need a cart, bring your own. The only good thing I can say is the staff are polite and professional.

Next, we repeatedly found ourselves waiting for staff more than once. The day we checked in, we waited for a staff member to return from lunch for over 45 minutes. The following day, we returned with a moving crew and waited over 30 minutes for the building itself to open. We arrived at 10, and left at 10:45, while the building was meant to open at 9:30. All this being said fails even to mention that the facility itself is nowhere near as clean as nearby competitors and we were shocked to find our unit with preexisting trash in it. Look anywhere else before you look here.

Yelp has made this difficult to do. But I am always up for a rewrite…read more Storage businesses often benefit from the struggles of the people who use them. Many people store their belongings for joyous reasons, happy relocations, marriages and couplings. But just as many people need these spaces because they are going through trauma or loss. People lose loved ones and homes. They are often in transition. My disabled, senior brother is one of those people. He is going through a lot of changes right now. I am assisting him through these changes. In the middle of his struggles- not the least of which is aging and dealing with chronic, intense pain- I was helping him on the phone while he was conscientiously organizing his space. He never complained to management about the pregnant roach he saw crawling in the space (he is a very tidy person). Nevertheless, as I was coaching him on his navigation through stress, one of the managers of the space accosted him. He had his storage door halfway down as he was obtaining his things. This woman, from out of the blue, rips open his storage door without knocking. Highly emotion, firing what had to be misplaced anger about other things- she hurls invectives at him. She starts, apropos of nothing, berates him about God knows what - for sitting down?? He was sitting down in the space because his back and leg were in a horrific amount of pain. He told them, when he rented the space, that he would be moving slowly and needing to sit because of his disability. Businesses that trek in consumers' traumas often attract narcissists and people who like to lord their illusions of power over vulnerable folks who pay their last dime to store their stuff. Over the course of the next several days, my brother contacted the corporate. THEY ADMITTED TO HIM ON THE PHONE THAT THE EXTRA SPACE STORAGE WAS AT FAULT. This unstable manager person, in retaliation, proceeds to harass him in every way she can by 1) putting a lock on his things 2) giving him thirty days notice to remove his things from storage. He called the police, he called corporate and I called corporate. My brother witnessed this same unstable manager person verbally berate a young woman in a hajib who was standing silently by trying to access her storage. Then Corporate reneged on its original admission of culpability, no doubt swayed by the harangues of this horrible, abusive, inappropriate and unprofessional employee. So now my brother, on top of everything else, is going on a roller coaster of conflicting, exploitative responses. He paid his money for the storage up front. He is tidy and polite. He was so prepared to give this place star ratings because the other employees were fine. Do not go to Extra Space Storage. Indeed, boycott the places. It does not have consumers' best interest at heart.
