CAUTION!!!!! HEED THIS WARNING!
At no point do you ever think that individuals would take advantage of their job. Entrusting a company with your belongings seems all but natural, so imagine my surprise when I went to retrieve my daughter's belongings and Monica (an employee), informed me that my storage unit was empty!!! Yes, you got it correct- empty.
Let's keep in mind that my daughter's bill was paid, I had her keys in hand and yet I was nowhere to be found in their system! How could that be? Immediate panic took over me and I could feel myself losing control as I my emotions began to spiral.
The friendliness that I experienced when opening the account for my daughter was no longer; they were rude, uncivilized, and unsympathetic with a reckless disregard for my current state of mind as well as my daughters. To add insult to injury, they made it a point to tell me that they were off the clock and needed to go home. The manager on call that day, didn't even take the time to review or confirm my concerns.
Long story short.....I had to go back the next day as my daughter was distraught and I couldn't bear the feeling of not handling the situation. Motherly instincts kicked in and I had to become forceful as I could not just walk away and leave my daughter feeling helpless. I went and made them escort me to my unit. I made them unlock the unit they confirmed was "empty" and to my surprise ALL my daughters belongings were present! You cannot begin to imagine the emotions that took over my being, all I could do was cry out of relief. I immediately called my daughter and her flood of emotions and "thank you's" almost brought me to my knees.
Keep this in mind:
1. They deleted me out the system, closed my account a month after I opened it-without my approval of course, so it looked as if I didn't have an open account there.
2. They cut my lock off and replaced it with theirs!
3. They falsified information and said it had been empty since November 1st
4. They said they had checked and confirmed that it was empty (they stated this at least 3 times)
*Had I walked away without following my natural instinct they would have gotten away with ALL my child's belongings and the memories that she had built over the years.
I would say DO NOT trust this company but I would rather say DO NOT TRUST THIS LOCATION as the employees felt no need to protect the company's reputation. The workers as well as the manager that was on call that day, should be fired for intentional misconduct as well as intentional infliction of emotional distress.
As I am relieved that her things were there, I will never forget the hopeless feeling I felt and the pain that I heard in my daughter's voice when I had to deliver that horrible, and now found to be untrue, news! read more
