Greetings fellow yelpers!
If you ever find yourself In a jam and have to put your belongings in a storage facility , think twice before going to public storage. Don't do it!!! Go to a privately owned and ran company. Do NOT go to big bad corporate public storage.
Dawn( current mngr)has been very helpful, courteous, and professional. So why the low ratings? I won't bore you with the long winded story of family fraud and deception. That's a story for another time and another place. Let me just give you the quick and the dirty: I just found out my locker is being auctioned off after five years of tenancy. And normally, if it were my own crap, i probably wouldn't even care. Good riddance and all that. But in this case, the items inside belong to my deceased mother. I haven't accessed it since my mother died and I packed and stored her home.
Here is where things get ugly- rogue family members illegally accessed my moms unit. I have no idea what is left or if its even worth the $400 fee. One would think that anyone who hadn't been hatched from a pod would be more understanding of my request to please let me see what's left of my mother's things. I'm not interested in taking anything, as I am sure the individuals who fraudulently accessed my unit have already helped themselves to whatever was of value. I just wanted closure. In private. Away from the prying eyes of the auction public.
One simple request and i was given a resounding and resolute NO from the district mngr.
PUBLIC STORAGE I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. Do u really think u will get your 13 pieces of silver from auctioning off a dead 75 year old women's household goods? I am offering to make good on your fees if you would only give me additional time.
This is my dead mother's personal items. What do you gain (besides bad karma) by not working with me? I am giving you an opportunity to make things right. Please see that you do. Because in the big scheme of things, do you really want a dead woman's personal belongings? I would certainly hate to have to picket your facilities at northgate and north market blvd on auction day (april 25th). There is no telling what I might write out on multiple signs regarding your facility. And I really don't want to cause such a spectacle that all of our local news stations feel compelled to have to report my story. After all, it's not my business or professional reputation that is being questioned. So please, show the world that big bad corp america does indeed have a heart and can execute common sense.
Miss district mngr , work with me, please. read more
