Of course the first thing they did was to raise the rents. For me it went from $235 to $360 a month. Since the new company has limited hours in being able to access your vehicle or container, the increase does not make it worth using the space again. It's unfortunate because it was close to where I lived but such is capitalism. It is now like any other expensive storage facility.

"Cover Your Ass" contracts and then no notice of a missed payment until 22 days afterward when fees have already been assessed. I'm in a very difficult financial situation and dependent of the help of others, and now I find that my property is being held hostage, without my being able to prevent it in any way. I'm sad to say that this is on or for the industry, which is why I'd stated that I would never use one of these type businesses again.

I hope to never be involved in a live-in relationship again. The fact is, after a long 15 year,…read moreoff-and-on courtship, I had planned to get my llfe together and propose this past January, but unfortunately the relationship ended a month earlier. On December 3, 2008, I left my life and within a night, moved blindly to North Long Beach with little more than a Bible and a blanket. Over the following week I'd stop by to pick up things like clothes, our turtle Fred (he's 9 now), and my Magic Mic so I could karaoke songs like Walk On By or More Than Words with a comforting friend (thanks René) and a few Heineken Lights. With little chance of fitting everything into my Honda, I left a lot of larger items like my bikes, a couch, my patio set, a bookshelf as well as a lot of electronics like PCs, printers, a fax machine, etc... I hate going to that house now, I'm uncomfortable there...memories of simple things like making her breakfast on a Sunday morning...but it had to be done. I know it's been 8 months, and that's too long so last week, I made arrangements to pick up my crap. Still in a small Honda, I needed a plan so I looked at www.UHaul.com. With my zip code, I was able to make reservations to rent a truck at South Street Self Storage (not too far). I received a call in the early evening confirming my truck reservation for the following morning. When picking up the truck, I found the staff at South Street Self Storage to be polite, putting up with me being Ivan, etc...They even suggested that I could call if I was running a little late, and they would wait for me, so I wouldn't be charged for an extra day. That seems really generous to me. I gave them my driver license and a credit card and was out of there within 10 minutes or so and on my way to OC to get my stuff. It all worked out really well...When I returned it, they did the math, calculated the mileage and I was good to go... _____ Notes: 1) Looking back, Mike McManus's "Living Together: Myths, Risks & Answers" seems like it would have been a worthwhile read... 2) Rates: 10' Truck=$19.95 + $0.79/mile, 14' Truck=$29.95 + $0.79/mile, 17' Truck=$29.95 + $0.79/mile...optional $14.95 insurance covers the truck and your goods, $29.95 covers everything, including the poor sucker that you backed in to...$75 deposit and don't forget to fill the tank... 3) If moving a distance of greater than 50 miles, it makes sense to rent the truck "One Way" and drop it off near your destination. It's more cost effective. 4) When renting a truck, I believe it's worth it to spend the extra money and go larger than what you think you may need...it's better than making an extra trip at $0.79/mile

WARNING: AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Choose another storage facility…read more Please learn from my mistake and do not be sucked in by promises of cheap storage for the first 3 months. They will bait and switch you and they have horrible customer service. No one was there when I arrived at 1:30pm. I called the phone number, no one answers. I am standing there with 3 movers who are ready to unload, but we can't get past the gate. Eventually someone picks up the phone and rudely says they left to assist other customers (this was a lie, the employee with the poorly drawn on eyebrows was in the back of the office in an employee only area). I say no problem and step inside to fill out paperwork. Right off the bat, this woman had an attitude. She claims I don't have a reservation. I say yes I do, and show her the email. I ask if I can have the driver pull the truck in while we fill out paper work. She smugly says no. Bait and switch #1: she tells me I will have to pay a higher rate for insurance than I was told when I made the reservation. Bait and switch #2: she also tells me I will need to pay 3 months up front (this is fine but it would've been nice if I was informed when I made the reservation and discussed with them over the phone). At this point, I am uncomfortable, annoyed, and getting the impression that she has no interest in helping me. She say that I have an attitude and that I can find storage elsewhere. I understand they have the right to refuse service, but I don't have time to find a new storage facility (moving is stressful enough), so I try to apologize. Asked her what I can do to make this right. She still says no. I tell her to have a wonderful day and inform the moving crew. The movers plead with her because they want to get the job done. No luck, she tells them the same thing: we are not welcome here. We had to call around to other storage facilities and got very lucky to find a cheaper unit at a higher quality facility that doesn't require 3 months payment up front. It all worked out and I'm so glad I didn't give them any of my money. These are terrible people and they don't deserve to be in business.
