I am compelled to write this in regards to my recent interaction with Chris at Springview Storage. My wife and I have had 1-3 storage units at Springview for the past several years when we lived in Roseville. I have known Chris for several years. He was always extremely cordial in my dealings with him.
My wife and I relocated, but we still have 2 storage units at Springview. My wife went to Roseville with my daughter and while there, she wanted to get a few things from storage and bring it back to our home which is 3 hours away.
My daughter, who also had a storage unit for several years tried to go to storage to retrieve some items and was not allowed access wit her vehicle. She was told graciously that she could walk to the unit and Chris would offer her a cart if needed to get some stuff and carry it to her car.
So, today I called Chris to ask what I could do to allow access to my wife and daughter. That we lived 3 hours away and when either my wife or daughter were down in Rocklin we would be getting our items from time to time. I asked Chris if I could send him a message allowing my wife and daughter access. He said unfortunately they can't do that. They need to have you sign a document. I asked if I could fax a document. He said they don't do faxing. I said "does that mean I have to come down to sign a piece of paper"? He said "no. You can use USPS and send us a letter".
So basically my wife and daughter can either carry our things from storage to the front gate or use a cart. They are not allowed to drive in to our unit.
I do t have any problems with rules. What I have a problem with is how Chris spoke to me about the rules, which was in a very condescending manner. Rudeness does not get you far in business and Chris needs to step back and re-learn how to treat his customers. He is so stuck on making sure you "understand the rules", that he forgets that he is acting in such a condescending way.
No need to go into more detail other than to say, if you're looking for a place to store your "stuff", stay away from Springview Storage. I will make every effort to get my 2 units cleared out as soon as I can. Like I said earlier Chris, take some classes on how to interact with your "paying" custo

I am writing this addendum to my original review. I have been in contact with Chris at Springview Storage several times and my interactions with Chris have been very professional. We have been able to move forward with our business relationship and I want to thank Chris for reaching out to me. This was a great recovery on behalf of Chris and I can now say that I would definitely recommend Springview Storage. I have always believed in second chances and Chris is definitely making a great effort to make things right. Thank you Chris. read more
