DO NOT RENT HERE!…read more
Let me start off by saying this place is nasty, and your stuff will be MICE INFESTED (pictures below). Not only is it dirty and unkept at this location, but the customer service is extremely unprofessional.
This will be a long read, but I had to share my experience.
First off, I've been a CubeSmart member for 3 years. Mind you, my storage has gone from the early $100s to $170 plus a fee to pay! They only give you a warning about a month before.
I scheduled 2 ACH payments. They came out on the same day, which messed up my transaction with CubeSmart. Mind you, I have never paid my bill late or NOT paid my bill, so they added a like $40 fee to the account.
I tried to speak with the general manager, DEE, that drives the silver Benz outside, and she told me that it was Navy Federal's fault and that Navy Federal took the money from them and charged the fee (which I knew was a lie because I worked at Navy Fed before). But I let her continue with her lie!
Called Navy Federal in front of her, and they said they did not, in fact, charge anything and had nothing to do with it.
Mind you, they put a lock on my unit literally one day after being late, when I have been on time for 3 years. Not once did the general manager have grace and say, "Well, this is a person who always pays her bill. Let me contact her by email or phone and at least try to follow up to maybe see what's going on."
So I chalked it up and just ended up paying the extra fee. Whatever.
So I come to my unit a few days later, and my unit has a lock on it even after I paid! I called and called. No answer, no response. I eventually ended up coming up there on a Saturday, and my unit, 3 weeks later, was STILL locked!
I called customer service, and they hung up on me when I asked to speak to someone from corporate. They also told me they couldn't give me the district manager's email, which is pitiful.
They made sure to lock it when they felt they didn't get the money, but somehow forgot to unlock it when they did!
So I asked for them to waive October since I paid for September and the unit remained locked. Kyle, the "district manager," was there and never came out of the office to even apologize or show face. As a manager, I would have AT LEAST introduced myself. Just shows how much appreciation they have for customers.
I still continued to get emails stating I didn't pay, so I contacted Dee again, and she told me she would give me a call and give me a code to access the gate, which you'll understand why she said that in a moment.
She NEVER called me. I emailed her. No email back.
Then I got an email yesterday stating a lien fee. I called AGAIN, and she told me she don't know what corporate doing, she don't got nuffin to do wit dat, and hung up! I called back. No answer!
Went up there, and she was sitting right at the desk. I politely took a picture of my balance, got a new storage, and moved my things across the street!
When I came to move my things, she gave me the code for delivery drivers, LMAO! That's the same code she gave me when I called and she said she would give me a code. I put my own code in, and it didn't work. So that means YOU DID and BEEN knew what was going on for you to give me an access code that's not mine!
I nicely moved my things across the street and the experience was so pleasant. I was having a rough morning yesterday, frustrated, and the manager, Ginger, literally prayed with me and gave me the biggest hug and really spoke life into me. Everything happens for a reason because that was a beautiful encounter!
THAT'S the customer service you should receive!
I told her about CubeSmart, and she went out of her way to make sure my experience was so pleasant yesterday!!
Please be aware to stay away from this CubeSmart. I don't know if they stealing money or what, but it's very janky here, untrustworthy, and they don't care nothing about your business or being professional!
The worst customer service I have ever dealt with in my life!
We are the reason y'all have a job! With customer service like DEE, I see exactly why you are stuck working at a place like CubeSmart. You deserve to be nowhere else! You don't care, you're lazy, and you're a hot mess!
