I was a loyal Stor-It customer for over six years, renting multiple units and spending thousands of dollars with this company. Unfortunately, that's not how they treat long-term customers when a problem comes up.
Out of the blue, I received a phone call demanding that I immediately remove one of my trailers because people were allegedly "complaining" about my property. The same setup had been there for years without a single issue being raised. There was no meaningful notice, no attempt to work with me, and no reasonable opportunity to resolve the situation.
I had to leave work immediately to move a trailer because I was told it had to be removed right away. When I asked if I could have until the end of the week, I was told only that particular trailer had to go immediately, while the rest of my property could be removed by the end of the week. I spent the remainder of the week moving multiple trailers and vehicles to another storage facility because of their abrupt demands.
What was most disappointing was the attitude. During my interaction at the facility, I was told, "Good riddance." Whether that comment was directed at me or not, it was made during our interaction and perfectly reflected the level of customer service I experienced.
The facility itself has also declined significantly over the years. When I first became a customer in 2019, it was a well-kept storage facility. Today, in my opinion, it looks more like a scrapyard than a professionally managed business. The overall appearance and upkeep have noticeably deteriorated.
To make matters worse, after complying with everything they requested and removing all of my property, my account was closed without any communication, and my request for a refund of the unused prepaid rent through the end of the month has simply been ignored.
Businesses make mistakes. What separates a good business from a bad one is how they handle those mistakes. Stor-It chose poor communication, disrespect, and silence instead of professionalism and customer service.
After six years as a customer, I expected far better. I cannot recommend Stor-It based on the way they treated a long-term customer. read more
