Horrible! Do not use storage!:
I moved to New York City from Michigan. I rented a Uhaul truck, and paid over $700 for the truck rental. So I got a free storage unit for the first month.
I signed up for the first month for free, and after the first month it costs $250 a month (which is outrageous). (As a side note, the chick that signed me up was totally rude and mean, not customer service orientated at all, however, I looked past it since I was getting a free month).
On the U-haul website, it stated this storage unit is open 24 hours a day for storage access.
So today, I went to the Uhaul storage center to retrieve some of my items. I showed up at about 6:45 PM. To my surprise the door is locked. I look at the door, and the business hours say they are open until 7:00 PM. I went inside to ask the girl to open the doors. She rudely cuts me off halfway through my sentence and tells me they are closed. I told her, "Your sign says you are open until 7:00, and it is only 6:45, also, your website says you have 24/7 storage unit access." She simply IGNORES ME.
So I wait for 45 minutes until 7:30. Not surprisingly, there are still 4 employees outside cleaning trucks out. I ask for the owner of the business, and a man that identifies himself as a manager approaches me. I proceed to tell him what happened, and he tries telling me that the sign on the door says they close at 6:00, like I cannot read or something.
At this point I am INFURIATED that their customer service is so horrible, especially as I am talking to the manager.
The manager had absolutely no regard for his employees behavior and customer satisfaction of his facility. He simply dismissed my concerns. Not to mention I am paying $250 a MONTH for this unit! I expect $250 a month in service!
Down the street is a Public Storage that costs $215 a month for a 10x10 unit instead of $250, AND their facility is open until 9:00 PM daily. No tricks involved there!
This is the worst customer service I have ever received from ANY business and I hope that Uhaul Corporate fixes this facility!
