Center Street Storage

Thresa Smith

Worse storage unit as far as customer service goes. My problem still has not been resolved. I truly know they have no clue how to run this place.

I have rented a Uhaul dozens of times and it has always been a smooth process without incident. However, none of those times were from the Center Street Storage location. My first issue was having difficulty with the self check out process. It was a difficult process and I had trouble with the reservation so I called for help. I had to speak with the call center as it was after hours and the customer service representative actually argued with me and told me I was seeing things that in fact were not on my screen. Logging out and back in refreshed the system so I was able to see what she was telling me. Regardless, the tone and jumping to a combative response verses troubleshooting a solution was not acceptable customer service. The check out process took over an hour which meant I missed the open hours for part of what I was trying to move. Checking the truck in was fine although another lengthy process. So far the above incidents are on the Uhual Corporate side and not Center Street Storage Specific. The rest of the story is fully on Center Street Storage management and the reason for sharing my experience. When I returned the truck I accidentally left keys in the truck. I fully take responsibility for that as my error. Getting the keys back should have been a simple phone call and stopping by to pick them up. However, it was a frustrating process. I tried calling three times all of which were not answered by Center Street Storage and sent to the Uhual call center. Those customer service representatives were great and sent messages to the on-site manager to return my call to arrange me retrieving my keys. I also stopped by the office to find a sign saying there was no one on site and to call a local number for help. When I called that number it went to the call center but they were able to transfer me to someone local but not on-site who informed me he just spoke with the manager so he was there and to try the door again to which I informed him the door was locked and a sign said to call for help. A line of customers trying to pick up their truck reservations was beginning to form by this time. I was also trying to pick up another truck to finish my move since the delay the day before caused me not to finish the move. I nicely asked him to change my truck reservation to another location to get things rolling. He argued with me and interrupted me multiple times so I asked him to just cancel the reservation all together. Some backlash later he canceled the reservation and hung up on me without even confirming the reservation had been canceled. (I easily rebooked to the the Stony Brook location who were super nice and I highly recommend). After getting a truck from another location I returned to Center Street Storage to still find a line of people waiting. I checked in multiple times through the day and still was never able to talk to a person. Without those keys I was once again not able to complete the move. Finally the following day there was someone in the office. I walked in and the was a girl at the computer who did not look up from her computer and with a rude tone said “can I help you.” I said I left some keys in a truck. She picked keys up from the computer and handed them to me without ever looking up from the computer. I was further surprised to not need to describe the keys or show identification that matched the reservation to price they were my keys. In the end I got them back which I am grateful for. That initial checkout delay caused a succession of events resulted in two very stressful delays compounded by some of the worst communicators and customer service representatives in the industry. It also caused one move to turn into three and cost an estimated $800 in additional expenses and time. In the future I recommend choosing the Elkhorn and Stony Brook locations for all your Uhaul needs.

The issue occurred when it came time to end my unit rental. I called two weeks in advance to let them know I would not be renewing for the upcoming month. I then also called to let them know day of that I had moved out all my items, swept out the unit and removed the lock. The lady on the phone said I was good to go and my rental had ended. 2 weeks later I get a nasty email from them stating I was getting late fees applied and “they demand full payment immediately”. Just a joke, extremely irritating. They need to pay better attention to details

They have a gate that is supposed to keep all the baddies out. Personal Service is top notch.
