Add a contract and after three month they double the price no where in the contract it stated my price was for three months They said the person who we had sign up the contract was fired and they said that if you don’t like the new price to leave I when by to clean out the unit only to see they are tearing done and building more two story units I guess they need the money for that FYI found a another unit for I/3 of the price and very professional Sorry bad business with attitude

Hello John, our sincere apologies. Our promotion has been for many years, first 3 months at 50% off. Our storage agreements will reflect the full price of the unit. We are sad to hear you left.

Be careful! Don't trust the store regarding promotion. when I book a storage, I hold a promotion 1 month free if booking 2 months. but, it is changed on my moving date morning when my moving truck coming, it changes to first three month 50% off if booking 5 months on the fly due to covid19 and my reservation is ignored.

We changed our promotion to INCREASE what we were offering the public, 3 months at 50% is greater then our original promotion. Our promotion does not require booking 5 months to be activated, even storing one month will earn you the promotion.

Was better before they expanded. Gave courtesy calls to make sure penalties didn't add up. Seems like they want them to now.

Hello Corey, Per our records, in addition to sending you your monthly invoice, our team also made multiple attempts to reach you both by phone and email before you were charged a fee for late payment.

We had an outstanding experience at SelfStor’s Newkirk Richmond Hill location. From start to finish, everything was quick, easy, and stress-free, exactly what we needed. A special shoutout to Laurie, who welcomed us with a warm smile and made the entire booking process smooth and pleasant. She was incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional, truly a gem who made us feel right at home. The facility itself is spotless, secure, and easily accessible, with everything clearly explained and ready to go in no time.

5-star Google reviewSam F.5 years ago
I inquired about if they had any space for a cargo van to be stored there over the winter. They promptly wrote back that they didn't have availability. But they went a huge step forward and had their location call me and refer me to some other options in the area. This was such an impressive quality! Truly showed that they cared. Thank you so much! I will try reaching out to you well in advance in the future to book as you've been amazing thus far :)

Eliza helped me out with a 8x10 unit, she was polite, communicated effectively and took the time to show me the unit as well as suggested a smaller cheaper option for my needs. the paper work was seamless and i feel confident and safe using selfstor for my storage needs! she does excellent work, and in my opinion deserves employee of the month! Thank you

5-star Google reviewCherie B.10 years ago
The SelfStor staff are pleasant, helfpul and knowledgable. The units are clean, spacious and good value for the money. Access is easy with card access, with sufficient space to get a truck in and out of. Security measures are effective and the area is well lit.
