American Self Storage

I was initially attracted to this storage facility because of the location (8050 E. Main St, Mesa) to where I was temporarily staying but then realized that their advertisement of being «air cooled» didn’t mean «air conditioned». In my line of work, I have a product inventory which has to be kept at no higher than room temperature, so I now have products that are no longer good to use because the temperature inside the building during the summer months killed the active ingredients in most of my products.
The bigger issue I have though, is that now that I have moved and taken all my belongings out of storage and am completely unpacked, I find that I have A LOT of items missing. I am the one who moved all my belongings with a Uhaul, so there are no movers to blame anything on. I moved everything myself, and NOTHING got left behind. The facility owners provided me with a «free» padlock for my storage unit, which I now believe they had a spare key to… although I’ll never be able to prove that, nor can I prove what I had before I stored my belongings there vs what I have now. All I can do now is just warn others to stay away… as I’m not sure that even using your own lock will prevent your items from disappearing. When you have a room full of boxes and other items, there is really no way to know that you have anything missing until it’s way too late. There are plenty of other storage facilities in the area. It’s worth it to pay a little more to avoid the possibility of your things being stolen from the very facility that you’ve entrusted to keep them safe and secure.
