Storage Pros

This is a large, 3 story climate controlled storage unit complex of the kind you’d see at Storage Wars. You know, long hallways with uniform and neat metal overhead doors.
This location sells moving/​packing supplies, has rental van/​boxtrucks available, PO boxes, sells locks and even has some offices available (if setting up shop in a storage unit is your idea of a good time). There is indoor parking for your loading/​unloading convenience, and access is gained via an overhead door operated by a gate code. Because of the different levels there are evelators and several carts which you can use to make hauling your stuff easier.
Make sure that you abide by the opening hours which are between 6:00 am and 10:00 pm, because if the alarm is set off a $ 250 fine will be assesed. If you don’t return a cart and leave it in your unit there’s $ 25 down the drain. If you put trash by the dumpster versus in the dumpster, $ 75 will be charged for illegal dumping. $ 10 mandatory lock purchase as you can’t use your own, $ 20 one time administrative fee upon start of the lease and monthly $ 1 invoice cost if you opt for paper bills (you can opt out of this!). Be sure to pay on time because there is a tiered fee structure for that, too.
They seem to be fee happy here so just make sure you read the rules and regulations and use common sense and you should be good, I think they are just deterrents for potential unreasonable folk. I’m no saint, but I don’t foresee any fees in my future so I’m pretty happy so far.
Ironically even with abovementioned charge for a lock and administrative fees, the cost for a climate controlled unit is very reasonable. Due to the nature of what we are storing climate control is a must, and I was happy to hear the quoted costs in comparison to some other facilities in the Metro Detroit area.
One gripe is that 2/​3rds of the carts were tied up with packages destined to be picked up by FedEx by one of the businesses renting an officebox. When inquired about this with management we were told it is a regular, normal occurence. When a hand pallet jack is available, is it too much to ask to pack shipments on a reusable wooden pallet for the sake of consideration for the other several hundred tenants in the building?
