Shurgard Self Storage - Northampton Central Omdömen 32

Awful company! They changed the site I was storing at to a remote site, so instead of easy access I was told I had to go to another site much further away to pay my bill. Then when I finally accessed my unit I found items had been stolen since they had cut my lock and forced entry because I was late paying. When I complained they told me to call the police WFT!? It was only their staff that had gone into my unit, but they didn't seem to care!!!

I think it’s important to point out that this Northampton town centre location is now unmanned, although staff from the Riverside branch manage it and visit daily.
As a facility It could do with better lighting inside and new trolleys. Shurgard removed several lamps from the corridors which has left it a bit gloomy in the units so I take my own light. The roller shutter has also been deactivated but this shouldn’t be a problem unless you have an item too wide to fit through the door.
You use an app to open the gate and the door to the facility, which is simple most of the time. I have had a few problems with access which would have been easy to fix while it was manned, but have now all been sorted by the excellent Riverside manager and her team.

All in all it is a good facility with a few letdowns, these are all from company decisions (and clearly cost-cutting) and do need a little investment to sort.
These are largely compensated for by a really great team at Riverside who will do everything they can to help.

Charley was brilliant great team great experience.

Really easy to use, find and unfussy.

Communication from the team was clear and made the first day very easy.
Follow up call was appreciated and couple of queries were answered straight away in a friendly polite manner.

Charlie and Cameron were very helpful and answered all my questions regarding the storage facility.
Great customer service with clean and tidy storage units. Very good price for the first month. Very happy and will use again.

Great storage system. And easy to use and find your own lock-up unit. Very plsead with the Shurgard service.

Staff was helpful throughout the entire process. Found easy to navigate the building and find my unit. App works great for access code.

The experience was smooth and transparent. staff were also very helpful.

My initial impressions of Shurgard were rather negative as I had booked and paid for a 180 sq ft storage unit to ensure it fit furniture for a 3 bed house. Having arrived at the site with a full van and two removal men, I was taken to a unit 65 sq ft in size. I queried this and Lesley, who was taking me round, checked for another 180 sq ft unit and again, when we arrived, it was only 65 sq ft. Luckily, he found one on the ground floor that was the right size (although still only 170 sq ft when I am paying for 180) and he and his colleague, Flo, were excellent at sorting this swap with their manager, especially when I was originally advised I would need to pay more if I was swapping to a ground floor unit. Shurgard need to sort their systems out so this doesn't happen to other people but I am very grateful Lesley and Flo were there to help out and make sure my experience improved.

Friendly staff, very helpful, and i feel at ease knowing my property is safe.

Easy registration, friendly workers, clean and secure storage :)

Lesley at the reception desk was very helpful and made it easy for me to use the storage unit
I will strongly recommend SHURGARD to all family and friends and everyone who needs a self storage unit
