Spoke to the most aggressive and rude business representative ever today! [Name Removed] from storage king Burleigh was so excessively vulgar on the phone when I attempted to organise a removalist date with them (due to the fact they are forcing everyone to relocate their belongings after their closure). I simply asked if a certain date was… Read more
available and she took off with a vengeance! I was totally blown away as I never thought anyone with that type of behaviour would have a job, let alone a customer service role. I asked her to takes breath and calm down and she then hung up on me. I really hope that phone call was recorded for “training purposes” as it’s a cracker (viral vibes for sure!) Jokes aside, she should be very ashamed of herself and I hope no one makes the mistake of hiring her elsewhere.
Had large unit booked. Recieved an online booking site.. Site wouldnt work, couldnt open it to submit details. Rang " [Name Removed]" to see if we could come into office and pay and sign.. "No.. had to be done online ". Nothing they can do. i tried… Read more
and tried and ended up going to another storage facility. Then recieved a Barrage of nasty nasty texts stating i had not contact her and she had rang me several times to help. I asked her provide a log of these calls as she definatley didnt help me . Disgusting treatment and adding to the stress of moving. Will NEVER recommend them. The number she rang on and text on, i couldnt return her calls she had no return calls on the settings, how on earth are we to call her and discuss issues.... what an absolutely disgusting response from a reputable business.
Follow-up · The number was blocked I couldn’t get thru The facility would e been perfect apart from the service from” [Name Removed]” just a barrage of nasty texts coming to my phone I had to block her after I tried texting her to tell her we couldn’t get the online form filled out she didn’t give a d#mn she said it was online or not at all so we went elsewhere
I have been a user of Storage King for close 20 years. Pricing was fair before being taken over by Abacus investment company prices have gone through the roof. The only assistance from staff is like, don't like it sod off. Storing with them is not longer a viable option.
Follow-up · Follow up with experience with Storage King. It was good price before being taken over by Abacus . I have contacted them regularly with 6 plus emails regarding their constant price hikes with no reply. They are completely arrogant and treat customers as merely cash cows to extract the maximum. They are an investment company after all. All they… Read more

Make no mistake this corrupt company take no responsibility for your belongings and allow dangerous chemicals and flammables and god knows what else,including allowing businesses to trade out of the sites ( a direct breach of contract) Hundreds of people in Brisbane in the Kingston and Burpengary sites are suffering long term due to the lack of… Read more
duty of care if this company. They have offered little assistance for their mistake to the suffering customers. YOUR BELONGINGS ARE NOT SAFE AND EVEN INSURANCE WONT HELP YOU WHEN SOMEONE ELSE IS AT FAULT. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY EVER.
terrible experience from Granville storage king – It was should be a very good encounter.But now it's getting really bad! I talked to [Name Removed] on last Saturday,and make the quotation and reservation confirmed. He is a very good guy,he let me call him on Monday and make paper work and all details done.I can move in earlier if I need to. But now,I just feel very disappointed! I try to contact… Read more
steve on Monday but another staff pick up the phone.I thought it‘s doesn't matter,cos everything almost done on Saturday.when we went to office and try to make the contract done.We were told that the first month of free events had been cancelled and our contract could not afford this right. Even though I show her the quotation and the application was confirmed, [Name Removed] also added note on the quotation. I tried to explain to her and asked if there was some misunderstanding, but her attitude was very impatient. She just kept repeating it didn't show up on the system.I really don't understand if it didn't show up on the system,why I received the comfirmed email from system!?Is this our fault? Why are we being treated like this? The reason might be that we delayed her from work. I felt sorry for that,cos we was plan to move in today and put everything into the car already,It makes us so upset. I hate to think so, but the way some of white people treat Asians is really condescending.kennards self storage staff as well. This storage king is new built,everthing looks good,very clean and all storage come with digital lock,even it not 24 hours access,but the deal is good.I was thought I found the right place But now,I have to cancel it and turn to other place.I think their customer service system is terrible.different staff give to you totally different service, It makes me and my partner very confused. I hope this just my personal experience,not for all.
Honestly the best at Smithfield – My husband and I used Storage king at Smithfield and honestly they are the best. We have used numerous different facilities over the last 10 years and can assure you that they are brilliant. So accomodating to our increased needs, helpful and friendly at all times. Spotless storage areas and the fees were very reasonable plus we got a refund when… Read more
we cleaned our units out early. Discounts for second storage unit as well. Storage King Smithfield looked after us so well. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Colin from Brunswick East – From the moment I picked up the phone the voice on the other end was like they knew me. Nothing but a generous tone and an answer to my situation. Seriously so many businesses could learn about customer service from this guy.!!!

Introducing padlocked Power Points. In a bizarre move to save approximately 1 kW/cent, Storage King West Heidelberg have suddenly padlocked all of their accessible Power points. In single corridors generating fees of nearly $100,000 a year, they… Read more
decided to totally inconvenience and disrupt Unit holders by stopping them from shedding a few documents for a couple of minutes, or deny them emergency recharge of their phone. Management seems to have extrapolated a spike in power usage to ghosts in those sections. Customer loyalty rewarded with a metaphorical slap to the face.
Follow-up · The fire safety concern (I presume about charging eBikes or other Lithium Ion devices) seems highly isolated but within the realms of possibility anywhere such devices are being charged. However, safety is about the batteries themselves-power points out in the open are not inherently unsafe. The total ban is disrespectful to the majority of… Read more

Taylor from Storage King; Box Sales was very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. She made what could have been a stressful experience into a pleasant and stress free one. Thank you Taylor.
A Business With a Heart. Donna, you're an absolute legend. Thank you for taking the time to listen, support, and help us work through things with dignity and respect. The team was fair, responsive, and genuinely kind — something you don’t see enough of in the world of business. Highly recommend Storage King Perth Airport for anyone needing secure storage with people you can trust.
Best customer service – Hands down one of the best customer service in the infinity businesses i have seen, experienced , worked with, been a customer of , worked or been associated with. This was my first experience with any storage company in melbourne. from the beginning- they were polite and helpful over the phone. not pushy at all. at the site . the site manager… Read more
is genuinely really nice and helpful to any one i saw him interact with.
The supporting team was also really nice.
The main guy colin - u ask him for any information or assistance- he goes above and beyond. also they were very quick with my request for 24hours access.
Definitely a customer for life at this storage king ( brunswick east ) . Whenever i would need to use or require storage. This would be theeeee place i would come again.
I genuinely have had a great experience with these guys at storage king. Definitely would recommend to anyone who is looking for storage facilities.
Thanks Team @ Storage King ( Brunswick East )

BEWARE!! Mulgrave Storage King has NOT allowed me to pay for my storage 6 months in advance. You must now pay on a monthly basis. The price per month has risen once again, this time by $20. I called other locations and the new payment system has not been enforced yet. I have just locked in a great price for 6 months at another Storage King… Read more
location. Call different locations to secure a cheaper price and lock it in now! Save your money - it adds if you are looking to secure a unit for 6 months or longer. If you call one location and they tell you that you can only pay on a monthly basis then hang up and call other locations. I have saved over $180. I remember I started paying $99 each month and I locked in 12 months at that price but today forget it, each couple of months the price goes up. I was told Storage King review their costs every 6 months which doesn't seem the case with my storage unit at Mulgrave Victoria.

Unhappy – I have been a loyal customer with this company for many years over a few owners. I have always had a wonderful and very positive relationship with them until now. I am moving out of this shed due to the treatment I have received from Lisa. She has been unprofessional and rude. I believe in loyalty and customer satisfaction and a feeling of… Read more

It is a sad day when customers walk away from what was a good and successful relationship. -1⭐️

So Far - So Good – I just rented storage units at the facility in Oklahoma City. The management has thus far been very professional and accommodating. I am a bit concerned about the reported rate hikes, but I will wait and see how it goes. As of today, I would recommend them to my friends and relatives. Show details

Horrible – 0 rates because if something happens to your belongings storage king don’t know and won’t tell you anything! Please think again if you wish to store your stuff here please remember they are not as Secure as they make it out to be
The GOOD, the BAD and the NASTY – THE GOOD, customer service and assistance in selecting the right space was excellent, and very professional. The facility in Pakenham is very new, clean and appears dry. That is as good as it gets. I highly recommend asking for the contract before signing up, give yourself time to go over it, particularly the second page onwards. Do not get… Read more
sucked in with the one month free, they will claw that back with fees and in my case an 18% increase within a few months. Anytime you question fees and charges the response is always "its in the contract".
The BAD, There is little to no lighting, so you will need to take a lantern or torches. The unit I had, lost some room because of a support beam, so I couldn't stack items against both walls. If its raining, don't bother going, there is no cover whatsoever. There are not any loading areas, so its can be awkward if there is more than one person using that entrance. The security at the facility seems good, though there are three very basic flaws that I picked up on. But I did not have anything of any great value there. If I did, I wouldn't use that facility, and the locking mechanism on the doors is very basic. The security is set up to protect them first, the storage a very distant second.
The NASTY, whatever you do, dont pay late, they will back on a very hefty fee over 15% of the monthly rental, and you will be bombarded with emails, texts and in my case three phone calls in three minutes, they will just keep calling until you pick up, and if you have a secondary contact, they will board them too. Serious overkill for $145. It gave me the impression that they were going bust and that I would turn up there one day and the facility would be closed up.
In summary , shop around, you will get a better deal, and definitely look at the long term costs. Ask them when they are going to put the prices up and by how much.
Disappointed everything was eaten through – Ben is helpful & accommodating. Disappointed when I went in to collect my items from storage the boxes were covered in rat poo & they had eaten through all the boxes & everything I had stored. I would have thought my belongings were protected. I did not have any food or anything stored to attract the rats. Show details
Highly Recommend – I used Storage King in O’Connor. Lynn was so helpful and professional with my changing needs. Very grateful for the service I received Would happily recommend and use again Many thanks
Read the contract – After 4 days into a new month my circumstances changed dramatically and I notified them I wanted to vacate and get a partial refund they refused so I basically paid for over 3 weeks for nothing

Excellent Service From Alex at Storage King Bentley – Overall, my experience with Storage King Bentley has been exceptional, thanks to Alex's professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to customer satisfaction. I now have peace of mind knowing that my valuable belongings are in safe hands. I highly recommend Storage King Bentley to anyone seeking reliable and customer-focused storage solutions.
What a horrid human being – The female manager at Storage King at Windsor Gardens is the most horrible person I have ever come across. Her attitude needs a major adjustment and when cornered she has the incredible gift of lying to cover her faults and short comings. Why the management keeps this lady employed leaves me speechless.
Beware – **Beware** I do not recommend renting with this company. I was charged $82 ($41x2) while trying to rent a unit from them. They do not have record of either charge and it didn't apply towards my account. The managers do not have the ability to do anything other than take your money and they refuse to give you the contact info of someone who does.… Read more
Storage King does not have any type of corporate contact info listed anywhere. If you call their call center they just route you back to the location manager who doesn't have the ability to do anything. Its extremely frustrating and absolutely ridiculous. They're basically thieves Who just take your money and tell you there is nothing they can do about it. Who knows what other payments this place loses on the reg. I'd definitely stay away.
Incorrect information from phone support – Staff at Woonona Storage King are very helpful and the storage unit was good, however Storage King phone sales incorrectly advised me about getting immediate access, which caused us great inconvenience. There is no support outside strict business hours unless it's a 000 level emergency. We thought the quality of their moving and storage materials was barely adequate.
Poor Customer Service – Ongoing increase in rent and if you call no one to take your call. Even my account was charged increased rent without 30 days notice which against the law.
A rip off – After rent a unit for 8 months storage king informed me of a $20 rise in monthly rent justified it by saying that it is written in the contract! Could not give me what section of the contract it was written in!!! Storage king did not infrom me verbally of this rise after six months before I signed the contract, do not I repeat do not rent a storage shed off them
Storage king frankston stole my stuff – If your late with payment they just sell your stuff. No payment plan offer or anything They give you an extra 10 days And I was within my 10 days! They don't tell you when or how much they sold your stuff for or give you any opportunity to rectify the situation apart from your extra 10 days. All my daughters things are gone I have nothing left. The people are rude and tell you nothing at all ill never recommend them they are thieves and liars
Poor facilities and dodgy service – My work and industry has seen me attend many storage shed facilities in the past, and I can honestly say storage king compares very poorly to other storage companies. From transparency in their dealings to quality of the buildings themselves...most locations are effected by poor maintenance and management. Time and again I've been unimpressed with… Read more
broken gates, roach and rat problems, signs of water leaks and mold issues, even possum nests. Misleading examples of what your shed will look like.... And management. Shesh! Constantly changing and hostile if you dare complain about the above issues. Also no storage company is nice when rent has fallen behind, I've witnessed staff behave heartless about it at times towards parties involved. I would not ever recommend this company.
