STORAGE EXPRESS - Frequently Asked Questions
1. What do I do if I lost my key?
Should you lose your key and need your lock removed, please print the Authorization to Cut Lock form, complete the required information, and fax it to 877-389-8888, or return it by mail. For further assistance, contact us at 1-800-STORE IT.
2. Who has access to my storage space?
You are the only one with access to your space. You lock it - you keep the key.
3. What do I need to do when I move out?
Please notify us 30 days in advance of your planned vacate date. When you're finished with the space, all we ask is that it's completely empty and your lock is removed, so you won't be charged further rent. If we find your space vacant and unlocked, we will assume you have already moved out.
4. Do you sell moving & packing supplies?
No, we do not sell moving or packing supplies.
5. Why I am still being charged for a space that I've vacated?
There are two reasons: your space was found locked after your planned vacate date OR your space is still occupied with some of your belongings. If you believe there is an error in your billing, please contact us by phone.
6. What happens if I leave items in my space that I don't want?
Any items left in your space are your responsibility. We will continue to charge you rent until your space is empty and unlocked.
7. What is the easiest way to pay my bill?
Our Auto Pay option is the easiest way. No more check writing. No more postage. No late payments. Payments are on time, every time.
8. Why don't I receive a monthly statement in the mail?
We do not provide paper bills free of charge. You may provide us with your email address and and we'll send you a complimentary e-statement each month.
9. Why am I not receiving e-statements?
We apologize for the difficulty you are experiencing with our e-statement system. We rarely experience the problem you are having and we appreciate your patience while we work through it.
Please send an email to storeit@storageexpress.com and include your account number and email address. We will try to resend your current e-statement to you. To prevent this from happening again, please add storeit@storageexpress.com to your preferred or accepted email list or address book. If you still do not receive the e-statement, please check to see that it isn't being redirected to your "deleted" or "junk mail" folders.
10. Does Storage Express insure my belongings?
No, Storage Express does not carry any insurance for your personal property. We don't require insurance, but it's highly recommended. If your belongings are worth storing, they're worth insuring. Check with your insurance agent or call Bader Insurance at 888-223-3726 for a free quote.
11. Do you provide locks?
You'll need to provide your own lock and key so that you are the only one with access to your space. We highly recommend a disc lock or a padlock with a thick shackle.
12. What is the minimum rental commitment?
