*****I called the number and my account no longer exists. You call me. Unit B08. You have my number*****I received a text stating that my move out was complete only to call and find out that my unit was open and going to be emptied yesterday, due to storm damage, after being notified that no access was allowed the day before. No notice whatsoever! Do not trust this business!!!! Resolve the issue with a number that tells me they can't do anything at all? Should I just file an insurance claim since I am paid up until September 11th and my stuff is being disposed of?

I thought the price was reasonable for the size I had. 50 bucks for a small shed size. Nice height. Of the ground and they were repairing the lot for better drainage so good for them and customer.
