Locked out of facility for over a month and locks cut off my unit and could not access my personal things all for lack of communication on their part. Lost my paperwork and had no idea who we were and was told our unit was not rented and not ours. Luckily I took pictures of all of it. Now I still cant access their payment page after numerous times of enter the information they gave me.

Hello Bryan,
We do apologize for any confusion. Whenever a tenant is behind on payments, we must follow all Georgia State lien laws. If you would like to make a payment, you can always contact the call center, pay online, or set up autopay. We recently took over this facility. Like all new facilities, there may be some growing pains. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

I was told there would be a roll up…
I was told there would be a roll up access door to my 10x30 unit. It was a tiny roll up door with simply a man door behind it. The moving company charged me double to load the unit and my favorite table that my grandpa built me had to be cut to fit through the door way. Absolute false advertisement. All the other smaller units around it had large garage type roll up doors. It took twice the amount of hours and labor charges.

Hello Melissa,
We do apologize for any confusion. We do have other 10x30 units available. You can always contact the call center for a unit transfer. We will be more than happy to accommodate you.
Thank you

I arrived at the wrong address
I arrived at the wrong address. Then when I found the unit it was no bigger than a closet and someone else's stuff was in it. Then I was asked to fill out a form stating that I moved out so I wouldn't continue getting charged. I never moved in

We sincerely apologize for your experience thus far. We'll be reaching out shortly to discuss further as we are not able to locate you in our system for reserved units or acquired units.
Thank you for your patience in the meantime. We will be in touch.

CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH GATE CODE!
We have a space for our RV at 10 Federal Storage in Trinity, NC #63. We have been able to use our entry code on the gate MAYBE twice since we rented the space. That was the original code, after not being able to get in one time they gave us a temporary code and said maintenance would come to fix the problem. WEEKS later we went to check on the RV and the temporary code would not work. Spend LOT OF TIME ON THE PHONE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO ANSWER... Gave us another temp code which we use and got in the facility. Later we went to the facility and NEITHER CODE WORKED. Again WEEKS later we receive a text saying we have a new code. Went to facility to try it out..DID NOT WORK. WEEKS LATER we received a text saying it is fixed. IT WAS NOT. Again we sit on the phone waiting for someone to answer. This has happened many times. ALL WE GET WHEN WE CALL IS "WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING EXCEPT GIVE YOU A TEMP CODE AND WE WILL REPORT TO MAINTENANCE" We have asked to speak to someone else in management, to no avail (they cannot do that they said) It is a very nice facility but the problem with the gate is ridiculous. Our RV with truck is 60 feet long. When we go to take the RV back into the facility... our RV sticks out into the street by about 2 feet...the drive to the facility is in a curve with traffic traveling at 50+ MPH. SO IT IS DANGEROUS TO BE SITTING WITH THE END OF THE RV IN THE 2 LANE ROAD.
The Customer Service is absolutely insane. The people on the phone cannot do anything to help except to give you a temp code (which you have no idea when it will expire) and put in a call to maintenance. Today we received a text saying Maintenance cannot find a problem with our code. Well, we had to use the temporary code to get in the last time and it worked...SO OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW HOW TO USE THE KEYPAD. We have asked to meet the maintenance people at the unit. Either we need another code that does work. Again, C/S people have told us they have these calls often.
HATE TO MOVE FROM A NICE FACILITY BUT GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO START LOOKING IF THIS PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED. IF WE COME IN WITH THE RV AND GET HIT ...SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED. I get out of the truck and motion my husband within a few inches of the gate and we are still in the road. We have suggested that the gate needs to be brought in about 5' to give large RVs that are going to their spot a way to get out of the road. William & Wanda Kearney

Hello Wanda Stone Kearney,
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for your experience thus far.
We appreciate your patience while we have been looking into this issue. We have had a technician out to inspect the gate operator and to check your code, but we are not experiencing the same issues from our end. Nonetheless, we do apologize for any delays in finding a solution. We've gone ahead and reset your gate code again and reached out to you directly. We can assure you this is a unique circumstance.
Our Customer Support team is in-house and works closely with the management team to ensure all communication and decisions are made in a timely manner. We also like to stay connected with our tenants. We take pride in answering all calls within a minute or less. Please do not hesitate to reach out again if you need anything at all.
With the above said - we will be contacting you again to understand how we can make it right. We appreciate our customers and value the feedback.

Renter beware
Renter beware! Look elsewhere for a safe and secure storage facility. We have rented for 3 months and have had multiple issues, access issues with the gate not working, theft, flooding, mice/rats, and reported people actually living in an adjacent unit. There is no on-sight staff to help, you must call a number to be routed to a person working from their home (typically unprofessional with lots of background noise). We have never talked to the same person more than once and have called at least 20 times in 3 months. Each time we call they say they will try and help with no follow-up. Needless to say, we have moved our items out to a place into another storage facility. I should have known that this was not going to be a good place when we were first placed into a unit that had some else items already in the unit. When I called to let them know the person on the phone acted as if that happens all of the time. I usually do not post negative reviews but I gave them the benefit of the doubt - don't make the same mistake.
Update following the "management" response:
#Unit 31A located at 3943 Platt Springs Rd. We have emailed and called several times regarding these issues without resolution. Your "industry standard" contract may legally omit you from doing what is right by compensating us for our losses but it does not limit our ability to inform others of your business practices.
UPDATE #2:
I appreciate your reaching out to me again through this review site.
We emailed images on Sun, Nov 29, at 4:33 PM showing the water in the unit, damage to our personal belongings, and the rat/mice dropping. I even left the rat poison in the unit out of respect for the other tenants (which your maintenance person should have found upon their inspection).
We have spoken to your customer service representatives more than 6 times. The last 4 times we spoke with someone (again a different person each time) they indicate that they have noted on our account that we would like to speak to an account representative and someone will be in contact with us. As of today, still no call, no reply from an account manager.
Why would you post a reply on this site when you have our contact information? Why did you not call yourself? This is exactly what I am referring to as your companies business practices. The lack of personal attention to these issues by 10Federal is deplorable.
You have my number, please don't post another reply - but call! I will update my review upon a suitable resolution and after speaking with an account representative or better yet, a manager or even the owner.

Hello Douglas,
Thank you for providing your unit number and location. We can now see that you are listed as the contact person and not the account holder and that is why we were unable to find the information.
After careful review of the account, we see that there was a negative review sent in by the account holder on 11/15 saying that we removed the lock from the unit and didn't give notice. After confirming that we did not remove the lock and wouldn't do so without notice, unless it was an emergency, we saw on video what appeared could be someone removing items from the unit. We immediately contacted the account holder giving them the details that we had. He seemed to be very pleasant and appreciative of our call from the account manager.
On 11/28 we see that there was a report of a flood in the unit. Upon inspection by our maintenance technician, there was no visible sign of any leak or water damage to the unit floor or the insulation in the ceiling.
We apologize if you have gotten some background noise when making a call to our customer support center. Our initial recording does tell you that you may experience that due to the pandemic and our representatives working from home. We also have had no reports of any mice issues and have monthly preventative exterminator services.
Per your review, you said that you have moved out. Please be sure to contact the customer support center to go through the proper move-out procedures to ensure that your account is closed properly, otherwise, you account will continue to incur charges.
If you would like to reach out to us personally to discuss any of the above mentioned, please contact our customer support center and ask to have the account manager reach out to you.
Thank you,

Response from 10 FederalNov 12, 2020
John,
We appreciate you taking time to give your review. However, we are sad to hear about your unpleasant experience. We do have a customer support center that can open the gate manually for you while working on addressing the issue. Like any business, there can be a technical issue, however, we work diligently to get them solved and to make our customer's experience second to none. If you would be willing to give us another chance, we would like to make things right for you.
Thank you,

Customer Service is terrible and unprofessional
I have had the most unpleasant and unprofessional experience ever with attempting to get my leases corrected to reflect accurate information. It has been 4 phone calls and it is still not 100% correct. Your customer service agent stated "that's just how it is." When asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told everyone was in a meeting and I could not leave a callback number. We have rented from you guys for years and will be looking for somewhere else to take our business. I will not recommend you all to anyone.
Response from 10 FederalOct 20, 2020
Hi Chalana,
Thank you for reaching out. We sincerely apologize for the issues you've experienced thus far. We have specific protocols in place for updating contact information, or lease agreements. If it is simply an adjustment to the contact information we can send you a form to complete where we will then update that right away in our system. However, if it's an update to your lease agreement it may take a bit longer as that is a binding document, which is usually completed by the tenant, prior to signing. We will need to investigate prior to making adjustments as a necessary security measure.
Nonetheless, our Property Management team is usually notified immediately when there is an escalation request. We have not yet seen that request but we can assure you we'll be looking into matters further to come to an immediate resolution and find out what occurred.
We will be completing an investigation on your account. In the meantime, we have added a credit to your account for the trouble you've experienced. We hope to make things right with you for your future storage needs. Thank you kindly.
