Storage Company Fraud
January 24, 2020

We were ripped off by Storage Treasures, because the manager of the storage facility where we won an auction demanded that we pay $450, which is DOUBLE of one month's rent, before he would let us pick up the auction on the next available day he would be there. This is unreasonable and there should be NO additional expenses because that is NOT included in the contract/agreement. The storage facility then refused to refund me for the money they claim is theirs, so now they have collected sales tax on the same goods TWICE, What a scam!

If you goto storage auctions live, you will notice that some lockers are messy with items hanging out of boxes and strewn about. But there are at least as many units that are clean and organized with no open boxes, things stacked neatly... etc. Every locker in Storagetreasues.com is messy with open boxes and things in disarray. 99.9%.

Think about it logicallly if you have not been in person. For example, there are many people who rent storage and go to it exactly twice: once to load it and once to empty it, perhaps months or years later. Their stuff is all sealed boxes except for the funriture, Things are stacked neatly andi sensibly. You never see this in a storagetreasure locker.

It's interstatre fraud and the FBI should investigate

Three times i purchased auctions that were nothign but garbage i believe was stagged. NOw that the new site is up ive had three lots canceled moments after i wont the auctions my guess is the bids were too low and the storage managers wanted more money. I contacted their customer service who told me there is no safegaurds in place to protect buyers they can be $#*!ed at any point. Only the storage managers and any thing they perpetulate against the bidders are protected. They state the storage manager can remove his offer at any point even if youve won the auction. They want people to bid but offer you no safegaurds and you are liable for any amount you bid even if its a mistake. Stopped using this $#*! site effective today. Complete waste of time and money and you have no rights except to pay up chump.

When I started my account with storage treasures they misinformed me of rules of canceling auctions, I was told make sure I canceled before the end of the auction or I would be charged $20, now they are trying to charge me regardless of there mistakes, storage treasures is a big scam.

Horrible website, was winning an auction then it randomly gets canceled, won another auction was on my way to pay and they call me saying owner came and paid in full. I think its all just a scam. I truly believe the people working there liked the storage and wanted to buy it themselves. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE! COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME! Youll have better luck going to physical auctions because you wont be able to truly win anything on here!

I want an auction!... no no no I didn't!
March 27, 2021

I won an auction on storagetreasures.com and, as instructed on the website I called the storage facility to tell them I was coming. On the phone she said, "yes come on" so I drove across town to claim and empty it. When I arrived there was only one woman working there. She confirmed that she was the one I spoke with but I would have to wait 30 minutes for her to finish her lunch break. After waiting in my car for 30 minutes I went back in and she told me that the owner had paid the balance and I couldn't have the unit. According to the storage facilities computer the owner had paid at 2:15 PM, the auction didn't even end until 3 PM. So apparently the owner had paid for the unit long before I won the auction... ridiculous! I called customer service, they said there's nothing they can do about it. In fact, because I raise my voice slightly at the girl for making me wait through her lunch break to tell me that, the customer service rep from storagetreasures.com told me they had banned me from bidding on storage units at that location,... seriously! This storage facility was an hour away from my house. The time wasted... ugh! I will never use storagetreasures.com again! Everything about the situation was shady!

I have bought 5 units in the last month and one was a 10 x 35 all junk Goodwill would not even take the stuff for free! Five units and not 500. Dollars worth of stuff.
One unit was empty boxes, one was a bicycle that only the scrap metal guy would take.

Credit card fraud!
March 4, 2023

I had bid on 3 different warehouse units in November and they would not accept my payment because supposedly my address on my debit card does not match their format in their billing system but I was offered a second and 3rd chance to buy these units and when I tried to pay for them they could not get my card to run through their system so now 5 months later I decide to try to get back on there again because there's a local unit I want to buy and they want me to pay for it The 3 units that I did not even get 5 months ago before they will activate my account again because that is their rules they said so stay away from these people they run your credit card for however many times they want for items you did not get.

I bid on a locker online and won the locker, I won't say which facility But, I went in my transit van expecting I could clear the locker in two trips, to my amazement I did it in one trip.
The reason became evident when I got home, I looked at photo of won locker only to see half of it was missing, i bid on & look at so many it never crossed my mind how much was missing. Turns out the facility used an old photo taken when the tenant defaulted, but paid at last minute, so was cancelled, then defaulted again so went to auction again, but what no one realised the tenant had been in and removed half of locker goods. Obviously this should have been re-photographed and checked, but equally I should have checked against the photo when first opening locker.
I emailed both facility and storage treasures, and it was storage treasures that intervened and got me a partial refund, that I was happy with, so 10 out of 10 for storage treasures.com
I'm reasonably new to storage auctions but I'm not new to business, so remember it pays to be nice, be civil and people will be civil to you, and if you can't accept that, don't bid and buy.
Happy customer
John

I was in the middle of bidding and while i was bidding my 1 year old started slapping the keyboard while i was sending it threw so it changed my 100 to a 1000 i contacted them immediately as it happened ( the bid was only at 60 at this time) as it says to do on there help questions a couple hours go by and i send another message finally get a response and it was a man named arturo lopez he said he would contact IT and they could change it as long as it was under the 100 dollars. I was like okay thank you. 4 days goes by now and they haven't done anything that they said and now the bid is jumping higher and higher! Still no response from them again and i sent them 4 messages now. I think they are a shady company and they where waiting for the bid to jump to act like they cant do anything about it now! Really 4 days it doesn't take a 2year old to go in as admin on there own website go to my account and adjust it down to what i was trying to originally bid! There unwillingness to help the very people(customers) who are funding there company is ridiculous! I refuse to ever do business with them ever again! Save your money and do live bids!

We bid on 5 units. It did not tell us we were outbid and appeared to have us as winning all 5 units we were bidding on. Then it did not do a "soft" close where the bid time increases by 2 minutes each time a new bid is placed but still had not told us we were outbid. Also, our bid amount (150) was the high bid. Evidently another bidder had a higher max bid entered but the bid did not go to 160 (and say we were outbid) like it should have, it remained at 150. If you are "outbid" someone has bid higher than you; not the same amount! This kept the overall bid down on these units and was unfair (possibly illegal) to the facilities selling the units and the tenants that have the bid amounts credited towards their outstanding balance that is subject to collection. When we arrived to get our units we were told we had only won 2 of the 5. We like to bid on multiple units, especially when we are driving 3 hours (one way) to get them and it just isn't cost effective for us to win one or two units. We were told we had the option of not paying for the units after driving 3 hours, which would have been very unfair to the facility selling the units and stupid since we already had driven 3 hours in a box truck with a trailer. We have the printouts showing what I have stated above. I have called multiple times only to hear that a supervisor was in a meeting and would call me back. That has not happened. Horrible customer service! We have cancelled our subscription and will just use LockerFox from now on.

I actually won a unit in Gaithersburg Md facility today after the auction restarted twice. What all of you need to be aware of it that this LLC pulls the auctions based on the lien amounts of the units that the owner owes the LLC. The auction I won was $677. Even though I won the bid, received an email that I won the auction, Made payment to the LLC, When I called to schedule a clear out date, I was told and in not so nice a way that the auction has been cancelled. Cancelled, even after it ended, was paid for and told I won. What Storagetreasures don't make clear is you can win the auction but if they do not get what they want they simply cancel the auction after it actually ended. If you attempt to talk to their main customer service, they (Michael) because he says he is the only one there, will laugh and tell you they can do what they want. They have been in business for years and have sold millions of units. Wow! This is certain interesting. They call this customer service? I am going to see if my legal representation thinks the same way. This auction is the WORST!. Scott Brown
