Review changed see below for original.

The quote I got was for £62 for a pallet for 8 weeks but the guy on the phone “forgot” to mention the wrapping fee as well (Another £10ish) so total was more like £72. The lady in the store was nice though and lowered it down to £67 for me.

After positing my original review they contacted me and said that they listened to the voice recording and they did in fact say 62 not 52 but would not send it to me until I requested it under GDPR with the Privacy team and didn’t even tell me that was an option. Jusr said they wouldn’t send it as it “is for internal use only”. Odd. But I read the Privacy Policy and they sent it.
They were correct though I miss heard the 62 as 52 but it sounds VERY similar in the recording and didn’t help that when I said “so 56 quid?” The guy replied “yeah” but said then 62.

GDPR people were quick. People in store were nice. Don’t really appreciate the adding £10 or having to get the GDPR team involved to get the recording though.

Original review:
I called Safestore Gateshead and was quoted £50 for 8 weeks pallet storage at the Gateshead store. I even asked if that was the full price and was told yes.
So then later that day I went to the store and the lady told me to unload my stuff while the contract was being generated which she said would take some time.

So after I have unloaded everything I go to pay my £50 and she tells me it is £75. A 50% increase. So she tells me that the £50 the guy said on the phone was actually £56 and the guy has read the price without VAT so it is £67. And then on top of that there is a £8 wrapping fee.

Neither of these were said on the phone but it was now 16:40 and I have already unloaded everything so do not have time to go anywhere else. It was my last day in Gateshead so had to have stuff moved by the end of that day.
The lady in the store was nice so I ended up paying £67 which is 35% more than it should have been.

This feels like an obvious setup. The quote is a lie to entice you in and then lady at the store tells me to unload so that by the time I am done unloading and realise I am being scammed everywhere else is shut.
