Debunking Common Myths
Published on 1/8/2025
Storage facilities have become an essential part of our lives, especially for those who are constantly on the move or need extra space to store their belongings. Despite its convenience and practicality, some people still hold onto certain myths and misconceptions about storage facilities. In this article, we will debunk these common myths and show you why storage facilities are the way to go for all your storage needs.
Myth 1: Storage Facilities Lack Convenience and Security
This is perhaps the most common myth surrounding storage facilities - that they lack both convenience and security. Many people believe that accessing their stored items will be a hassle while also worrying about the safety and security of their belongings.
In reality, modern storage facilities like Arborstone Storage offer all the convenience and security you need. Our facility is accessible seven days a week from 6 am to 10 pm, making it easy for you to access your items at any time that suits you. Additionally, our state-of-the-art security measures, including 24/7 surveillance cameras at most properties ensure that your belongings are safe and secure.
Myth 2: Storage Facilities are Only Open During Business Hours
Some people believe that once they store their belongings in a storage facility, they won't be able to access them whenever they need them. Some facilities may have restricted access during certain hours for security purposes, but you can usually make arrangements for after-hours access. At Arborstone Storage, our facility offers access 7 days a week from 6 am to 10 pm, allowing you to easily access your unit on your own schedule.
Myth 3: Storage Facilities Have Poor Customer Service
Another common misconception about storage facilities is that they have poor customer service. This couldn't be further from the truth. At Arborstone Storage, we value our customers above all else and strive to provide the best customer service possible.
Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are available to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have. We pride ourselves on going above and beyond for our customers, ensuring that their storage experience is a positive one.
Myth 4: Online Bill Pay is Not Secure
With the rise of online transactions, many people are concerned about the security of their personal information when it comes to paying for storage unit rentals. However, reputable storage facilities have secure payment systems in place to protect their customers' information. They use encryption technology and have strict privacy policies in place to ensure that your personal and financial information is safe. However, at Arborstone Storage, we guarantee secure transactions through card/ACH auto payments and automatic recurring payments. This makes managing your account and paying your rent quick and easy.
Myth 5: Drive-Up Access is Expensive
Some people believe that using a storage facility is too costly and not worth the investment. However, this myth fails to consider the potential long-term savings of utilizing a storage unit. For example, storing seasonal items such as holiday decorations can free up space in your home and prevent you from having to repurchase these items every year. Furthermore, many storage facilities offer competitive pricing and often have specials or discounts available. However, at Arborstone Storage, we offer this convenient feature at an affordable price. This makes loading and unloading items from your unit a breeze.
Myth 6: Only Large Units are Available
Another common myth about storage facilities is that you can only store large items such as furniture or appliances. This is not true at all. Storage facilities offer a variety of unit sizes to accommodate different types of belongings, from small boxes to large furniture. You can store anything from seasonal decorations and sports equipment to important documents and clothing in a storage unit. At Arborstone Storage, we offer a variety of unit sizes to accommodate any type of storage need. Whether you need a small space for seasonal items or a larger unit for furniture and appliances, we have you covered.
Myth 7: Trailer and Boat Parking is Not Available
Many storage facilities do not offer trailer and boat parking, leading some to believe that this option is not available. However, at some Arborstone Storage facilities, we have a designated area for trailer and boat parking with a maximum length of up to 50 feet. This allows you to safely store your recreational vehicles when not in use.
Myth 8: Storage facilities are not necessary
In today's world, space is at a premium. Many people simply do not have enough room in their homes or offices to store all of their belongings. This is where storage facilities come in handy. They provide a secure and convenient solution for storing items that you may not need on a daily basis but still want to keep safe.
Myth 9: Self-Storage is a Temporary Solution
Finally, some may view self-storage as a temporary solution and not a long-term option. However, at Arborstone Storage, we offer flexible leasing options to accommodate both short-term and long-term storage needs. Whether you need storage for a few months or several years, our facility can meet your needs.
