  I purchased a storage unit from a private seller through Storage Treasures. The auction closed on a Thursday morning at 10am. I called the seller shortly after the auction closed to coordinate pickup. The seller stated that they "should not have set the auction to close on a Thursday because he was out of town. We can do the pickup on Monday" He then tells me that I will need to rent a U-Haul truck because it will be a very large load. So, I rent a truck for Monday. Come Monday morning I cannot get a hold of the seller for a couple hours, until he finally calls back. He says he is in a city 20 miles away, he is just getting up and wants to get some breakfast. He then says, "I will be there when I'm there". I have a truck rented for this sale that closed 4 days prior and as I am going to leave my house, I get an email from Storage Treasures stating that the auction has been cancelled. Storage Treasures website has their list of rules and terms for private sellers and one of them clearly states "We do NOT allow auctions to be cancelled after sold." You don't have to have a legal background (though it helps) to know that as a business, you do not get to make the rules and terms of a sale but not follow the rules and terms. This company operates with incredibly deceptive business practices, which is clear and evident in the number of complaints here all essentially saying the same few things. It makes sense that people have to come here to complain though, as they offer you no means of reviewing a seller, or their non-existent customer service. They make their own rules, but they sure do not follow them.

  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

  ************************** is an online auction platform that connects buyers with both licensed storage facilities and, in some cases, private sellers. While we do not own or operate the units listed, we do facilitate the auction process and work to support fair and transparent transactions for all users.

  Although we cannot control the actions of individual sellers, we take all reported issues seriously and are happy to help mediate disputes when they arise. In this case, we are actively reviewing the situation, including the sellers conduct and your communications with our team, to determine the appropriate next steps. We are also evaluating the actions of the agent you spoke with for quality assurance purposes.

  We understand your concern about post-sale cancellations. While our Terms of Use outline that auctions are not to be canceled after closing, exceptions may occur in rare. We review these on a case-by-case basis and take steps to discourage abuse of the system.

  We hope this one experience with a private seller does not discourage you from participating in future auctions. StorageTreasures hosts nearly ****** auctions each month, with the vast majority listed by licensed storage facilities, not private individuals. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to improve the platform and our processes.

  All items seized by government agency at the storage facility. It was illegal for the auctioneers to sell hazardous materials. I lost my money ($707 dollars) and contents of storage which had a resell value of $30,000

  Hello *******,

  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We understand your concern.

  ************************** is an online auction platform that connects bidders with storage facilities conducting lien sales. Each facility is responsible for managing its own auctions, including the contents listed and compliance with applicable regulations.

  We are currently in communication with the facility and their upper management to gather more information about this auction and how they plan to proceed. We expect to have an update by early next week and will follow up with you as soon as we receive a response.

  We appreciate your patience while we work to address your concerns.

  Sincerely,

  If you pull the footage from the security cameras you will see who came on the premises and confiscated everything. 

  Bottom line is I participated in the auction, I won, I paid $707.00 and had everything confiscated or stolen. 

  Storage facility hasn't responded to me,I've contacted every environmental agency and police department. I'm told the auctioneers and storage facility legally had no right to sell the contents of the unit because it contained highly hazardous material/chemicals.

  I want to be reimbursed immediately for monies paid, money I've lost , and the time I've spent dealing with this issue.

  Hello Christi,

  Weve been in ongoing communication with the facilitys upper management, and they have agreed to cancel the auction and issue a refund for the winning bid. In addition, ************************** will be refunding all associated buyer fees from our platform.

  We understand how frustrating this situation has been and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to our support team.

  After winning a unit I went to facility to pay for it and as me ,my witness and employee were unlocking unit she informed me that they had been in unit, opened items and moved things. When I told her I wasn't comfortable with that. She offered to cancel auction and I agreed . It was a mutual agreement and I had a witness with me. Well the employee went straight in and told st I refused unit. COMPLETE LIE AND SHE KNOWS IT. I would say my word against hers, but I had a witness that heard the whole thing. ST suspended my acct because of a lying employee that was scared to tell the truth for fear of losing her job.. I NEVER REFUSED ANYTHING. I have bought plenty of units paid for,cleaned out and had good standing with st. But because of some lying little employee I now don't. St needs to review these facilties and stop letting these scamming ,stealing,liars get away with ruining peoples accts. Stand up for your customers. The ones that pay you . So now you have the audacity to tell me that you will reinstate my acct only if I pay you more money . Bad customer service. You also said I can not bid on any unit at *********. because this is where the lying, stealing employee thought it was a good idea to lie to st because she was upset that she got caught admitting to tampering with unit. Which that's awhole can of worms she going to wish she hadn't opened. Oh and not being able to talk to customer service unless you pay them even more money is just bad business and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

  Dear BBB Representative,

  Thank you for reaching out regarding ***** Pattons complaint. After reviewing the details of this situation, including the facilitys account of events, we would like to provide clarification on how this matter was handled.

  Ms. ****** won an auction for a storage unit that explicitly stated in the description that a firearm inside the unit was not for sale. Upon arriving at the facility, she completed payment but refused to allow the facility to remove the firearm, despite this being a clear requirement of the auction. The facility attempted to resolve the situation by involving another staff member, who reiterated that the firearm had to be removed per their policies. Since Ms. ****** would not comply, the unit was not canceled; instead, it was awarded to an alternate bidder in accordance with the facilitys rights as the seller.

  Ms. Pattons account was reviewed as part of our standard process, and while this was her first infraction on StorageTreasures, her actions did violate auction terms. However, after completing our standard review and reinstatement process, her account has already been reinstated. Given that all protocols were followed correctly and the matter has been resolved, we do not believe any further action is needed.

  StorageTreasures remains committed to fair and transparent auction practices, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify this matter.

  Best regards,

  After several successful auction wins from Storage Treasures my account was suspended. I won a Managers Unit and asked the front desk clerk at clean-out if she put the unit together? She told me the Manager and 'Auction Specialist' were responsible. When I went to empty the unit I found needles (looked like diabetic usage) but was surprised the manager left them in there. Then I found a jug of pee in the corner!! Who would leave needles and pee?!? If it wasn't a Managers unit, that I confirmed with the front desk, I'd be mad but still clean out the unit per rules in auctions. I tried to call the front office and just got the machine, so out of safety and just plain disgust left the unit.I contacted Storage Treasures and they said my account was suspended due to non clean-out. I emailed again 3 weeks later and was told my account can't be reviewed because it's suspended. No accountability on Manager's part in any way. I'm now using LockerFox and Self Storage Units with no problem. BE CAREFUL WITH THESE SCAMMERS!!

  Dear *****,

  Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for any frustration or inconvenience you encountered during this auction cleanout.
  After reviewing your account, we see that this was your first cleanout issue with StorageTreasures. We understand how concerning it must have been to discover unexpected items in the unit, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. However, the facility's account of events differs from what you described. Additionally, we noticed that you reached out to our support team approximately two weeks after the cleanout, which made it challenging for us to mediate the situation in real-time.

  For any future concerns, we strongly encourage reaching out to our support team immediatelyvia phone or emailso we can assist in facilitating a resolution with the facility as quickly as possible. This helps prevent discrepancies and ensures a more efficient resolution.

  Given your prior positive standing with StorageTreasures, we have reinstated your account. Additionally, we have escalated your concerns to Public Storage's upper management for further review. We truly value your business and hope to continue providing a positive auction experience for you.

  If you have any further questions or concerns, please dont hesitate to reach out.

  I e-mailed customer service on the day the incident occurred - Feb. 15th. Please check your records again as I did not wait 3 weeks for initial contact. Where is the accountability of the storage unit listing a Manager's Unit with needles and pee?

  Hello *****,

  After reviewing our records again we do see your email communication on Feb. 15th, the day the auction ended. Our apologies for the incorrect date provided in the first response. 

  As also stated in our original response, we have already shared your complaint with Public Storage's upper management, in hopes of preventing this from occurring going forward. At this time, your account has already been reactivated on StorageTreasures. We have agreed to the original resolution you requested in your complaint and do not believe there is any further action needed at this time.

  I received emails stating I was outbid and then my account was suspended. I have emailed them twice with no response. I would like to know why I am suspended first of all and second of all for a unit I didnt bid own and I communicated all of this. When I contacted a lady in regards to a the charity unit she was very rude. I would never bid my on something that takes forever to get too. My explanation didnt matter then came the threatening email. I emailed storage treasures again this morning and still nothing. I would like an answer and all my many units I have won, I have always cleaned out like I am supposed too before the days are up.

  Dear ***,

  Thank you for reaching out. We understand your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to clarify this situation.

  After reviewing your account, we verified that multiple bids were placed on the auction in question (that caused your account suspension) over several days. Because our bidding process requires bidders to confirm their bids multiple times before submission and provides reminders of our policies, we must hold all bidders accountable for picking up the units they win.

  That said, we recognize your positive history with StorageTreasures and the many successful cleanouts youve completed. As a courtesy, we have reinstated your account. However, we kindly remind you to review your bids carefully before confirming, as future instances of non-payment or non-cleanout may lead to another suspension.

  If you have any further questions or concerns, please dont hesitate to reach out to our support team. We appreciate your business and hope to continue providing you with a great auction experience.

  Jan 22 I won 3 unit auctions. The first location I went to was ********* on ********, and the regional manager happener to be there that day. She told me that she'd mark the system that I had through the end of Jan to clear out all 3 units I had won. I cleared out the unit at that location that weekend, and I believed I had more time to clear the other 2. I got a notification from storagetreasures next day that ******** reported me for failing to pick up & my acct was suspended. I have worked tirelessly to try to resolve the suspension. I called and left messages and sent emails to the Elkridge store many times. I contacted the Baltimore store and talked to associates more than once. I finally reached someone at the ******** location last week and they advised me that only that regional manager whose name is ******* can handle the resolution of the storage treasures suspension issue. I explained all of this to the staff at storage treasures at least three times either using chat or by the customer service phone number, and they have told me that there is nothing they can do until they speak with the facility manager because they take the facilities word for it always. I cannot get the public storage regional manager to call me back or email me back or contact storage treasures. So I have not been able to bid on any units and my job is at risk due to the executive orders, so I am looking to continue additional revenue streams. Another issue that just arose today- my boyfriend created his own acct and bid on 2 units. he paid for a premium acct so he could add me as an auth pickup person. After winning the units he saw my name isn't on the invoice. He chatted with storage treasures customer service and they informed him that I can't be an authorized pick up person. He wouldn't have bid had it stated anywhere that an authorized pickup person has to have their own accounts in good standing as well. Now his acct is at risk of suspension if this isn't resolved tonight.

  Dear ******,

  Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced and appreciate your patience throughout this process.

  After reviewing your account, we are pleased to inform you that your account has been reinstated. We understand how important it is for you to continue bidding and generating additional income, and we hope this resolution helps.
  Regarding your boyfriends account, we apologize for the confusion surrounding the authorized pickup process. To clarify, all authorized individuals must have an active StorageTreasures account in good standing. Since your account was suspended at the time, this impacted his ability to designate you as an authorized pickup person. However, if you could please provide us with the registered email address for his account, we would be happy to review and assist with his reinstatement as well.

  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We apologize once again for the inconvenience, and we are here to assist you further if needed.

  I won an auction but due to unforseen circumstances was unable to pickup. This is a first time occurrence for me. I have successfully paid for and cleaned out several other auctions. My account was placed in suspension. I have been trying to reach the company to appeal my solution and instead I am told to use their online chat. Which doesn't work. The person behind the email is beyond unprofessional. I would like to hear from a supervisor.

  Dear ********,

  Thank you for reaching out regarding your account suspension. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, and we appreciate your history of successfully completing previous auctions.

  As per our policies, accounts are placed on a 30-day suspension when a unit is not picked up, as fulfilling the cleanout requirement is a key part of our auction process. However, given your track record of 18 successful unit purchases, we are willing to reinstate your account early and waive the requirement to upgrade to a Pro membership. Your account is now active.

  We strive to provide clear and accessible support, and we regret any frustration you experienced while trying to reach us. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to respond directly to this message, and wed be happy to assist you.

  1. Account suspended for failure to clean out a unit ( 1 only ). 2. I injured my back and loading my truck at said unit, had to go to the ** get a ******* injection and medication along with ice heat for the next few weeks. 3. Spoke with **** of customer support. They said if I had the ********************** facility contact them as I also left that facility my cash cleaning deposit because of this that they would lift the suspension. So I contacted the storage facility and they were happy and did contact storage treasure to assist me like any decent human being would in this situation. 4. I reached out to storage treasures for and update and got a different person this time (******** *********) and they decided to completely ban my account due to my wife creating an account 2 weeks after my suspension in her name with her ID and her card ( she likes finding **** nacks for the house and she could not utilize my account at the time door to a suspension that should have never happened ), I have been very patient with this process even when ******** ********* was in no way attempting to help especially when I did exactly what they ( **** ) had asked of me along with providing medical documentation of my injury. I was polite and patient during all communications but did not receive the same in return from ******** *********. Final. My account shouldnt have been suspended in the first place.the facility itself has told you that ******** *********. To boot not only have you ******** ********* decided to indefinitely ban my account you also did the same to my wife. I am disappointed in the person you are ******** ********* but just feel bad you have stripped a hobby from my wife for no reason. You need to do better storage treasures. I have all documentation from the facility and transcripts from customer support of **********************, I have yet to decide what ( I kinda know already ) I am going to do. As I hope that they ( storage treasures ) decides to do the right thing..

  Hello ****, 

  We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and frustration this situation has caused. After reviewing your case, we confirmed that two facilities reported items were left behind following auctions you won in December. Both facilities attempted to contact you multiple times. We did not receive confirmation from either facility that you were excused from your cleanup responsibilities.

  We understand your concerns and value your prior good standing. As a resolution, we are willing to reinstate both your and your wife's accounts, with the condition that bidding activity between accounts remains separate, and all future units won are fully cleared out.

  We appreciate your patience and hope this resolution restores your confidence in us. If you have additional questions, feel free to reach out directly.

  On December 23rd I was given an offer as a backup bidder for a unit at ****. I declined the offer, because I thought PODS has too high of a cleaning deposit at $350. On December 26th they offered me the unit again through email, I accepted. On December 27th I called PODS to pay over the phone for the unit. They didn't know who they needed me to talk to. I was on the phone for over 45 minutes before I finally spoke to someone. I spoke to a **** representative who was rude and impatient with me. This person didn't like anything I politely asked, and answered me in an offensive way. Due to my experience, I told the representative I don't like what is happening, please cancel this transaction. I immediately called Storage Treasures the same day to let them know about the bad attitude and the unprofessionalism at PODS. On December 30th Storage Treasures told me my account was suspended for not cleaning the unit. On Jan 6th and 7th they told me that I needed to wait until my suspension period is over. Then they will review my account and I will need to purchase a Pro Membership if I want to be reinstated. Horrendous customer service by **********************. They are unwilling to understand and assist when you are mistreated by a facility's customer service. They are using a form of extortion by making people buy their membership if they don't have one, after their suspension period ends. This is business retaliation! This is extortion to get more money from me, by reinstating my account only if I show loyalty by becoming a pro member after my suspension period. I understand that Storage Treasures has a policy to adhere to, but suspending me immediately and being callous towards my experience at PODS is awful customer service and appreciation.There are complexities that happen that will defy written policies for every operating business. I kindly ask that the BBB look into Storage Treasures suspension policy, reinstatement practices, and company ethics.

We value your long-standing history with our platform and recognize your loyalty to our services.

  I have had issues regarding loosing or breaking cell phones over the last couple of years. That said I have lost access to multiple emails and other accounts related to security involving lost numbers and or emails. Through those processes of getting new numbers and emails I have had to set up entirely new accounts through multiple entities like storage treasures. My ex wife and myself are now being told we cannot gain access to storage treasures or their accounts due to having multiple accounts. They are unwilling to hear us out or be humane they have shut the door to talk about it so we could help them understand there is no I'll intentions or malice involved here. More or less my dumdumism not keeping track of phones and emails is the issue. Storage treasures has been the primary source of our income for many years as we are in the resale market. We have both taken a little time off but as we have finally settled after both moving we tried accessing our accounts and have hit attitude and brick walls. We love the platform but have a problem being treated the way we have today. Please help

  Dear *******,

  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We have reviewed your history with StorageTreasures and would like to clarify the reasons for the suspension of your accounts.

  Over the past few years, you have created multiple accounts with us, which is against our policy of allowing only one account per customer. This policy helps us maintain the integrity and security of our platform.

  Additionally, we found that the account under the email address ******************************* was suspended due to two auctions that you won but failed to clean out the units. Our terms of use clearly state that all won units must be cleaned out as part of the contractual agreement.

  We understand the challenges you have faced with losing access to your accounts and the impact this has had on your business. To resolve this issue, we are willing to reinstate your account under the email address *********************** provided that you agree to the following terms:
