Conclusion
Reviews indicate Safestore locations commonly receive positive marks for helpful, efficient staff and clean, secure units. Many customers report straightforward access and available moving equipment, and some note competitive local pricing or discounts. However, several reviews raise concerns about billing, cancellation and contract‑termination rules, including pro‑rata refunds and notice periods — check the termination terms before signing. When evaluating Safestore, confirm access hours, ask about refund and notice policies, and get written confirmation of final charges to reduce risk of disputes.
