New SmartStop Ad Warns About Storing Stuff With Strangers
SmartStop Self Storage is pushing back when it comes to "peer-to-peer storage." There are a number of companies now that connect people with extra space in their homes, garages, sheds, or driveways with people who need space for storage. Most of these online marketplaces promise extra income for those with space, and cheaper storage for those needing space.
SmartStop says there are a number of potential problems with this solution, however, which are highlighted in the ad.
"The idea of stashing your extra belongings in a stranger’s spare room or garage might sound adventurous, but let’s not forget the potential pitfalls lurking behind those charming offers," writes SmartStop. "From uncertain access times to questionable spaces and delayed responses, the gamble of peer-to-peer storage isn’t always worth the risk. Instead, why not treat your treasured possessions to the gold standard of storage solutions? Professional self-storage facilities offer unparalleled security, cleanliness, and convenience, ensuring that your belongings are in safe hands without the hassle of navigating strangers’ schedules or spaces."
