UPDATE: BE…read moreCAREFUL!!! If you put a friend on your emergency contact, and then REFER them through their referral program (up to $100), you WILL NOT get the $100 referral bonus because they are on your 'emergency contact.' I was completely ripped off by their referral program because the person I referred was on my emergency contact list, and they are spending over $600 per month on a storage unit LONG TERM. Also, I was called by the district manager, and this sums up the phone conversation. *Ring Ring* Hello? -Yes, this is the manager for sentinel storage. Why you so unhappy? Why the google review? *Your employees didn't reveal to me that my storage rate would go up every 6 months, I'm not happy considering I plan on being there long term. Also, you ripped me off with the referral program. -Oh your not happy? How about we hold your rate until January of 2026. After that though, your rate goes up every 6 months. *Oh okay, well I'll take the lock in rate, thanks, but there's no guarantee I will stay after that* -Okay great, can you please update your google review? *Sure, but keep in mind that it's against google's TOS to ask your customers to change their review.* Company doesn't disclose the fact that they will increase your rent only 6 months after you've been there by almost 20%. This information was not portrayed to me at all upon signing my rental agreement. Sneaky business practices. Just make sure you understand that you rent WILL go up by a lot after 6-9 months. My partner and I have had nothing but troubles with this company upon joining. It took them 6 weeks to fix a lightbulb in my partners storage unit. They kept making excuses. Now the company is trying to enter my partner's unit without permission to 'fix' something and demanding he give them a key. I'm sorry, but what? Something just aint right. Pretty sure this is illegal. Hey, I may be wrong. Sorry Sentinel.

This is a long overdue review as I mentioned I'd be leaving a review based on my positive…read moreexperience with Sentinel Storage approximately a year or two ago. (July 2023?) I tried Sentinel Storage - Richmond a while back with their $1 trial as I planned on being away to Vancouver Island for a month and thought to put my things in storage. I didn't end up using the storage however although I did experience the registration and cancellation along with the tour of the storage facility. I remembered my sign up was effortless and quick. I made use of an ongoing promotion they had at the time which offered your first month for $1. (It seemed too good to be true.) It truly was $1. The staff were friendly and professional and the manager was very welcoming. They walk you through the sign up and tell you what you're signing up for, and their policies like you can't store food in your unit (understandably); you do require insurance for your items (whether by their provider or your own) however if I remembered correctly, the first month was free if the value of items was bellow a certain threshold (hence $1 was truly $1 true to the promo deals than any hidden fees). I wasn't planning on storing anything of value so I didn't need insurance for the month; I didn't end up using the storage however I did note the facility seemed clean and secure from my first and only visit. You are given a pin code for entry and you also have to bring your own pad lock for your storage unit. The unit was well sized and they have a variety of sizing to suit your needs however I just needed a small space intending to put some things from a condo while out for a couple months. In the end, I didn't use the storage and left it empty. I was out of town when renewal came about and so I emailed them requesting for a cancellation. True to their word, there was no gimmicks, ifs ands or buts - they cancelled the storage rental upon request without further billing. It was a very positive, effortless, and easy experience dealing with Sentinel Storage. Now storage services like gym subscriptions and cellphone providers can sometimes get a bad rap for hidden fees and relentless billing even after cancellation (At least so I've heard the stories - I've never had an issue with storage services in Canada for the two I've tried, and I'm not really a gym kind of person lol. Cellphones rip of customers with outrages rates compared to other countries but that's changing thankfully with more competition and regulation). It's nice to see professional services like Sentinel Storage (and another storage service in Vancouver I've formerly tried) were all honest, friendly, and professional. They provided the service that customer required and honoured their promotions and cancellation upon request as well. No false advertising and no tricks to keep customers billed for something they don't use. My experience personally at Sentinel Storage was a five star and I will certainly consider them if I require storage in the future. Thanks.

I've hired Papa's Moving for our last 2 moves and I can honestly say that the experiences were…read moreawesome. The highlights: Brent was organized and extremely helpful when I called to book; rates and expectations were clearly set out; the move confirmation email arrived quickly; for both moves I got an ETA call from the movers when they were on their way; the movers (Cody both times, and a different crew with him each time but to a man personable, respectful, well-prepared, and professional) were careful and efficient moving our belongings; the bill was exactly as expected; during our first move with Papa's we got both a friendly guide to our new neighbourhood and help re-assembling a lot of finicky furniture (that was a great introduction to Vancouver!). I highly recommend Papa's Moving. The rates are very reasonable and the service is excellent. It also feels good to support a family company of nice, helpful people that seem to genuinely care about making your move as quick and easy as possible. On my most recent move the guys even gave me a frozen water bottle- it might not sound like much, but I felt like they were looking after my things and me during the move. That feeling is priceless during stressful moving times.

Next day, NOTHING. No message, NO Call, No reaching out. GHOSTED. Still calling 2 days later and nothing. Left my family scrambling to find fine a last minute moving company that can show up same day. Thankfully we did but it ended up costing us probably an extra 300 to 500 dollars. Stay away DO NOT USE
