What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Households relocating to Oxfordshire and businesses storing conference materials for extended periods feature prominently among the accounts left for this storage site. More than one review highlights the smoothness of check-in, describing the process as straightforward and clear, with paperwork handled efficiently and units ready without fuss. Several customers name Darren, James, Shane, Mark, Munashe and Marc, praising their warmth and willingness to answer questions or resolve problems quickly. Assistance with moving belongings into units comes up often, as does the offer of tea or water during visits, small gestures that reviewers say made the experience pleasant.

Customers collecting boxes and tape from the packaging supplies describe the same courteous treatment and helpful advice. The premises are described as clean and tidy, with trolleys and wagons available to shift items, and one long-standing client storing conference equipment for a couple of years highlights the consistency of service over time. A recurring theme is the team's readiness to accommodate short-notice requirements, including setting up a unit for someone arriving from abroad. The friendly, professional manner of staff and the ease of the whole process are what customers return to again and again.

I have had an amazing experience with Big Yellow moving from abroad to Oxfordshire. I worked with James who went above and beyond to get me set up with a storage unit on short notice. The staff have always been incredibly helpful and friendly! I would highly recommend going with Big Yellow.

It was a great experience dealing with Big Yellow. They are professional and very friendly. Unusually these days it was an experience I enjoyed and it was great to work with James P. I would definitely recommend them. Brian Gillies

I’ve used big yellow twice now over the past year and they’ve been excellent, customer service is always very helpful and polite. I recently spoke to James and he was very kind and reassured me about any concerns I had. He explained everything in simple yet straightforward terms helping us reach a conclusion. UPDATE: I clearly spoke too soon. I would not use this company again. I had a Direct Debit issue which the staff told me to resolve with my bank. I contacted my bank exactly as instructed and they confirmed they could not see any evidence of a failed or returned Direct Debit. Despite this, I continued receiving emails claiming my payment was overdue and directing me to make payment again as well as adding additional fees on top of the original payment. I eventually paid by bank transfer to resolve the situation, yet I was still receiving payment requests afterwards. Throughout this process I felt like my messages with customer service were not being read properly as I repeatedly had to explain the same facts without receiving a response that addressed my concerns. Customer service should investigate a customer’s account before sending payment demands or providing generic responses. The lack of communication and accountability made what should have been a straightforward process unnecessarily stressful, especially while I was abroad. UPDATE 2: The store manager contacted me personally and took the time to investigate the matter thoroughly. He explained what had gone wrong, acknowledged that the issue had not been handled as it should have been, apologised sincerely and offered a goodwill gesture. I genuinely appreciate the time he took to resolve the complaint and the professionalism he showed throughout. That said, the situation should never have reached this point. Had I simply accepted the original explanations instead of questioning them and contacting my bank, I would have been left paying fees that arose because of an internal error. I also received repeated payment demands and spent part of my holiday chasing an issue that ultimately wasn’t my fault. Mistakes can happen and I appreciate that Big Yellow took responsibility once the matter reached management. My hope is that this experience leads to improvements so that future customers don’t have to spend time proving an error that originates within the company’s own processes.
