[cambridge] Storage

[tamaranth]

My storage unit is empty! Yay! (Books have mostly gone, furniture was collected by local charity, there are some boxes of Miscellany in the garage and a nice chest of drawers in the downstairs study, plus two chests apparently full of bricks.)

If anyone's looking for a storage unit in the Cambridge area, I wholeheartedly recommend Megastorage in Sawston. 24-hour access, friendly service, and good rates.

Also, they emailed me this morning with this offer: "If you have any friends or colleagues to whom you can recommend our services, just ask them to mention your name when booking and we will send you a £25.00 Amazon voucher. We will also give them 2 weeks of free storage."

The first hit is free

Ooh, free storage sounds like free cigarettes, free formula milk or 6 months' interest free credit. I'm sure they're a fantastic company, but if you put stuff in storage, your chances of getting it all back out in a fortnight are not high, are they?

er, what?

I don't think there's an implication that two weeks is all you'll need (though if you were storing furniture during decorating / new kitchen / staggered move you might, and I don't see where the problem would be).

The offer reads, to me, as 'pay for two weeks less than you use'. And if you need to rent storage space anyway, why would you refuse a discount?

Hey! What could be better than to buy more books? :)

that would involve having (a) an income and (b) a place to put 'em ...

Yay: well done!

I must admit I'm not surprised it's not just me that sees the irony in them wanting to give you an Amazon voucher so you can buy more stuff...!

Well done you!
