Without a doubt, one of the best storage depots in this area. We use it for commercial and domestic storage. It is very secure, clean and the support from the staff is superb. Nothing is too much problem and they always try to help you get the best out of your storage facilities. You will not go wrong with the Poole depot and its prices are the cheapest with the best facilities, we've been with them a couple of years now - would highly recommend.

Needed somewhere to store contents of my house for 2 weeks between moves and Big Yellow made it as stress free as possible. Booking was straight forward and when we got there the staff couldn't have been more helpful. You can access your locker 24 hours a day as long as let them know so they can go through procedures with you. Just remember your own padlock so you don't have to buy one there as theirs are quite expensive.

I visit this place about once a week, the staff are nice and helpful - to a point. But my issue with the place is they never have enough trolleys and they often only have one lift working. This leads to long delays and squabbles amongst the customers over the trolleys!! They only have 6 large trolleys there, and they insist they don't have room for more, as if!! Why they don't buy more trolleys is beyond me, its like they don't want to help their customers at all. Ridiculous.

I never started using it. They surprised me with an extra £2/week for insurance. That is like £104/year. Too high a insurance for their smallest locker room - especially when the things you store does have less value.
5/5
Fantastically friendly, well priced, no nonsense - can't recommend highly enough.

I’ve used this company twice now and they’ve been fantastic both times, promptly replying to any emails I’ve sent and providing a very professional service.

Having used Big Box 4 years ago on our last downsize project I was amazed at the difference at Big Yellow. Not only did I get treated like I was a welcome customer, but the staff member who handled our enquiry had listening skills too, and managed to suit all of our requirements including price by actually talking to us. I didn't bother to go away and get another quote. None of the things I list now apply at Big Box. The storage unit and corridors are well lit, and warm. The electronic door entry and exit system is excellent and means our individual unit is alarmed not just the whole warehouse. The staff make eye contact and smile. The process is fast and sensible. The price is right. Well done Big Yellow!

I think it's a good system. I would really like the extras like the padlock and the insurance to be highlighted in BOLD pre-booking in but, overall it's good. In fact the real problem is other people. So many stupid questions make checking in difficult. Anyhoo, overall it's pretty good.

Big Yellow in Bow were clearly under a lot of pressure on a Saturday a few weeks before the start of the Olympics. While I had registered online in advance, I had to queue when I got there, but my man and van managed to unload the van onto the trolleys in the meanwhile - so I didn't really lose any time.Yes, you can save money by buying a padlock in advance (they sell them for about £15), but Big Yellow are pretty clear about that up front. All in all, for short term storage (under 4 weeks), I think it's a decent service at a reasonable price.
2/5
First time using this company. Over the phone - Great! In store - Terrible! From the moment we entered the receptionist was disgraceful. Stinking attitue and argumentative. Emailed customer services with a complaint and was told I would hear from the manager at Bow. Obviously still waiting to hear back from them weeks after. Let down and will not be using them again!
4/5
Overall it was a good experience, the facilities are modern and staff was polite. The only slight problem was that I brought a Royal Mail redirection confirmation letter as proof of address but the person signing me up was insisting that I need a bank statement even when I explained that I have pretty much everything only electronically. Eventually after minutes of pleading and a colleague coming over it was accepted and everyone was happy :)
