At Store-it we want everything to be legit. Everything needs to be legal from the way we do our business to what you store, which is why it’s prohibited to place any illegal or other inappropriate items in storage.

If you’re found to be breaking our storage policies, please note that we’ll immediately terminate your storage contract. Our aim is to keep everyone safe and by storing illegal goods, you’re putting other people and their belongings in danger too.

If you have any doubts whatsoever with regards to what to store and what not to store when using self-storage, please contact one of our friendly staff members who’ll be more than happy to help because like they say – it’s better to be safe than sorry.
