WHAT WE'RE HEARING & EXPERIENCING WITH FLEX

Based on stories shared online, including Reddit and BBB complaints, here are some common themes of frustration with Flex Storage and Flex Moving:

Stolen Trailers & Missing Property

Disturbing reports of entire trailers full of belongings being stolen, with Flex allegedly unable to track them despite advertising GPS on "smart units." Items also reported missing or "disposed of" under questionable circumstances.

Contract & Insurance Issues

Customers reporting not receiving contracts, or terms (like cancellation policies or insurance waivers) being unclear, misrepresented, or allegedly presented fraudulently after issues arose.

Damaged Property & Poor Service

Extensive damage to furniture, homes (walls, floors, driveways), and belongings due to alleged mishandling, inadequate packing materials, untrained or unprofessional movers (reports of cannabis smell, arguments), and undersized/insufficient trailers.

Billing Discrepancies & Overcharges

Numerous complaints about being quoted one price and billed much higher, unauthorized charges, "Diamond Packages" not delivering promised services, and issues with deposit refunds or cancellation fees.

Poor Communication & Customer Service

Customers reporting extreme difficulty reaching Flex, unreturned calls, unfulfilled promises from support, and a lack of accountability for service failures or damages. Use of third-party drivers (e.g., "Curri") also cited as a point of concern.

Allegations of Unethical Practices

Claims from customers and reportedly a former employee about the company allegedly bribing or coercing customers to change negative reviews in exchange for refunds or settlements.

🚨 Claims from a Reported Former Employee of Flex Storage 🚨

An individual claiming to be a former Flex employee has alleged online (via Reddit) that:

  • Flex Storage units "absolutely have GPS," and if the company claims they can't track a unit, it may indicate other issues.
  • The company takes negative Google reviews very seriously due to its startup nature and allegedly offers incentives (like gift cards) for customers to remove them, advising customers to decline until issues are fully resolved.
  • Negative BBB reviews reportedly escalate issues to a higher level within the company.
  • The commenter described Flex management as poor and alleged "shitty ass ethics, shitty customer service, shitty managers," claiming the company "literally bribe and coerce customers for good reviews."

Note: These are allegations found online and are presented here as part of the range of customer and observer feedback. FlexStorageReviews.com cannot independently verify these claims.

PROMISES VS. REALITY: A COMMON THREAD

What Flex Storage Often Advertised or Promised
  • "Smart units" with GPS tracking, door sensors, and security monitoring.
  • Affordable, clear rates and packages (e.g., "Diamond Package").
  • Professional movers, proper packing materials, and secure handling of belongings.
  • Clear communication, reliable scheduling, and responsive customer service.
  • Secure storage, including company-provided locks and hitch locks.
The Reality For Many Flex Customers (Based on Reports)
  • No GPS Tracking or Lost Trailers: Company reportedly unable to track stolen or missing trailers, despite "smart unit" claims.
  • Billing Surprises & Unclear Packages: Significant price hikes from initial quotes, charges for unrendered services, "Diamond package" not matching promises.
  • Damage & Unprofessionalism: Extensive damage to property, homes. Movers reportedly untrained, lacking tools, or unprofessional. Use of third-party drivers with issues.
  • Communication Breakdown: Difficulty reaching support, unreturned calls, unresolved issues for extended periods.
  • Security Lapses: Trailers left unlocked, no hitch locks, items vulnerable to theft or damage. Customers reporting no contracts signed.

WHY THIS FEELS SO WRONG TO MANY

Breach of Trust & Basic Expectations: Customers pay Flex Storage for secure storage and reliable moving. Reports of stolen trailers, damaged goods, deceptive billing, and lack of accountability represent a fundamental failure to meet these expectations.
Concerns about Deceptive or Unfair Practices: The pattern of discrepancies between promises and service delivery, coupled with billing issues and alleged difficulties in resolving complaints (sometimes reportedly involving pressure to change reviews), has led many to question if Flex Storage's practices are fair, transparent, or even deceptive under consumer protection laws.

STORIES FROM FLEX STORAGE CUSTOMERS

The Stolen Trailer Nightmare (Based on Reddit Reports)

Reportedly a Customer in Ocala, FL

A customer reported online that after moving to a new home, the Flex Storage trailer containing all their belongings, including "10 years of work stuff," was stolen from their driveway. The trailer was allegedly dropped off by Flex (reportedly via a third-party service "Curri") in the evening and was gone by the next morning. The customer claimed Flex stated they were unable to track the trailer, despite their website advertising GPS on "smart units." The customer also mentioned not receiving a contract to sign and that the trailer was not locked by the delivery driver.

Online commenters, including one claiming to be a former Flex employee, suggested Flex units do have GPS and questioned the company's inability to track. Suspicions were raised by the customer and others about how a large trailer could be stolen so easily, with some suggesting an "inside job" or severe negligence by the company or its contractors.

Reported Impact: Total loss of all belongings in the trailer, significant financial and emotional distress.

The Damaged Property & Lowball Offer (BBB Complaint Summary)

Experience from a BBB Complaint (ID ending in ...7091, an example)

A customer reported extensive damage to both their former and new homes during a move by Flex Moving and Storage. This included holes in walls, scratched floors, and a ruined $4,000 sofa. Fragile items were broken despite clear labeling. Movers allegedly had a shouting match, and one suggested the customer "make them pay." Flex initially offered only $335 for all damages, advising the customer to use homeowners insurance for coverage that was reportedly never offered beforehand. The customer cited dishonest practices, unacceptable service, and poor communication.

The BBB report indicates the customer was later contacted by Flex Moving and Storage and reached a settlement, stating they were "happy with how things have been resolved."

Reported Impact: Significant property damage, initial lowball offer, eventual settlement.

Misrepresented "Diamond Package" & Incomplete Move (BBB Complaint Summary)

Experience from a BBB Complaint (ID ending in ...7091, for FlexMovers)

A customer was quoted $1,530 for a "Diamond Package" supposedly including three movers, packing services, and materials. However, only two movers reportedly completed the job (one dismissed, one late replacement), no packing materials like boxes or bubble wrap were provided, and no packing was performed by the movers. The trailer was too small, leaving furniture behind, and the kitchen was left unfinished. An extra $720 was charged then refunded, with conflicting explanations for the original charge and the "flat rate" package. Workers allegedly identified as a third-party crew and offered to finish the job independently.

The BBB report indicates the company agreed to a partial refund of $500 after review, which the customer found satisfactory.

Reported Impact: Services not rendered as promised, incomplete move, billing confusion, eventual partial refund.

Disputed Insurance Declination & Damaged Items (BBB Complaint Summary)

Experience from a BBB Complaint (ID ending in ...6225)

A customer reported items damaged (wet, broken, ripped) after their Flex Storage unit was temporarily relocated by the company. When filing a claim for $2,831, Flex Storage offered only $150, stating the customer declined additional insurance coverage. Flex provided a document with typed name/initials and a checked box declining coverage. The customer disputed signing this, stating all transactions were by phone and requested evidence of electronic or verbal declination, which was reportedly not provided to their satisfaction. The customer also sought a prorated refund for unused rental days.

Flex Storage responded that the rental agreement was sent, terms agreed to by using the service, and that they are not liable for full value compensation. The BBB complaint status is "Answered," with the customer rejecting responses due to lack of proof regarding the signed declination.

Reported Impact: Damaged items, dispute over insurance coverage declination, alleged fraudulent documentation, unresolved claim.

Alleged Bribery for Review Change & Poor Service (BBB Complaint Summary)

Experience from a BBB Complaint (ID ending in ...0836)

A customer described a "nine hour move" for what they considered a small amount of items over a short distance, with damaged furniture (torn leather sofa, chipped chest, scratched recliner). After receiving an initial claim settlement of approx. $530 and posting a 1-star review, the customer alleged Flex's "Internet team" offered an additional $300, and then the full move fee back, IF they would change their rating to 4 stars. The customer called this "bribery" and unethical, stating they declined because they didn't want others deceived. They also noted not being offered additional insurance.

Flex Storage responded that compensation was not conditional on review changes and that the customer declined to resolve the issue. The customer rejected this, reiterating the "bribe" claim. The BBB status is "Answered."

Reported Impact: Damaged furniture, lengthy move, disputed claim amount, allegations of unethical review practices.

FLEX'S EXPLANATIONS VS. CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES?

Common Points of Contention

If Flex Said: "You digitally signed the agreement / declined insurance"

Some Customers Felt: "I booked over the phone! I don't remember signing or seeing that document. The 'signature' is just typed, or the IP address/timing seems off. I wasn't clearly offered extra insurance." (See BBB Complaint 23036225 & Reddit discussions on lack of contracts).

Contract Validity Questions
Insurance Declination Disputes
If Flex Said: "Quotes are estimates; final cost is hourly / flat rate package terms apply"

Some Customers Felt: "The final bill was drastically higher than quoted with no clear explanation. Or, the 'flat rate package' didn't include services promised, or movers wasted time / were inefficient, inflating hours." (See BBB Complaints 23121428, 23167091, 22946905).

Billing Disputes
Quote vs. Actual Cost
If Flex Said: "Damage compensation is $0.60/lb per state law / We offered above liability"

Some Customers Felt: "That barely covers anything for valuable or new items! My $4000 sofa, antique table, or brand new driveway repair costs way more. The 'above liability' offer was still insultingly low, or tied to changing my negative review." (See BBB Complaints 23089149, 23076769, 23016062, 22970836).

Damage Claim Dissatisfaction
Lowball Settlement Offers
If Flex Said: "We cannot track the unit / Unit was left unsecured by customer"

Some Customers Felt/Reported: "Your website advertises GPS and secure units! A former employee claims GPS exists. Your driver (or third-party driver) left it unlocked or didn't secure the hitch. How is its theft my fault?" (See Reddit discussions on stolen trailer).

R1
User "Last-Statistician758" (Claiming to be Former Flex Employee on Reddit)
Posted approx. late 2024/early 2025
Reddit r/ocala (example source)

"Used to work at Flex... units absolutely have GPS... If they say they can't track it, something else is going on. Write a terrible 1 star review on their google reviews. They are a startup and cannot afford to have them... When they offer you a gift card to remove it, decline removing it until things are right. If they take too long, write a negative BBB review, it gets it escalated... They literally bribe and coerce customers for good reviews. Shitty ass ethics, shitty customer service, shitty managers."
