What time will my unit arrive?

Customers will be advised by text message the evening before their delivery of an accurate delivery time. 

Please note that drivers may be held up due to unforeseen circumstances like heavy traffic and may arrive slightly later than expected. 

If this does happen, our driver will call you and keep you informed. For this reason, we do ask our customers not to arrange their storage for the day of completion on a house sale.

Will my goods get damp or mouldy?

Our units are kept inside our purpose built warehouses at all times.

Whilst in store, we will only remove a unit from our warehouse should a customer require access which can take place under cover. At no time will any unit be left exposed to bad weather.

Can I use my own or a third party insurance?

Yes, StoreProtect is mandatory unless you provide written evidence that you have obtained insurance from a third party.

Are my goods insured?

Kelly’s offers enhanced liability protection under StoreProtect, which provides similar protection to insurance. You will be prompted during the quote/booking process to tell us the value of your goods and your sales adviser will add this to your quotation. It’s essential you declare a value which is high enough to include all stored goods.

We do recommend our loading service as we cannot be liable for damage that comes about as a result of the way you packed the unit.

Can someone access my unit on my behalf?

If you wish to allow friends, family members, or a third party to access your unit we will require permission from you to confirm this. 

Please note that for your protection, Kelly’s will require suitable proof of identity from the person accessing the unit(s) or they will be turned away.
