Logistics Point – City Beverage

We were approached by Brian at The City Beverage Company, after they received disappointing service from one of our competitors.

“Billing was a big issue. As was customer service – it was pretty much non-existent – and on top of that, we had our stock split across several storage units, which were located deep in the bowels of a huge building.”

Brian saw our store driving past one day, and popped in for a chat. He was impressed with the customer service, the ease of access to his proposed unit and, best of all, the fact that we could offer all the space he needed in a single unit.

“Moving from several units to one made a big difference. Also, Attic included the use of the forklift and out of hours access in their charges. This made the solution very practical for us, compared to what we had become used to. As a small liquor distributor in London, supplying hotels and restaurants, we needed the confidence to know we could access our stock whenever our customers needed it, and irrespective of how bad traffic in London got.”

The City Beverage Company continued to store with Attic for several years, increasing and reducing space on an ad-hoc, seasonal basis before successfully selling out to Amathus in 2015. Once again, the service quality and personal relationships built up over time ensured the success of this business relationship.

The price that we quote for storage costs includes all service charges, maintenance charges, and rates and also VAT where this applies.  You will need to make sure you have a Protection Plan but we are able to arrange this for you too. Other than that, if you’re storing at Bow, you just need a padlock. You are welcome to bring your own or we do sell them in-store too if this is easier. That’s it – there are no other charges. What’s more, unlike some other companies, we provide complimentary 24-hour free access, free WiFi, use of our trolleys, and a free goods receipt and dispatch service. If you have any concerns about costs then please speak to a member of our team.

We are able to protect your goods with Protection Plan using an arrangement with our industry specialist insurance brokers. With knowledge of the self-storage industry and customer needs, in the unlikely event of loss or damage they handle and process claims quickly and with minimum hassle. We do need to charge for the administration costs of this protection and these charges will be added to your storage costs. You are perfectly welcome to take out your own insurance cover but since it is a requirement of the Self Storage Association UK, we will have to ask for evidence that you have this in place before you can move your things in. Most of our customers do however prefer to use our arrangements as it is the most convenient option.

We invoice all of our clients on a 4-weekly basis, so you’ll always make your payment on the same day every four weeks. We accept credit or debit card payments but don’t accept cash or cheques. You can manage all your payments easily from your online account.
