Storage Vendor Bills Diverge From Written Quotes With No Itemization Access

A long-time storage container customer received a written transit quote that was billed at more than double, followed by an unexplained 51% rate increase, while portal access needed to review itemized charges was locked and password resets failed. Account cross-linking errors and an inability to reach a human able to correct the billing left the dispute unresolved.
