I too have had to deal with their poor accounting issues that started in 2023. They have not credited my payments numerous times which culminated in them threatening me with document shredding if my invoice was not paid again after giving them Proof of Payment twice. They also have their business account at Chase, which is the same bank I used to pay them, and ***** verified they were paid 26 days before the due date for my April invoice. I recently sent them Proof of Payment the 2nd time and was waiting to hear back from them when they simply sent me a termination notice threatening document shredding, referral to a credit agency, and even legal action. This is incredible to say the least. They have not offered to resolve the matter in a professional manner or even using common sense, like showing my payment history and I doubt they contacted ***** bank to verify payments from my business. Instead, they escalated it. I am now considering legal action since I have now paid that same invoice twice just to make sure they don't shred my documents that I have entrusted them with. The complaints on here seem to stem from accounting errors at the company, how can anyone trust documents with this company if they can't keep track of simple payments? This company should be avoided and I am in the process of terminating my account.Iron Mountain

I submitted an order request which I paid for on 6/26/24. As of today, 7/10/24, I still have not received my shred barrel. I have called customer service twice and emailed ********************** twice. They have the worst customer service I have experience, and having run a customer service in my career, I understand the nuances to getting customers request resolved so I have a little forgiveness but this has been very frustrating. Also, I placed an order 2 months ago and never received that order either. which I paid for and never was credited the funds nor given the barrel.Iron Mountain

This is the worst shredding company I have ever worked with. They have rescheduled our order 3 times. They've lied and said they tried to deliver when we were closed (but we were not closed) and the emails about rescheduling are sent after the time frame when they said they would come.Iron Mountain

Iron Mountain records shredding and storage is a scam. I requested 10 cartons in storage be delivered to the office. They charged me $1000.00 plus fuel fee. Then the next month they charged me storage for the same boxes. When I called, they told me I did not **** "permanent withdrawal" when I did the order. (you have to complete all services yourself on their website). So I sat there on the phone with the person for 20 minutes for her to click the status from checked out to permanently withdrawn. When I got my bill, they has charged me $578.00 to sit on the phone with them!They charged me $450.00 , after fees, a month for secure shredding! A service that other companies charge $60.00 per month. I requested destruction of around 200 boxes. They charged me $3258.29. THEN added: $3762.41 for Handling Fee; $1853.57 for Retrieval Fee; $162.95 Transportation Fee; $612.36 Fuel Surcharge. for a TOTAL of $9649.68. NEVER do business with these scammers.Iron Mountain

We have been a multi year customer with multiple locations. Although we knew we were paying a premium to shred, we appreciated the service. After several years of service, we decided that it was in our best interest to purchase our own shredder to save money. We originally tried to cancel the service last September but figured out several months later that they had not processed the cancellation because my manager "wasn't on the account". So after multiple calls we figure out what happened and continue with cancellation. We just received an invoice for $1,007.65 for service charges in connection with them PICKING UP THEIR CONTAINERS. There were additional charges for what was shredded. When i called to discuss with customer service there was a huge language barrier and the lady kept telling me we owed it for picking up the boxes. When i asked to speak with a manager, she simply hung up on me. This is horrible business and I hope others are aware that they will try to take advantage of you when cancelling service.Iron Mountain

Horrible company! Service has been terrible since day 1! There has not been one time at any of our locations where they have not forgotten to pick up a bin - that is if they actually show up when they are supposed to.Most recently we have placed some large orders due to a purge we are conducting prior to a remodel. We have placed orders for the pick up of skids with boxes for shredding along with the pick up of 16 full 95 gallon bins - none of which has been picked up after being promised a pick up on 3 different occasions. We asked for an additional 40 empty bins of which we only got 20. We have scheduled and rescheduled pick up and drop off times and dates and have placed the same orders in hopes of getting some type of response. We have decided to close our account and will not be paying any of the fictitious fuel charges they are adding to our bills.Stay away from this company - there is a reason they are not BBB Accredited.Iron Mountain

HORRIBLE THEY WILL charge charge charge can't prove your items exist, can't visit and you get random charges from Iron Mountain destroying boxes if my box is in Archive for 2 years untouched why woudl la box fail. This means Iron Mountain staff is taking the boxes and throwing them around. They also try to play security when they mix our boxes with others it is for safe method of storage not when you get a clients content in your items oh yes this can be no so great for some I smell legal issuesIron Mountain

Absolute CROOKS! I have been trying to get my boxes back from them for months due to price gouging. They raised our monthly fees ridiculously!! Then, in order to get my documents back, they want to charge me $10,750!! If I rent a haul and go get them myself, still over $10,550 for 304 boxes. They're literally 20 miles from my office and charging $10,000+. On top of the fact that you can't understand a word they say due to the thick accents and all the noise in the background. I am turning this over to my attorney at this point and will be contacting the local news. This "company" needs to be stopped!! All of my boxes have "destroy" dates on them, yet they never destroyed a single paper. They raised our monthly fee to $707/mo. when they knew we wanted out. I have no contract with them, yet they are charging me $7,500 for "permanent removal", plus several other obscene charges for ********. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THESE IDIOTS, EVER!Iron Mountain

I'm convinced their tactic is to make the process as frustrating as possible so customers won't ask for their money back after incorrect charges/charges for no service. The lack of communication, attention to details and transparency is the icing on the cake of reasons why I will never use or recommend Iron Mountain ever again. Stay far away unless you enjoy sending 100 emails for the same issue to be resolved.Iron Mountain
