This week we are very excited to unveil our new logo! Take a closer look – there’s more to it than meets the eye. In fact, you are looking at an optical illusion…

What do you see when you look at this logo?

—SPOILER—

If you are like most people (or most people with a smartphone), you will see a cityscape with a location marker.

But if you step back and look again, you actually see the whole image is a suitcase!

Which one did you see first?

This logo was designed by Nathan Buckley. A massive thanks to Nathan for this clever design and all his hard work.

We are pleased to unveil the new CityStasher Guarantee. Under the terms of our Guarantee, users can rest assured that damage to their bags in storage will be covered up to £100. 

We are offering this Guarantee to reassure users that their belongings will be safe with CityStasher. But in the unlikely event that things go wrong during storage, users who follow the steps of our guarantee can claim up to £100 in compensation. CityStasher is a business built on trust. We value your peace of mind and we want you to know we’ve got you covered if an accident happens.

Please check the terms of this guarantee to find out more.

We’ve had a busy last month here at CityStasher HQ – but we’re very pleased to announce some awesome new Stashpoints. Our Kings X Stashpoint has already seen a real buzz of business. Also this week we’re delighted to announce we are the newest – and only! – left luggage provider at London Bridge station (the EBC station service has been closed due to renovations). The London Bridge Stashpoints has prime and very secure storage facilities – so we’re excited to see the bags start rolling in to London Bridge Walk. 

Business has really taken off in the last few weeks, with transactions keeping us on our toes at all our featured hosts across the capital. And we’re continuing to sign up more hosts in our quest to make dropping your bags cheap and convenient – and to make lugging bags around London a thing of the past. 

We’re proud to finally unveil our new website: www.citystasher.com! 

The new website is still a work in progress (social logins and user profiles still in the works) but all the details of the old website have been moved across. More importantly, we now have total control over the design and functionality, which means we can now build in whatever we want to! And we can act quickly on your feedback. So check it out – let us know what you think – and let us know what you’d like to see on CityStasher! Get in touch at [email protected]

A big thank you to Thanos for all his hard work in making this possible!

Here at CityStasher, we have always believed in adding a personal touch to the marketplace. This weekend, we had the chance to do just that, when one of our customers approached us with a really novel use for CityStasher – to plant clues for a treasure hunt! Her friend picked up the clues the next day – once he’d given the password to the CityStasher rep.

Natasha said this: “CityStasher offered a cheaper and much more personal service that the alternatives. They went above and beyond my expectations, tailoring their service to meet my needs exactly. I was very impressed with the  service and would absolutely use them again!“ 

The latest Budget heralds great news for CityStasher hosts! StashPoint hosts benefit from the latest tax break for ‘sharing economy’ income. This means that the first £1000 earned as a CityStasher host is exempt from taxes and doesn’t need to be declared. This comes into effect in April 2017. This policy is designed to simplify the process of making an income online. 

We are really excited by this development to encourage micro-entrepreneurship! We hope this will encourage more people to sign up as CityStasher hosts. Visit www.citystasher.com today and register for free. You could be listed in minutes – and it is such a low-effort, easy and rewarding way to make an income!

Exciting news! We’ve signed up our official tech guy. Thanos will be re-designing our website. The CityStasher app is now one step closer to becoming a reality! 

1) Price – At £5 per day, we are cheaper than all left-luggage companies. For example, Excess Baggage Co charge £6 for under 3 hours storage at all major London train stations and £11 per day.

2) Beat the Queues! – With our range of hosts, you will never have to queue to drop off or pick up. So as well as saving you money, we save you time!

3) Support Local Business – We are signing up local businesses, like Michelle’s newsagents. We take 20%, which gives 80% to our hosts. So as well as supporting CityStasher – a cool start-up – your money goes towards local London businesses.

BONUS Reason: 4) As we continue to sign up more hosts, you will have a greater range of options with CityStasher than any other left-luggage service.
