"Airbnb for storage" i knew you were putting in the hn title, so we could all relate, but you have that quote right on your site... are you even allowed to say that? aren't you infringing on Airbnb? i don't know about this... as others have pointed out, i wouldn't want someone sending me something illegal and getting int trouble for storing it. best of luck though.
