How to Ensure You’re Buying from a Reputable Container Company

Last Updated on July 4, 2024

It is important that you find the best reputable container company available.

Have you ever heard of the expression “Buy cheap, buy twice”? It means that if you go for the cheaper option, then often the quality of the goods is not good enough, they can often break and will not be fit for purpose. If that happens then you often have to buy the same product again to replace the broken or poor quality one. 

This problem can cause you wasted time, money and potential headaches.

Research into the container companies you wish to use is crucial and highly recommended.

What Makes a Container Company Reputable?  

Many reputable container companies have been trading for a number of years and have acquired a good number of customer Google reviews, with starred ratings. 

These container companies will also have a number of years of experience and knowledge from the container industry. For example, Billie Box has a combined 60 years of container experience and knowledge. 

A reputable container company might be part of a nationwide organisation, for example, the British Chambers of Commerce or Federation of Small Businesses. These organisations do their due diligence on any company that joins them and therefore endorse the credibility of the company. If a container company has the status of public or private limited company then that can be a good sign that they are bona fide.

We recommend you don’t just take a website’s word for it though. Do your research. Check out the Companies House register and any organisation that the company is associated with. Maybe get recommendations from friends who have used the container company’s services before. The cost of a container is a big outlay and we wouldn’t want you to be losing out.

The Risks of Buying from Untrustworthy Sources

Some traders offer poor-quality containers, and there can be hidden fees and unreliable delivery. Remember – you get what you pay for.

There are a few companies/traders that are just in it for the money. These companies don’t last long because they will let their customers down too many times and their reputation has fallen by the wayside.

We cannot stress enough that you need to do your research when buying from a reputable container company.

How to Verify a Container Company’s Reputation

We recommend you check customer reviews, ask for references, and verify certifications.

True reputable container companies will be only too glad to offer you what you need to assist you with making your decision. Unreputable container companies often can’t be bothered.
