Delivery was made to a tight location… Read more

without fuss and the driver could not do enough for us. I would not hesitate recommending Container Traders for the supply of one or more containers. Thank you to Amy and her team for a fantastic outcome.

We recently purchased four shipping containers from Container Traders and couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Amy was incredibly helpful and professional.

My 20ft container was delivered this morning. A huge shout out to Fred who delivered our container. He is such a calm meticulous driver and obviously respects the truck as well as our property.

Great sales service from Sam. He consistently responded to my questions within 24 hours, even when I had several technical queries. The 40ft two‑door side‑opening container is perfect for my workshop setup, with the side doors opening neatly into my existing shed. Delivery was right on schedule, and the container was positioned within 1 cm of the… Read more ·  1

Excellent, prompt and polite services from Lachlan. We took forever to get it all sorted, but it was never on Container Traders always on govenment doing what they promised over 12 months ago. Everything arrived as ordered and as measured, everywhere else I tried there were compromises to be made for a simple custom order, but here nothing but… Read more ·  1

Outstanding services from Amy and her team. They took the time to listen, understand my specific needs and gave me quality advice to make informed decisions. Ended up buying a container from them instead of renting. Amy was onto it right away, regular communications to updates us and the container was delivered faster than what we anticipated. Show reply

Purchase of container feedback – We were in the market for a 20ft shipping container. And after talking to a number of people it became obvious that there is a perception out there, that one need to be aware of scammers. Not being experienced in container purchasing, we went with… Read more ·  1

our gut feeling. Ringing a few companies researched online, we came across Lachlan from container traders. From the word go he was providing us with good suggestions on different options we discussed. And as we are like most people these days are on a budget we worked out an acceptable price on a single use 20ft container in a suitable dark grey Color to be delivered to our property approx 350km from their depot. Long story short, from the initial conversation through to the delivery as well as follow-up afterwords it was a great and uncomplicated experience to deal with Lachlan from container traders.

 Follow-up  · I was asked to provide a few lines regarding some follow up requests based on the initial review based on the following questions. What was the payment process? If memory serves, it was either over the phone or online. Either or, it was straight forward and with no fuss. What delivery options were available? We left it up to the supplier after… Read more

100% happy with our delivery, we got 2 x new 20" containers for our store and Container traders where very helpful with the best price for containers and delivery. we had quick response to all enquiries and quote requests. we had roof vents… Read more ·  1

installed which was done very well with top quality work. containers are only 3 months old and in great condition and there delivery was arranged quickly and delivered right on my position marking. was a bit nervous with ordering online with so many scams at the moment but i can confirm these guys are legit and a great deal and very helpful to rush delivery and get these in before Christmas.

 Follow-up  · we had the roof vent installed which was done very well, no leaks and the vent was super easy to attach after it was delivered with no leaks and definitely keeps the temp a lot lower inside. having the lock box cover installed was a bonus as i was not expecting it and makes it a lot safer knowing no one can easily cut the locks off. still very happy we went through this company

Amazing Service – We researched many companies to purchase two containers to temporarily store our household contents for our move to Sydney so we were very mindful of receiving containers that were watertight, vermin and insect proof. Also price played a part in it. We found Container Traders and in particular Amy, described the containers we would receive in… Read more ·  1

detail. They were very responsive to our initial enquiry as well as the numerous questions we had following. Nothing was a problem for them. We received responses to our emails almost immediately each time which was reassuring to us. The containers were delivered on time and placed exactly where we asked them to be placed. The truck driver was very nice to deal with and helpful and he ensured the containers were placed as level as possible and as close together as possible. To our pleasant surprise the containers we received were brand new! (the smell of fresh paint inside was evident) the floor was brand new, they were water tight, vermin and insect proof and it was everything as promised by Container Traders (Amy) Container Traders pricing was very competitive with the 6 or so quotes we received elsewhere, and elsewhere were being offered second hand or repainted used containers. Delivery of the containers was almost half the cost other businesses were offering us and the communication we received elsewhere was no where near as good as Container Traders. We had some last minute issues with our move (it had nothing to do with Container Traders) and we contacted Amy to see if she could help, Amy and the management team were amazing, they were so understanding of our situation and as per all the other times we contacted them, nothing was a problem and the issue with our move was resolved within hours. We highly recommend Container Traders to anyone looking to purchase or hire a container. If we ever need a container we will definitely be contacting Container Traders

purchase of a 40ft high cube container – I started discussing my container requirements with Alec last year, but the delay was me setting up the area for it. When I again contacted Container Traders Lachlan took over as Alec was still on holidays. Lachlan was very easy to chat to (as was Alec), very informative & helpful. After a few emails Lachlan had me all sorted out & sent me an… Read more ·  1

invoice which I paid via bank transfer. This was Thursday afternoon, I sent Lachlan a copy of the transfer receipt & he confirmed a few minutes later that delivery would be the Monday morning....wow, that was quick. Thank you very much Lachlan. On Fri I received a call from the driver to confirm some details & said he would be at my place by about 8.30 on the Monday morning. He was here just after 8, The container is in really solid condition as they indicated, even wife said it's in better condition than the one I had in Sydney for over 12 years. When I can I will have it put into position by crane (side loader truck unable to position where I needed it, I expected this before purchase. Thank you very much Container Traders, highly recommend your staff & your containers.

from Service and friendliness to professionalism – I had the need to find an alternative to a shed, and something that was not easily stolen, and I was told to look for a shipping container, for three months I searched and found many in my local area that were simply asking far too much for a third rate beat up or top rate container, and I could not justify the prices that were on offer.

to the Capital city of Australia has a price gouge automatically included. Then I found Shipping container traders dot com, and the service i got, the friendliness was still there i when i was unsure about the purchase, as I knew so little except for photos compered from other sites. The gentleman bent over backwards to get me a container that would fit into my budget. So I ordered and half expected a container full of dents or rust but what arrived was as close to perfect as could be. I will try to add a photo at a later time, but when it is moved into position where I can then put my mobile home next to.

QUALITY OF MODIFICATIONS – Raymond Terrace Lions Club/Raymond Terrace Men's Shed this month placed an order with Container Traders to provide a single use high cube container, modified with a personal access door and an 2000x1200 top hinged servery door. The container is to be fitted out and used as a kiosk for Driver Reviver. Delivery was almost two weeks behind agreed… Read more

date. The gas struts on the servery door were so strong that an elephant would almost needed to pull it down and needed to be replaced with those of suitable pressure. One of the slide bolt used to secure this door would not engage and had to be modified. The personal door locking system was not up to requirements considering the container will be located unattended most of the time as a Transport for NSW rest area, and the deadlock part of the lock does not engage. If we were to start over we would look elsewhere.

Leaking container which ruined precious possessions – Absolutely disgusted by the state of the containers in which I paid good money. I was guaranteed the containers, of which I purchased 3 where cargo worthy. I’m sure leaking containers would not be classed as cargo worthy. After finally agreeing to collect the container that leaked and refund me in full, I’m still waiting for the refund!!! I would… Read more

not recommend anyone to purchase a container through container traders. The trade manager is one of the most frustrating people to deal with I have encountered in my years as a consumer. Still waiting for the refund the trade manager promised me and they have my container. Go figure that for good consumer relations.

Buyer beware – Purchased an ex freezer container and thought I was receiving a quality box. Unit has leaked water in and upon inspection, has holes which have been half arsed fixed with silicon. Some were missed and the rain has seeped into the roof and down the internal walls. Contacted the company, was offered a refund of 300, after multiple times of not receiving any money, finally got the money. Pretty poor condition for a 7000 dollar box.
