Effortless

WOW!
What a truly effortless process ordering a container from Adaptainer.
Never having purchased a container before, I had a few misgivings in the process and whether I'd actually get what I bought and paid for.
Every single element of the process was easy from placing the initial enquiry, placing the order, all the way through to the container arriving on site.
The transport company was excellent in communicating with us, actually organising the delivery for a day earlier than expected, the driver called us when he was 1/2 an hour away, and his expertise in siting the container next to a busy road was 100% professional and second to none.
All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend using Adaptainer if you need a container, as they made the whole process effortless.

Having never bought a container before…

Having never bought a container before I was nervous about the process but luckily I happened across Adaptainer. Of all the companies I spoke to they were not only the easiest to deal with and were happy to work with a one time buyer, rather than a business buying multiple, but they made the process very easy AND the price was the best I could find online.
I was concerned the haulage company would struggle to get it in where we wanted as access was limited but he did it all within 20 minutes, so special mention to them also.

All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adaptainer.

I don't usually review companies so it's saying something that I'm leaving this review but as others have said service like this deserves to be acknowledged.

Great company would use again

I ordered two 20ft containers for two different sites through Adaptainer. After I got the quote from them which I was pleased with and very reasonably priced too.
After that their sales team took over and comminated with me all the way through the process
with updates on the order, dispatch, arrival times
and then phoned up on the day after the delivery had been taken to ensure that everything was as expected.
credit to Adaptainer sales and aftersales teams not many companies' give that amount of support to their customers "outstanding"
If in the future I needed any more i would Definitely be using them again

XL vents and easy open handle

Hello, so I have so far purchased 8 containers through adaptainer, dealing with Victoria throughout all of these I believe.

So the containers themselves are very high quality , with the added benefit of two features.

The first being the XL vent system, this makes so much sense to us as we are a storage facility, containers are in rows , meaning this system allows for air to slow from the front to the back of the container (something that can be explained and understood by a potential customer as a benefit)

The other main benefit is that the XL containers have what I call easy open handles (just one handle on the right) so customers don’t have to learn the knack of opening a container and also older customers find it easier to open as there is more leverage on the handle , due to the length being longer.

Another thing to note is after sales. I did have an issue with with one of the containers having a lock box that didn’t quite accept a large container lock. I spoke to Victoria about this issue and she sent someone out pretty quickly to sort the issue out. It’s good when a company takes responsibility and stands by there product.

Thanks Matt

🤬stay clear

🤬stay clear, please. i bought a container from these guys and when i emailed to find out when it will be delivered, i was told by someone called Ashley that the depot was yet to dig out a container that they had in mind. Basically telling me that they did not sell to me a particular container but rather any crap they can think of once they get my money. At the same time, this guy was trying to sell to me a more expensive container.

I also paid for the csc (ensuring container can be used for shipping) the container got delivered looking like something out of a whole but I was assured that it was safe for shipping.
The following day when we went into the container, we discovered that one of the boards in front was rotten in some places. It was so bad, just stepping on it caused two holes. Yes, the floor was that bad. I do not understand how this could have been missed by the person who carried out the CSC inspection. unless no inspection was done in the first place.

To make matters worst, I have been accused of lying. They said that something very heavy had landed on the floor. Mind you, it will take a very heavy metal object like a car engine dropping from a height taller than the height of a container to make a hole in a good container floor. I have mended the floor with a metal sheet and I want compensation. I have also asked that someone be big enough to at least accept that they may have made an error because I am very angry for these things to call me a liar.

Thanks for your feedback. We investigated your complaint, and I am happy to share some facts about the case:

I see you ordered a second-hand ex-shipping line container from us as an alternative to a new Adaptainer built container. However, after your order was placed you indicated that you were somewhat particular about the condition of the container you would receive (beyond it being supplied in watertight and seaworthy condition) so we recommended upgrading to an Adaptainer new build container to better meet your needs. You preferred however to proceed with the lower cost used ex-shipping line container option.

The container was delivered, and you signed delivery acceptance of the unit before the driver left the site. Approximately 7-days after delivery you contacted us to report damage which had been caused to the ply hardwood floor of the container whilst it was in your possession. You told us that the damage was the result of you stepping on the 28mm thick hardwood, rather than any accidental damage caused during the loading of heavy cargo.

To put this claim in perspective, we have not encountered a customer issue such as this in more than 30+ years supplying containers. However, we took your claim very seriously since all containers are inspected prior to delivery. Your container had also been checked according to strict CSC requirements by an engineer and these checks included the floor area. The certification guarantees the container to be structurally sound and in seaworthy condition before it leaves our depot. Photos of the damage were requested from you, and we were eager to investigate.

After a senior engineer reviewed the photos which I may add is part of the Port of Felixstowe (Britain’s largest container port) who also carried out CSC inspection on your container prior to delivery. They advised they could clearly see fibres in cracks of the floor puncture. The engineer indicated that the damage was very likely to have been caused by a heavy item being loaded and lowered on a corner because if wood is rotten, you would not see fibres in the cracks of a puncture. Just to clarify we make sure that only the best technicians survey our equipment, Port of Felixstowe are governed by the highest standards of inspection and repair.

Brilliant service

The service I received from start to finish was brilliant. Very responsive to emails and questions fully answered. Bearing in mind the isolated location and difficult access track, the haulage driver was brilliant too.
Absolutely no complaints.

Fantastic customer service

Fantastic experience ordering 2 containers from this company. Great customer service. Due to issues at my football ground (that took months sorting out) adaptainer were understanding and kept in touch. The containers I ordered finally arrived a few days ago on the day expected and look great. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We will certainly be using them again when replacing other containers.

Poor service

Ordered a 20ft HC container and after nearly 3 weeks found out the company couldn’t provide it for another 3 weeks and was offered a shabby second hand one as an alternative… no thank you
Went to Billie Box containers, I’ve used them before and although slightly more expensive very good quality and dependable

Thank you for your post. After reviewing your order we discovered the following:

We fulfilled the first container in your order, which included a free upgrade to a more expensive type of container.

Regarding the second customised size container in your order, there was an unexpected delay so we again offered the option of a better container than the one you ordered to help meet your delivery timescale needs.

We explained the second container, which would have also been a free upgrade, had a little cosmetic damage but was fully watertight. I am sorry if there was a misunderstanding regarding the value of this goodwill gesture we made.

A refund was swiftly processed for the unused part of your order at your request.

We are glad you were able to source another option (albeit at a higher price as you mentioned, and lower specification).

And your feedback is important to us. We will certainly look to see if there is anything we could have improved about communicating our best efforts to find a solution to your needs.

You are more than welcome to contact us for any future container requirements, we have a current rating of 98% on-time delivery.
