We have worked with Boxtor for several years and we needed their assistance again recently. They always provide a courteous and professional service and this time was no exception. we ordered two 20 foot containers for temporary site storage. The containers were delivered promptly and the delivery driver was clearly highly experienced and skilled at offloading. Both containers are in a 'new' state and perfectly suit our needs. Highly recommended company who offer a 5 star service from the time time they take your enquiry to the point of delivery or collection.

After searching the internet for shipping containers and finding that the cost of used ones had increased so much, we decided to purchase new ones. We made several enquiries to various shipping container companies, and found Boxtor’s LTD had the most competitive quote, and the customer service throughout the process was excellent. We received a call one hour before delivery and the HIAB driver was very precise with crane when locating the containers.

Top class service from the initial enquiry. I’ve bought a few containers in the past from different companies but I simply won’t go anywhere else now, direct to Boxtor every time. I purchased 2x 40ft containers as one trippers. They were exactly as described plus coming with lock boxes etc fitted. Do I sound a bit geeky saying they where so nice inside I thought I could move in .
