Large, Secure, Temporary Storage On Regional Property

Jeff owns property in Rushworth, Victoria. In 2020, he planned to start building a house so needed some extra storage on his property and decided to buy a used shipping container. Because he had the space, he chose the largest standard container: a 40ft used shipping container and has since purchased a second container from us.

I knew what I wanted and started looking for someone to help

I’d already decided to buy a shipping container because of the ability to move it easily in the future. A container is more flexible than a permanent structure like a shed. And I wanted the convenience of having my belongings close by rather than in a storage facility where I’d have to travel back and forth. I started making enquiries with various suppliers and the 1300SPAREBOX team stood out above the other suppliers.

I got to see what I was buying and understood my options

The team got back to me really quickly. I felt like I was really valued as a customer right from the start. They were so informative. After discussing the options with me, Joe sent pictures of the stock from their yard explaining what the containers had previously been used for so I knew they were suitable for my belongings. Seeing a photo of the actual container I was buying was very important to me. I knew exactly what I was getting. Plus, there was lots of stock available which meant I had a choice of what to buy.

“The service was excellent from the start. I knew I could rely on the team at 1300SPAREBOX to get me what I needed”

Once I’d chosen, the rest was quick and easy

Timeframes were really crucial as I needed my belongings in storage before the start of the build and 1300SPAREBOX were able to provide that reliability for me with their service delivery. Then to top it all off, the transaction at the end was really simple as it was completed over email and text. I can’t always get on a computer so being able to sort it all out on my phone was just brilliant.

I’ll keep using 1300SPAREBOX

I’m not thinking of re-selling the container, although I could. I intend to re-purpose in the future to a workshop which would be easy to do with the help of 1300SPAREBOX’s specialist modification division.

“I knew nothing about containers or what to expect. The team explained all my options and made it all really clear so it was incredibly easy”
