Jonah was great. I was extremely cautious because I’d read the container industry had been the subject of scammers. He reassured me providing a number of options. I won’t share them here. Jonah will be able to reassure you if you have concerns. The container arrived with no fuss accompanied by a highly professional driver who navigated the tricky location we placed it in. Yes I would recommend these guys and maybe some girls.

I was previously scammed by an unscrupulous operator when I tried to buy a shipping container, which left me wary of every seller after that; industry-wide reports and lists show these scams are a real problem for buyers in Australia.

Shipping Containers Brisbane Pty Ltd restored my faith by doing everything humanly possible to assure me they were legitimate, communicating clearly, providing verifiable details, and following through on every promise.

Thomas from the Brisbane office truly went above and beyond in helping me; he patiently answered every question, and personally coordinated the delivery with me so I could feel secure about the purchase. The level of care and professionalism I experienced turned a stressful situation into a straightforward, trustworthy transaction.

Their website and presence check out as legitimate according to independent site-safety checks, which helped reassure me further before I paid.

I strongly recommend Shipping Containers Brisbane Pty Ltd to anyone who wants a reliable, honest supplier—especially if you’ve had bad experiences before.

Extremely happy from start to end with the services provided by Kelly and Sam. I was very apprehensive due to the lack of google reviews and so many google articles on container scams. Kelly understood my concerns and ensured I was well informed through the whole process and went above and beyond ensuring she touched bade with me up until delivery and then through pick up, transport, drop off and return of the container. Highly recommend BoxMate. Co tainer was in decent condition with a bit of rust but sound structure and no moisture issues. Great timely service, communication and delivery of our container with all our goods in one piece. Would use them again if needed. The drop off and pick up companies used were both friendly and accommodating and the pricing was fair and competitive. Thanks again!
