Storage Contaner Buyer's Guide
What should I look for in a storage container vendor?
Your storage container dealer is probably the single most important part of the storage container purchasing or leasing process. The right dealer can answer all of your questions, help you find what you need, and give you a hand if you have any problems with your storage container. The wrong dealer, though, is just interested in your money and will not provide you the service you want or need.
Consider the following things when you look for a storage container dealer.
Proximity. The closer your dealership is to the site you want your storage container, the less you will have to pay to get it transported. Anywhere from 25 to 75 miles away is close enough to keep your delivery fees reasonable.
Facilities. Because you will likely be working with a relatively local vendor, you have the luxury of visiting the dealer’s facilities. Take a tour, and try to get a feel for how they run their operation—the more organized, efficient, and honest, the better.
References. Much of the storage container industry works off of reputation and word-of-mouth. Ask your prospective dealer for a few references in which they have helped businesses with similar needs to your own. You can get a great sense of how the prospective dealer treats their customers by talking to a few on the phone.
Responses. The questions below are great questions to ask potential storage container dealers. Pay close attention to how they answer them. The quicker and more complete the answers, the better!
-Will you be willing to work with me and find a storage container solution that fits my budget?
-Do you have things like ramps, add0ons, and shelves available?
-What was the condition of the container when you received it?
-How does your billing process work?
-How long will it take you to process and deliver my storage container?
-Do you have a customer service team?
These tips should make it easier to choose between storage container vendors.
