EXPENSIVE AND NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE – We purchased a 20ft container which was very expensive but was guaranteed water tight and vermin proof. The moment we paid the amount required we had to chase them. Once they delivered the container it came with a hole in the floor and every panel was damaged. The inside of the container was container was covered in cement dust. We contacted… Read more
Container Traders and they refuse to call us back or talk to us. DONT BOTHER WITH THIS COMPANY THE CONTAINERS ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING FIT FOR PURPOSE.
It was a pleasure working with the team at Container Traders. From the outset, their customer service was excellent, and the entire process was handled professionally and efficiently. Access to our delivery site was well coordinated, ensuring the delivery went smoothly. The container we received is in excellent condition and fully sealed… Read more
internally, making it an ideal solution for our school’s storage needs. We are very pleased with both the quality of the container and the service provided by Container Traders and would happily recommend them to others.
The recent purchase of a 20ft Cargo Container was made easy with pleasant and prompt service. A big thanks to Nicky from Container Traders for helping make the process run smoothly. Delivery was handled efficiently and the delivery driver unloaded the Container right on the mark first go. Happy with the quality of the container and would not hesitate to recommend Container Traders to anyone looking for a decent shipping container.

I bought a container 5 years ago and it's a piece of rubbish. After 5 years, the roof is rusted through and falling in. The walls are all rusting through too. I have had to put colorbond over the top. Even if there were leaves on the roof, that doesn't explain the walls rusting through too. I should never have got them to paint it, it hid the rust. I would never recommend this company.
Awesome communication prior to delivery to ensure there was no issues. And great after delivery service to make sure I was happy. Driver worked with me and delivered in the perfect spot on my drive. Whole process went smoothly. Highly recommend. Show reply

We recently purchased four shipping containers from Container Traders and couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Amy was incredibly helpful and professional. They provided a competitive price and were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Customer service was outstanding, friendly, reliable, and easy to deal… Read more · 1
with throughout the entire process. Delivery was efficient and arrived when promised.
Most importantly, the containers themselves were in excellent condition, exactly as described. Its clear they take pride in the quality of their products.
We highly recommend Container Traders to anyone looking for a smooth, stress-free experience and value for money. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again in future!
My 20ft container was delivered this morning. A huge shout out to Fred who delivered our container. He is such a calm meticulous driver and obviously respects the truck as well as our property. I also want to say what a pleasure it was dealing with Amy Crossan. She is very professional and efficient, with warmth and friendliness to her, making it… Read more · 1
an easy process dealing with Container Traders. Thank you for your continued communication from initial enquiry through to final delivery.
Spoke too Lachie and got a container from him delivered on time with good communication. Show reply
Fantastic rapid replies for pricing and availability and next day delivery to remote location. Highly recommend to others for service and product availability and quality. Thanks Lachlan and team Show reply
Great sales service from Sam. He consistently responded to my questions within 24 hours, even when I had several technical queries. The 40ft two‑door side‑opening container is perfect for my workshop setup, with the side doors opening neatly into my existing shed. Delivery was right on schedule, and the container was positioned within 1 cm of the… Read more · 1
exact spot I requested. You can have complete confidence in Container Traders as a legitimate and reliable business. I can’t recommend them highly enough, and I would gladly work with them again if I ever need another container.

Excellent, prompt and polite services from Lachlan. We took forever to get it all sorted, but it was never on Container Traders always on govenment doing what they promised over 12 months ago. Everything arrived as ordered and as measured, everywhere else I tried there were compromises to be made for a simple custom order, but here nothing but… Read more · 1
saying "yes we can do that" and cost was on par or better than any alternatives.
No hesitation to recommend them to anyone.
Friendly staff. Good Quote. Delivered as promised more words. more words Show reply
Outstanding services from Amy and her team. They took the time to listen, understand my specific needs and gave me quality advice to make informed decisions. Ended up buying a container from them instead of renting. Amy was onto it right away, regular communications to updates us and the container was delivered faster than what we anticipated. Show reply

Communication from Amy was fantastic. The container is in great condition for second hand and the driver David was so professional in the delivery and positioning of the container. Thank you. Show reply
Excellent and very personal service. The container was delivered right on the time they said it would arrive and was put exactly where I wanted it. Perfect. Show reply
I dealt with Sam that gave a good price, including delivery, 50km from the depot and was more than reasonable. Driver made sure it was placed exactly as requested. Am ordering again :) Show reply

We Can't fault Container Traders!! We dealt with Sam who was very helpful, he also organised the transport (All States towing, also professional). The containers arrived in the condition they'd been described to me. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Container Traders. Many Thanks!! Show reply
Follow-up · Delivery time frame was as per organised. Cost was within our budget and as per quoted, no hidden costs. Container placement couldn't have been closer to desired location.
Could not be better – Had these containers delivered this morning. The whole experience was great, the containers are perfect and the delivery driver was fantastic - skilled, very helpful and professional. Show reply
Follow-up · Currently I have one as secure storage for tools etc. The other I have lined, insulated, and turned into a site office. The office is built without and penetrations, it has a window when the doors are open. Once I have finished with t as an office I can strip out the lining and will have pristine container again.
I purchased a high cube 40ft container for the use by my Tree Service business from these guys. Needed to be delived to Armidale NSW. I have been hesitant in the past due to the number of Shipping container scams on the web. The quote from container… Read more · 1
traders was better than local purchase and delivery by a large margin. It seemed too good to be true. This company is legit. Lachlan and his staff were efficient and friendly. Hunter Haulage were tasked with the delivery. The truck driver was excellent. He notified me that he was nearing my place and we sorted out the procedure ( residential corner block in town). The driver skillfuly deposited the container, gave me options and made sure that i was ok with its positioning etc. I totally recommend Container traders. Luke. (Skytask Tree Services)
Follow-up · Container was on time. Payment process was smooth and the container was in great condition. Totally weather proof- tested with 3 rainstorms, completely dry inside.

QUALITY OF MODIFICATIONS – Raymond Terrace Lions Club/Raymond Terrace Men's Shed this month placed an order with Container Traders to provide a single use high cube container, modified with a personal access door and an 2000x1200 top hinged servery door. The container is to be fitted out and used as a kiosk for Driver Reviver. Delivery was almost two weeks behind agreed… Read more
date. The gas struts on the servery door were so strong that an elephant would almost needed to pull it down and needed to be replaced with those of suitable pressure. One of the slide bolt used to secure this door would not engage and had to be modified. The personal door locking system was not up to requirements considering the container will be located unattended most of the time as a Transport for NSW rest area, and the deadlock part of the lock does not engage. If we were to start over we would look elsewhere.

Leaking container which ruined precious possessions – Absolutely disgusted by the state of the containers in which I paid good money. I was guaranteed the containers, of which I purchased 3 where cargo worthy. I’m sure leaking containers would not be classed as cargo worthy. After finally agreeing to collect the container that leaked and refund me in full, I’m still waiting for the refund!!! I would… Read more
not recommend anyone to purchase a container through container traders. The trade manager is one of the most frustrating people to deal with I have encountered in my years as a consumer. Still waiting for the refund the trade manager promised me and they have my container. Go figure that for good consumer relations.

Buyer beware – Purchased an ex freezer container and thought I was receiving a quality box. Unit has leaked water in and upon inspection, has holes which have been half arsed fixed with silicon. Some were missed and the rain has seeped into the roof and down the internal walls. Contacted the company, was offered a refund of 300, after multiple times of not receiving any money, finally got the money. Pretty poor condition for a 7000 dollar box.

Amazing Service – We researched many companies to purchase two containers to temporarily store our household contents for our move to Sydney so we were very mindful of receiving containers that were watertight, vermin and insect proof. Also price played a part in it. We found Container Traders and in particular Amy, described the containers we would receive in… Read more · 1
detail. They were very responsive to our initial enquiry as well as the numerous questions we had following. Nothing was a problem for them. We received responses to our emails almost immediately each time which was reassuring to us. The containers were delivered on time and placed exactly where we asked them to be placed. The truck driver was very nice to deal with and helpful and he ensured the containers were placed as level as possible and as close together as possible. To our pleasant surprise the containers we received were brand new! (the smell of fresh paint inside was evident) the floor was brand new, they were water tight, vermin and insect proof and it was everything as promised by Container Traders (Amy) Container Traders pricing was very competitive with the 6 or so quotes we received elsewhere, and elsewhere were being offered second hand or repainted used containers. Delivery of the containers was almost half the cost other businesses were offering us and the communication we received elsewhere was no where near as good as Container Traders. We had some last minute issues with our move (it had nothing to do with Container Traders) and we contacted Amy to see if she could help, Amy and the management team were amazing, they were so understanding of our situation and as per all the other times we contacted them, nothing was a problem and the issue with our move was resolved within hours. We highly recommend Container Traders to anyone looking to purchase or hire a container. If we ever need a container we will definitely be contacting Container Traders
purchase of a 40ft high cube container – I started discussing my container requirements with Alec last year, but the delay was me setting up the area for it. When I again contacted Container Traders Lachlan took over as Alec was still on holidays. Lachlan was very easy to chat to (as was Alec), very informative & helpful. After a few emails Lachlan had me all sorted out & sent me an… Read more · 1
invoice which I paid via bank transfer. This was Thursday afternoon, I sent Lachlan a copy of the transfer receipt & he confirmed a few minutes later that delivery would be the Monday morning....wow, that was quick. Thank you very much Lachlan. On Fri I received a call from the driver to confirm some details & said he would be at my place by about 8.30 on the Monday morning. He was here just after 8, The container is in really solid condition as they indicated, even wife said it's in better condition than the one I had in Sydney for over 12 years. When I can I will have it put into position by crane (side loader truck unable to position where I needed it, I expected this before purchase. Thank you very much Container Traders, highly recommend your staff & your containers.
