The Containers First “Standard Storage” Used Container is our most popular product in the used second-hand market as it is perfect for general storage, storing personal effects, archiving documents, storing furniture or other bulky items. This grade of container will have dents and/or patches however these will not impact on the internal storage space.

The container arrived today as planned and looks great, thank you. The main reason for this note is that I want to put a few words in for Brendan. I was very impressed with his courtesy, friendliness and professionalism. You have an excellent driver there. Thanks again, for beaut service.
