Here are three simple tips from the team at Shipping Containers of Felixstowe.

Watch out for prices that look too good to be genuine Beware of companies selling containers for suspiciously low prices. With the rise in demand for containers and the impact of the pandemic on the economy, container prices have gone up industry-wide.

Shipping Containers of Felixstowe offers fair prices that reflect the market average and work with you to find a quality container that fits your budget.

Check their credentials. Legitimate companies will have all their info on their website, including their company name, address and registration number.

Be cautious of sellers on Facebook, as we've had many reports of buyers getting scammed after ordering through a Facebook Marketplace listing.

They may not be the real deal if you can't find their company information on their website.

Go directly to the source Scammers often use third-party websites to sell their containers, so it's best to purchase from a company's website.
