Why Customers in Salem Choose Get Simple Box

For Homeowners:

Residents of West Salem, South Central, and Bush Park neighborhoods often use our 40ft containers for home projects. Justin, a local in South Salem told us:

“Simple Box of Salem was fantastic to work with. From the first phone call to walking us through all the options and price, our experience was great. The driver did an amazing job getting the 40’ container behind our barn through very tight spaces. If you are considering a conex box you need to give Simple Box a call.!”

For Contractors and Job Sites:

Whether working on heritage homes near Court-Chemeketa Historic District or new builds in Northgate, Salem contractors appreciate the ability to store tools and materials securely on-site.

We looked around for a while for a good shipping container. We went over to Simple Box and found what we were looking for.
The salespeople were fantastic to work with, and the delivery was fast.
Thank you, guys, for the amazing service and produce. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them again.

For Restoration Companies:

“These guys are amazing, professional, and extremely experienced. They moved a 40′ container and a 20′ container and placed it next to my shop with 6 inches on both sides.”

For Businesses and Schools:

Retailers near Keizer Station, Willamette University, and even local event organizers for the Salem Saturday Market use containers to store merchandise, equipment, and event gear.

This is a fantastic company! Staff were easy to work with and understood our needs. Two years after our first purchase, they helped us with one of our boxes when we thought we were having a problem with one of the doors. Our experience with them was so positive the first time we bought a box, we went back to them when we needed to buy a second box. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

For Event Planners and Farmers Markets:

Fall festivals like the Keizer Harvest Festival and Silverton Applefest rely on storage containers for overnight security and vendor supplies.
