1. Range of Shipping Container Sizes

Different moves require different-sized containers. A comprehensive moving container company should offer a variety of container sizes to fit your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for a compact 10 foot shipping container for a small apartment move, the popular 20 foot shipping container  for a medium sized home  or a big 40 foot shipping container for a larger home, having options is essential.

2. Availability of Containers for Sale and Rent

Depending on your situation, you may  either be looking for containers for sale or containers for rent. Look for a company that offers both shipping containers for sale and storage container rental options. This flexibility can be a lifesaver if your plans change or if you decide you want to keep the container for future use. Search for companies that have shipping containers for sale near me in your search bar to find options from a local yard that may  be more cost-effective.

3. Quality of Shipping Containers

The condition of the shipping containers is crucial. You want to ensure that your belongings are safe and secure during the move. Use this Simple Guide to Buying a Shipping Container and look for a company that provides high-quality, well-maintained containers. A reputable company will have sturdy, weatherproof containers that protect your items from the elements and potential damage.

4. Delivery and Pickup Services

Convenience is key when it comes to moving. A good moving container company will offer reliable delivery and pickup services. Make sure they can deliver the container to your current location and pick it up from your new one. It’s also helpful if they provide a shipping container moving service near you to ensure timely and efficient assistance.

5. Customer Support and Flexibility

Excellent customer service can make your moving experience much smoother. Choose a company that is known for being responsive and helpful, and for a bonus, that is family owned.  The local team will be  able to answer all your questions, assist with any issues that arise, and offer flexible options to accommodate your schedule. The ability to rent a shipping container for moving for as long as you need it is also a big plus.

6. Security Features

Security is paramount when it comes to moving storage containers. Look for companies that offer containers with robust locking mechanisms and other security features such as a padlock or master lock. This ensures that your belongings remain safe and secure throughout the moving process.

7. Competitive Pricing

Moving can be expensive, so finding a company that offers competitive pricing is important. Compare rates from different companies to ensure you’re getting the best deal. Don’t forget to factor in any additional costs, such as delivery fees or insurance. Moving Container Prices with Get Simple Box start at $399 (includes first month’s rent) for local moving (move 10-20 miles across town), start at $599 (includes first month’s rent) for region to region moving (move 30 to 250 miles across regions) and start at $1799 (includes first month’s rent) for a long distance move (move 250+ miles across states).

8. Positive Reviews and Reputation

A company’s reputation speaks volumes about the quality of its service. Check out online reviews and testimonials to see what other customers have to say. A company with consistently positive feedback is likely to provide a satisfactory experience. Look for those with a solid track record in providing reliable moving containers. Get Simple Box takes pride in our reputation with the average review being 4.9 out of 5 stars compared to our competitors review average of 3.8 out of 5 stars.

9. Additional Services

Some companies go above and beyond by offering extra services that can make your move even easier. These might include packing supplies, loading and unloading assistance, or even storage solutions if your new place isn’t ready yet.

Finding the right moving container company doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By considering factors like container size options, availability of containers for sale or rent, quality, customer service, security, pricing, and reputation, you can find a company that meets your needs and makes your move as stress-free as possible.
