Should I buy a 6ft, 7ft, 8ft or a 9ft container?
It really depends on how much you have to store and the length of what you are storing. We would suggest measuring what your largest items are to ensure they fit inside our second-smallest 7ft container. There is quite a difference in price between the different size containers so if everything looks like it will fit into a smaller container then it’s definitely the better value-for-money choice. When choosing between containers, you have to consider what you need to store now and what you may need to store in the future.
Do you sell second hand 7ft containers?
At this stage we do not sell second hand 7ft containers. The reason is because 7ft containers are still a very new design and no second-hand market has yet developed in NZ. We envisage having some ex-hire stock to sell in by 2024.
Can we arrange our own transport?
Yes, you can if you are buying your container. If you are hiring, we prefer to arrange transport so we know where the container is placed. If the transport is arranged by the customer for hire, we would usually charge a bond. Please remember we do deal with a lot of transport companies and in most cases would be able to offer the best possible transport rate. Chains are also required to transport an 7ft shipping container!
We have dealt with Reuben on numerous occasions now. Very easy from start to finish. We have had containers delivered and moved around numerous times. Reuben organised Saturday mornings for the containers so it did not disrupt our manufacturing. Containers were in great condition. Would recommend NZBOX to anyone wanting containers.
