Absolutely great company to deal with. Steve was brilliant to deal with and keeping us updated. Our property has a tricky and narrow driveway. No problem at all for Greg to maneuver the container in place. Pricing was very good and service was brilliant. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking at purchasing one.
