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 8ft shipping container!
Can’t thank Rueben at NZ Box enough. Great customer service, was able to provide great advice on container that would suit us best, sale and rental options, arranging delivery and being flexible to fit in with our family needs. Great pricing, especially compared to using a storage facility. Appreciate your work and the container is fantastic.
