Easy to work with, great container. Awesome business

Diana Trafford
Container was delivered in good condition in the middle of a torrential storm which proved that it was waterproof And we then painted it mist green!!! It's been for a bit of a trip around - my daughter sold her house so we packed the container and took it all off to her place. She unpacked it and it got brought back home and we are packing it now ready to move out. So if you see a Mist Green container on the road it's mine!!! Great people to deal with - a pretty seamless experience.

Awesome company to deal with, nothing seemed to be a problem from purchasing a new container and getting it delivered to my house and then moving it from Whangarei to Tauranga they organized everything. Good to see there is still companies that care about their customers.

James Beveridge
Container Space's containers are the best. Clean and tidy. Delivery was so perfect. I will be recommending this company to everyone. We have had the best experience from start to finish. Thank you

Chrissy White

Great business to deal with . We had sold our house and needed storage for 3 months until we could get in next home. On short notice they were able to supply an extra 10ft container as we had already filled the 20ft container we had ordered. Shifting is a stressful time and Container Space certainly accommodated our need. Very pleasant to deal with. Would certainly recommend this storage facility as they are very efficient and know what they are doing. Prices are very reasonable as well. All our furniture etc was very safe and secure thanks to Container Space.

Allan Derbyshire
