Hello,

We are truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with the delivery of your containers. This is not the standard of service we strive to provide, and we completely understand your frustration after the delays on both dates.

Unfortunately, we faced scheduling issues with our external haulier, which affected your delivery. We sincerely apologise that this impacted your experience, and for any miscommunication on our part. Please rest assured, we are working hard to prevent this from happening in the future.

Thank you for your patience, and we hope to make it right moving forward.

Kind regards,

Cleveland

This wors company I had ever experienced, they meant to sent me two fresh used containers which is air & rain right but just soon after delivery I realised one of them is dropping rain water & straight away I informed about it.
Related officer told me don’t worry it will be replaced but more then 2 weeks now every day said don’t worry it will be done but all are lie & loughing on me.
My suggestion not to buy from them & make people funn.
Thanks

The cabin is great

The cabin is great. The delivery was very poor. The cabin did not come on the day it was promised and when it did, the lorry sprayed hydraulic oil all over our yard.

Hello David,

We are very sorry to hear about your experience. We work with third party hauliers within their schedules and unfortunately they suffered delays which meant that your container had to be delivered the following day.

Our transport team have contacted the haulier involved in this. They have explained that the unfortunate incident with the spillage was accidental - the vehicle had experienced a burst hose whilst delivering causing the oil to spill onto the yard. We understand that this will have been a great inconvenience to you; By way of an apology and to rectify the problem our haulier did provide compensation to enable a clean-up operation.

Once again we apologise for your experience and hope this doesn't deter you from ordering from us again.

Kind regards,

Cleveland

An ideal secure store place

It was delivered on the day agreed and with a very courteous driver who was determined to position the container just where we needed it, even though it was an extremely tight access to the required location.

I purchase 3 container from Cleveland containers. As soon as there's an issue they will leave you by yourself with no help. The container was not even 6 months old before reporting issues. I believe I was sold a bad product they won't even send someone out to take a look. if I could give 0 stars I would. Avoid

Hello Luca,

Thank you for your feedback. I believe your sales manager has been trying to contact you to confirm which unit this relates to, as you have procured several secondhand refrigerated units through Cleveland.

Customer care is important to us and we aim to resolve any issues in a timely and efficient manner, however we do have to adhere to our warranty period for used containers and charge for extra call-outs and services where applicable.

Kind regards,

Cleveland
