Amazed

Amazed, what brilliant service and skill. Delivering a container on what seemed like the windiest day of the year into a near wind tunnel of F1 proportions and the young lad (19 years old) handled the job without any worries, placed the container perfectly and seemed unflappable!
So impressed with the skill and calmness. Will be very happy to use again and to recommend to any potential clients.

Punctual, Clean, Great Logistics.

The containers arrived punctually, clean and with the new correct sea container locks. They were all the same colour, which we didn't specify, but looks much better aesthetically. Paperwork and contact kept to the minimum, which we prefer. We will certainly look to Cleveland in the future for workspace solutions.

Hi Colin,

Thank you for your feedback. Just to clarify, padlocks are always sent separately from the containers, so for collections they are dispatched shortly afterwards. I understand Rachael has been in touch, and your padlock is on its way and should arrive tomorrow.

If for any reason it hasn’t arrived by then, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll ensure it’s sorted promptly.

Cleveland

Hi Atanas,

Thank you for your feedback.

I can see that you previously raised this issue with us in December 2025 regarding the placement of the unit. We carried out a full investigation into the matter.

Our records show that during your initial call, you confirmed that you wanted the unit to be placed in the garden. No specific positioning details were provided at that time, and you also confirmed with our salesperson that there was sufficient space for delivery.

When the haulier arrived on site, it became apparent that the exact location intended for the unit was too tight to allow for safe placement. The haulier initially advised that the delivery would need to be aborted due to access restrictions. However, the person present on site requested that the unit be left in its delivered position.

The haulier also obtained written confirmation from the individual on site confirming that the unit would be repositioned by yourselves at a later time. This written confirmation has been provided to us.

Based on the evidence reviewed, I am satisfied that both Cleveland and the haulier followed the correct procedures and acted in accordance with the instructions given at the time of delivery.

Regards,
Cleveland

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your delivery arrived a day later than planned.

Unfortunately, our third-party haulier experienced a breakdown at our depot, but a replacement truck was sent the following morning to ensure your container reached you as quickly as possible.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. If there’s anything further we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Cleveland

Fantastic experience from start to finish

We already had two containers from Cleveland Containers and had a great experience, this time they really were amazing!! We wanted to put another one in a very tricky space and only had a short window to do it. Rachael gave us all our options and we settled on a used unit (great value) and the transport team then kicked into action. The delivery driver was fantastic, it really was a very awkward spot and he was so patient. I can't recommend them enough!
