"Staff knew their product what I liked was they gave me photos of the container with the Serial number and a location where I could go and physically view the container allocated to me before paying and it was exactly as described. I paid a fair market price and was very happy not like the too good to be true prices given by many where their physical address does not match their advertised location. Delivery was fast excellent service ABC would not go anywhere else now 5 Star Service"

"ABC CONTAINERS ARE THE GO TO PLACE FOR CONTAINERS. MY WIFE AND I WALKED IN "OFF THE STREET" AND WERE MET BY ALEX, WHO WENT OVER AND ABOVE TO ADVISE ON AVAILABILITY, COST, AND SUPPLY/DELIVERY. ONCE WE HAD MADE UP OUR MINDS ON COST, COLOR, AND DELIVERY, ALEX WAS ABLE TO SOURCE ONE FOR US, KEPT IN REGULAR COMMUNICATION AND EVEN PROVIDED US WITH DELIVERY DRIVER NAME AND DETAILS. THE QUOTE/INVOICING WAS PERFECT. THE DELIVERY WAS SECOND TO NONE, THE DELIVERY DRIVER ROWAN WAS AN ACE IN THE TRUCK, BEING ABLE TO MEASURE, LOCATE/SITE AND LEVEL, ALL WITH A SMILE. I CANNOT FAULT ABC AND THE VARIOUS INTERACTION WE HAD WITH STAFF INCLUDING CRAIG, JO, AMANDA, ROWAN, AND PRIMARILY ALEX. THEY ARE ALL SO PROFESSIONAL, FREINDLY, COURTEOUS, WILLING TO TAKE THAT EXTRA STEP TO ENSURE THAT THE CUSTOMER IS COMFY, AT EASE AND INFORMED ALL THE WAY. ABC CONTAINERS IS THE PROVIDER OF CHOICE AND ONE I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO RECOMMED AT A HIGH LEVEL.
