How insulting that Bob's Containers would send me an automated apology for the debacle they caused. I just received some type of response to my review. I ended up getting my money back from them. I settled because I thought they would go bankrupt. I was told that they owe over a $1M to people that they scammed. I lived through 2 1/2 awful years with them before I got anything back.

Hi Lynn- that was not automated. I took the time to respond to all of the people former ownership deceived. We took over the business and cleaned house. We also are victims. We are just trying to do the right thing for all affected and do our part.

My experience was unfortunately…
My experience was unfortunately disappointing. I felt that communication could have been more transparent throughout the process. After making a deposit, I did not receive the expected product, which was frustrating. I hope the company improves its service and follow-through in the future. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company.

I contracted with Bob’s Containers for…
I contracted with Bob’s Containers for a container home DIY kit totaling $124,725. I have paid $55,000 so far, and after more than a year, I have not received the product — nor any verifiable evidence that work is underway. Communication has frequently gone silent for months, and despite many attempts, I cannot get clear answers about delivery or progress. It's now been over 8 months since they have communicated with us. I am now pursuing legal action to attempt to recover the money for the undelivered product. This has been an incredibly stressful and expensive experience, and I would strongly discourage others from proceeding with them.
Response from Bob's ContainersJun 26, 2026
We’re truly sorry for what you’ve gone through Jenn. Paying $55,000 and then spending months without clear answers, delivery, or reliable communication is an incredibly frustrating and stressful position to be in.
Bob’s Containers is now under new ownership/management, and we recognize that there are customers who were left with unresolved projects from the prior ownership period. We cannot undo that experience, but we are trying to review these situations individually and help where we realistically can.
If you’re willing to reach out to our current team, we would like the opportunity to review your file, understand exactly what happened, and see whether there is a practical path forward, including potential credit toward a new build for verified prior deposits.

We moved a load for this company back in January 2025, they never paid the $3,200.

Bob’s Containers is now under new ownership/management, and we are reviewing legacy vendor matters from the prior ownership period as they are brought to our attention. We would love to find a way try and make it right.

They just take your money and lead you on. Half money down for deposit- poof gone with no product ever delivered. But they sure will lead you on.
Response from Bob's ContainersJun 26, 2026
Wendy, we’re truly sorry for the experience you had. Making a large deposit and then feeling led on without receiving the product is exactly the kind of situation we know has caused real frustration and stress for affected customers.
Bob’s Containers is now under new ownership/management, and we are reviewing unresolved projects from the prior ownership period individually. We cannot change what happened before the transition, but we do want to understand each situation and look for practical ways to help where we can.
Please reach out to our current team with your project details so we can review your file directly and see what options may be available.

We do NOT recommend Bob's Containers…
We do NOT recommend Bob's Containers for any project. We were asked by a client to use them for a project and found everything from the quoting to completion to be very sub-par. In 20 years of recreation equipment sales, this is the only project I have had to get an attorney involved with. We were told the production schedule would be 6-months and 50% down payment was needed (not totally unusual) and 50% prior to shipping. At 6 months, they told us the container was ready to ship, and the final 50% down payment was needed, so we provided a check. It took an additional 6-months to have our project ship, and the upgraded fixtures we purchased, were not included. Never could get an explanation on what was taking so long. We worked with the owner who, after being told it could be another 2-months to get the fixtures exchanged, accepted the existing fixtures. When we provided a request for the price difference, we were told that it sounded reasonable and then they went silent. Had to hire an attorney for a payment demand, which went unanswered. On a $60,000 project, Robert decided it was better not refund our $3,500. Ironically, we had two potential projects that will not be doing to Bob's Containers. Well played Robert, way to give up dollars for pennies. In 20 years, this is the only company we have ever worked with that we have suggested someone not use for a project. I would avoid working with them in any case and will talk to our other nationwide counterparts to never use them. Next stop, BBB!!

Duke-We’re sorry. You trusted Bob’s Containers on behalf of your own client, and based on what you described, prior ownership put you in a bad position.
The delays, missing upgraded fixtures, lack of clear answers, and silence around the requested price difference are all valid reasons to be upset. That is not the standard the current team is trying to build around.
Bob’s Containers is now under new ownership/management. We cannot refund prior ownership issues, but if you send us the project details, we’ll review what happened and see whether there is a practical way to offer credit or support on a future project.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH BOBS
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH BOBS CONTAINERS. THEY DEFRAUDED ME FOR NEARLY $50k. THEY TOOK MY DEPOSIT AND GHOSTED ME FOR YEARS. STAY AWAY THIS COMPANY IS A COMPLETE SCAM!!
Response from Bob's ContainersJun 26, 2026
Totally unacceptable Aaron and we understand why you feel taken advantage of.
Bob’s Containers is under new ownership/management now. We cannot refund deposits paid to prior ownership, but we are reviewing these old unresolved files directly.
Many folks that have dealt with Bobs in the past, have had a very similar experience. We are offering them a credit of their initial deposit for up to 50% of a new build.
Please contact us directly.

Subcontractors beware!!
Our company was contracted out to do some repairs to a container home in October of 2024. It is now the end of March 2025 and we have yet to receive payment. Bob's Containers was adamant that we got the work done ASAP, and we did. Since the work has been completed, it has been impossible to get answers as to why our invoice has gone unpaid. We've left numerous voicemails and emails, only to have everything go unanswered. We are never able to speak with anyone who can explain why this is happening. Come to find out, we are not the only contractors to deal with this. Their company has a history of poor communication, poor response time, and failure to pay. If you are a potential subcontractor who is planning on doing business with Bob's Containers, I HIGHLY recommend you walk away.

Hi Jenny-We’re sorry this happened. Bob’s Containers is now under new ownership/management, and our current team is reviewing unresolved contractor matters from the prior ownership period.
Please send your invoice and supporting documentation to us directly. While we may not be able to resolve every legacy invoice, we’d like to review the file and see if there is a practical way to work together going forward.
