Western Container Sales & RentalsReviews of westerncontainersales.com

If I could give 0 stars, I would. We rented a used shipping container from this company for several years. The same type of used container is advertised on their own website for around $1,245, yet after our container was damaged in the Los Angeles fires, they attempted to charge us over $4K based on an alleged “asset value” rather than their own stated fair market value. They repeatedly pushed for insurance involvement, threatened us with insurance fraud despite the container not being covered under our insurance policy, threatened legal action and collections, and showed little compassion despite the fact that we have been long-time loyal customers who had faithfully paid rent for years and were dealing with a devastating fire loss. We attempted to resolve the matter fairly and reasonably by offering to meet in the middle between their advertised market price and the inflated “asset value” amount they demanded, but so far no resolution has been reached.

I would like to know if these will ever be paid off. I could have paid less for better quality if I bought them outright.nothing has been done after dropping them off 4yrs ago

I wish that I could give them a -10. I was treated like a criminal and accused of trying to fraud them after they received my entire $5000+ paid in full. I ordered 2) 40 high cube containers. I told the saleslady that they were for my butterfly preserve. It was a red flag to me that her email address had another company name in it. When I called them back I spoke with the owner who said that was the former name. I told him about my purchase and what it was for he assured me that they were a legitimate company and that I had nothing to worry about. I called my saleslady back and placed my order and paid the invoice in full. About an hour later after the payment had gone through the owner called me back and said that he was investigating me for fraud and he would need to know who owned the land, see the deed and research it. I asked him how could I be committing fraud to him if he already had all of MY MONEY paid in full. He said that people order them and send them to vacant lots and then cancel payment saying that they didn't receive them. I asked him how could I make that claim if I had to be there to sign for and receive it? He had no real answer for me. Mind you none of these questions and concerns came up until after he had MY MONEY PAID IN FULL. He told me that I could just cancel my order. He was very rude, nasty, unprofessional and condescending towards me. I couldn't believe that I was speaking with the owner. He ruined a chance to do business with someone who is going to be purchasing more containers in the future. It all started to feel like a scam to me because he couldn't tell me how long it would be to get my money back. I cancelled my order and placed a stop payment on the funds. Thank God I got all of my money back. The experience with them was horrible and I would not recommend them. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I found another company that gave me an even better deal and quality containers (Syncube Containers). I hope that he reads this review, learns from it and never treats another customer like this. Everyone is not a criminal and does not deserve to be treated like that and disrespected.

Container arrived with hole in the door. Not weatherproof like promised. I had too much invested to send the container back. Nobody has answered my inquiry about this.

Pita… plain and simple. Container is extremely rough looking inside and out. Is it wind and water tight? Time will tell but the whole process was harder than buying a house. If you have to deal with fraud, good luck. He doesn't return phone calls and you play email tag with him. I think it is very unprofessional. They did end up working with me after they read this review. They ended up refunding me some money for the container.
