Storage Container

Business provided repossession letter stating storage container would be repossessed if payment was not made "on or before May 2nd, 2023". Payment was made in full on May 2nd, 2023 as per repossession letter terms. Business still repossessed storage container on May 2nd, 2023, damaging items by tilting unsecured belongings within container onto repossession truck.

Company Response

Hi Kurtis. When invoices remain unpaid for more than 4 months, we must move to the lien and repossession process. After each unpaid monthly invoice you would have received an email and phone call from our Accounting Department, however, because those messages went unanswered for more than 4 months, we were forced to move to the repossession process. In addition to the letter you received (dated April 24, 2023) we also followed up with a phone call and voicemail on the morning of May 2, 2023, as a final attempt to collect on your account. Unfortunately, we were still unable to reach you, which resulted in the repossession of your container on the date specified in our messages and letter to you.

To follow up on the most recent voicemail left for you on May 3, 2023, you are welcome to access and remove the contents of the container at our yard. Please call the number provided in that voicemail to arrange the set out of the container.

Moving to new residence with storage box

Stay away from this company. I am a handicapped stay at home dad and had labourers on
hand to unload my belongings on Monday as delivery was scheduled. Got a call Monday afternoon to inform me that my bin was lost and they had no idea where it was. Thank god I took a picture of the bin number before it originally left my old house. Fast forward to Wednesday afternoon and they found my bin in a new subdivision in a driveway only it wasn’t fast forward for me sleepless nights , stress and worry if I would ever see my lifelong belongings again. How could they be so careless with something of this nature. Wednesday afternoon noon they said we are closed tomorrow but will make a special trip to deliver your bin on Thursday as though they we doing me some kind of a favour. No apology and or offer of compensation for what they put me and my family through. Zero stars

Storage

Very difficult to line up having the container delivered to un-load. 2week wait and not able to narrow down a time of delivery ! Very frustrating trying to line up people to help us unload the container without details ! Very frustrating!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER

I started the booking process about a month before my move but they were not able to guarantee my preferred dates. Which was totally understandable but once it got closer to the actual date they were still unsure whether they were able to deliver on time. No one calls and no one had answers. I received a call the day of my move telling me that they have a box for the following monday. If you have plans to move with BigSteelBox, I would HIGHLY RECONSIDER USING THEM. If they don't have the containers/storage boxes then you should let your customers know but waiting until last day? I would NEVER GO WITH THEM. Plus everytime you call, its a new person and no one knows what's going on.

Hi John. We apologize for the issues you encountered during the quoting and booking process. Unfortunately, we're currently experiencing a shortage of containers at our locations across Canada as a result of manufacturing and shipping delays, coupled with very high demand. This has resulted in longer wait times for deliveries for all our customers and is the reason why we cannot always guarantee delivery dates. This is something that's new to us and we're working hard to rectify the issue so that we can meet the expectations of our customers. We're very sorry if this was not communicated clearly to you. We will pass your comments to our team to ensure a better experience for our customers. If there's anything else we can do, please don't hesitate to call our Langley Store Manager, Dan Oldfield, directly at 1-844-373-1187 ext: 421 and he will be happy to help in any way he can.

Big Steel Box is a company with no integrity.

Big Steel Box does not know the meaning of the word integrity. They would rather not honour their commitments than be honest and truthful.
A number of months ago, I entered into a contract with Big Steel Box. They brought the container to our home as expected, and picked it up when we had filled it. We were moving to another community so stored the container at their Abbotsford site for a number of months. We knew we would need to have the container delivered once we purchased a house. When we did purchase a home, we asked them to deliver the container.
Then we were stunned. When we had asked them about storing our goods in one of their containers, we also asked for a price to deliver the container to our new location. They gave us a cost. It was higher than expected, but the move included a ferry, so we agreed with the price they gave us. This price was one of the reasons we agreed to use their container service. Then, when I asked to have the container delivered, the price changed dramatically. They agreed with me that they had given me the initial estimate, but refused to honour the price they had given me. We ended up paying hundreds of dollars more than their original estimate.
I tried for weeks to get them to honour their original price, but they would not do it.
I was terribly disappointed.
Big Steel Box is not a company of integrity. They can’t be trusted. They gave us a price and then would not honour the price. They did not tell us the truth.
My recommendation: Do not deal with this company. They can’t be trusted to keep their word.

Hi Lyle. We’re sorry you experienced an issue with the billing of your move. We’re glad that we were able to speak with you to clarify the situation and issue you a refund for the portion of the move that was over your initial quote. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Rental

Rented a big steel box from them. Their prices are pretty reasonable, and having the box on site was really helpful. Good amount of room and sealing. Good service and they were very helpful
