Unfortunately our delivery was delayed by several hours but the driver made up for lost time, he was very polite and proffessional and sited the container inch perfect.
I was treated extremely well they took care of what I needed without any fuss.
I cannot thank the staff at S Jones Containers enough. Everyone I spoke to went over and above to help. The containers were ordered and delivered in a very timely manner. We were kept informed at all times. The containers arrived at the time expected and were very easy to install. Thank you to everyone at S Jones Containers. I would highly recommend this company, it was a pleasure doing business with them.
Shazia was helpful from my first enquiry to the delivery of my container. She sorted any query and enabled me to buy exactly what I was looking for. The driver who delivered container was also a credit to his company. Nothing was too much trouble and everything done with a smile .
Got in touch with Shazia at the depot she organised everything delivery was a bit worrying as the area was tight but the delivery guy was amazing and got them exactly where we wanted them ,, all a very good service provided
