Used Shipping Containers Serve As A Smart Alternative To Rental Storage

‘Inside The Box’ with Will Dorry 

Used shipping containers serve as a cost-effective alternative to rental storage. 

## Used Shipping Containers Provide Affordable & Secure Alternative To Traditional Units

As many military families know, relocating is just inherent to the profession and renting storage for your personal items is just par for the course. For retired Veteran Will Dorry, it’s a bit of a touchy subject, “I rented storage for 20 years...I could have bought a small plot of land instead.” 

Truth is, Dorry never would have left his Minnesota storage facility if earlier this summer he wasn’t asked to vacate his storage unit in a week due to a renovation and new ownership. 

“I had been living abroad for some time and the letter notifying me of the change at the facility somehow got lost. I literally had to move my possessions in seven days.” Dorry adds.

Desperate to find a new home for his personal belongs and cars, he flew back from Okinawa, Japan, to pack and begin his search for a more affordable option. Committed to purchasing a container, instead of continuing to rent, he went online for a 40ft high cube.  After selecting a container supplier, picking a size, and scheduling the pickup, he was told he had to pay by Wire Transfer. 

“I was in the middle of flying back to the country, trying to coordinate the move and got this weird feeling about this company which said they didn’t accept credit cards as a payment. I decided to do some research on a government site and was alerted this was a sign of a scam.” Dorry noted.

“Then I found Eveon Containers, read through their Trustpilot reviews, studied your payment options and safely purchased two 40’ HC containers in Chicago and Minnesota.”

In an industry susceptible to fraud, it is paramount to exercise due diligence when making online purchases, regardless of their scale. Mr. Dorry, who dedicated his entire career to logistics and engineering in the Army, regrettably found himself on the verge of falling victim to a scam involving thousands of dollars.

## Before buying a used shipping container, research the industry thoroughly to avoid scams and overpriced deals. Verify sellers’ credibility and inspect the container's condition to ensure you're getting reliable quality.

We are lucky that Mr. Dorry found Eveon Containers, but some aren’t so fortunate to catch the scam before they pay.
