Our partner suppliers
Before signing, check the business identity in the register applicable to the country, insurance, references and delivery terms. Ask the supplier for evidence: partner status does not replace these checks.
Four checks before choosing a supplier
Before paying or signing, examine the supplier’s documents. Presence on the platform does not replace these checks.
Business identification
Check the business register applicable to the country and that the quote’s contact details match the business. Contact it through independently obtained details if needed.
VAT and invoice
Ask for an invoice and check the applicable VAT treatment. VIES concerns EU VAT identifiers; not every business is registered there and UK rules are separate.
Insurance and liability
Ask for insurance documents suitable for the proposed sale, transport and installation. Check limits, validity and who is responsible for each operation.
References and availability
Ask for references, recent photos of the offered container and written confirmation of stock and delivery date. Business age alone does not guarantee quality.
Six points to specify in the quote
Ask for a written quote specifying the supplier’s commitments. The terms agreed in your contract apply.
1. Response time and availability
You may receive up to 5 quotes depending on the container type, delivery area and available suppliers. The number of replies and response time depend on the partners; neither up to 5 quotes nor a fixed deadline is guaranteed.
2. Transparency on the final price
The price should detail the container, options, transport, handling and applicable taxes. Compare totals and exclusions rather than a headline price.
3. Delivery commitment compliance
Confirm the date, access conditions, unloading equipment and process for delays. Compensation or penalties depend on the contract and applicable law.
4. Accessible customer service
Identify a contact and how to reach them before paying. Ask for service hours and the breakdown procedure if your project requires it.
5. Administrative compliance
Specify documents needed for the country and use: quote, invoice, delivery note, condition report and applicable technical certificates or inspections. Ask to receive them before accepting the operation.
6. Dispute management
Keep quotes, correspondence and photos. For a dispute, first contact the supplier in writing, then use remedies or mediation appropriate to the contract and country.
What to examine in offers
Four elements help compare suppliers. Ask for specific information for your project; the platform guarantees no score or response rate.
- Response rate to quote requests — Check that the supplier answers your questions and confirms availability for the dates requested.
- Price discrepancy between quoted and final price — Ask for an explanation of any difference between quote and invoice, and written acceptance of extras.
- Customer feedback — Check references and reviews with verifiable provenance; a score alone is not a guarantee.
- Unresolved disputes — Ask who handles a complaint, the stated timeframe and the contractual remedies.
Before signing, check the business identity in the register applicable to the country, insurance, references and delivery terms. Ask the supplier for evidence: partner status does not replace these checks.
Geographical Coverage
Prices, lead times and availability depend on suppliers, depots and site access in the United Kingdom. Compare detailed local quotes before relying on a budget or delivery date.
