I had less that a month to pack up and move, due to the closing date for my house. The TargetBox was delivered when arranged and the gentleman who delivered and move it to the new location was amazing. He worked that machine with superb accuracy. The prices are great … cheaper than a storage locker and I had my belongings right in my driveway. I would definitely recommend this company and moving this way.
Thank you again.
We like the service and friendly staff at TargetBox, and we will continue to use their service! Definitely willing to refer to other’s who need portable storage. Thanks Dave!
TargetBox was able to provide me with a storage solution that included both a great product with a great price. I would highly recommend them to anyone out there needing a storage solution!
I approached Target Box because I was in need of a long term storage solution while my new home was built. Target Box was reliable quick and very easy to work with during all steps of the process. The result was quality service for a good price and speed when I needed to move my box from site to site. One thing I liked was their willingness to accommodate any requirement I had.I found the experience to stress-free and hassle free. I would recommend Target Box to people who need a good storage or moving solution that is reliable and economical.
I had heard about TargetBox from a friend who had used them and was happy with their service. I had sold my home but my new home was not quite ready to move in so I needed a short term storage solution…in comes TargetBox. The storage bin was delivered on time and placed in my driveway, exactly where I had asked it to be placed. The bin itself was extremely clean. Upon delivery to my new home, all of my items were in the same condition as I had packed it. Again, delivery and pick up was as I had set it up. All of my questions were answered promptly and the prices were far better than any other storage solution company I had contacted before TargetBox. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Stubbe’s Precast uses shipping containers often. My job is to find the right container at the right price. Whatever the size or modification, Target Box steps right up to deliver exactly what I need. I have several resources to choose from, but since I first used Target Box, they have been my go-to supplier.
Targetbox was able to meet all of my needs when other portable storage moving companies could not. The fact that they could deliver and pick up the storage box on weekends was something that really helped me with my move, and something that many other companies would not do for me. Their prices were competitive and the customer service was fabulous. Dave and Melissa were always available to answer all of my questions and help me with anything I needed. Would absolutely use Targetbox again.
