What Dan's is, and what it is not
Shipping containers bought, hired and delivered anywhere in Australia — with somebody who rings you back within one business day and tells you the truth about what you are buying.
The whole idea
Buying a shipping container should take one phone call. In practice people ring four suppliers, get four prices that are not comparable because none of them include the cartage, and then discover on delivery day that the truck cannot get in.
We built this around the two things that go wrong: nobody rings back, and nobody asks about the access.
So there is one number, and a person answers it. Every enquiry answered within one business day — You hear back from a person, not an autoresponder. Enquiries that land on a weekend are answered the next business day. And no quote leaves here without somebody having asked what the last thirty metres looks like.
What we will actually do
- One number, answered by a person — 1300 263 976
- Every enquiry answered within one business day
- Cargo-worthy units checked wind and watertight before they leave the depot
- The delivered price includes the truck, quoted up front rather than added at invoice time
- Photos of your actual container on request, sent before delivery
And what we will not
We will not quote a container without the cartage. A container price without delivery is not a price, and comparing one against another is not a comparison.
We will not sell you the dearest grade that fits. If cargo-worthy does the job you were going to buy new for, that is what you will be told, and it costs us money every time.
We will not book a truck we are not confident can get in. If the access is marginal we will say so and quote the vehicle that will actually work.
We will not put a number on this page we cannot evidence. No unit counters, no years-trading badge, no star ratings. If you want to know whether we are any good, ring the number and judge the conversation.
Where we work
Australia-wide. Stock moves through the container depots at every major Australian port, which is what makes a national service brand possible without a yard in every town — and it is also why an honest lead time for Darwin is not the same as an honest lead time for Brisbane.
We say which is which on each city page rather than quoting one number everywhere.
