Company Verification

How to confirm you are dealing with us before sending a wire transfer, the warning signs of supplier impersonation fraud, and what we will never ask you to do.

Last updated

Because container sales are settled by bank transfer, criminals sometimes impersonate legitimate suppliers. This page explains how to confirm that you are dealing with us.

Our official channels

  • This website, at its published domain.
  • The email address and phone number shown on our contact page and in the header and footer of every page.
  • The social media profiles linked in our footer.

Treat any other domain, email address, or profile claiming to be us as unverified until you have checked it with us by phone.

Before you send money

  1. Call the phone number published on this website. Do not use a number taken from an email, an invoice, or a message.
  2. Confirm the order number, the unit, the total, and the banking details verbally.
  3. Check that the account name matches our business name.
  4. Send a small test transfer first if your bank supports it and you want extra certainty.

Warning signs

  • A sudden change of bank account details, especially close to payment.
  • Pressure to pay immediately to "hold" a unit. Submitting an order does not reserve stock, and we do not hold units against pressure to pay.
  • Payment requested to a personal name rather than a business account.
  • Prices far below market combined with insistence on immediate payment.
  • Email addresses that differ from our published domain by a character or two.
  • Requests to pay by gift card, cryptocurrency, or money transfer service. We never ask for these.

What we will never do

We will never send you new banking details without also confirming them with you by phone, and we will never ask for card numbers, online banking passwords, or one-time passcodes.

If something looks wrong

Stop, and contact us directly using the details on this site before sending anything. If you believe you have already sent funds to a fraudulent account, contact your bank immediately and report it to your local authorities.

Business details

Our trading name, address, and contact details are published in the footer of every page on this site. If you need written confirmation for a procurement or vendor onboarding process, contact us and we will provide it.
