Additional Complaint Information
BBB has emailed the complaints to the business, but Midwest Shipping Containers has not responded to emails or phone calls.
BBB urges caution if deciding to purchase from this company.
If you are interested in purchasing a shipping container, BBB advises:
Double-check the business’s contact information. Before contacting a business, review its website and contact information carefully. Physical addresses are usually a good indication that the business is for real, but make sure the website matches the information you can find on local maps. For example, if a business’s contact phone number on their website is different from what appears for that address on Google Maps, consider it a warning sign. Another red flag is a physical address that come up as an empty lot or a residential home when searched.
Read reviews. Be sure to read reviews, and not just those that appear on the business’ website. Search for reviews on third-party websites and keep a close eye out for any reports of scams or less-than-honest business practices.
Be skeptical of extremely low prices. If a price sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
View the container before you buy. See high-dollar items in person before you buy. If a seller won’t let you see their product or insists you pay first, you’re probably dealing with a scammer.
Be wary of aggressive sales tactics. Scammers will often apply some serious sales pressure so you will make a purchase without thinking your decision through. Don’t give into these tactics, especially when purchasing an item that costs several thousand dollars.

ON 7/26/23 we sent an email to a company called Midwest Shipping Containers, which we found online via a google search,. We were looking to buy a Storage Container for our business. They emailed us back, and sent us an invoice with Wire instructions for payment. We proceeded to pay them $3,155.00 by Wire Transfer on the same date. We were told that the container would be shipped to us in 2-3 days, and they would send us the tracking info. After 5 days, with no emails, we contacted them, and received no reply. We send multiple emails and called the phone number, and have not heard from anyone. Attached is the copy of the invoice that they sent us, and our Wire Confirmation.
