Alert
Better
Business Bureau of the Mahoning Valley (BBB) has made several attempts to
contact Midwest Shipping Containers. This business claims to be located at 650
West Main St., Canfield, Ohio. BBB has determined that Midwest Shipping
Containers is not at the location listed on their website.
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.
