SAM TAKES THE STRESS OUT OF MOVING AND STORAGE

Moving across town or across the country? Need extra storage space? Meet sam, the ultimate portable storage container.

sam containers are approx. 16′ long, 8′ wide and 8′ high, holding the contents of a typical 1,500-square-foot home (basement, garage, patio and attic items may require an additional sam).

sam solves your moving and storage needs, and does it for less. If you’ll do the loading, sam will do the rest – pickup and delivery included.  The safe, secure, simple storage and moving solution – It’s sam.

Let’s start with my experience.

We ordered a container – only to have the company miss their delivery date.   They arrived the next day (after 5 PM) with a unit that was soaking wet inside and with a broken door.

The driver stated – well the door came open while I was driving down the highway – so I pulled over and used a hammer to get it shut.  Sorry – only unit I have… you will have to deal.

It took over 30 calls (YES THIRTY) and we finally got another unit 4 days later… (mind you the entire moving crew we had to help – was long gone doing what they should in a work week – working)

When the unit arrives at our new home – The driver knocks down the lines leading to the house – refuses to place the container how we can best unload it – and drives off.

So – explain to me how did SAM help solve my moving and storage needs?  -  If you consider the safe, secure, and simple storage / moving solution including providing a unit that is completely soaked, doors that will not close, ripping up the driveway (at both locations) and also knocking down wires safe and convienent – let me see you a bridge that goes from London to Brooklyn for $1500

My vote for 1800-Get A Sam is Get a different Carrier.
