Beginner’s Guide to Safely Buying a Shipping Container in Kenya.

So, you’re thinking about buying a shipping container in Kenya? Just the thought of buying one means that you already know what you want to use it for. That’s great! But the process can seem a bit difficult, right? Don’t worry, Morara Properties got you covered. Having been in the field of fabricating shipping containers, we know almost everything concerning them.

 We’re going to guide you through the process step by step to make sure you get the best container for your needs.

Step 1: Find a reputable  company

First things first, you need to find a reputable shipping container company or organization. But how do you know which one to choose? You can start by researching online and reading reviews to find a company that has a good reputation and has been in business for a while. You can also ask for recommendations from friends or colleagues who have bought shipping containers before.

Step 2: Study their website and background

Once you’ve found a company that you’re interested in, do some detective work. Check out their website and background information.

If a purported company’s website is as functional as a leaky boat, it’s a definite red flag! That’s why we can’t stress enough how crucial it is to ensure the company you’re eyeing has a smoothly sailing website, one that’s regularly updated.

Think of a website as a company’s soul, revealing its history, its interactions, and its essence. With Morara Properties, we lay our cards on the digital table. Our website offers you a wealth of reliable data – from our journey, reviews, and past clients to communication platforms, physical address, and contact details.

Step 3: Visit their physical location and verify that it’s real

After you’ve done your online research, it’s time to hit the road! Visit the company’s physical location to see their shipping containers in person. This will give you a better idea of the quality of their containers and whether they meet your needs. But how do you know if the location is real? Here are some tips:

  • Check the company’s website for their address, and make sure it matches the location you’re visiting.

  • Look for signs or logos on the building that match the company’s branding.

  • Check for reviews or photos of the location online to confirm that it exists.

  • Call the company and ask for directions or confirmation that the location is real before you visit.

And while you’re at the location, don’t be afraid to ask the company representatives any questions you may have about the containers or the buying process.

Step 4: Verify the documents of the containers you intend to purchase

Before you make a purchase, you need to verify the documents of the containers you intend to buy. This includes:

  • Checking their age

  • Checking their condition

  • Checking for any repairs or modifications that have been made to them

  • Checking that the container has a valid logbook. 

You don’t want to end up with a lemon, so make sure you do your due diligence!

Step 5: Make payment and collect your container

Finally, it’s time to make your purchase and collect your container! We recommend that you make your payment through a bank transaction, as it’s a safe and secure way to transfer funds. Don’t forget to keep all your receipts and documentation in a safe place, as they’ll come in handy if you ever need to make a claim or prove ownership of the container. Once you’ve paid and collected your container, you’ll be well on your way to owning a high-quality shipping container in Kenya.

With these steps in mind, your buying will be a success. Good luck with your purchase!
