Excellent Customer Service
We placed an order online and entered the wrong delivery address. I spoke to Cole this morning on the phone and he was incredibly helpful, able to change the delivery address no problem. He was very friendly and guaranteed a speedy delivery. We wouldn't hesitate to use Universal Containers again based on their customer service.
