Review on 🚚 Black Steel Underbody Truck Box with T-Handle Latch - Buyers Products (1703349), 14x12x18 Inch by Jose Haskin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Solid product (boxes) - better shipping materials needed

I found this truck container excellent in terms of product quality. It was just right for those who needed to fit a truck box to their commercial vehicle/trailer. I will be using mine to attach to my open tractor trailer. The metal sensor is thick enough to withstand the daily abuse of non-commercial use. The total weight of each crate is over 50 pounds. It's made from alloy steel, not cheap aluminum like some of the other boxes sold at Revain. The biggest complaint I have relates to the shipping packaging. The packaging they use is inadequate. One of the corners of my box is bent (I see similar complaints from other customers). The manufacturer/seller (Buyers Product Company) may use the tip of another manufacturer/seller who is selling an inferior product on Revain. This inferior product is very poorly made in terms of material strength and easily damaged/bent (it is made entirely of aluminium). However, they have come up with an ingenious/simple solution to prevent their poor quality product from being damaged in transit. You simply stuck 8 cardboard corners into the box at each corner. Surprisingly, this protected their product during transit. Does this also look like an inexpensive solution? Check out my attached photos showing what the corner pieces looked like. For those who complain about leaking seals around the door and loosening of the locking mechanism, there is an easy fix. If your locking mechanism is loose when you receive your box(es), you can easily adjust the latch using the adjustment screw(s) attached to the latch to tighten or loosen the latch. Therefore, the possibility of leakage through the rubber seal(s) is reduced. If you don't know how to do this, I'm sure the manufacturer/seller will be happy to help you. Hope that helps?
