Reviews
Shars Tool2019-08-02 Very easy to work with and the quality is second to none. Brad and his team delivered exactly as promised. If you need a crate, this is the place! Kyle Donka2019-01-15 Highly recommended if you are looking for crates of any size. I have yet to receive a crate that hasn't been to exact specifications and they are always delivered on time. What I like best is that you get to work directly with the owner of the company, so you know you are going to get the best service possible. Erick Beltran2018-12-07 I went with a buddy of mine on Wednesday Dec 5, 2018 to get a crate so he can ship out an engine, and let me tell you. I have not seen such clean, and study crates the way this man makes em. Usually i don't write reviews, but this guy definitely deserves it. He's super professional, and the guy i met that made business with my friend was awesome. Keeps everything straight forward, honest, won't cheap you out, will go out of his way to give you the perfect crate. Will definitely be going to him myself real soon. Andrew Viverito2018-12-02 Brad built a custom crate ( heat treated wood ) for my needs and I couldn't be happier with the quick completion & quality of the crate . Exactly what I needed built to the dimensions I gave him over the phone. I recommend his company & would use him again. Waterjet USA2018-11-16 I contacted Brad about building a small shipping crate for some sensitive machinery that needed to ship overseas. He was very quick to respond and provided a reasonable estimate as well as a professionally built crate with the proper materials and required certification for international transport. Brad was very nice and made a great product. I will use him again when I have such equipment to ship. Thank you! Drew Augusten2018-05-12 Fox Valley Crating was extremely thorough in protecting my product for shipment. Everything was as promised and more. I would highly recommend Fox Valley Crating to anyone and everyone looking to ship something of importance, nationally or internationally. Great company, and will be using again in the future!
