We just had a container delivered for our Community Pantry in Dalkeith and we cannot recommend RFB enough. Their prices were good, their service was excellent and the truck driver was brilliant, and positioned the container exactly where we needed it within millimetres, quickly and efficiently, in a most joyful manner. Thank You.
