How to buy your next shipping container

We aim to give the best service we can and we think our prices are pretty good too. We do things a little different to others, for example we’ll supply you with a container any size you like up to 40ft, We’re up front with prices too, as we want to give you a fair deal.

We have been selling shipping containers for nearly 20 years. Our customers buy shipping containers for many different reasons, for storage across all kinds of industries, for converting into accommodation, or using as retail space and many other uses. See our container conversions page for previous conversions we have done.

Buying a shipping container couldn’t be easier, with help from our container sales team at ContainerContainer.
