Questions about buying a container

What is the price of a shipping container?
In the shop, from £560 excl. VAT to £4,400 excl. VAT, i.e. from £672 incl. VAT to £5,280 incl. VAT, depending on size, construction and condition. These prices exclude delivery: delivery and offloading are added according to your postcode. The lowest listed price applies to the 20ft used as-is container.
How is delivery included in the quotation?
Ask for the full delivered price. Delivery and offloading costs depend on your postcode, truck access (width, clear height, slope) and offloading method. From the container listing, “Request delivered price” starts an enquiry for that total. Delivery coverage in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland varies by supplier; for offshore or remote locations, request a specific transport quote.
New, one-trip or used: which should you choose?
UK suppliers often call one-trip containers ‘new’. We label them as one-trip because they have travelled from manufacture and may have handling marks. A genuinely never-used unit is a separate specification. WWT describes wind and watertight storage condition. Cargo-worthy requires current inspection and examination details for freight use. As-is units need a written condition report. Our used 10ft is a reconditioned cut-down storage unit.
What colours are available?
Colour preferences for new and one-trip enquiries include gentian blue (RAL 5010), reseda green (RAL 6011), light grey (RAL 7035), anthracite grey (RAL 7016). Actual colour, availability and any repainting costs must be confirmed in the quotation.
How do I pay?
This shop accepts quotation enquiries only. Submitting the form does not place an order or take payment. A separate quotation must identify the contracting seller, the full price, payment terms, delivery and any cancellation rights before you agree to buy.

To go further: new or one-trip, buy a used container, prepare for container delivery.
