Shipping Container Sales FAQ

1How long do shipping containers last?
With proper maintenance, shipping containers can last 25-30 years or more.
2Can I modify my container?
Absolutely! Many of our customers repurpose containers for various creative and industrious projects.
3Do you offer delivery?
Yes, we provide efficient delivery services to your specified location.
4What's the difference between used and one-trip containers?
Used containers have been in circulation for some time and may show signs of wear. One-trip containers have typically made only one journey from their manufacturing location and are in near-new condition.
5Can shipping containers be stacked?
Yes, shipping containers are designed to be stacked. We can stack them 2 high. You might have heard that containers can be stacked up to nine high, but this only applies in specialist shipping situations. For permanent installations, we recommend consulting a structural engineer.
6Do I need planning permission to place a container on my property?
This depends on your local regulations. In many cases, temporary storage containers don't require permits, but it's always best to check with your local planning authority, especially for permanent installations or modifications.
7How do I prepare the site for my container?
Ideally, containers should be placed on a level, well-draining surface. This could be a concrete pad, compacted gravel, or concrete blocks at each corner. We can advise on the best setup for your specific needs.
8Can shipping containers be insulated?
Yes, containers can be insulated for better temperature control. This is especially important if you're converting the container into a living or working space.
9What types of payments do you accept?
We accept various payment methods including cards and bank transfers. We do not accept business credit cards. Contact our sales team for more details.
10 How quickly can I get a container?
Delivery times vary depending on our stock. Generally, we can arrange delivery within 3 to 5 days or 1 to 2 weeks if we need to source a unit for you. For urgent needs, ask about our express delivery options.
11Are your containers eco-friendly?
Yes! Reusing shipping containers is an excellent way to recycle. By giving these containers a second life, we're reducing waste and the need for new materials.

Remember, our team is always here to answer any additional questions you might have. Don't hesitate to reach out for more information or clarification on any aspect of our containers or services.
