If you need a shipping container quickly, you don't want to wait weeks for a quote or delivery through an unclear chain of middlemen. At HEROX, a shipping container is available for immediate delivery from our own European stock: you'll know exactly where you stand, and the container is usually in place at your chosen location within a week.
Available for immediate delivery means the container doesn't have to be ordered from a factory or through a trader first — it's already physically present at one of our European depots. Because HEROX imports directly and holds its own stock, there's no waiting for a seller to source the container after you order it. In practice, that often saves days to weeks.
Once you submit your request, the local team checks straight away whether the type and size you want are available. If the container is in stock, you'll receive a concrete quote with price, availability and delivery date. On working days, this happens within an hour by email, so you're not left waiting around for days.
Shipping containers in stock come in various sizes and configurations. The most popular sizes are 10ft (around 3 metres), 20ft (around 6 metres) and 40ft (around 12 metres). There's also the 45ft version, at around 13.7 metres. High Cube versions are 30 centimetres taller than standard, with an internal height of 2.70 metres, giving extra loading volume. Double-door, open-side, flat rack and refrigerated containers are also available on request.
Alongside standard sizes, you can also choose between new and used:
If you'd like a container converted into an office or workshop, this is done in our own workshop before delivery. Think of extra personnel doors, windows, electrics, insulation or a lock box to prevent break-ins. You can read more about this in converting a shipping container into an office, workshop or garage.
The shipping container price depends on the type, size, condition (new or used) and any modifications. Transport also plays a part: the distance to the depot and how accessible the location is both affect the final storage container price. You'll only receive an exact quote, including transport, after submitting a request with your required specifications and delivery location.
There are three ways to pay:
| Payment method | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Bank transfer in advance | 5% discount on the purchase price |
| Pay after delivery | See it first, then pay: no risk of paying upfront without delivery |
| Pay in instalments (up to 36 months) | Through licensed European finance partners, from around €60 per month |
If you find the same container in the same condition cheaper elsewhere, our lowest price guarantee applies: HEROX matches that price and adds an extra discount on top. Simply send in the competing quote.
As well as buying, a shipping container is also available to hire, from around €60 per month depending on type and rental period. Hiring is particularly attractive for temporary needs, such as a renovation or event, while buying usually works out cheaper for long-term use. You'll find more details on rental prices and rental periods in hiring a shipping container: monthly price, rental period and flexible options.
If you're weighing up buying versus hiring for a construction project, buying or hiring a site container is a good place to start. If you're interested in hiring, simply provide your name and phone number, and you'll receive a rental proposal.
As soon as the quote is approved, delivery is scheduled. Transport is carried out using a crane truck or side-loader, and the container is placed exactly where you want it. Delivery usually takes 3 to 7 working days, provided the ground is reasonably flat and firm and the location is accessible for a lorry. This applies nationwide, regardless of region; see also buying or hiring a shipping container by region for regional details.
Because HEROX imports directly and manages its own stock at European depots, there's no intermediary to slow down the process or make it unclear. That means a single point of contact from quote to delivery, transparency about origin and inspection, and secure payment methods. Unfortunately, the container trade does include some parties who ask for full payment upfront without delivering; that's why HEROX always offers the option to pay after delivery or finance in instalments. You can read more about this in buying a shipping container safely with no middleman.
Check current stock in the shop or request a quote directly via contact. Let us know the container type you want and the delivery location, and you'll receive a concrete proposal within an hour on working days.

After you let us know the container type you want and the delivery location, you'll receive a concrete quote by email within an hour on working days, including price, availability and delivery date. For this, we just need your name plus phone number or email address.
