Shipping Containers Simplified

Andrew Laws on September 23, 2020

Shipping Containers can be a confusing topic. At least on first glance it certainly appears so. If you find yourself in the position where you need to buy a shipping container there are likely a lot of questions swirling around your head.

  • Are all shipping containers made the same way?
  • How are shipping containers delivered to site?
  • How soon can I get a container?
  • What size options are available?
  • Do all containers open the same way?

These are just a few of the questions we know first time buyers of shipping containers ask themselves.

We make buying shipping containers simple

Yes, it’s true that the world of shipping containers is a complex one. There are infinite levels of complexity at play. But you can ignore all of them.

We obsess over the details so you don’t have to! We use our vast experience of buying, selling, renting out and delivering shipping containers around the UK to shield our customers from the complexities and the hassles.

If you need a shipping container for storage you probably need it delivered fairly quickly. No problem. You might need a certain size of shipping container. Simple! Perhaps you have concerns about exactly how you’ll get your shipping container into place? Guess what; we’ll take the strain away from you.

Our experience and attention to detail makes your life easier
In the world of shipping containers we’ve ‘been there, done that, got the tee-shirt’. I mean that in a quite literal sense; have a look around our website and you’ll see photos of us wearing Billie Box tee shirts! But in all seriousness, we excel at solving problems.

Most container purchases and deliveries are really very simple (from our perspective), but over the years we’ve dealt with some fairly unique challenges, as well as a handful of situations that have been, well, a little weird.

So what does all this mean for you?
There’s a reason we use the phrase ‘Shipping Containers Simplified’ in our marketing. We mean it. We are confident that if you need a shipping container, but don’t need the hassle, then we’re the right people to ask.

Jane on June 7, 2017

Many people ask ‘How do I buy a shipping container’? Well, Billie Box can help you with that.

First of all you need to find a friendly container company like Billie Box that will give a you a quote in a timely manner. Billie Box will ask you for the following information:

  1. What size shipping container would you like? 10ft, 20ft or 40ft
  2. Would you like to buy or hire?
  3. If you would like to buy, would you like New or Used? By the way we sell 20ft and 40ft in new or used condition and 10ft in new condition only.
  4. Where would you like delivery of your container? A postcode would be best.
  5. We would require your email address so we can send you a written quotation.

Once we have this information, we will then research a transport cost and send you a written quotation via email. We often manage to reply to customers within 1 hour; occasionally, it can take a little longer if we are checking stocks for availability.

Billie Box then follows up with you within a few days, if we have not already heard from you.

To buy a shipping container, please provide Billie Box with the following details:

  1. Your Invoice name and address
  2. Your delivery name and address (if different)
  3. Site name and number for the driver to call on the day of delivery
  4. A purchase order number for the invoice (if you require it)
  5. Your full equipment specification, with accessories and delivery.

Once Billie Box has these details, they will prepare and email you an invoice and any relevant paperwork.

Once Billie Box receives your payment, they will then confirm a mutually agreed delivery date.

On the day of delivery, our driver will call your site contact 1 hour prior to his ETA.
