How it works

An independent comparison tool designed for individuals, construction industry professionals, and businesses tired of wasting hours contacting five suppliers one by one.

Three steps, two minutes

1

You fill out our form

10 fields, no account creation. You specify: product type (container, site cabin, portable cabin), purchase or rental, desired condition, volume, delivery city, deadline. You leave your contact details. You choose your preferred response channel (email, phone, or both).

2

Our algorithm selects up to 5 suppliers

A request may be sent to a maximum of five active partners according to country, served regions, container type and reception preferences. Selection order may depend on their subscription tier. This filtering does not check live stock or guarantee quality, number of replies or quote timing. Each supplier must confirm availability and terms.

3

You compare, you choose

You may receive up to 5 quotes depending on the container type, delivery area and available suppliers. The number of replies and response time depend on the partners; neither up to 5 quotes nor a fixed deadline is guaranteed.

What we do NOT do (and why)

We do not sell shipping containers

ContainerEU connects buyers with independent suppliers. Selection may consider country, regions, product type and the partner’s subscription plan. Compare offers; neither responses from several suppliers nor a final price is guaranteed.

We do not charge commission

Zero. Neither on purchase nor on rental. If a supplier sells you a shipping container for £2,109, you pay £2,109 — nothing more, nothing less. Our business model relies on suppliers financing their visibility among qualified clients.

We do not resell your contact details

The contact details needed for your request are shared with the recipient partners. See the privacy policy for purposes, recipients and how to exercise your rights; the service does not certify each supplier’s compliance.

We do not let just anyone enter the network

Before signing, check the business identity in the register applicable to the country, insurance, references and delivery terms. Ask the supplier for evidence: partner status does not replace these checks.

For whom?

Individuals

You are looking for a container for your garden, a workshop shed, a tiny house, a containerised pool, a garage: we compare offers from suppliers who deliver to you.

SMEs and artisans

You need a storage container, a site bungalow, a modular sanitary unit. You want to quickly and efficiently compare options without spending your evenings on it.

SMBs and large accounts

Multi-site construction sites, logistics, events, agriculture: we centralise your requests, consolidate quotes. For high volumes, we can also put you in direct contact with our manufacturing partners.

Independence, transparency, data protection

With your consent, your request and contact details are shared with up to 5 ContainerEU suppliers and with Quotbox, which may share them with up to 5 additional partners (a maximum of 10 professionals in total). You can withdraw consent at any time.
