How it works
Whether you are a private buyer, construction professional or business, describe your project once. Your request may be sent to up to five suppliers, depending on the partners available.
Three steps, two minutes
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).
Our algorithm selects up to 5 suppliers
Your request may be sent to no more than five active partners. They are selected by country, delivery areas, container type and the requests they agree to receive. Their subscription may also affect the selection order. We do not check live stock. Selection does not guarantee quality, any particular number of replies or a response time: each supplier must confirm availability and terms.
You compare, you choose
You may receive up to 5 quotes, depending on the container, delivery area and available suppliers. Suppliers decide whether and when to reply, so we cannot guarantee 5 replies or a fixed response time.
How long does it really take?
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
Partners who receive your request also receive the contact details they need to reply. The privacy policy explains who uses this information, why and how to exercise your rights. Our service does not certify that each supplier meets all its obligations.
We do not let just anyone enter the network
Before signing, check the company in its country's official business register. Ask for proof of insurance, references and delivery terms. Being a partner 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, we send your request and contact details to no more than 5 ContainerEU suppliers and to Quotbox. Quotbox may send them to 5 more partners, making 10 professionals at most in total. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
