Compare UK shipping container suppliers: depots and dated prices
These are real companies with real depots, not a directory padded out to fill a page. Where a supplier publishes a price, we have recorded it and dated it; where one does not, we say so rather than guess on their behalf. Read every figure as evidence of the level, on the seller's own terms — never as an offer made to you.
One of Europe's most transparent markets — dealers publish lists. The unwritten rule is + VAT unless explicitly stated, and geography sets prices.
- Price lists, not enquiry forms
- Britain is among the most transparent container markets in Europe: dealers here publish price lists instead of hiding behind an enquiry form. Universal Containers, working out of the container park at Irlam near Manchester, goes furthest of all, listing each product both ex and inc VAT — a rarity even here.
- Assume + VAT
- The unwritten national rule is that any figure you see is + VAT unless it explicitly says otherwise. Add the tax before you compare anything with anything.
- Where ships and lorries meet
- Stock sits where the ships and the lorries meet — Felixstowe, Southampton, Liverpool and Grays on the water, Birmingham, Leeds, Teesside and Glasgow inland. Cleveland Containers, S Jones Containers, Billie Box and Willbox all price off that geography, which is why the same box lands at a different figure in Cornwall and in County Durham.
- Hire rates hide the haulage
- Underneath the list-price dealers sit two other trades. The first is the hire firms, whose weekly rates read as trivially cheap until you notice the haulage each way is the actual bill.
- Quote-only, not evasive
- The second is the quote-only houses — Adaptainer, Containers Direct, TITAN with its ArcticStore refrigerated range, Garic and Kabin Hire on welfare units. Their silence on price is structural rather than evasive, because nothing they sell has a list price.

What they were asking on the day
Read these figures the way the trade writes them: unless the supplier states otherwise, a British price is + VAT, ex-depot, and excludes delivery to you. A weekly hire rate is not the cost of hiring — the haulage in and out routinely outweighs months of rate, and the low headline exists because of it. Each figure also attaches to one particular unit in one particular condition, so it tells you the level of the market, not the size of your invoice.
