A used shipping container has typically spent 10–15 years in global transport, so signs of wear such as rust patches, repaired paintwork, and surface dents are normal.
Despite this, all our used shipping containers are guaranteed wind and watertight. Choosing used can be a better option than new ‘single trip’ when appearance is less important and value matters, making it a durable, practical and cost-effective solution for businesses and individuals needing secure on-site storage today.

Built to ISO standards, they are highly secure and are wind and watertight.

Yes, used shipping containers can be converted and modified in the same way as new containers. We regularly transform second-hand units into offices, pop-up retail spaces, plant rooms, welfare facilities, chemical storage units and more.

No, we cannot provide photos of the exact used shipping container prior to delivery because stock moves quickly across our depots throughout Great Britain. All of our used containers are guaranteed wind and watertight, but they will show signs of previous service such as dents, scuffs and weathered paint. If the appearance of your container is important, we recommend choosing a new single-trip container, which offers a much smarter external finish and cleaner interior.
Unfortunately our delivery was delayed by several hours but the driver made up for lost time, he was very polite and proffessional and sited the container inch perfect.
I was treated extremely well they took care of what I needed without any fuss.
I cannot thank the staff at S Jones Containers enough. Everyone I spoke to went over and above to help. The containers were ordered and delivered in a very timely manner. We were kept informed at all times. The containers arrived at the time expected and were very easy to install. Thank you to everyone at S Jones Containers. I would highly recommend this company, it was a pleasure doing business with them.
Shazia was helpful from my first enquiry to the delivery of my container. She sorted any query and enabled me to buy exactly what I was looking for. The driver who delivered container was also a credit to his company. Nothing was too much trouble and everything done with a smile .
