StoragePro Service vs Standard Container Purchase 

When launching a self storage business, one of the most important decisions is whether to simply purchase shipping containers, or to invest in a specialist support service designed to help you open, operate, and scale effectively. 

Both options provide storage containers, but the long-term value, strategic guidance, and growth potential differ significantly.

StoragePro is more than just purchasing containers – it is a tailored partnership for new and existing operators who want to maximise revenue, optimise site layout, and expand confidently. With StoragePro, you benefit from industry expertise at every stage of development, ensuring informed decisions, reduced risk, and faster, more profitable growth.

Standard Container Purchase

Buying containers outright is the most direct option. You receive the physical storage units, often delivered quickly to your chosen site.

This suits operators who already have a clear business model and site plan. However, container sales alone usually stop at delivery – meaning no support with planning, revenue forecasting, customer demand, or site expansion.

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 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 .
