CONTAINER PURCHASE, DELIVERY AND PLACEMENT ON PROPERTY WAS EXCELLENT. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
William, delivered our containers on yesterday he was very professional and on time with both containers.
The process was seemless. The delivery guys were professional and lovely to work with. The price for our 2 40ft containers was excellent!
Everything was perfect. The deliver guy was really helpful.
Great Experience!! From the beginning of inquiry until the driver left our location, EVERYTHING was PERFECT. Communication, payment, delivery, and any questions/concerns, they handled it all. Very friendly people and very helpful. We highly recommend this company for your shipping container needs. THANKS!!!
I would definitely use Boxhub again. Ordering was easy and delivered on the date specified. The delivery driver Dave was awesome. I ordered a 40 foot container. It took sometime but he got it in place. Definitely a two thumbs up . If you need a container just remember. There are a lot of scams out there. They take your money and don't ever deliver. Boxhub maybe a couple hundred more. To me it was worth it not to have a headache. Thanks Boxhub !!!
Placing the order and delivery were easy for the purchase of a container. Scheduling and delivery were prompt and the driver was excellent. Would use again for my next purchase.
We are very pleased with our BoxHub experience. The process was easy, and setting up delivery was a breeze. We worked with Steven J at BoxHub, Elizabeth set up delivery and Leon was our delivery driver. Everything went smoothly and the containers are exactly what Steven said they would be. Elizabeth gave us Leon's name when scheduling and he called us the evening before hand as promised. Leon maneuvered his truck on our challenging driveway/hill with grace and a smile, then dropped the containers exactly where we needed them. Thank you for doing as you say you will.
Box hub fit the needs of my shipping container. The day before deliver there sub contractor called to cancel the delivery for the day scheduled. Called box hub and they worked hard to correct the issue and found a delivery contract for the day promised. Them fixing it seamlessly make me a very happy customer. The container is as promised air and water tight. I'd recommend box hub for your shipping container needs.
Product is exactly as we wanted, and the delivery team did an amazing job dropping it on site perfectly. Thank you again.
Professional and prompt
The ease of the transaction and delivery service were above my expectation. I'll definitely recommend this company.

A shipping container is a large steel box manufactured and used for international shipping. They can transport everything from shoes to food, medicine to toys. Around 90-95% of the world's goods are transported by shipping containers. They're also popular for storage, housing projects, offices, and creative builds.
Boxhub provides new and used shipping containers for sale in over 40 markets across the United States and Canada. Simply enter your zip code on our website to see available containers and pricing for your area.
Not at all! Boxhub sells shipping containers for storage, housing, offices, workshops, garages, and countless other uses. While they're called 'shipping' containers, most of our customers use them for on-site storage and creative projects.
There are two ways to buy: online or through our sales team. Online purchasing is simple — just like shopping on Amazon. Visit our shop, select your container size and condition, enter your delivery address, and checkout. Alternatively, call or chat with our sales team for personalized assistance.
Our primary business is standard dry storage containers in 20ft and 40ft sizes, available in both standard and high-cube heights. We offer new (one-trip) containers in excellent condition and used (wind & watertight) containers that are fully functional at a lower price point.
An empty 20ft container weighs around 5,000 lbs and has a loading capacity of 62,000 lbs. An empty 40ft container weighs around 8,200 lbs and has a loading capacity of 63,000 lbs.
A 20ft container offers about 1,170 cubic feet of space — enough for a small apartment's worth of furniture, a vehicle, or significant inventory. A 40ft container doubles that to about 2,390 cubic feet. Common uses include storing vehicles, equipment, furniture, inventory, and building materials.
Shipping containers are made from COR-TEN steel (weathering steel) — a highly durable material resistant to corrosion, designed to endure decades navigating harsh sea environments. They feature corrugated steel sides, steel framing, and 1 1/8" thick marine plywood floors.
Yes! Bulk discounts are available for all orders of 5 or more shipping containers. We also occasionally run seasonal sales and market-specific offers. Contact our sales team to learn about current deals in your area.
