  • 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 !!!

    Danilo Sierra
  • 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.

Why Use Shipping Containers for Military & Government?

Cost-Effectiveness

Military and government agencies can save significant amounts of money by repurposing shipping containers for their needs. Used shipping containers can be acquired at a lower cost compared to constructing new facilities from scratch.

Durability and Security

Shipping containers are wind and watertight, they can withstand severe storms, heavy rain, powerful winds, and challenging natural disasters. This makes them ideal for storing and transporting sensitive equipment, weapons, and supplies.

Flexibility and Portability

The modular nature of shipping containers allows for easy modification and relocation. Containers can be stacked, modified, and easily transferred from location to location as needed with no risk of structural damage.
