Nelson Shipping Containers LTD sells a wide range of containers, including new containers, used containers, storage containers, high cube containers, side opening containers, tunnel containers, refrigerated containers, container cabins, site offices, modified containers, container pools, and specialist container units.

We supply different container sizes including 8ft, 10ft, 20ft, 30ft, 40ft, 45ft, and 53ft containers. Availability may vary depending on stock, container type, condition, and delivery location.

Yes. We supply both new and used shipping containers. New containers are ideal for customers who want the best appearance and long service life, while used containers are a practical and cost-effective option for secure storage and site use.

Many used containers are supplied as wind and watertight units suitable for general storage. Used containers may show cosmetic signs of age such as dents, scratches, marks, patches, or surface rust, but they are selected for practical storage use.

New containers are usually in cleaner condition with minimal previous use, while used containers have been in service before and may show visible wear. Used containers are often more affordable, while new containers offer a smarter finish and longer expected service life.

A high cube container is taller than a standard shipping container, giving extra internal height for storage, machinery, shelving, conversions, and items that require more vertical space.

A side opening container has doors along the side, allowing wider access than standard end doors. These containers are useful for loading pallets, machinery, materials, retail stock, bulky items, and equipment that needs easier access.

A tunnel container has doors at both ends, making it easier to access stored goods from either side. Tunnel containers are useful for organised storage, frequent loading, and separating different types of items inside one unit.

Yes. Nelson Shipping Containers LTD provides delivery support across the United Kingdom. Delivery depends on location, access, product availability, container size, and transport requirements.

Standard delivery is normally within 5–7 days maximum after order confirmation, payment clearance, and receipt of all required delivery details, subject to availability, access, and transport scheduling.

Our standard flat shipping fee is £337, unless otherwise stated in your quote, invoice, or order confirmation. This fee may change due to currency value, transport costs, fuel costs, remote locations, or special delivery requirements.

You should provide your full name, phone number, email address, delivery address, postcode, preferred delivery date, site access details, and any important information about gates, narrow roads, slopes, overhead cables, trees, or restricted access.

Containers should be placed on firm, level, stable ground. Concrete pads, railway sleepers, paving slabs, blocks, or a compacted hardstanding base may help improve stability, drainage, and door operation.

Planning permission depends on your location, intended use, how long the container will stay, and local authority rules. Customers should check with their local council or planning authority before placing a container where permission may be required.

Placement depends on delivery vehicle access, ground conditions, safety, overhead clearance, and unloading method. The final position should be prepared and confirmed before delivery, but exact placement may depend on site conditions.

If delivery cannot be completed because of unsafe or unsuitable access, additional charges may apply for waiting time, redelivery, transport, storage, or cancellation. Customers should provide accurate access details before delivery is arranged.

Modified, bespoke, personalised, or made-to-order containers may not be eligible for return unless they are faulty, not as described, or do not meet the agreed specification. Customers should confirm all custom details before work begins.

Yes. Used containers may include dents, scratches, paint marks, patches, surface rust, previous labels, repairs, and general signs of use. These cosmetic signs are normal and do not usually affect practical storage use.
