SHIPPING CONTAINER ADVERTISING

Sell your shipping container online

We accept listings for standard dry containers, high cubes, refrigerated units, open tops, flat racks and conversions. Tell us type, dimensions, condition and any certification so buyers know exactly what you have to offer and can enquire.

We prompt the details buyers need: external and internal measurements, door aperture, floor type, visible repairs, manufacture year and any access or delivery notes. Provide clear photos and a short video so enquiries focus on the container itself and not logistics.

We connect buyers directly to you with no commission on the sale. Include collection location and contact preference in your advert so buyers can reach you to discuss collection, delivery or inspection.

How much does it cost to advertise containers?

Standard listing is £8 for the first 8 weeks then £1/week per listing. Boosted listing is £16 for the first 8 weeks then £2/week in total. Both include photos and video and no commission on your sale.

Can I advertise more than one container?

Yes. Choose any number from 1 to 25 at £1/week per listing. You can mix Standard and Boosted listings across that quantity range. Each listing has an 8-week minimum and you manage enquiries directly with buyers.
