Answers to the most important questions about shipping containers from EU Containers.
How much does a shipping container cost?

How long does delivery take?
The standard delivery time is 5–7 working days after order confirmation. We deliver throughout the Netherlands and coordinate the installation exactly as you wish.
A "one-trip" container is a shipping container that has been used only once for transporting goods from its point of manufacture to its destination.
A one-trip container has only been used once – usually for one shipment from the factory. It's almost as good as new and offers the best value for money.
Do I need a permit for a skip?
This varies by municipality. Temporary storage containers are often permitted without a licence, but a building permit may be required for permanent placement or conversion into living space. Please check with your municipality.
What container sizes are there?
We supply 20ft, 40ft, 40ft high cube, and special sizes. All variants are available new or used. Custom special lengths are also possible.
Can I have containers customised individually?
Yes, absolutely. We offer windows, doors (shutters or roller shutters), ventilation, insulation, electrical work, shelving and colour schemes. Our fit-out services create offices, retail spaces, canteens and much more.
