Condition Guide

Understanding Container Grades

Not sure what condition to choose? Here's our straightforward guide to every grade we sell.

1-Trip New

A 1-trip container has carried cargo once from the manufacturer. It usually has less wear than a used container and is often chosen for offices and conversions.

Common uses: Conversions and long-term storage

Grade A Used

Structurally sound, watertight, and wind-tight with only minor surface wear. Serviced and inspected before sale. Less visible wear than Grade B stock.

Common uses: Business and site storage

Grade B Used

Fully functional and watertight with more visible surface wear. Dents, surface rust and faded paintwork are normal. Each unit is structurally sound and checked before despatch. This is our most cost-effective option.

Common uses: Site and temporary storage

Not sure which grade is right for you? and we'll recommend the best option for your use case.

Common Questions

Shipping Container Sales FAQs

Everything you need to know before buying a container.

How much does a shipping container cost in the UK?
Prices depend on size, condition and delivery location. 20ft low-grade used containers start from £950 + VAT, 10ft refurbished units from £1,650 + VAT, and 40ft used containers from £1,450 + VAT. New 1-trip containers start from £1,900 + VAT (20ft), £2,750 + VAT (10ft) and £3,050 + VAT (40ft). Contact Roseberry Containers for an accurate quote tailored to your requirements.
What is a 1-trip shipping container?
A 1-trip container has carried cargo once from the manufacturer. It usually has less wear than a used container and is often chosen for offices, conversions and long-term storage.
What is the difference between Grade A and Grade B used containers?
Grade A used containers are structurally sound, wind and watertight, with only minor cosmetic wear. Grade B containers are fully functional and watertight but show more visible surface wear such as dents, surface rust or faded paint. Both are inspected before sale.
What sizes of shipping containers can I buy?
Roseberry Containers supply 10ft, 20ft and 40ft shipping containers for sale. The 20ft is the most popular size for general storage and site use. Hi-cube and side-opening variants are also available. Contact us for availability.
How much does container delivery cost?
UK delivery typically adds £250–£700 + VAT depending on your location, access and whether a crane lift is required. We provide a clear delivery quote upfront with no hidden costs.
Are your containers wind and watertight?
Yes. Every container we sell, whether 1-trip new or used, is inspected to ensure it is structurally sound, wind and watertight before despatch.
Do I need planning permission for a shipping container?
In most cases a container used temporarily on private land does not require planning permission, but permanent placement or use in front gardens may need approval. We recommend checking with your local council if unsure.
