FAQ

Straight answers to the usual questions

How fast can I get a container in Gympie?

That comes down to stock in the grade you want and what the truck schedule looks like. Ring 0487 176 951 and we will tell you what is on the ground and when it can go out — then we lock in a day and keep to it.

Do you deliver outside the Gympie region?

Yes — we quote every container enquiry in Australia. Local is our home turf, but freight lanes run everywhere, and we price them daily.

What do I need ready before delivery?

Firm, fairly level ground, clear access for the truck, and ideally sleepers or blocks for the corners. We talk you through your specific spot before the truck is booked.

Are your used containers watertight?

That depends on the grade, so we'll always tell you which one you're being quoted. Cargo-worthy units are checked door-to-floor before they travel and are sold wind and watertight — if daylight gets in, it doesn't leave as cargo-worthy. As-is containers are the cheapest grade and are sold exactly as they stand, so they're not sold as watertight. Either way, ask for photos of your container before it's delivered.

Can I hire instead of buying?

Yes — 20ft units from $27/week with flexible terms. Past roughly two years of hire, buying usually works out cheaper; we'll tell you when that's you.

Do containers need council approval?

Rules vary by council and by how long the container stays. Many temporary placements are fine; permanent ones sometimes need approval. Gympie Regional Council's planning team can confirm for your block — worth a call for permanent placements.

Can you place a container on a sloped or soft block?

Usually, with the right truck and prep. Send photos of the spot and access with your enquiry and we'll give you a straight yes, no, or here's-what-it-needs.

What payment do you take?

Bank transfer and cards. Ask us for photos of your container and we'll send them through before it's delivered.

When are you open?

Mon–Fri 7:30am–5pm · Sat 8am–12pm. If we're on the road, leave a message or send the form and we'll ring you back.
