First choice container with our 12 foot shipping container delivers industrial-grade security in a space-efficient design. Perfect for contractors, inventory overflow, and residential storage.
If you need secure storage but don’t have room for a 20ft or 40ft container, the 12ft mini is your answer. Built to the same rugged standards as ISO shipping containers, this compact unit delivers unmatched security and durability in a space-efficient design as a mini shipping container.
Ideal uses include:
Garden shed for tools, bikes, and outdoor furniture
Job site storage for contractor tools and materials
Business storage for retail stock, documents, or equipment
Portable workshop or on-site office
Event storage for equipment and supplies

gronholm holdingsEverything worked perfectly for the delivery of my first of two containers I’ve ordered from this company. I have had two other containers delivered by another company, and the difference was Night and Day. This driver was very professional and knew exactly how to handle his truck. He was also very helpful and wanted to do his best to get the container where I wanted it. Which I truthfully didn't think he could do. I had already planned on getting a skid steer to move one End into position. But this driver was able to position the container almost exactly where I needed it. Can't commend him enough. I am planning on getting one more container from this same company.Posted on Google

Ryan KrauseExceptional customer service from First Choice Containers. I just got a one trip 40Ft High Cube container. Their prices can’t be beat, I received 3 quotes from other container supply companies and First Choice Containers blew them all out of the water. The lower price even included tax and the delivery. I was promptly contacted by their sales team after requesting a quote and all questions I had could be answered without a delay or “call back later”. They accepted multiple forms of payment, even a COD type of payment when the container is on site getting dropped off. The delivery driver had the best communication skills I’ve seen out of ANY industry. I was promptly informed of a delivery date, time window and when they were 30 minutes away. I was even quickly notified if there were any delays in getting the container dropped off within the estimated time frame. First Coice Containers will be MY first choice when purchasing another container in the future and I recommend anyone else looking for a container to suit their needs to seriously consider giving them a call.Posted on Google
Tracy ProctorSuper fast delivery time. Professional driver parked it right where we wanted. Minimal dents and no ugly scratches on mine. Water and critter proof. Really pleased with whole process and product!Posted on Google
