  #### FAQs about using shipping containers in Runcorn

#### Do you buy back containers in Runcorn?

Yes, Shipping Containers of Liverpool offers a buy-back service for containers purchased from us. The value is determined by current market rates, the condition of your container, and transport costs. Get in touch to arrange an appraisal and discuss the process.

#### Is there a difference between new and used containers?

New (single-trip) containers are typically imported from China with only one cargo use and arrive in pristine condition. Used containers are retired from shipping fleets and, although older, are inspected to ensure they are wind and watertight. Both options are suitable for storage, with new containers offering a premium appearance and longevity.

#### Are fireproof shipping containers available?

While made from steel and marine plywood, making them highly resistant to fire, no container is completely fireproof. Always follow safe storage guidelines, particularly for hazardous or flammable materials.
