Our Story
From Houston Docks to Nationwide Doorsteps
Founded in Houston, Texas in 2020, Outback Shipping Containers began with a simple mission: make quality shipping containers accessible to everyone, everywhere in the United States. Located minutes from the Port of Houston — one of the busiest container ports in the nation — we built direct relationships with shipping lines, importers, and logistics providers to source premium containers at competitive prices before they ever reach the secondary market.
What started as a small yard operation has grown into a nationwide container supplier serving homeowners, contractors, businesses, and government agencies across all 50 states. Our team of container specialists brings decades of combined experience in logistics, construction, modification, and customer service — ensuring every project, large or small, is handled with expertise and care.
Today, we carry one of the largest container inventories in the country, offering everything from standard 10ft storage units to 40ft high-cube containers, refrigerated reefers, open-top units, and flat racks. Every container is inspected, graded, and certified wind & watertight before it reaches your property — backed by our written quality guarantee.
- Direct sourcing from shipping lines and Port of Houston import programs
- In-house fabrication team for full custom build-outs
- One of the largest container inventories in the country
- Nationwide logistics network covering all 50 states

Site preparation — who does what
Site Readiness: Prepared by You — or by Our Crew
To be clear: site preparation is done by you, the customer. Outback does not perform site work automatically — your delivery covers transporting and placing the container, not preparing the ground. In her on-site video, Donna Jean Graham explains exactly what you need to do to prepare your site, from clearing and leveling the placement area to confirming safe truck access before delivery day.
Prefer to leave it to us? You can pay Outback to prepare the site for you as an arranged service — we come out and do the work. The photo shows one of these arranged projects: Donald J. Graham reviewing the site with the client while our crew forms, levels, and finishes the concrete pad. Final foundation design, reinforcement, drainage, and permits remain subject to the project requirements and the appropriate local professionals.
- A level, compacted placement area, prepared by you
- Clear truck access and overhead clearance on delivery day
- Permits, drainage, and utilities arranged before delivery
// Leadership · The People Behind Every Container
The people accountable for
your container.
A named leadership team owns sourcing, quality, delivery, and fabrication — not an anonymous call center. Every unit that leaves our yard has been signed off by one of these four people.
Elena Vasquez
Chief Operating Officer
Runs day-to-day operations across sourcing, inspection, and customer delivery. Enforces the multi-point QA process that certifies every unit wind & watertight in writing.
Andre Bennett
VP, Logistics & Nationwide Delivery
Owns the 50-state delivery network. 18 years in heavy-haul dispatch, tilt-bed, and crane placement — the reason your container arrives on the day we promised.
Mei-Lin Tanaka
Director of Fabrication & Modifications
Leads our in-house fabrication shop. AWS-certified welder with a background in modular architecture — signs off on every custom cut, weld, and finish that leaves the floor.
Family Owned
Houston, Texas
Real People. Real Containers.
A Family-Owned Business You Can Trust
Outback Shipping Containers is family-owned and operated out of Houston, Texas. When you call us, you speak with the same people who source, inspect, and deliver your container — not a call center. Every unit leaves our yard with a written wind & watertight guarantee, because we stand behind what we sell to our own community.

Our Brand & Culture
"The Best Box in Town" — Worn With Pride
Our team wears the Outback Shipping Containers brand every day, in the yard and on the road. It is more than a uniform — it is a promise we make to every homeowner, contractor, and business owner who trusts us with their project: honest sourcing, careful handling, and a container we would stand behind ourselves.
That promise shows up in the small things — a clean, inspected unit, a driver who calls ahead, a set-down placed exactly where you asked — and in the big ones: transparent pricing, written wind & watertight certification, and support that stays with you long after delivery. When you see our shirt, you are looking at the same people who source, inspect, quote, and deliver your container.
- A visible, accountable team — same people from quote to delivery
- Consistent standards across every yard, route, and job site
- Family-run culture built on craftsmanship and customer trust
- Proud representation of American small-business values

How We Source
Direct Sourcing & Quality Inspection
We source our containers directly from major shipping lines, port import programs, and one-trip international arrivals — securing premium units before they reach the secondary market. This direct pipeline means better condition, better pricing, and consistent availability across every size and type, from standard dry vans to reefers and specialty containers.
Every container passes a documented multi-point inspection before it is listed for sale. Our specialists check doors, seals, flooring, structural integrity, and weatherproofing, then grade each unit and certify it wind & watertight in writing — so you know exactly what you are buying before it ever leaves our yard.
- Direct sourcing from shipping lines and port import programs
- Multi-point inspection: doors, seals, flooring, structure, weatherproofing
- IICL-aligned grading with written condition reports
- Wind & watertight certification guaranteed in writing

AWS-certified welders and trained specialists handle every cut, weld, and finish to professional standards. Whether you need a single roll-up door or a complete architectural build-out, we manage the entire process from design and engineering through final inspection and delivery.
