(778) 694-4050

Serving Kersley and the Fraser River South of Quesnel

Valleyview Containers supplies new and used shipping containers to Kersley, the rural community on Highway 97 just south of Quesnel near the Fraser River. A short trail at Sisters Creek leads to a viewpoint over the river. Acreage owners, horse owners and families with a shop to fill use containers for hay, saddles, tools and equipment, and with cold winters and plenty of snow, sealed storage matters.

We deliver 20ft and 40ft containers in standard and high-cube heights, with double-door, side-door and refrigerated units for anyone storing meat or produce. Each one is inspected, wind and watertight, and priced all-in with delivery north from our Kamloops yard on Highway 97. Ground can be soft during spring thaw, so tell us about your site and we will help you pick a firm, level spot.

FAQ

Kersley shipping container FAQ

Straight answers on buying, delivering and setting up a container in Kersley and across the Cariboo.

Buying in Kersley

Can I get a shipping container delivered to Kersley?

Yes. Valleyview delivers new and used containers to homes, businesses and job sites in Kersley and across the Cariboo, most of them set down by a tilt-deck truck that slides the container onto your prepared site. Distance changes the delivery quote rather than whether Kersley is served; what decides whether a particular site works is the route in and the access at the drop spot.

Do listed container prices include delivery to Kersley?

No. Listed container prices are in Canadian dollars plus tax and delivery, and delivery to Kersley is quoted separately. Each site is quoted on its own: the distance from where the container ships (the Kamloops yard or a partner depot) to your address in Kersley, the roads on the way in, and how easily the truck can line up and back in all count. Valleyview doesn’t publish a flat delivery rate or a free-delivery zone; what’s free is the delivery quote itself.

How long does it take to get a container delivered to Kersley?

The delivery date is agreed when you order rather than promised in advance. It depends on where your container is coming from, the distance to Kersley, your site, and road and weather conditions. With your quote, Valleyview confirms access, quotes the delivery and gives you a delivery window, so mention any deadline you’re working to when you ask.

Do I have to come to Kamloops to buy a container for delivery to Kersley?

No. You can request a quote by phone, email or the website’s quote form and confirm the order when you accept it, all without visiting. Valleyview’s only yard is in Kamloops, at D3-1764 Kelly Douglas Rd, and Valleyview doesn’t operate a depot in Kersley; your container comes from that yard or from a partner depot. When it arrives, you or someone you designate inspects it and signs the delivery receipt, noting any damage at that time.

Which containers can I get delivered to Kersley?

All three sizes, 10ft, 20ft and 40ft, can be delivered to Kersley. The catalogue has the new 10ft; new and used 20ft units, new 20ft double-door and side-door units and a 20ft refrigerated container; new 40ft high cubes; and used 40ft containers in standard or high cube height. What’s in Valleyview’s yard now is on the live inventory page, other units can be sourced through partner depots, and availability is confirmed with your quote.

Compare all containers
Can I see a container before it’s delivered to Kersley?

Yes, in a few ways. Each listing on the live inventory page is a unit physically in the Kamloops yard, with a photo when available, its recorded condition and its unit number when legible. For a unit sourced from a partner depot, ask what photos and condition details come with your quote. If you’re passing through Kamloops, call ahead to arrange a look in person, and inspect the container again when it arrives.

See the yard inventory
Is the listed price what I’ll pay for a container in Kersley?

The listed range is a guide to the container itself, and your quote confirms the exact figure. Where a container lands in its range depends on its condition, its colour if it’s new and where it’s sourced, which is why buyers in different towns can see different figures for the same container. Prices are in Canadian dollars plus tax, with delivery quoted separately.

What does my site need for container delivery in Kersley?

A straight, clear approach for the truck and a firm, level spot for the container. For a 20ft, allow 72 feet of total clear length in a straight line, including where the container will sit, plus at least 10 to 12 feet of width and 16 feet of overhead clearance; a 40ft needs more, so ask. Compacted gravel, asphalt or concrete works, ideally with blocks under the corners. Before you book, walk the route in and measure the narrowest gate or gap.

Do you deliver to acreages and off-grid properties near Kersley?

Yes, and they’re quoted like any other delivery, by distance and by what the route and site need. Before booking, the route is planned the way it actually drives, including the approach, the turnaround and the set-down. Send GPS coordinates or a map pin for a site without a street address, describe gates, forks and creek crossings, and add photos of the access road and drop spot.

Should I get a 20ft or 40ft container for a property in Kersley?

A 20ft suits household, tool and job-site storage, and a 40ft suits larger loads if the site has room for the truck. A 20ft holds about 1,170 cubic feet on a footprint roughly the size of a single-car garage, while a 40ft holds about 2,390 cubic feet, or about 2,690 as a high cube. A 10ft has half a 20ft’s footprint for tight lots, though supply is limited.

Is winter container delivery possible in Kersley?

It depends on the roads in and the state of your site on the day. In the Cariboo, snow, ice and road conditions can move a date, and Valleyview’s terms exclude liability for weather delays. Frozen ground can make some sites easier to reach, and remote sites are planned around seasonal access windows. Clear snow from the route and drop spot, and choose a spot that stays firm after the thaw.

What should I do to keep a container in good shape in Kersley?

Plan for temperature swings and winter cold. Keep snow and wet leaves off the roof, keep the vents clear and use desiccants so condensation doesn’t drip on your things. Avoid heating it on and off, which is harder on a container than no heat at all. Before winter, put graphite or a dry silicone lubricant in the lock, and after the spring thaw check that the container is still level.

What are the rules for placing a shipping container in Kersley?

It depends on your property and how you’ll use the container, so ask the local government or other authority responsible for land use at your address before ordering; on First Nation reserve land, that’s the Nation’s own lands, housing or public works process. The answer can change if you modify the container or live or work in it. Ask about the zone, setbacks, lot coverage, any permit or siting plan, and whether ALR, a floodplain or a covenant applies, then get the answer in writing.

Read the permits guide
Can you build a container office or workshop for a site in Kersley?

Yes. Site offices, workshops, cold storage and other builds are made in Valleyview’s Kamloops yard and delivered to Kersley like a plain container, with delivery quoted by distance and site access. Every build starts from an inspected, wind and watertight container, and one itemized quote covers the container, each modification and delivery before any steel gets cut. Timing depends on the spec and is confirmed in your quote.

Custom container builds
Can I pay monthly for a shipping container in Kersley?

Yes, through lease-to-own, the only financing Valleyview offers. You get one up-front quote for a 20ft or 40ft container that itemizes the monthly payment, the term and delivery to Kersley. Every payment builds toward ownership, you can pay out the balance early whenever you like, and at the end of the term the container is yours. The monthly cost depends on the container’s size, condition and your delivery location. Valleyview doesn’t rent containers, so lease-to-own is the monthly option.

How lease-to-own works
Where else in the Cariboo do you deliver besides Kersley?

All of the Cariboo, including Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, Forest Grove, Bridge Lake and Horsefly. Each delivery is quoted for its own address by distance and site access. If your community isn’t listed on the site, call (778) 694-4050: deliveries also go to off-grid sites, ranches, First Nations communities and end-of-road locations across BC.

How do I get a quote for container delivery to Kersley?

Call (778) 694-4050, email valleyviewcontainers@gmail.com, or use the quote form on the website. Say which size and condition you want, how many, and where it’s going; a postal code is enough to start, and the full address or directions are needed before you order. Photos of the access help. The quote is free, doesn’t commit you to buy, and gives one all-in price for the container and delivery.

Sizes & specs

Do I need a high cube, or will a standard-height container do?

Choose a high cube if you will stack pallets two high, build tall shelving, store tall equipment, insulate the box or work standing up inside it. A standard height usually does the job for low items such as totes, tools, tires and furniture. It also suits sites with tight overhead clearance, because a high cube rides about a foot higher on the delivery truck, and small lots where a lower profile matters. Some local governments regulate the height of accessory structures, so check before you order.

New & used containers

Can I choose the colour of a used container?

Not from the catalogue. A used container comes in whatever colour it wore in service, usually with some fading, so check the photo on a yard listing or ask what colour a unit is. If you need a particular colour, a container can be repainted in a RAL colour you choose before delivery, quoted per design, or you can choose a new 20ft in a factory RAL colour.

Custom paint and decals

Prices

What does a side-door shipping container cost?

A new 20ft side-door container is listed at $6,600–$9,000 and a new 40ft high cube side-door container at $9,000–$10,000, plus tax and delivery. Side-door units open along the full length of one wall, so you can reach any point inside without moving other things, which suits tool and parts storage, workshops and retail setups. Tell Valleyview which size you need and the quote will price it with delivery to your site.

Buying & paying

Can I cancel a container order or return a container?

If you cancel an order before delivery, cancellation fees may apply. Containers are generally not returnable once delivered, and any return has to be approved in advance and may carry restocking fees and transportation costs. Confirm your size, site access and any local government requirements before you order. If a container arrives with a defect that wasn’t disclosed at the time of sale, contact Valleyview right away to discuss a resolution.

Delivery

What happens on delivery day?

The driver calls when they are on the way. When the truck arrives, you confirm the exact spot and which way the doors face, then the deck tilts and the container slides off the back onto your prepared site. Give the operator room and stay beside or behind the moving container, never in front of it. Once it’s down, inspect it and sign the delivery receipt.

Do you deliver to Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast and the Gulf Islands?

Yes. Deliveries to Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast and the Gulf Islands are ferry-served, and the ferry is part of the delivery quote, so you get one all-in price for the container and its delivery before you commit. The site still needs a straight, clear approach for the truck, enough overhead space and firm, level ground where the container will sit.

Preparing your site

Does a shipping container need to be anchored or tied down?

That depends on the use and the location, so ask your municipality or regional district what applies to your property before delivery. A storage container is normally set on a level pad or on blocks under its corners. Once a container is treated as a building, anchoring designed for wind and seismic loads can be part of the stamped drawings, and for a home the engineer details how the corner castings tie down.

Owning a container

Should I write down my container’s unit number?

Yes. Every container carries a unique owner code and serial number, four letters and seven digits, stamped on the doors and repeated inside. Photograph it, photograph the contents, and keep both with your purchase records. That number is what makes a recovered container identifiable, and it is one of the first things an insurer is likely to ask for if something goes missing.

Permits & bylaws

Can I put a container garden suite or ADU on my lot?

Your local zoning bylaw decides first, so check with your municipality or regional district before anything else. Ask which term the bylaw uses, the floor area and height limits, setbacks and separation from the house, servicing, parking, which energy requirements apply, whether engineered drawings are required, and whether ALR, a strata or a covenant affects the lot. A suite is a dwelling, so expect a building permit. Valleyview quotes suites per project once it has your address and a floor plan.

Garden suite guide

Custom builds

What kinds of custom container builds do you do?

Valleyview builds site offices, workshops and tool cribs, farm and ranch storage, refrigerated cold storage, pop-up shops and vendor bars, equipment enclosures, crew units for workforce camps, bunkies, garden suites and turnkey container homes. The first seven have published starting packages: a base container plus listed menu items, or a stock 20ft reefer for cold storage. Bunkies, garden suites and homes are quoted per design. For any other idea, Valleyview will tell you whether it is workable and, if it is, quote it per design.

Business & lease-to-own

Can every container in a large order match in size, grade and colour?

Yes, matching is part of how fleet orders are filled. Valleyview sources multi-unit orders at volume so the units can share the same size, condition grade and colour, and custom RAL paint and the same branding layout can be applied across the whole order. Tell Valleyview the spec you want repeated, and the quote confirms what will be matched before you commit.

Refrigerated containers

What do people store in a refrigerated shipping container?

Reefers hold food-service stock, farm produce, meat, fish and game, kegs and finished beverages, and cut flowers. Restaurants, butchers and caterers add one when the walk-in is full; growers, fruit stands and florists hold a harvest until market; breweries, cideries and wineries keep product stable; and lodges, camps and remote communities use one where grocery deliveries are infrequent. If your product has its own storage rules, check them before you load it.

Uses

Can a shipping container work as a garden shed on a small lot?

Yes. A 10ft takes about half the footprint of a 20ft, which suits tight residential lots and garden storage, but it’s sold new only and in limited supply, so confirm availability before you plan around it. A 20ft gives room for shelving with space to turn around. Leave clear space in front of the doors for them to swing, and check setbacks and size limits with your municipality or regional district before ordering.
