TargetBox is Sarnia’s Shipping Container Headquarters
TargetBox is a family-owned and operated business founded on the principle that adding valuable space to your property doesn’t need to be expensive, time-consuming and frustrating. Our customer service specialists are here to help Sarnians with finding durable, watertight shipping containers that they can quickly buy or rent to make a world of possibilities now available to them.
Even in these challenging times with the shipping industry, TargetBox routinely secures hundreds of shipping containers to help Canadians. We sell new, gently used and construction-grade sea cans in three standard sizes: 10-foot containers, 20-foot containers and 40-foot containers. Our two shorter sizes are also available for short-term rentals.
TargetBox also is also able to provide ‘high-cube units that are taller than standard 8’ sea containers. Since no two containers are identical, we encourage Sarnians to contact us to learn about our current stock: call our local Ontario phone number or fill out our online shipping-container request form.

How Different Storage Options Perform Across Real Sarnia Applications
Sarnia Use Case | Shipping Containers (On-Site Steel Units) | Self-Storage Facility Units | Portable Storage Pods |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chemical / refinery industrial sites | Secure on-site tool, PPE, and equipment storage | Off-site, slower access for crews | Not designed for heavy industrial environments |
| High-frequency loading/unloading cycles | Direct access at all times, no scheduling delays | Shared docks or restricted access | Not built for constant industrial use |
| Marine and waterfront operations | Weather-resistant storage near docks and yards | Requires transport inland | Limited long-term durability in exposure zones |
| Residential renovations in established neighbourhoods | Placed on driveway for easy loading during projects | Requires repeated trips to facility | Convenient but space-limited |
| Construction along Highway 402 corridor | Mobile job site storage that moves with crews | Fixed location creates delays | Works for short phases only |
| Agricultural and rural properties outside Sarnia | Farm equipment, feed, and seasonal storage on-site | Long travel time reduces efficiency | Moderate use, lower security |
| Manufacturing and plant expansion projects | Acts as overflow production and staging space beside facility | Requires leased warehouse expansion | Not suitable for high-volume industrial use |
| Seasonal tourism / waterfront business storage | Stores seasonal equipment and event materials on-site | Off-site storage increases handling time | Short-term seasonal option only |
| Emergency or urgent overflow needs | Delivered quickly and placed directly where needed | Lease approval delays common | Fast delivery but limited capacity |

Thanks again.
I had less that a month to pack up and move, due to the closing date for my house. The TargetBox was delivered when arranged and the gentleman who delivered and move it to the new location was amazing. He worked that machine with superb accuracy. The prices are great … cheaper than a storage locker and I had my belongings right in my driveway. I would definitely recommend this company and moving this way.
Thank you again.
We like the service and friendly staff at TargetBox, and we will continue to use their service! Definitely willing to refer to other’s who need portable storage. Thanks Dave!
TargetBox was able to provide me with a storage solution that included both a great product with a great price. I would highly recommend them to anyone out there needing a storage solution!
I approached Target Box because I was in need of a long term storage solution while my new home was built. Target Box was reliable quick and very easy to work with during all steps of the process. The result was quality service for a good price and speed when I needed to move my box from site to site. One thing I liked was their willingness to accommodate any requirement I had.I found the experience to stress-free and hassle free. I would recommend Target Box to people who need a good storage or moving solution that is reliable and economical.
I had heard about TargetBox from a friend who had used them and was happy with their service. I had sold my home but my new home was not quite ready to move in so I needed a short term storage solution…in comes TargetBox. The storage bin was delivered on time and placed in my driveway, exactly where I had asked it to be placed. The bin itself was extremely clean. Upon delivery to my new home, all of my items were in the same condition as I had packed it. Again, delivery and pick up was as I had set it up. All of my questions were answered promptly and the prices were far better than any other storage solution company I had contacted before TargetBox. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Stubbe’s Precast uses shipping containers often. My job is to find the right container at the right price. Whatever the size or modification, Target Box steps right up to deliver exactly what I need. I have several resources to choose from, but since I first used Target Box, they have been my go-to supplier.
Targetbox was able to meet all of my needs when other portable storage moving companies could not. The fact that they could deliver and pick up the storage box on weekends was something that really helped me with my move, and something that many other companies would not do for me. Their prices were competitive and the customer service was fabulous. Dave and Melissa were always available to answer all of my questions and help me with anything I needed. Would absolutely use Targetbox again.
“Everyone at targetbox was so accommodating and easy to deal with. It was such a convenient way to deal with our storage needs and all of our belongings arrived back to us in great shape. Thanks Targetbox!”
I have used Targetbox for my container rentals over the past 3 years. They have been very easy to partner with to provide all my storage needs. I would recommend them without hesitation.
We were very satisfied with the information explained to us, the options available, pricing and the delivery at the time that was promised. This will be a very useful storage facility that is portable. Thank you!
