A shipping container having an inner tank, a housing and a pallet. The tank is made of poly material and is positioned and supported within the housing on the pallet. The housing includes upright side walls which maintain the tank side walls in an upright position and further includes a top structure and bottom structure. The bottom structure is attached to the pallet and assists the pallet in supporting the weight of the tank. Both the top and bottom structures incorporate features which allow them to self engage the upper and lower periphery ends of the side walls upon relative telescoping movement between the top and bottom structures and the side walls. This engagement is releasable and generally allows the housing to be quickly and securely snapped together.
