The invention relates to a telescopic shipping container transformable between a reduced configuration having reduced height and an erected configuration, the container including a top segment and a bottom segment. The container bottom segment includes a rigid base panel having four corner fittings and the container top segment includes a rigid roof panel having four corner fittings. The container includes four corner posts each extending between a roof corner fitting and a base corner fitting and including a top element rigidly connected to the roof panel and a bottom element rigidly connected to the base panel, each corner post having a retractable/extendable configuration. The container is characterized in that the container includes a front-end panel having at least one hinged door leaf. The door leaf includes a top section pivotably connected to the top element of the adjacent corner post, a bottom section pivotably connected to the bottom element of the adjacent corner post, and an intermediate section that is in telescopic engagement with the top section of the door leaf and with the bottom section of the door leaf. The intermediate section interconnects the top section and the bottom section.
