A convertible shipping container includes, as its main components, a tray-shaped receptacle for accommodating objects to be shipped in the container in its collapsed condition and displayed in the container in its erected condition, a base connected to the receptacle for displacement between its collapsed position in which it is flat and substantially coextensive with a bottom wall of the receptacle and an erected position in which it has a substantially box-shaped configuration. A securing arrangement, especially such constituted by a tray-shaped cover, secures the base in its collapsed position to the receptacle prior to conversion of the shipping container into a display stand. A lid closes the open end of the receptacle to hold the objects within the receptacle prior to and during the conversion and supports the weight of the receptacle and its contents from below while the base is being displaced from its collapsed to its erected position with the lid resting on a support surface and the bottom wall of the receptacle facing upwardly.
