What condition are your shipping containers for sale?
We offer containers in several condition grades: New/One-Trip, Cargo Worthy, Wind & Water Tight, and As-Is. Every container is inspected and graded honestly. Check our Buyer’s Guide for detailed descriptions of each grade.
How much does shipping container delivery cost?
We offer a flat-rate delivery fee of $250 nationwide with all states and 510 to 2100$ internationally. No hidden fees or surprises — the price is the same whether you’re across town or across the country.
Do I need a permit to buy a shipping container?
Permit requirements vary by city and county. We recommend checking with your local zoning office before purchasing. In many areas, containers used for temporary storage don’t require permits, but permanent structures typically do.
What payment methods do you accept when I buy a container?
We accept wire transfers, ACH bank transfers, and certified checks. We do not currently accept credit cards for container purchases. A deposit is required to reserve your unit.
Can I modify a shipping container after purchase?
Absolutely! Many of our customers modify containers for offices, homes, retail spaces, and more. We also sell pre-modified containers. Contact us to discuss your project.
What is your return policy on containers for sale?
We offer a 90-day quality guarantee. If the container doesn’t match the described condition upon delivery, we’ll make it right. See our Refund & Returns policy for full details.
How long does delivery take after I order a container?
Most deliveries are completed within 5–10 business days of payment. Rush delivery may be available in some areas. We’ll provide a delivery window when you place your order.
