3 Tips For Purchasing Shipping Containers

Each of our well trained salespeople is more than capable of helping you through the entire purchase process from start to finish. We also cater to highly experienced purchasers who know exactly what they want and know all the right questions to ask. No matter how many times you have purchased a shipping container we always recommend the following:

1. Carefully measure how much storage space you need for your container. If you buy a 20 foot container and it quickly fills up and you end up purchasing another, you'll end up paying twice the delivery fees and more money per foot, not to mention the hassles of making two purchases.
2. Basic due diligence - verify that the steel container doesn't have any holes or major rust damage, and that it is wind and water tight. If you don't know how to check the seals, make sure you get in writing a confirmation that it is WWT.
3. Get handy - You can get a lower cost shipping container for sale by doing some of the work on your own. For example, you can paint and de-rust the container with supplies from a hardware store, and you can install shelving if you are handy enough and enjoy projects.

How Much Does It Cost to Buy A Shipping Container?

Buying a shipping container is less expensive than you might think, and way less pricey than traditional construction or any other option to add more storage on your property. On average, it costs $1,100 - $2,000 to buy a 20 foot shipping container that is WWT. On average, it costs $1,800 - $2,900 to buy a 40 foot shipping container that is WWT. Additional features, long distance (over 25 miles), new paint, available inventory will affect the total cost. Obviously buying a used shipping container will cost less than new, or what we in the industry call one trip' containers that have only been used for one ocean crossing.
