Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about pricing, delivery, financing, and container condition grades.
How much does a shipping container cost?
Prices vary by size and condition. A 20ft container starts around $2,395, while a 40ft High Cube runs closer to $4,795. Reefers and modified units are priced separately based on configuration. See our full pricing guide for a size-by-size breakdown.
What’s the difference between the condition grades?
New/One-Trip units have made a single loaded ocean voyage with minimal wear. Cargo Worthy (CW) units pass a full structural and watertight inspection. Wind & Watertight (WWT) units are weatherproof but not cargo-certified — a lower-cost option for static storage. Read our new vs. used guide for help choosing.
How fast can a container be delivered?
Most orders ship within 5 to 10 business days, depending on your ZIP code and depot availability. See our delivery day guide for the full process.
Can I pick up my container from the depot instead?
Yes. Depot pickup is available on most orders and can reduce your total delivered cost.
Do I need a permit to place a container on my property?
Permit requirements vary by city and county. We recommend checking with your local zoning office before delivery day.
What size container do I need?
A 20ft unit suits most residential and small job-site storage. A 40ft or 40ft High Cube fits larger inventory, bulk storage, or conversion projects. Full dimensions are in our sizes guide.
Do you deliver outside the United States?
Yes — in addition to nationwide U.S. delivery, we export to Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, and other destinations through major ports. International orders are quoted individually based on destination port, container type, and shipping method.
Is financing available?
Financing options are available on select orders — ask your sales contact for current terms. See our financing guide for how it works.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit and debit card payments securely processed through Stripe, as well as bank wire transfer for depot-direct orders.
