Shipping Container Buyers Guide

Everything you need to know before you buy — sizes, conditions, delivery, and payment — so you can choose the right container with confidence.

Step 1: Choose the Right Size

Containers come in standard footprints. Pick the size that matches what you need to store or move.

Compact and easy to place. Great for residential storage, small job sites, and tight spaces.

The workhorse size — maximum capacity for businesses, bulk storage, and large equipment.

An extra foot of interior height for oversized cargo, shelving, and conversion projects.

Knowing the grades helps you balance budget and appearance.

Nearly pristine units that have shipped only once. Best appearance for homes and customer-facing use.

Reliable used units inspected to keep contents dry and protected. Excellent value for storage.

Structurally certified for shipping and stacking — ideal when you need a working transport unit.

A little preparation ensures a smooth, safe drop-off.

Allow room for the delivery truck to approach and tilt the container off the bed onto level ground.

Gravel, concrete, or compact level dirt works best. Avoid soft or sloped surfaces.
