Common questions from container buyers — answered directly.
A used 20ft shipping container typically costs between $1,500 and $3,500 depending on condition grade (cargo-worthy, wind and watertight, or one-trip) and your delivery location. One-trip (like-new) 20ft containers are priced higher, often $3,500–$5,000+.

Used 40ft shipping containers typically range from $2,500 to $5,000 depending on condition and location. They offer the best cost per square foot of any container size, making them ideal for large storage, job sites, and commercial applications.
Cargo-worthy (CW): Meets international shipping standards. Structurally sound enough for active freight use. Best for buyers who may ship goods or need certified containers.
Wind and watertight (WWT): Older containers that seal out wind and water but may not meet cargo-shipping certification. Ideal for dry storage — the most affordable option.
One-trip: Made just one voyage from the manufacturer to a U.S. port. Essentially new in appearance and structure. Best for high-appearance projects, container homes, or self-storage businesses. See our condition grade guide.
The delivery truck (tilt-bed or crane) needs straight clearance equal to at least the container length plus 20 feet, with a minimum overhead clearance of 14 feet. The drop site must be on solid, level ground — soft or muddy ground can cause the container to sink or the truck to get stuck, resulting in re-delivery fees.
See our complete delivery and site preparation guide for a full checklist.
A 20ft container has roughly 1,360 cubic feet of interior space — equivalent to about a 10×10 storage unit, enough for a 3–4 bedroom home's contents, a small tractor, or construction materials for a medium project.
A 40ft container nearly doubles that at 2,720 cubic feet — equivalent to two 10×10 units, ideal for large equipment, a 5–6 bedroom home, or commercial inventory storage. Compare all sizes.
Choose a high cube (9'6" tall) when extra vertical clearance matters. Common use cases include: storing tall equipment or vehicles, building a container home or workshop with headroom for insulation, installing overhead storage shelving, or handling oversized pallets and machinery.
The extra foot of height adds roughly 340–600 cubic feet of space depending on length. Learn more about high cube containers.
Permit requirements vary by city, county, and state. Many rural areas and agricultural properties allow containers without permits. Urban areas, HOA communities, and commercial zones often have zoning ordinances that regulate container placement — especially for long-term or permanent installations.
