Like New

One-Trip Containers

Used once from the manufacturer. Near-new appearance, maximum remaining service life, clean interior. Best for self-storage facilities, retail, and container conversions.

Certified

Cargo-Worthy Containers

Inspected and certified to meet international shipping standards. Shows normal use but structurally verified. Good middle-ground choice for buyers who need documented condition.

Best Price

Used (WWT) Containers

Wind and watertight — weatherproof and structurally sound. May show surface rust and cosmetic wear. Best value for basic storage applications where appearance is secondary.

Common Buying Questions

What size shipping container should I buy?

Start with your storage needs. A 20ft container provides 1,360 cubic feet and fits most residential or single-purpose applications. A 40ft provides 2,720 cubic feet — double the space at a better price per square foot — making it the smarter choice for larger projects if your site can accommodate it. Need extra height? Choose a high cube. Use the comparison table above to map your requirements to the right size.

Should I buy a used or one-trip container?

If you need basic weatherproof storage and appearance isn't a priority, a wind and watertight (WWT) container delivers the performance you need at the lowest cost. If appearance, interior cleanliness, or long-term durability matter — for self-storage businesses, container homes, or retail — the one-trip premium is worth it. See our full condition grade guide.

How long does delivery take and what does it cost?

Delivery takes 5–6 business days after payment. Delivery is priced at approximately $5.00/mile from the nearest depot, with a $499 minimum. Your total delivered price is included in the quote. See our full delivery guide for clearance requirements and site prep.
