FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Do you sell new and used containers?

Yes. We supply new one-trip containers and used containers in several conditions: IICL-5, Cargo-Worthy, Wind & Water Tight and As-Is.

How does buying work?

You tell us the size, condition, quantity and location. Our sales team contacts the direct supplier for a quotation on available units and sends it to you. After you approve it, payment and release arrangements follow.

Where do you supply?

We provide shipping containers across the USA and Canada.

Which condition should I choose?

For storage, Wind & Water Tight is usually the economical pick. Choose Cargo-Worthy or IICL-5 if the container will carry cargo, or One-trip if you want near-new quality.

Can I order a special type, like open top or reefer?

Yes. We can source open top, flat rack, tunnel, open side, double door and refrigerated containers. Tell us what you need in the quote form.

Do prices appear on the site?

No. Availability and pricing depend on the supplier and the units on hand, so every price is a quotation made for your request.

Can you arrange delivery?

Delivery and release arrangements follow payment. Include your delivery location in the request so the team can plan it.

Tell us the containers you need.
