Shipping container sellers in the United States
17 container dealers, yards and modification shops in the U.S. are mapped on OpenStreetMap. Use them to buy a 20ft or 40ft shipping container for storage, a workshop, a site office or a container home. Always see the box (or recent photos of the exact unit) before you pay.
Before you pay
- Ask for the grade in writing: new (one-trip), cargo-worthy, wind and watertight (WWT) or “as-is”.
- Ask for photos of the actual unit (doors, floor, roof and the CSC plate), or visit the yard.
- Get the delivered price: container, delivery miles, tilt-bed or flatbed truck, and any drop-off fees.
- Never pay by wire or gift card to a seller you can’t verify — container scam sites are common.
Questions
How much does a shipping container cost?
Prices change with steel prices, location and supply. As a rough guide, used 20ft boxes often sell for a few thousand dollars and new one-trip 40ft high-cubes for more. See our price guide for current estimate ranges and always get 2–3 delivered quotes.
What does “one-trip” mean?
A one-trip container was made overseas and shipped once with cargo before being sold. It is nearly new, with few dents, and costs more than a used cargo-worthy or WWT box.
How do I avoid container scams?
Look the seller up, call a local phone number, ask for photos with today’s date, visit the yard if you can, and pay with a card or on delivery. Be careful with prices far below everyone else.
