Don't see your town? Most suppliers deliver far past their own city. Check your state page to see who covers your ZIP code.

Start here

"Near me" isn't a slogan — it's the biggest price lever

Two identical containers can differ by hundreds of dollars depending on which depot they ship from. Before you compare prices, it helps to know why location drives almost everything about a container purchase.

Delivery is priced by the mile

Most of your delivery cost is the tilt-bed truck driving from the depot to your gate. A supplier 30 miles away almost always beats one 200 miles away — even at a higher container price.

Stock changes by region

Inventory follows the ports. Coastal and inland-port metros see more one-trip (near-new) boxes, while rural areas often have more used cargo-worthy units. What's available locally shapes your real options.

Pricing is local, not national

There's no single sticker price for a "20ft container." Regional supply, fuel, and demand mean the fair number in Texas isn't the fair number in Maine. Compare quotes in your own market.

Permits & placement vary

Some towns require a permit or setback for an on-ground container; others don't. Climate matters too — coastal salt air and freeze-thaw both affect which condition grade is worth paying for.

Pick a size

10ft, 20ft or 40ft — same width, different length

Every standard container is 8ft wide. Only the length changes, so choosing a size is really about how much floor you need and how much room you have to land it. Here's the quick version — each links to a full size guide.

40 ft · ~305 sq ft floor 20 ft · ~150 sq ft 10 ft · ~75 sq ft Drawn to scale by length. All three are 8ft wide and 8ft 6in tall (high-cube adds 1ft of height).

10ft container

10' L × 8' W × 8'6" H · ~75 sq ft

  • Fits small yards, alleys & tight access
  • Often cut down from 20ft, so priced per foot it can run higher
  • Great for tools, equipment & site storage
10ft buying guide →
Most popular

20ft container

20' L × 8' W × 8'6" H · ~150 sq ft

  • Best all-round size for homes & small business
  • Widely stocked, so the easiest to find used & one-trip
  • Delivers on a standard tilt-bed without special rigging
20ft buying guide →

40ft container

40' L × 8' W × 8'6" H · ~305 sq ft

  • Maximum storage for the lowest cost per square foot
  • High-cube option adds a foot of height for bulky loads
  • Needs ~60ft of straight clearance to set down
40ft buying guide →

Know what you're buying

The four condition grades, decoded

"New" and "used" barely describe a steel box. Suppliers grade containers by a handful of industry terms, and the grade — not the photo — is what you're paying for. Match the grade to the job and you won't over- or under-buy.

One-Trip NEW

Manufactured overseas, shipped once with cargo, then sold. Near-new: clean paint, solid floors, tight doors, minimal wear.

Best for: homes, offices, conversions, anything visible.

$3,000 – $6,500

Cargo-Worthy CW

Certified structurally sound and still fit for ocean transport. Surface rust and cosmetic dings are normal; no holes, doors work.

Best for: long-term storage where looks don't matter.

$2,000 – $4,000

Wind & Water Tight WWT

Keeps weather out but isn't certified for shipping. May have more rust and patched spots. A budget pick for dry storage.

Best for: on-site storage on a tighter budget.

$1,600 – $3,200

As-Is AS-IS

Sold exactly as it stands — may leak, have soft floor sections, or door issues. Cheapest, but inspect in person first.

Best for: scrap, parts, or projects where leaks are fine.

$1,200 – $2,600
"High cube" is a height, not a grade. Any grade can be high-cube (1ft taller). And ContainerMondo doesn't sell or deliver containers — these grades and ranges are here so you can talk to suppliers as an informed buyer.

What it costs

Ballpark price ranges by size and condition

Use these as a sanity check, not a quote. They're typical 2026 U.S. ranges for the container alone — delivery is separate and depends entirely on how far the depot is from you. A real quote from a local supplier is the only accurate number.

SizeUsed (WWT / CW)One-Trip (near-new)Best value for
10ft$1,800 – $3,000$3,000 – $4,500Tight spaces, small storage
20ft standard$1,600 – $3,200$3,000 – $5,000The all-round default
40ft standard$2,000 – $3,800$4,000 – $6,500Most space per dollar
40ft high cube$2,200 – $4,200$4,500 – $7,000Tall or bulky loads, conversions
Add delivery on top. Local drop-off commonly runs a few hundred dollars; longer hauls or crane/forklift placement cost more. Plug your details into the estimator for a delivered ballpark, then compare real quotes.

Before you pay

The 9-point pre-purchase inspection

Whether you inspect in person or ask the supplier for photos and a video walk-around, these are the things that actually decide whether a container is a deal or a headache. Run the list before money changes hands.

  • 1
    Seams & corners for rustSurface rust is fine; flaking, bubbling, or rust at weld seams and corner castings is a structural warning.
  • 2
    Floor conditionWalk it. Hardwood should be solid and dry — soft spots, rot, or heavy chemical staining are deal-breakers for many uses.
  • 3
    Doors open, close & sealBoth doors should swing freely and latch. Check that the rubber gaskets are intact all the way around.
  • 4
    Daylight testStand inside with the doors shut. Any pinholes of light mean leaks — fine for As-Is, not for storage.
  • 5
    Roof for ponding & dentsLook for standing-water stains or deep dents that trap water; these become the first rust-through points.
  • 6
    Smell insideA strong chemical or fuel smell can mean the prior cargo soaked in. Hard to remove and a health concern for habitable conversions.
  • 7
    CSC plate & container numberA legible CSC/data plate confirms it's a real ISO unit and matters if you ever ship or export it.
  • 8
    Prior repairs & patchesPatched holes aren't automatically bad, but ask what was repaired and why, and check the work is solid.
  • 9
    Get the grade in writingHave the quote state the condition grade (One-Trip, CW, WWT, As-Is) so the box that arrives matches what you bought.

The part most guides skip

Can a truck actually deliver to your spot?

Most containers arrive on a tilt-bed (roll-off) truck that slides the box off the back onto the ground. That needs more room than people expect — sorting this out before you buy avoids a failed, and sometimes still-billed, delivery.

Firm, level ground · no soft mud or steep grade 40ft box ~60 ft straight run ~14ft overhead clearance — mind wires, branches & eaves
  • Straight run: a 40ft delivery typically needs ~60ft of clear, straight space; a 20ft needs ~40ft. The truck can't drop a box on a tight curve.
  • Firm & level ground: gravel or compacted dirt is ideal. Soft mud, sand, or a steep slope can strand the truck or twist the container.
  • Overhead clearance: the bed tilts up high during unloading. Watch for power lines, low branches, roof eaves, and carports.
  • Tight site? Ask about options: some suppliers offer crane or forklift placement for an extra fee when a roll-off can't reach the spot.
  • Tell the supplier upfront: describe your access and surface when you request a quote so the delivery fee is right the first time.

Buy safely

Container scams are common — here's what to watch for

The container market attracts fake listings, especially on online classifieds and social-media listings. Legitimate suppliers won't mind any of the checks below. If a deal trips several of these wires, walk away.

Price far below marketA "40ft for $900 delivered" is bait. If it's well under the ranges above, it's almost certainly fake.
Wire transfer or gift cards onlyRefusal to take any traceable payment, or demanding full payment by wire before you've seen the unit, is the #1 scam signal.
No physical address or depotReal suppliers have a yard. No verifiable location, no business name, or a brand-new website are reasons to slow down.
Won't let you inspect or video-callIf they dodge an in-person look or a live video of the actual box (not stock photos), assume the container doesn't exist.
High-pressure urgency"Three buyers waiting, pay now to hold it" exists to stop you from doing exactly these checks.
Reused or stolen photosRun a reverse image search. The same photo across many "sellers" is a classified-listing scam pattern.
This is exactly why we verify. Every supplier in the ContainerMondo network is screened for a real business presence and reliability, and each carries an independent score — so you're comparing legitimate, local sellers from the start. See how scoring works →

When you get quotes

Eight questions that separate good suppliers from the rest

Ask every supplier the same things and compare the answers, not just the prices. Clear, confident answers are a good sign; vague or evasive ones tell you plenty too.

  • What exact condition grade is this, and will it be stated on the invoice?
  • Is the price for the container only, or does it include delivery to my address?
  • What truck do you deliver on, and how much clear space do I need?
  • Can I see photos or a video of the actual unit I'm buying?
  • How old is the container and what was it last used to ship?
  • What's your return or recourse policy if it arrives worse than described?
  • When do you collect payment — and do you take traceable methods?
  • Do you offer modifications (doors, vents, windows, lock boxes)?

Common questions

Buying a container near you, answered

Does ContainerMondo sell or deliver the containers?
No. ContainerMondo is a connector platform — we help you compare and get matched with verified suppliers across the country, and those suppliers handle the sale and delivery. We don't own inventory or set prices, which is why we can stay focused on helping you find the right supplier.
How do I find the cheapest container near me?
The cheapest delivered price usually comes from the supplier with a depot closest to you, because most of the cost gap between quotes is the truck mileage. Start with your state, get matched with local suppliers, and compare the all-in delivered price — not just the container price.
What size container should I buy?
If you're unsure, a 20ft is the safe default: it's the most widely stocked, fits most lots, and delivers without special equipment. Choose 10ft for tight spaces and small storage, or 40ft when you want the most room for the lowest cost per square foot. See the full size comparison to match a size to your need.
Should I buy new (one-trip) or used?
Buy one-trip when the container will be visible or converted into an office or home — you're paying for clean paint and solid floors. Buy used cargo-worthy or wind-and-water-tight when it's for storage and looks don't matter. As-Is is only worth it for scrap, parts, or projects where leaks are acceptable.
How much does delivery cost?
It varies by distance and access. Local roll-off delivery often runs a few hundred dollars; longer hauls or crane/forklift placement on a tight site cost more. The cost estimator gives you a delivered ballpark, and your quotes will confirm the exact figure for your address.
Do I need a permit to put a container on my property?
It depends on your city or county and how the container is used. Some areas require a permit, a setback from the property line, or restrict containers in residential zones; others have no rules at all. Check with your local planning or zoning office before delivery — your supplier can't waive local requirements for you.
How long until I get quotes?
Most buyers hear back from matched suppliers within a day, and often within a few hours during business hours. Sharing your location and a few details up front helps suppliers quote an accurate delivered price quickly.
