How do I get my container?

You have two options for receiving your container: pick it up yourself or have it delivered. Whether you're renting or purchasing a shipping container, you can choose the option that works best for you during checkout. If you opt for delivery, a shipping container specialist will contact you after checkout to arrange a convenient delivery date. If you prefer to pick it up, the specialist will help you determine the best day and location for pickup.

Should I rent or buy a 8’x40’ standard door shipping container?

If you plan to keep your shipping container for more than a year, or if you desire to modify the shipping container in any way, then purchasing a shipping container is highly recommended.
