Where to buy a used shipping container? - terracore - 07-16-2011
Hello,
I want to buy and get delivered a used shipping container to our property near Volcano. Probably a 20 footer. Any recommended companies to work with?
Cheers,
Steve

I used affordable portable housing. They seemed OK although others seemed to have issues with them. There is also Container Storage Company of Hawaii.

There was a recent posting for one on Craig's List. If you are using it to transport goods, it MUST have a seaworthy certificate. This is a paper, filled out by a Marine Surveyor, certifying that your ‘tainer is water and airtight, and it has an expiration date. Make sure that the date gives you enough time to move it.....

A few years ago we bought 3 40 ft containers from Alan Yoza they cost from $3800 - $4800

Do you remember (ballpark) what affordableportablehousing charged for a delivered container?
Did anybody get one of their "container offices" or was it a regular container.

Last time I checked affordableportable lists prices on the site. plus you have to call the trucking company to transport from the dock or yard which added $500 for me so might be more now. I bought a box from Hawaii modular space the established player with the ubiquitous blue &white signs. You have to call them- they don't list prices. What does that say? I wouldn't pay more than what the modular space rep quotes you.I think everybody else prices off them.
