We bought a 40' high cube from Kimo about 6 years ago. It was $5k. They are about the same price now but the same money gets you a better container (the prices have come down). At the time the only 20 footers to be found were 40' containers that were cut in half. Because of the cost of installing/welding the extra doors they were the same price at the 40' containers (apparently nobody ships 20' containers to the island any more). We brought our 20' high cube with us from Alaska.
Conens freight will transport and ground a container for about $400. Price will vary on distance. We had the 40' transported to Volcano and the 20' to Orchidland. That price included help setting them up on foundation blocks if that's what you want. They can move a loaded 20' container with a forklift on unpaved driveways or roads. They send two trucks, one with the container and one with the forklift. They transported the 40' container on a truck bed with a moveable axle so it was unbelievably nimble considering the container on flatbed plus truck was a good 60'+ feet. The 40' didn't need a forklift because the bed lifts and it slides off.
The high cubes (and possibly even regular) might not fit under the typical power line height between the power pole and the home attachment when they are on the flatbed. Figure 9'6" for the container plus the 4-5' or whatever up the bed is. Every delivery is different.
