Container sharing tradition

[StillHope]

I've never shipped anything big or use shipping container in my life.

So any practical advice would be greatly appreciated.

I understand that every situation is different.

And frankly speaking,I think that sharing a container is like winning

a lottery.Coordinate time,place and space at the same time..

Anyway,if it's possible at all,I'd like to know:

What is the rule of thumb as far as the price is concerned?

I've seen some people go by cu ft.

DHX charges $5 per cu ft or about $5K for 20 ft container.

So if I need only 10 ft out of 20,how much realistically should I ask?

I thought,half the price ( or close) and half the container

is about right.But since i didn't get any response from a couple of

people possibly interested,I am assuming,it's more that they expected.

So what is to expect?
