How Much Does a Shipping Container Cost?
Shipping container prices by size and condition: used 10ft, 20ft and 40ft, one-trip, high cube and refrigerated containers, plus delivery costs.
Quick answer
At Outback Shipping Containers, used containers start around $919 (10ft), $1,095 (20ft) and $1,169 (40ft). One-trip (nearly new) units start around $2,259 for a 20ft and $2,495 for a 40ft, and working refrigerated containers start around $2,955. Standard delivery is free; express tilt-bed delivery is $350 and flatbed is $450.
The price of a container depends mostly on its size, its condition grade (used, cargo-worthy or one-trip), its height (standard or high cube) and any modifications. Delivery is the other big variable, so always compare the delivered price.
