FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BUYING A CONTAINER
How much do containers cost?
The price of a Container for Sale depends on a few variables:
LOCATION:
The great thing about a Container is that they can be delivered practically anywhere. We deliver to Businesses and Job sites in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Because transportation cost is the main factor that affects the price difference from one region to the next, you can expect the cost to Rent or Buy to be 10-20% lower the nearer you are to a major port city. Final delivery costs vary from city to city, but usually end up being $2-3 per mile.
SIZE & TYPE:
Small shipping containers will typically cost less than large shipping containers, but that is not always the case. Conex come in standard dimensions that are 8 feet wide and either 10′, 20′, or 40′ long. See our Container Dimensions chart for reference. The more common and available the container size/type, the lower the price will be. Due to global supply chain fluctuations, some years used 40' containers are the cheapest of all, and other years (like in 2021) they are more expensive.
CONDITION & AGE:
Most new containers have only made one trip across the ocean. As such, they are generally in much better cosmetic condition and more valuable. Most used containers have are 12 or more years old (sometimes 30 or more years old) and have made many voyages across the ocean and on trucks and trains. As such, they are generally less expensive (often 20-40% less than a brand new container).
What are containers made of?
ISO Containers (often called Conex Boxes in Industrial or Military settings) are made of thick Corten steel, with wood floor and heavy rubber door gaskets. They are built for storage, built to be moved, and built to last.
Are container floors safe?
Practically every good, food, and textile makes its way around the world in a Shipping Container. Thanks in large part to the country of Australia, newer container floors are constructed without the use of harmful pesticides. Newer container floors feature a marine-grade plywood that is made from a variety of hardwoods or bamboo. Container floors are water-resistant and exceptionally durable.
How long do containers last?
The modern Shipping Container was invented in the 1950's and has been continuously improved in the years since. Because they are built to withstand the harshest ocean conditions, containers are built to last for many years. It is quite common to see a 20-year-old container that looks in nearly brand-new condition, or to see a 40-years-old container that is still functioning well. As with any structure, when you own a container, you will want to make sure to keep it clean, painted, and maintained in order to maximize its life-span.
What are the delivery hours for Simple Box?
Our delivery team runs from 8:00am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. We love it when we have at least 3 days notice, but we will do all that we can to get your delivery done on your ideal day(s).
Your Driver will call or text when they are on their way to your place.
Where does Simple Box deliver containers?
We can deliver to most addresses in Arizona, California, Oregon, and Washington State. We can also move customers loaded to other states.
Sometimes for a delivery that is further away from one of our locations, it is more cost-effective for a customer to buy the Box so that they are not paying a round-trip fee to have us come pick up the Box when they are all done.
Feel free to give us a call to confirm whether we can deliver to your specific address and to schedule your delivery date.
What if the delivery driver gets stuck or can't deliver?
Our drivers are amazing, but there are some times when a site just isn’t suitable, or a customer changes their mind.
If a customer’s ideal delivery location is not suitable, the driver will do all that they can to place the Box in an alternate nearby location.
We budget for up to 30 minutes at customer site to load or unload, and secure the container. Any additional standby or transport time will be billed at $100 per hour.
Any towing or repair bills resulting from insufficient site conditions will be sent straight through to the customer or delivery contact.
All Deliveries are subject to our Terms & Conditions.
How much Site Prep is needed for Delivering a Container?
To ensure a safe delivery, please make sure the ground is hard-packed gravel or some other improved surface (asphalt, concrete, etc.), there are no low-hanging wires, and you have enough space for the truck to pull forward from the back of the box.
Should I buy extra Blocks or Dunnage?
If the delivery area is on a bit of a slope, we recommend getting some gravel or several 12-inch 4×6 treated lumber blocks to help get the Box level and get some air-flow underneath the Box.
Can the container be set on railroad ties?
We do not recommend railroad ties as they are often uneven and we’ve seen a lot of people injure themselves trying to drag them around. Containers are made to carry all of the weight at the corners, so all you need is a block under the corner (the drivers carry some dunnage on the trucks).
How much room is needed for container delivery?
- 20-FOOT CONTAINER: For a 20 foot container, we need 70 feet for the tilt-deck truck to pull forward in a straight line.
- 40-FOOT CONTAINER: For a 40 foot container, we need 140 feet for the truck & trailer to pull forward in a straight line.

Do I need to be present for delivery?
There is no need to wait around for us or to take time off work!
You do not need to be there for the delivery or pick-up as long as the delivery area is clear and we have a good idea of where you’d like the Box to be placed.
Some people leave a cone, lawn-chair, or brightly painted rock where they would like the doors to be placed).
