What affects the price of a 20ft container in Houston?

Three things move the total:

  • Grade: As-is and cargo worthy containers cost less and may show dents or surface rust. New (one-trip) containers cost the most and show minimal wear.
  • Delivery distance and access: Buyers closer to a depot pay less for trucking. Tight access can add cost.
  • Market supply: Prices move with port inventory and shipping demand. This page updates with our inventory.

What is included in a delivered price?

  • The container
  • Tilt-deck truck delivery
  • Placement on a firm, level site

Sales tax is added based on your address. Farm, ranch and resale exemptions are applied on the quote. Difficult access can add cost.

Are cheap online container prices real?

Many listings show a low price that leaves out delivery or hides the container's condition. Compare the delivered price and the grade, not just the headline number.

How fast can I get a 20ft container in Houston?

Typically 1 to 3 business days when local inventory is available. Delivery dates are estimates and depend on weather, equipment and site access.
