The amount you pay for your shipping container will depend on several factors. These include the size, how new it is, and the distance it must be transported. Generally, you should expect to pay about $2,000 for a used 20 foot container, $3,000 for a new 20 foot container, $2,850 for a used standard 40 foot container, and $5,600 for a new standard 40 foot container. A used high-cube 20 foot container will start at around $2,200. A new 20 foot container starts around $3,000, a used 40 foot container around $3,000, and a new 40 foot container around $6,000.
If you’re buying your shipping container through a distributor, don’t shy away from trying to negotiate a better price. If the container has some dings and damage, you’ll have good leverage to try to get the price down.
