What is a one-trip shipping container?
A one-trip container has made one trip loaded with cargo, so it is practically new. Every one-trip container we sell is guaranteed wind and watertight.
What is a used shipping container?
A used container is a multi-trip container. Used containers show significant signs of wear, but every used container we sell is guaranteed wind and watertight.
Are used containers watertight?
Yes. Every container we sell, one-trip or used, is guaranteed wind and watertight. The difference between the grades is how they look, and both should keep the weather out.
How much more does a one-trip container cost?
A one-trip container costs $1,000 more than a used one in the 20 ft size and $2,000 more in the 40 ft high cube.
| One-trip | Used | Difference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 ft standard | $3,600 | $2,600 | $1,000 |
| 40 ft high cube | $5,600 | $3,600 | $2,000 |
Delivery is included within 40 miles north or south of US 412/62, from Harrison, Arkansas, all the way to Memphis, Tennessee, for either grade. Outside that area, call for a custom delivery quote.
Should I buy one-trip or used?
Buy one-trip if appearance matters to you, since it is practically new. Buy used if you want the lower price and don't mind visible wear, because it carries the same wind and watertight guarantee.
Some questions to ask yourself before you decide:
- Will the container sit where you, your neighbors or your customers see it every day?
- Do you plan to build it out?
- Is the $1,000 or $2,000 difference better spent on something else?
Can I look at a container before I buy?
Yes. You are welcome to come by the container lot at 724 East Main Street in Gassville and pick out the container you want anytime. The yard is open 24 hours. Seeing a used container in person is the best way to judge whether its wear matters to you.
Do you sell both sizes in both grades?
Yes. We sell the 20 ft standard and the 40 ft high cube in one-trip and used condition. The size guide compares the two sizes. If you need a specialty container, we will be glad to check with our supplier.
Is the price the same in Arkansas and Missouri?
The container price is the same. Tax is different. We are required to collect 6.5% Arkansas sales tax, along with county and city tax if the container is delivered within a city limit. We do not collect taxes on containers delivered to Missouri. We confirm the final price and tax when you order.
How do I buy?
Price it out on the Buy Now page, then call (870) 404-6632 to order. You pay by cash or check when the container is delivered or picked up.
