How much does a shipping container cost?
A 20 ft standard container costs $3,600 one-trip or $2,600 used. A 40 ft high cube costs $5,600 one-trip or $3,600 used.
| Container | One-trip | Used |
|---|---|---|
| 20 ft standard, 20 ft long, 8 ft wide, 8.5 ft high | $3,600 | $2,600 |
| 40 ft high cube, 40 ft long, 8 ft wide, 9.5 ft high | $5,600 | $3,600 |
One-trip containers are practically new. Used containers show significant signs of wear. Both grades are guaranteed wind and watertight. The one-trip vs used guide explains the difference.
Is delivery included in the price?
Yes, inside our delivery area. We will include delivery within 40 miles north or south of US 412/62, from Harrison, Arkansas all the way to Memphis, Tennessee. If you are outside of this area, please call for a custom delivery quote.
The route runs on US 62/412 from Harrison through Yellville, Mountain Home, Ash Flat and Hardy to Imboden. From there it follows US 63, I-555 and I-55 through Jonesboro and West Memphis to Memphis. We figure the delivery zone from the center of your county. The delivery page has a map of the counties where delivery is included.
Do you charge sales tax?
For Arkansas deliveries, yes. We are required to collect 6.5% Arkansas sales tax, along with county and city tax (if delivered within a city limit). We do not collect taxes on containers delivered to Missouri.
Be careful with any vendor who offers you a container without collecting these taxes, because penalties can follow. The online total on our Buy Now page does not include tax. We confirm the final price and tax when you order.
