See What Our Customers Say About Our Containers
I live out in Clearwater and wanted a container for my water toys. I didn't need anything super fancy, but wanted something strong for the storms and to keep the seawater out. I called plenty of places for shipping containers and these guys had the best service and prices I could find. The delivery was smooth and I'm happy with my container now.
Frank C. (Clearwater Resident)
So my husband and I wanted to build something unique as a little shed for our kids. The idea of using a shipping container was interesting and we wanted something weather tight that would last through the weather here in Tampa. We called quite a few places and found this company. After several questions and a chat with my husband, we agreed they had the best price and delivery options for us and we couldn't be happier with the service.
Catherine S. (Tampa Resident)
Very pleased with the entire process of ordering the container and getting it shipped. The delivery was easy and straightforward and the driver landed it perfectly in the spot I wanted. Overall, I think it's a good service and the cost is very reasonable to all the other companies I called for quotes.

Tampa Quality Options For The Containers
In all honesty, there isn't a standard rating system across America that determines the quality of shipping containers. However, there are some common practices across the industry and acceptable metrics that most companies leverage in advertising and for warranty purposes. Here's how we have found is best to communicate them with our customers so they understand what type of container they can order here in Tampa:
New Containers (aka One-Trip)
What is considered a "new shipping container" is as close as you can get to it being made here in the USA. However, more than 90% of all containers in the world are made overseas and arrive here in the states by large cargo ships carrying dozens (or hundreds) of them. So buying a brand new shipping container in Tampa simply means it will have the fewest possible miles on it from when it's built to your property.
The good news is if you purchase it new, it will only have one shipment across the ocean and thus likely have no visible damage. Obviously, it's completely water tight and ready for your usage. In some instances, we can even let you choose your color if you select it at purchase (but that's not always the case so ask first).
Cargo Worthy Containers (CW)
If you want the next highest quality container with out the "new" price tag, you'll want a high grade cargo-worthy container. These containers have had some trips across the ocean, but still maintain the level of international shipping standards created by the shipping industries. These are solid containers that are completely water tight and still look very good. It's similar to buying a used car that's only got 25,000 miles on it.
Wind & Water Tight Containers (Grade B or WWT)
The "B Grade" type of containers are next on the list for quality. They have made plenty of trips across the ocean and it shows. They have highly noticeable damage and often come with rust on corners. They are still water tight upon delivery, but may experience some issues soon after without some DIY repairs. These containers are no longer certifiable to handle shipments across the ocean. We offer a very limited warranty on this type of shipping container simply because they are well used.
As-Is Condition Containers (Grade C)
The "C Grade" containers are ones we do not typically recommend to our customers. These containers do not come with any warranty from our company and it's because they have the most damage and often are not watertight. If you are a handy DIY person and want to repair these containers to make them watertight, we can find some for you. These will be the absolute cheapest on the market, but hopefully you understand why. They likely have holes and rust in several areas or maybe a door that doesn't properly seal keep water and rodents out. Understand that yes we will get this shipping container for you if you want, but once we finalize delivery, it's all in your hands.

You can always ask us more questions about cargo container and we'd be happy to help! And you can always get pricing online fast and easy because we always include the delivery cost in everything.

What is the difference between a shipping container, a storage container or a Conex container?
There's really no difference between these. They are simply different names used across America to describe the containers. It's still a metal box with defined dimensions used in shipping materials on cargo containers across the country. Conex is just a brand people know.
Are Your Containers Watertight?
Yes, we sell watertight shipping containers as a standard to all our customers. Rarely, an issue can happen where a defect slips through our inspection which is why we carry a warranty. We never sell lesser quality (non water-tight) containers unless specifically requested by the buyer.
How long do shipping containers last?
Most shipping containers can last up to 25 years of use. Many factors can change this number, but that's common in the shipping industry. Now for most of our customers that are using them for general storage, they can last much longer. Commonly, it's the rust from the ocean that deteriorates containers faster. So if it's well-maintained, it can last decades, even here in the harsh Tampa environment.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards as the most popular payment method. We also accept electronic checks and we even offer a slight discount to all customers who choose to pay this way. Contact us to learn more. We do not accept cash on delivery or layaway type programs. We recently have expanded into a rent-to-own program so contact us to learn more.
Can I get a specific color for my container?
For used shipping containers, no we cannot guarantee a color option. We source from local docks and it's whatever colors they have on hand at the time. It could be any color in the rainbow honestly. Shipping containers are easy to paint though! For new containers, we can specific either tan or grey at this time only. Contact us for details
How much space is needed for container delivery?
For a standard 20-foot container, you need at least 75-feet of length clearance plus 12-feet of width clearance plus 20-feet of height clearance to safely deliver your container. This is because the trailer needs space to back up, and it tips the back end up to drop off the container on the ground.
For a standard 40-foot container, just add 25-feet of length clearance is needed for successful delivery.
For the high cube containers, just add 3-feet of height clearance is needed for successful and easy delivery.
What is the average lead time for sea containers?
We highly recommend that if you need containers on a specific date, that you call at least 3 weeks in advance. With all the details on shipping, it's hard to guarantee dates before then.
For used containers - standard delivery is usually 1-2 weeks and rush delivery can be as short as 3 business days.
For new containers - delivery is variable but often between 2-4 weeks.
