Used shipping containers are a great option as they may not have much damage to them and are much cheaer than a new box. These units usually have a few dents, a few rust spots or just need a paint touch-up, but they are structurally sound and wind and water tight (WWT).

Cost To Purchase a Used Shipping Container in Philadelphia

Standard costs to buy a used shipping container in Philadelphia usually between $1,400-$4,000 with the higher end price meaning that the unit is almost as good a brand new. One trip containers are the "new" containers and are in the best condition. CW or Cargo Worthy containers are the second newest option and still certified for transporting cargo. WWT, wind and water tight units are usually the best option for storage on your property. As is containers are another option but they are not guaranteed to be wind and water tight and may need some repairs or new paint to be suitable for storage. If a unit has a lot of dents but still functions properly, the price will reflect those damages and will tend to be on the lower end of the price spectrum.

Pricing is usually by the month, so you will pay the same whether you want it for a week, a day or a month. The longer your rental, the better rental price point.

Yes, while these are the standard ISO sizes, there are others available such as 10 foot containers or high cube containers in Philadelphia, which provide additional height to the unit. Availability may be limited, so if this is something that you are looking for it's best to ask for it as soon as possible.
