About 40ft Used Shipping Containers
Need a spacious storage solution that doesn’t break the bank? Look no further than a 40ft used shipping container. 40ft used containers have been retired from international shipping after an average of 15-20 years at sea. While these containers are no longer recommended for stacking, they’re perfect for re-use as single-story storage units — a cheap and convenient alternative to renting a storage unit or building a garage/shed.
In international shipping, 40ft freight containers are used to carry large quantities of lightweight goods — like cotton, electronics, and consumer furniture. These qualities make them ideal for storing high-volume items such as household items, retail inventory, or construction materials.
Looking for a 40ft container to convert into a home, cabin, or gym? We recommend purchasing a 40ft new shipping container instead.

Shipping & Returns
Shipping Containers Direct carriers typically deliver 40ft used containers on a tilt-bed or roll-off trailer. Once your order is confirmed, we’ll send you a short delivery form via email to collect important delivery information, such as space restrictions, date preferences, and other specific requests for your container delivery. We require this form to be filled with as much detail as possible before scheduling your delivery.
Unsure of whether your property can accommodate a container delivery?

In the unlikely event you’re dissatisfied with your container — for any reason — we’ll refund the entire purchase less any delivery costs incurred and a $100 cancellation fee.
