UnedPodWhere to buy shipping containers for a house online
Buying a container online is common, but a photo is not an inspection. Use the internet to find sellers, then check each one carefully before you pay.
What to look for in a listing
- Clear photos of the floor, the roof, the doors and the corners.
- The grade, the age and the previous use.
- A total price that includes delivery to your address.
- A return or inspection policy.

Open in 3D →Questions to ask the seller
- Has the box carried cargo that needs special treatment?
- Can I see the inspection report and the CSC plate?
- Who arranges delivery, and what is the access requirement?
- What happens if the container arrives with damage?
Watch out for
Very low prices with vague photos, sellers who will not share the inspection report, and quotes that exclude delivery. Get written answers.
Once you have a box in mind, use the buying guide to check it and the cost calculator to see the total budget.
