What are the pros and cons of buying a shipping or storage container?
-Benefits of buying a shipping or storage container
The main benefit of buying a container is the long life span. Containers are generally built to last for at least 30 years. This means that you do not need to worry about space issues for a long time.
– Disadvantages of buying a shipping or storage container
The main disadvantage of buying a container is the high initial cost. Even a 20 ft standard container can cost thousands of dollars.
What is the best size of shipping or storage container to buy?
While it’s important to pick the right size of container for your project, you also have to pick the right size for the job.
For example, you wouldn’t want to pick a 20-foot container for a project that only needed a 10-foot container, or vice versa. You need to ensure that the size of the container you pick will be big enough to store all of your goods.
To help you choose the right size, here are some factors to consider:
– The weight of the items
– The amount of space you have
– The type of goods
– The risk of damage during transportation
What are the factors to consider when renting a shipping or storage container?
– Cost
This is the single most important factor when deciding whether to rent or buy a shipping container. You should also factor in the cost of insurance and the cost of other necessary equipment and inputs needed to set up the container.
– Location
Another important factor to consider when choosing whether to rent or buy a shipping container is the location. You want to ensure that the location is convenient and within your budget.
– Size
When renting a container, you need to first decide on the size. Generally, the larger the size, the more expensive the rental. The size of the container will also depend on how long you want to rent it for.
For example, you wouldn’t want to pick a 20-foot container for a project that only needed a 10-foot container, or vice versa. You need to ensure that the size of the container you pick will be big enough to store all of your goods.
Will Shipping Containers Come Down In Price?

I Purchased A 20ft
“This was my first purchase of a container. Although ECS does a very good job of explaining what is necessary to deliver and unload the container, it is hard to completely follow those directions if it is being placed on the ground. Getting it level is quite important as the doors won’t close properly if not level. The fella that delivered my container was friendly and obviously knew what he was doing, but didn’t seem to care if the container was level or not.”

Seamless Process and Great People!
“Seamless process! Very easy to close the transaction.
Support was great on all fronts; from the ones managing the whole deal, to the POC on the receipt, to the people at the pick up location in Shafter.
I had nothing but positive interactions.
Will be using again in the future, and highly recommend!”
