Before Buying A Used Shipping Container

Used or retired containers are units who have outlived their recommended shelf life for international transport, but are still perfectly suitable for other uses.

An important note on used containers — “used” doesn’t mean that they are not in good condition. Most of the time, a retired container is assigned a grade and marked with a specific label (e.g. lightly damaged, ISO approved) to describe its condition.


If you’re buying a used shipping container, double-check for the following:

  • Check for loose floorboards.
  • Check for rust (a little rust may be okay) and dents. Ask about previous repairs.
  • Check the Better Business Bureau (BBB), social media, and forums for seller reputation and customer reviews.
  • Make sure that the doors open and close easily. Difficulties in opening and sealing the door shut may be a result of uneven ground. When placing a shipping container on the ground or a grassy surface, level the area as much as possible. If it’s impossible with your current location, level the container by wedging a corner or two once it’s in place.
