A complete reference for anyone buying, owning, or researching shipping containers. Every claim is cited to industry sources. No sales pitch, no filler.
Shipping containers are a significant purchase. The industry has no federal regulation, warranty terms vary widely between dealers, and the gap between what a buyer expects and what they receive is well-documented in consumer complaints. This site exists to close that gap.
Every topic is covered in depth: container grades, warranty terms, delivery logistics, modification costs, pricing and market conditions, maintenance, buyer protection, and common mistakes. Each section answers the question directly, then provides the context and sourcing behind the answer. The goal is a resource thorough enough that a first-time buyer and an experienced owner both find it useful.
Start with Container Grades and the FAQ. Those two sections answer the questions that determine whether a purchase goes smoothly or sideways.
The Maintenance and Modifications sections cover what keeps a container in service for 25 years and what work is safe to do without voiding your warranty.
