How Much Does it Cost to Buy a Shipping Container in Ontario or British Columbia?
If you’re looking to buy a sea container, cost is certainly on your mind. But many factors need to be taken into account before ultimately buying your shipping container. TargetBox Here’s how to decide what you need, and how much you could spend.
Determine the Right Quality of Your Container
Buy a New Shipping Container to Ensure Optimal Quality and Lifespan
You should buy a new shipping container (also called a ‘sea can’) if quality and lifespan are important to you. A new shipping container will be in the best possible shape, having only taken one oceangoing trip from Asia to North America, and it will have a longer life left than if you purchased a used container.
Buy a used shipping container for an affordable container solution
If you are constrained by a tight budget, then you’ll be glad to know that shipping container pricing fluctuates depending on its condition. Used containers, in less-than-perfect condition with dents, some rust and other imperfections, are less expensive than new units.
Buy a construction-grade container to get storage basics for a low price
Residents and businesses in Ontario and British Columbia can discover older ‘c’ cans for sale at rock-bottom pricing. They will certainly not be in perfect condition, but for those seeking the bare bones model, you won’t find a better shipping container price.
Buy a Modified Shipping Container to Get Exactly What You Need
Your shipping container price is also affected by the type and number of modifications you want to make, if any. You can modify your container in a multitude of ways, including adding a roll-up door, adding windows, installing insulation and ventilation, wiring your unit for electricity and retro-fitting your container into an office.
Determine The Right Shipping Container Size For Your Needs
TargetBox has 10-foot shipping containers, 20-foot shipping containers and 40-foot shipping containers available now in Ontario and British Columbia. These are the most well-known sizes and often provide the best value. Also available are ‘high-cube’ options with one extra foot of height for those seeking a little more headroom.
10-Foot Shipping Container
Choose a 10-foot shipping container if you need some extra storage, but don’t have a lot of space on your property for a shipping container. These are large enough to hold the contents of most one-bedroom condos and apartments, or furniture and appliances while your home is being renovated.

20-Foot Shipping Container
Choose a 20-foot sea container size if you need enough space to store the contents of a three-bedroom home. This unit fits comfortably on most driveways, making it the ideal choice for large home renovation projects, and placement in backyards can transform it into a stellar multi-use outdoor storage unit. This is our most popular size of shipping container.
