Used Shipping Containers

USED

Our most popular container, used general purpose containers have been in heavy-duty shipping service for 5 to 15 years before being “retired.”

Most used shipping containers will have the original paint and shipping line markings. They will also have surface rust, dents, and abrasions. Used shipping containers might not look good on the outside and inside, but depending on their grade, they will be structurally sound and some may still be suitable for export.

New Shipping Containers

NEW

New One Trip shipping containers may have minor dents, dings and scrapes which are a result of normal shipping and handling during their long ocean journey.

These new shipping containers are manufactured in Asia and then shipped to our various depots around the world. In order to reduce the cost of shipping and provide our customers with the best prices we load these new containers with cargo 1 time. This helps us offset the re-positioning costs and allows us to pass on the savings to our customers. Hence the name “New One Trip”

We've Got A lot of Happy Customers

Had a good experience as they were able to get a pod out soon after I called. The other two I called needed two to three days. Good customer service and would use them again.
Jason morland
Star was able to answer all my questions and gave me certainty on the container I was getting. Was able to get a nice deal on the unit! Thanks so much. Highly recommended!
Kaye Nabaza
I’m glad I was assisted by Gene. He’s very thorough and informative. Bought 4 20 ft last month for storage since we moved and no issues. Thank you!
Joanne Orpilla
