Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 40’ cargo worthy shipping container for sale in Seattle?
A 40’ cargo worthy shipping container for sale in Seattle is a pre-owned steel container that has already been utilized for transporting cargo by sea, rail, or truck. After completing its initial shipping life, it’s resold for other purposes like storage, construction, or modification into spaces such as offices or homes.
What is the difference between a cargo-worthy and wind and water-tight shipping container?
A 40’ container in cargo-worthy grade is suitable for international shipping. It is structurally sound, with a valid CSC plate. Meanwhile, a 40’ container with WWT condition is ideal for static storage. Guaranteed to keep out wind and water, but may show cosmetic wear such as dents, surface rust, or patched areas.
What is the difference between 40 feet and 40 feet High Cube?
The main difference is the height; a 40 feet High Cube container is one foot taller than a standard 40 feet container.
Can I purchase a new or used container in Seattle?
You can purchase both new and used storage containers for sale with us in Seattle. The choice often depends on budget, container prices, and specific needs.
What is the difference between new and used shipping containers in Seattle?
New (one-trip) containers have been loaded only once and are in near-perfect condition, ideal for container homes, ADU builds, or sensitive storage. Used containers come in several grades: Wind & Water Tight and Cargo Worthy.
Can I use 40’ new shipping containers for other purposes besides shipping?
Yes, you can. In fact, shipping containers are popular for storage, modular construction, tiny homes, mobile offices, and even as pools or retail spaces.
Can I build a container ADU in Seattle?
Yes, Seattle is one of the accessible markets in the country for container-based accessory dwelling units. Container ADU projects must comply with the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI) permitting process, including setback requirements, height limits, design standards, and Washington State Building Code compliance.
Are shipping containers inspected before delivery to Seattle?
Yes. Every Container from National Container undergoes inspection processes before it is delivered to your Seattle address. This matters especially in Seattle’s high-rainfall environment.
Are shipping containers rain-resistant enough for Seattle’s climate?
Yes. Corten steel shipping containers are inherently weatherproof and rust-resistant, making them well-suited to Seattle’s wet Pacific Northwest climate. For long-term storage, we recommend Wind & Water Tight (WWT) or one-trip condition grades, and adding vents to prevent internal condensation build-up.
How long does shipping container delivery take?
Shipping container delivery typically takes 3-4 business days from order confirmation, with next-day delivery available in select metro areas and 7-10 business days during peak season (spring and fall). Delivery speed depends on your location, the time your order is placed, container availability, and seasonal demand.
Does the listed price include the delivery fee?
No, shipping container prices listed on our website do not include delivery fees or sales tax unless the listing specifically states otherwise. Delivery is quoted separately based on the distance from our nearest depot to your delivery address.
Do I need a permit for a shipping container?
Whether you need a permit for a shipping container depends on your local municipality. Some jurisdictions require no permit at all, while others require a zoning permit, building permit, or HOA approval before placement. Permit requirements for shipping containers, conex boxes, and cargo containers vary significantly by city, county, and state.
What's included with the delivery of my shipping container?
Standard shipping container delivery includes tilt-bed truck transport from our depot to your address and ground-level placement of the container on your prepared site. Site preparation, crane services, and permits are not included in standard delivery.
