Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 40’ WWT high cube shipping container for sale in Houston?
A 40’ WWT high cube shipping container for sale in Houston is a pre-owned, extra-tall steel container with 9.6’ height (one foot taller than standard). Although no longer certified for international cargo worthiness, this type of container is ideal and safe for use as a warehouse.
What is the difference between a cargo-worthy and wind and water-tight shipping container?
A 40’ cargo-worthy container is suitable for international shipping. It is structurally sound, with a valid CSC plate. Meanwhile, a WWT 40’ container 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.
What are the uses of 40 feet used High Cube containers?
Other than for storing and transporting bulky items that don’t fit in standard containers, 40 feet High Cube containers are used as portable offices or for storage. They can also be customized for various functions.
Can I purchase a new or used high cube container in Houston?

Can I use 40’ used high cube 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.
Are shipping containers inspected before delivery to Houston?
Yes, they are. Every Container from National Container undergoes inspection processes before it is delivered to your Houston address.
Can a shipping container adapt to the climate in Houston?
Yes, it can. A shipping container can adapt very well to Houston's climate when properly selected, maintained, and, if necessary, modified. One of the biggest climate challenges in Houston is the combination of intense summer heat and high humidity. However, shipping containers are originally engineered to transport cargo across oceans and endure some of the world's harshest weather conditions, making them highly durable in environments like Houston.
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.
Do shipping containers come with a warranty?
