What Moves the Price
- Grade: wind-and-watertight is cheapest; cargo-worthy costs more; one-trip is the premium.
- Size: 40ft costs more than 20ft but far less per square foot.
- Delivery distance: the biggest variable — and Long Beach’s port location keeps it low.
- Site access: a tight or sloped lot can add a placement charge.
- Supply: container prices track the global market, so timing matters.
Why Long Beach Is Cheaper Than Inland Markets
Delivery (drayage) is the single largest cost swing on a container. Because our depots sit next to the Port of Long Beach, the box travels a short distance to you instead of being trucked in from Arizona or the Central Valley. That is why a container delivered in Long Beach usually beats the same unit delivered inland.
