Choose the condition for the job, then ask for recent photos of the actual unit. - **Used, wind and watertight**: For general dry storage. Expect cosmetic wear; inspect the roof, floor, seals and doors. Wind and watertight does not mean insulated. - **Cargo-worthy**: For a used container intended for transport. Ask your carrier to confirm the required inspection and documentation. - **One-trip**: Used for one cargo journey before sale. Usually a cleaner finish, with some handling marks possible. Ask what the condition description includes: holes or patches, roof and wall corrosion, floor repairs, seals, locking bars and whether both doors operate. Model illustrations and grade labels do not replace current photos or an inspection of the selected unit.

Different openings can make stock easier to reach, but require their own dimensions, placement space and quote. - **Standard end doors**: Plan the door end toward your loading area and leave room for the doors to swing. Check the actual clear opening and locking arrangements. - **Double-door / tunnel**: Doors at both ends provide two access points. Confirm that both ends will remain accessible after placement and that this is the model quoted. - **Side-opening**: Side access can suit long items or stock reached along the container. Ask for the clear side opening, door arrangement and room required to open it. - **Insulation and other modifications**: Specify shelving, vents, a lock box or a fitted insulated interior separately. Ask how each option changes the usable space, price and delivery lead time.

The container price is only one part of the total. Compare the same size and condition, with delivery and unloading to your address included. - Container: model, condition, quantity and any modifications. - Transport: dispatch depot, destination postal code and unloading method. - Site: firm, level ground, truck access, overhead clearance and door orientation. - Total: applicable sales taxes, extra site work and the confirmed delivery date. [See Canadian sea can price examples](https://containerfox.com/ca/shipping-container-prices) and [prepare for delivery](https://containerfox.com/ca/container-delivery). ## Prepare the delivery and placement Send access photos and the intended position before accepting delivery. The supplier must confirm a suitable truck, offloading method and the space needed to place your container. 1. Mark the final position and which way the doors should face. Keep the loading area and door swing clear. 2. Describe the access route: gate width, bends, slope, ground condition, overhead obstacles and available space for the truck. Ask for the clearance required by the actual delivery vehicle. 3. Agree the bearing surface and supports with the supplier. Confirm who prepares them and how the unit will be levelled so the doors work correctly. 4. Confirm tilt-bed, crane or other offloading in writing. Identify any separate lifting contractor, booking, site work or waiting charges. 5. On arrival, check the unit number, condition and placement against the order. Open and close the doors before signing off delivery. For a tight urban driveway or remote site, ask for an access review before booking. A container fitting in the planned footprint does not establish that a truck can reach and unload it. ## Find a supplier near your project 82 businesses in the ContainerFox directory list container sales.

Yes, provided the supplier serves your address and the site is suitable. Confirm placement rules with your municipality and arrange clear truck access before ordering. ### Is delivery included in the model price? Catalogue model prices are in CAD before sales taxes, delivery and unloading. Request the complete delivered total and confirm availability for your postal code. ### Can I pick up a sea can from a depot? Some suppliers offer depot pickup. Confirm the exact depot, loading arrangements and appointment, then arrange suitable transport and unloading equipment at your destination. **Have a specific size in mind?** Compare the dimensions before requesting your delivered price. → [Compare container sizes](https://containerfox.com/ca/shipping-containers) ## Related guides - [20ft sea cans](https://containerfox.com/ca/20ft-shipping-containers): Dimensions, usable space and door opening. - [40ft sea cans](https://containerfox.com/ca/40ft-shipping-containers): Standard and High Cube options. - [Insulated sea cans](https://containerfox.com/ca/insulated-shipping-containers): Compare insulation, heating and cold storage. ## About ContainerFox ContainerFox is a Canadian directory of shipping container sellers and a free quote request service.
