What you're actually getting

What does "Used Cargo-Worthy" or "New One-Trip" actually mean?

Container condition grading is where most sellers fudge the truth. Here's the honest breakdown for both options — so you can pick with eyes open. Read the full grading guide →

Used · Cargo-Worthy

  • Structurally sound — frame, floor, roof all solid
  • Weathertight — no leaks, no holes, gasket-sealed doors
  • Surface rust on edges and corner castings (cosmetic only)
  • Small dents in the corrugated panels (cosmetic)
  • Paint faded or scuffed from cargo service
  • NO holes through the steel
  • NO leaks or water damage
  • NO doors that won't seal
  • NO rotted floor sections

Our promise: If we wouldn't store our own gear in it, we don't sell it as Cargo-Worthy.

New · One-Trip

  • Manufactured for export, made one ocean voyage, then sold
  • Fresh factory paint — clean, sharp edges
  • No surface rust, no dents, no paint fade
  • Brand-new floor, doors, gaskets
  • Closest to "brand new" without paying truly-new container prices
  • NOT 100% pristine — minor scuffs from the single voyage are normal
  • NOT zero shipping marks — exterior may have small handling marks

Our promise: If it shows up looking worse than a new-appliance scratch-and-dent, we make it right.

Common questions

Questions people ask about 20ft High-Cube Shipping Container containers.

How much taller is a 20ft High-Cube vs Standard?

Exactly 1 foot — 9'6" exterior vs 8'6". Interior is 8'10" usable.

Is a 20ft High-Cube worth the extra $300?

Yes if you'll be inside it (workshop, conversion, tall equipment). No if it's just for boxes — Standard does the same job for less.

Can I stack 20ft High-Cubes?

Yes — corner castings are standard ISO spec. Two stacked HC = 19' tall, which exceeds most residential zoning. Check first.

Do trucks deliver them differently than Standard?

Same delivery rig. The extra foot doesn't change the tilt-bed setup.
