An empty shipping-container relocation has no single Canadian price. On September 13, 2026, two live Yellowhead Storage pages showed conflicting Edmonton round-trip schedules: its container-delivery page listed $150 per hour for an empty 20-foot unit and $200 for an empty 40-foot unit, while its storage-container sales page listed $165 and $215 respectively; both excluded GST and fuel surcharges and said rates could change, so neither should be treated as a confirmed quote.
