Buy the condition you need—not a label you have not verified
Used containers can show dents, patches, surface rust, floor wear and previous repairs. Ask whether photographs show the actual unit, request written condition terms, and confirm the seller’s process if it arrives in a different condition. A condition label does not replace checking the doors, seals, roof, floor, corrosion and odour.
Wind & Watertight
A practical storage starting point when functional doors and protection from normal wind and rain matter more than appearance.
Cargo Worthy
A structurally serviceable used option, but current export certification or survey status must be confirmed separately if required.
Refurbished
Repainting can improve presentation, but ask what preparation and repairs were completed beneath the finish.
What to include with your request
- Confirm the grade, written condition terms and whether photos show the actual unit.
- Review doors, seals, roof, walls, floor, corrosion and repairs.
- Ask about odour or previous cargo when contents are sensitive.
- Confirm inspection, return and dispute terms before paying.
- Compare the same size and grade with delivery, unloading and taxes identified.
