Condition moves the price first
Wind-and-watertight, cargo-worthy and one-trip are not interchangeable grades. Ask for the exact unit, recent photos and a written condition description.

Shipping container prices in Whitehorse
Plan around current asking prices for ordinary 20 ft and 40 ft dry sea cans in Whitehorse. These estimates cover the container itself, without delivery.
Planning range
What the container alone may cost
Public pricing is limited in this market, so the ranges are deliberately broad. Confirm local stock and the exact unit before planning a purchase.
| Size | Condition | Estimated container price |
|---|---|---|
| 20 ft standard | Used WWT / cargo-worthy | $3,500–$5,000 |
| 20 ft standard | New one-trip | $5,000–$7,500 |
| 40 ft standard or high-cube | Used WWT / cargo-worthy | $6,500–$8,500 |
| 40 ft, usually high-cube | New one-trip | $9,000–$10,500 |
WWT means wind and watertight. Cargo-worthy is a different grade and may carry current inspection or certification requirements. A low advertised price can also be an as-is unit, a limited sale or a starting price rather than a representative unit.
How to compare quotes
A price is only useful when the grade matches
These checks keep a low headline number from becoming an expensive surprise.
Forty-foot usually means high-cube
Much of the current 40 ft one-trip inventory is 9 ft 6 in high. Confirm the height and door configuration before comparing two offers.
Separate the unit from the trip
For a fair Whitehorse comparison, ask suppliers to show the container, delivery, unloading and tax as separate lines.
Already-landed cost is different
A unit already in a northern market can carry the cost of earlier rail, road or sealift movement. This guide excludes final delivery to your property, but cannot remove logistics already embedded in a seller’s inventory price.
