How much does it cost to sell used containers?

Containers originate from cargo ships at sea. After a period of use, these containers are no longer qualified for sea transportation, so they should be replaced and resold to the ones that need to use. Every year, there are many shipping lines that need to sell old containers and this is the source of container supply for the market.
Although it is an old container and cannot be shipped by sea due to strict regulations in ocean transportation, it is still good with 70% - 90% quality and is eligible for use in normal conditions. In the past, people only used old containers as warehouses or transporting goods. But for about 30 years now, old containers have been designed and reprocessed into offices and prefab houses with high durability, beautiful designs while the cost and construction time is very short.

The market for buying and selling used containers in Hanoi has been very active in recent years. The biggest reason is the great benefits it brings.
Firstly, compared to buying a new container, using an old container is much more cost-effective. When customers have demand for containers mainly for storage or office, the price of this type is only from 30-50 million/cont, while the price of a completely new container is about 140 to 160 million. Thus, instead of spending 4 times more money to buy unnecessary new containers, you should buy old containers at a cheaper price but with the same quality.
Secondly, compared with the construction of traditional concrete houses, the use of old containers as houses, offices, and warehouses saves a lot of construction costs and time. This is clearly shown when the cost to build an office or warehouse is up to hundreds to millions and even billions of dong. But for only a few tens of millions, guests have a room with an equivalent area. Not only that, the time to build offices and warehouses from containers is much shorter than the time it takes to build a concrete house in a few months.
In addition, using old containers as offices and warehouses also makes it easy to transport and reuse or liquidate after the construction is finished or there is no need to use it anymore.

Today, old containers are not only used for packing and transporting goods, but also converted into containers with different purposes such as:

The first products that the second-hand container sellers in Hanoi provide are containers used as warehouses to store goods, equipment, supplies, and machinery. It not only helps customers to store goods safely but also easily relocated in the event of an accident thanks to its mobility. In addition, buying old containers as warehouses also helps to save expensive warehouse construction costs. According to experts, it can save 70% of construction cost.
Today, the old container is also integrated with an air conditioner to preserve goods that need to be at low temperature such as seafood, vegetables, etc.

It can be said that the creation of container offices in Hanoi's second-hand containers is a great achievement and has contributed greatly to today's life. It helps to create fully functional offices with low cost, short construction time and especially portable. Therefore, buying containers for offices is chosen by many customers, especially construction companies. They use containers as offices for employees to work, temporary housing for workers, site operators...
Besides, the companies selling old containers in Hanoi can also put them together into larger, more solid container blocks. Usually, big companies with many employees working on site will use assembled container houses rather than individual containers.

Check the old container before buying
When buying used containers in Hanoi, we need to carefully check if the container is punctured, leaky, rusty or dented anywhere? Is the floor still solid? Is the machine working properly? This is very important because the old containers are now painted and refurbished to be clean and beautiful to serve the needs of use and if not carefully checked, the customer may buy a leaky, rusty container.
A good old container must meet the following standards: Intact condition, use time can be 7-10 years, have CSC board of shipping company, production life ...
 
Don't just care about the purchase price
Low price is one of the factors that influence the buying decision of customers. Many companies selling used containers in Hanoi grasp that mentality and sell them with words like "selling old containers for scrap metal" to make customers attracted and buy goods without paying attention to product quality. . This is very dangerous.
If you buy a very cheap but poor quality container, it is likely to be damaged, not working at that time or after a period of use, it will degrade and leak. This not only affects the work, but also wastes money when buying another cont to use. Instead, we should buy old but good quality containers at reputable units with good warranty, repair and replacement regimes, although the price is a bit higher.
 
You should choose to buy from reputable used container companies
As mentioned above, now in Hanoi there are many companies selling used containers at cheap prices with different quality. Customers should choose a company that has a clear address and phone number, has many years of operation experience, and has received many good feedbacks from users. It is best to look for locations near your area, or near the construction site to be able to see the goods in person.
In case it is not possible to come see it on eyes, the customer should ask the company to send a photo of the product, and if purchased, ask for the same old container.
