Why Container Prices Drop in Fall

Container prices tend to dip before winter due to shifting shipping patterns and reduced construction activity. Many businesses clear excess inventory before year-end, creating seasonal opportunities for buyers. According to FreightWaves, the fall season often brings short-term price drops across U.S. depots — ideal for individuals and businesses planning storage or workspace projects.

This period also sees an increase in buyers looking to winterize their properties, with containers serving as durable storage solutions for equipment, tools, and seasonal inventory. Learn how others use containers creatively in our Container Ideas Blog.

FAQs About Buying Shipping Containers This Fall

1. How long will these discounts last?

Fall 2025 discounts are available while supply lasts. Once regional depot inventory clears out, prices typically rise again by mid-November.

2. Can I choose a specific container color?

Used containers are selected first-off-the-stack, meaning color requests aren’t guaranteed. New containers may allow limited color selection depending on depot stock.

3. Do I need a foundation or permit for a container?

Most customers place containers on leveled gravel or concrete pads. Depending on your local jurisdiction, small storage containers may not require permits — but always check local regulations.

4. Are these containers weatherproof?

Yes. All listed units are wind- and water-tight (WWT) dry boxes, designed to protect against moisture, pests, and extreme weather conditions.
