Why Container Prices Are Dropping This Fall
After a volatile summer, the container shipping market is stabilizing. According to FreightWaves, a global slowdown in freight demand and easing depot congestion have led to temporary price drops across the U.S. This benefits individual buyers and small businesses looking to secure storage or workspace containers before peak winter demand.
At YES Containers, we’re seeing steady interest from homeowners, contractors, and retailers preparing for winter storage, pop-up shops, and worksite solutions. These fall container sales won’t last long — most depots will adjust pricing again before November.

FAQs About the Second Fall Price Drop
1. Is this the final fall price drop?
While no further official drops are scheduled, prices often rise again before winter due to higher transport costs and depot demand. This could be the last major sale before 2026.
2. Can I reserve a container for later delivery?
Yes — you can lock in your price now and schedule delivery later. Ask our team about delayed delivery or on-site storage arrangements.
3. What’s the difference between standard and high cube containers?
High cube containers are one foot taller (9’6”) than standard (8’6”), providing extra vertical space — ideal for large equipment, shelving, or custom conversions.
4. Can I customize my container?
Yes. Many customers add insulation, doors, or windows for workshops and offices. For inspiration, visit our container use cases blog.
