Short answer: Delivery typically costs $350–$550 within 50 miles of a depot, and increases with distance and site-access difficulty. It's calculated separately from the container's listed price and confirmed before your order is finalized.
Distance is the single biggest factor in delivery pricing. Buyers near major ports and depot hubs — coastal cities and established logistics corridors — typically pay less than those in landlocked, rural, or inland markets, simply because the truck has less ground to cover.
A flat, clear delivery point — roughly the container's length plus room for the delivery truck to maneuver — keeps costs at the low end of the range. Tight driveways, overhead obstructions, steep grades, or soft ground can require specialized equipment (like a tilt-bed or crane truck), which adds to the fee. We'll flag this with you before finalizing delivery if your site looks like it needs special handling.
Most deliveries within 50 miles of a depot run $350 to $550. Mid-range distances (50–150 miles) typically fall between $550 and $1,200. Longer or difficult-access deliveries can run $1,200 to $2,500+. We confirm the exact delivery fee for your address before your order is finalized — nothing is charged automatically.
