Hi everyone. Is it possible to buy end of life container and transport it to a property?
Where get it? What price... :)

I have seen containers converted to storage and offices here, but I don't have any idea where to get one. Contacting the shipping companies that own them who service the DR sounds like where I would search.

No long ago, I was browsing on "lapulga.com.do" and I saw a lot of containers for sale.
Unfortunately, I don't remember which category I picked.

Check with the Dominicanu office of Maersk Shipping. Maybe they can sell you a used container or point you in the right direction. Maersk Line shipping containers worldwide

Also, there are plenty of containers for sale on ebay, mostly by shipping companies. Look to see if any want to sell and ship an empty container.

When I've seen them for sale in the US, they run about US$3000-$5000 and sometimes less depending on their condition and availability. The term most commonly used in English is a 20' Shipping container. Maybe one of the shipping companies that advertise here can sell one to you.
