Shipping Container Questions, Answered Clearly.

K3 sells common 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers, including standard-height and high cube options when available. We also help customers source specialty containers such as double door and side door units.

A new or one-trip container is typically cleaner and has made limited cargo use. A used container is usually more budget-friendly and is often a strong choice for storage, job sites, farms, and business inventory.

Delivery depends on the container size, distance, route, access, surface, and placement conditions. K3 gives clear delivery details before you approve the quote.

Yes. Tell us what you are storing, where the container is going, how much space you have, and whether you want to buy, rent, or rent-to-own. We can help compare the best fit.

Pricing depends on size, condition, availability, market conditions, and delivery location. Contact K3 for a free, same-day quote with current pricing.

Yes. You're welcome to choose from K3's available inventory in the yard.

Contact K3 to talk through current payment options, including any financing or rent-to-own programs available.

Yes. Come by the yard, inspect the options in person, and pick the container that works best for you before buying.

K3 bills rentals in 30-day increments, not 28-day cycles like many companies. That makes the rental period easier to understand and easier to plan around.

No. K3 keeps rental quotes clear. If delivery, pickup, location, or placement details affect the price, we explain that before you approve the rental.

Most customers rent 20-foot or 40-foot storage containers. K3 also offers specialty rental options such as 40-foot 4 side door and 40-foot double door containers, depending on availability.

Customers use rental containers for jobsite storage, remodels, business inventory, farm and ranch supplies, retail overflow, seasonal storage, tools, equipment, and temporary projects.

There is no minimum rental period. Contact K3 for current rental terms.

K3 delivers throughout Waco and a broad Central Texas service area, including nearby towns, lake communities, farm and ranch properties, contractor yards, commercial sites, and industrial areas. Visit the Delivery Area page for the expanded list.

Delivery pricing can depend on the container size, distance, route, driveway or gate access, overhead clearance, ground conditions, and how the container needs to be placed.

Yes. K3 regularly helps customers with rural storage needs. Firm ground, good access, and a clear placement area help make rural delivery smoother.

K3 Containers & Transport can help with container moving and transport. Call with the pickup address, drop-off address, container size, access details, and whether the container is loaded or empty.

Generally, no. For safety reasons, containers should be emptied before relocation unless K3 has made specific arrangements and approved the load in advance.

Yes — K3 can deliver onto gravel, asphalt, concrete, or compacted dirt. Soft or muddy ground usually isn't suitable.

K3 recommends having someone on-site, but if that's not possible, arrangements can often be made in advance.

Yes. K3 offers rent-to-own options for customers who want a path toward ownership without paying the full purchase price upfront.

Rent-to-own can be a good fit for customers who need long-term storage and want to eventually own the container, but want payments spread out over time.

Tell K3 your goal before you start. We can help compare buying, renting, and rent-to-own so you understand which option fits your situation best.

In many cases, yes — ask K3 about converting your rental into a purchase.

Clear the path, confirm gate and driveway access, remove low limbs or overhead obstacles, choose firm and level ground, and mark the exact placement spot.

Yes, level and firm ground is best. A container placed on uneven or soft ground can be harder to use and may cause door alignment issues.

Many customers place containers on gravel, concrete, asphalt, or firm dirt. The key is a stable, accessible, and reasonably level surface that supports the container.

Send the container size, whether you want to buy, rent, or rent-to-own, delivery address, placement details, site access notes, and the best phone number to reach you.

Generally, plan for 60–100 feet of straight clearance, about 12 feet of width, and roughly 15 feet of overhead clearance clear of trees and power lines. Not sure your site qualifies? Send K3 photos and we'll help determine if delivery is possible.

K3 will always do its best to place the container exactly where you'd like, as long as the spot is safe and accessible for the equipment.

Yes. Every container K3 sells is inspected for structural integrity before delivery and built to protect your belongings from rain, wind, and harsh weather.

K3’s cargo-worthy and wind-and-water-tight units are built to keep water out in normal weather. No used container can be guaranteed watertight forever, but every unit is thoroughly inspected before it leaves the yard.

Containers work well for storage, construction sites, farm equipment, workshops, business inventory, hunting-property storage, emergency storage, retail pop-up shops, offices, and tiny-home projects.

Yes. K3 can customize containers with roll-up doors, windows, personnel doors, electrical systems, insulation, HVAC, shelving, and interior finishes.

Absolutely — with the right prep and marine-grade coatings, your container can look brand new. Many customers use direct-to-metal (DTM) paint for a durable finish.

Some surface rust is normal on used containers. With basic maintenance and touch-up paint, a container can last for decades.

With proper care, most shipping containers stay useful for 25 years or more.

Permit requirements vary by city, county, and HOA, so check with your local building department or HOA before delivery.

K3 is happy to talk through your project and share general guidance, but confirming local permit requirements is ultimately the property owner’s responsibility.
