Shipping containers for sale in Norfolk, VA

Container delivery across Hampton Roads

We sell new and used shipping containers and deliver them to sites in Norfolk and across Hampton Roads, including Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News, and Hampton. The Port of Virginia handles a large share of the East Coast's container traffic, so the region sees a steady flow of steel boxes in every size. That helps selection. What decides your order is the drop spot and the route to it, so we quote delivery to your address rather than send you to a yard.

Buyers here range from homeowners clearing a garage before a move to contractors, boatyards, marinas, and small businesses that need dry, lockable storage close to the water.

Storing on a humid, storm-prone coast

Coastal Virginia is humid for much of the year, and salt air speeds up rust on bare steel. A wind-and-watertight container, with no daylight, drafts, or leaks, keeps rain out. The bigger risk inside a sealed box is condensation, when warm, damp air meets cooler steel overnight. Vents or a desiccant protect stored tools, furniture, and boat gear. On a used unit, expect some surface rust; it is cosmetic, but a fresh coat of paint on the roof extends its life near the shore.

Hurricane season and winter nor'easters bring high wind and storm surge to parts of the region. A loaded container is heavy and sits low, but an empty one placed on soft ground in a flood-prone area can shift. Set the box on firm, raised ground or pads where you can, keep it out of known flood paths, and ask a local contractor about tie-downs if your site is exposed. Our guide to shipping containers in hurricanes and high wind covers placement and anchoring in more depth, and our foundations guide compares pads, piers, and slabs.

Containers we deliver in Norfolk

• For home and business storage, a used 20ft wind-and-watertight container fits most driveways and side yards. A used 40ft standard container doubles the space for a contractor or a marina.
• For a clean box that will sit outdoors for years, a 40ft one-trip high cube starts with near-new paint and seals. A 20ft high cube gives the same extra height on a shorter footprint.
• For a mid-size option on a tight lot, a used 30ft container sits between the two common lengths.
• For seafood, produce, or event cold storage with power on site, a used 40ft reefer holds chilled or frozen goods.

How we quote and deliver here

Send your address, the unit you want, and a note on access. We reply within 1 business day with one free, itemized quote and no hidden fees. Every container is inspected and graded before delivery. A reefer is typically fulfilled in 7 to 10 business days.

Delivery is on a tilt-bed truck that sets the container at ground level, with no crane needed for a standard box. We check site access first. Older Norfolk neighborhoods with narrow streets, low tree limbs, and overhead lines need a closer look than open lots in Chesapeake or Suffolk. Our guide on preparing your property for container delivery explains what the truck needs, and our tips on how to secure a shipping container help once it is in place.
