FAqS

We’ve answered the most common questions about buying and receiving shipping containers from Used Conex. From site prep to delivery timing, you’ll find everything you need to know here.

Can you deliver to downtown Chicago?

Yes — we frequently deliver to urban sites, as long as there’s enough access for the truck. Always check in with our logistics team.

Do I need a permit for a container in Chicago city limits?

Long-term use may require a permit. Short-term storage on private lots often doesn’t — but check with the city.

Are your containers weather-resistant for Chicago winters?

Absolutely. All units are sealed tight against snow, rain, and cold.

Can I use the container for retail overflow or pop-up storage?

Yes — many local businesses use our containers for temporary retail, events, or warehousing.

Am I able to pick a color?

Most customers want to choose their container color, and sometimes this is possible, but not always. You get the first container off of the stack at the intermodal depot. If you order multiple containers, it is often possible to get the color of your choice. Also, one trip containers are generally tan or beige.

Can I see the container before purchasing?

Unfortunately, customers don’t have access to the depots for liability reasons. All the containers are inspected before delivery, and we always recommend our customers to check the container at delivery. If you want to pick up your container, you will be given a release number and the depot information.

What’s the origin of shipping containers?

Containers come from different parts of the world, carrying items such as food, clothes, etc. Most containers coming into the United States are shipped from China, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany and the UK.
