Common uses include:

  • On-site storage for construction crews in the East Bay
  • Overflow inventory for retailers in Alameda and Fremont
  • Agricultural equipment storage for small farms in Livermore and Brentwood
  • Temporary storage for film and event crews in downtown Oakland or San Jose

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 other towns or cities around Oakland or you only deliver to Oakland?

Yes, we deliver to just about any city or town around Oakland . Most container depots are located in major cities and that’s why we don’t have a yard in smaller towns. We store our containers in container yards around Vance , AL and we can deliver anywhere within 200-250 miles from those depots. We use local drivers who have been delivering shipping containers out of Vance for a long time, so they are familiar with all the areas and they will plan deliveries accordingly.

Do I need a permit to place a shipping container on my Oakland property?

In most residential areas of Oakland, short-term placement of a container on private property doesn’t require a permit. However, if you’re placing it on a public street or sidewalk, or in a commercial zone, you may need a temporary use or encroachment permit from the City of Oakland. Always check with the Oakland Planning Department or your HOA before delivery.

Can you deliver to hilly areas like the Oakland Hills or Montclair?

Yes! We frequently deliver to properties in the Oakland Hills, Montclair, and other sloped neighborhoods. If your driveway or access road is steep or curved, let us know in advance — we’ll evaluate your site and work with our delivery team to ensure safe placement.

How long does delivery take in the East Bay?

Most containers are delivered within 10-20 business days of your order in the Oakland area. We regularly serve Alameda, San Leandro, Hayward, and surrounding ZIP codes, so turnaround is typically quick and reliable

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.
