Shipping Containers in Vancouver
New (one-trip) and used 20ft and 40ft seacans delivered straight to your site in Vancouver and the surrounding British Columbia countryside. Our tilt-deck truck sets the container on the ground where you want it — no crane, no forklift, no deposit. You pay once it's landed and you've looked it over.
Delivery estimate is for one container over the 1147 km road route from our Edmonton yard. Your quote is priced from your exact address against whichever yard is closest to you, so the real figure may be lower.

Delivering to Vancouver
Vancouver sits 1147 km from our yard, about 11.8 hours on the road. That's a run we make regularly, so getting a seacan to you is routine rather than a special trip.
A 40ft container travels one per load. Two 20ft containers can share a load, which is why ordering a pair costs far less per unit than ordering them separately — on top of the 5% multi-unit discount that applies to any two or more containers.
The truck tilts and slides the container onto the ground, so you don't need equipment on site. What you do need is a level, firm approach and room to manoeuvre — roughly 100 feet for a 40ft, less for a 20ft.

Shipping containers in Vancouver — common questions
Do you deliver shipping containers to Vancouver?
Yes. Vancouver is 1147 km from our yard — about a 11.8-hour drive — and it's a route we run regularly. We deliver 20ft and 40ft containers, new (one-trip) and used, on a tilt-deck truck that sets the container straight on the ground. No crane or forklift needed at your end.
How much does container delivery to Vancouver cost?
Delivery to Vancouver starts around $3,741 for a single container, based on the 1147 km road distance from our yard. That covers one trip — a 40ft container travels one per load, and two 20ft containers can share a load. Your exact delivery cost is calculated from your specific address when you build a quote, and we ship from whichever of our yards is closest to you.
Do I need to pay a deposit for a container in Vancouver?
No. You pay when the container is on your Vancouver property and you've confirmed it's what you ordered. If it doesn't arrive, or it isn't as described, you don't pay. We take cash, Interac e-Transfer, or certified cheque on delivery, and credit card online.
How long does delivery to Vancouver take?
Typically 1–3 business days from order to delivery, depending on what's in stock and the schedule. Vancouver is a longer haul, so allow a little more time — and winter weather can add a day or two.
What does my site in Vancouver need for delivery?
Level, well-drained ground and a clear approach — roughly 100 feet for a 40ft container, less for a 20ft. Railway ties or concrete blocks under the four corners keep the container off the dirt and extend its life. Check with the Vancouver municipal office about permits if the container will be a permanent structure; storage use usually doesn't need one.
Can I pick up a container instead of having it delivered to Vancouver?
Yes. If you have your own trailer or can arrange transport, pickup from our yard is available and saves you the delivery charge. Give us a call and we'll get you set up. Ordering 2 or more containers takes 5% off the whole order, delivered or picked up.
