Container Home for Sale by Owner — Buying Direct

Quick answer

Buying a container home direct from the manufacturer is effectively a factory-direct purchase: you specify the unit, order direct, and receive a written quote covering the unit and the freight. There is no dealer margin. Units ship folded and are delivered port-to-port (FOB); payment is by bank transfer in full.

What direct means

Buying direct means dealing with the source of production rather than a reseller. You specify the unit and receive a quote covering the unit and the freight together.

No dealer margin

A direct order removes the dealer layer, so the price reflects production and freight rather than a chain of markups.

Why it is a quote

Units are built to order and freight varies by destination, so a single checkout price is impossible. A written quote gives you the real figure.

How to proceed

Send your size, layout, quantity and nearest seaport. We confirm the specification and lead time and send a written quote.

Payment and delivery

Payment is by bank transfer in full. Delivery is port-to-port (FOB); you arrange the last mile and setup.

Getting started

Send your requirements and nearest port for a quote. Bank transfer in full; delivery port-to-port (FOB).

Frequently asked questions

How is payment handled?

Payment is by bank transfer in full before production.

How are units delivered?

Units ship folded and are delivered port-to-port (FOB). You arrange local transport from the port to your site.

Can I order more than one unit?

Yes. Multi-unit orders ship together, which lowers the freight cost per unit.

What to check before you commit

Three checks prevent most problems. First, confirm what your local authority will classify the unit as once it is permanently sited, and get that in writing. Second, get a local price for the work after the port — haulage, lifting, foundation and connections — because those costs are not related to the unit price and are where budgets move. Third, ask for the structural drawings and the insulation specification before you order.

On the unit itself, look at four things: how the shell was reinforced at every opening, what insulation is used and how the vapour strategy works, what documentation arrives with the electrical installation, and what the structural warranty actually covers. A supplier who can answer all four promptly is building to a standard you can inspect.

On payment and delivery, understand the terms clearly before committing: units are sold port-to-port (FOB) with payment by bank transfer in full before production, and the buyer arranges local transport and site works from the arrival port.

Getting a real number

Send your destination postal code and the model you are considering, and we take that to a customs broker and return an all-in delivered figure — unit, ocean freight, duty and brokerage — usually within one business day. There is no online checkout and no obligation: the quote opens the conversation rather than closing it.

Payment is by bank transfer in full before production, and units are delivered port-to-port (FOB); you arrange local transport from the arrival port to your site. We work factory-direct with a single vetted manufacturer, so the price you see is the same price a retailer would pay, with no distributor margin layered on top.
