*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Shipping containers are necessary purchases for some businesses. All businesses, however, are always on a budget; thus, prices are a huge consideration in such an acquisition. And so one has three options: buy a brand new shipping container, buy a used shipping container or rent one. In choosing among the options, one must identity one's needs first such as how large the container will be and the duration of its usage. Different uses will have a corresponding scheme.

If one will be using a shipping container for only a few months, it might be best to rent a one instead. This might be more cost efficient depending on your needs. It will also save one from the problem of its disposal after its use. Also, one other advantage of getting a for-hire shipping container is that maintenance wouldn't be much an issue. Several for-hire shipping containers are available in the internet and there is a wide range of containers to choose from. They come in different sizes and specifications, so do let the suppliers know of one's requirements. For food businesses that need to preserve the freshness of their goods, refrigerated containers are also available for hire.

Prices for for-hire containersdiffer by size. For example, in the UK, 10 ft. and 20 ft. containers can be charged at �2 per day while 40 ft. containers can be charged at �3.5 per day which may already be inclusive of a security lockbox. It should be noted that shipping containers can also be delivered directly to one's address (confirm with supplier).

If however, one's activities call for a long term usage of containers, one might think it a better option to buy it brand new. Again, depending on size, brand new containers can range from �3,110.8 to �4977.29. The apparent advantage of buying a new one would be the assurance of its quality. But if a brand new shipping container is too pricey, then purchasing a used one wouldn't necessarily be a bad option; it can even be a prudent decision if you know your needs.

Prices of second hand containerscan go as low �933.24 depending on quality and usage. A background check for signs of dilapidation, however, is a must. One might spend more in its renovation than its purchase if it has not been thoroughly inspected.

In all three however, one must consider its placement in your area. If space is a problem, one might want to rethink even using a shipping container. Also, one must be aware of the locality's policies on shipping containers. Some localities in the UK for example are particular with planning permission, so an inquiry is a must. Also, ask suppliers if they will be able to deliver the container to one's address as one might need to coordinate additional freight arrangements if the supplier does not. Make sure as well that delivery should not be a logistical impossibility. In purchasing containers, disposal is a common problem but people have found innovative ways to reuse and even transform this into a money making space. Above all, know your needs; this will get you a good purchase.
