  • 5 Red Flags to Check Before Buying a Used Shipping Container

    5 Red Flags to Check Before Buying a Used Shipping Container
    Apr 30 2026

    Most people buying a used shipping container don't know what to actually inspect — and that's how they end up with rust, smelly floors, jammed doors, and surprise delivery fees.

    In this episode, Andy walks Emma through the 5 red flags he's learned from years in the container business — plus a bonus segment on how to spot online supplier scams.

    What's covered:

    → Why the shipping line history matters more than the price

    → How to read a container's plate (and what sellers try to hide)

    → The plywood floor smell test — and why bad smells are permanent

    → Door rods, twisted frames, and how to spot them from photos

    → Lock boxes, lock types, and why a $10 padlock kills your security

    → Realistic delivery prices for AU and US — and what's a scam

    → Bonus: the biggest online scam signal Andy keeps seeing

    Three quick takeaways:

    — Brown rust-paint hides rust. Look closer at the welds.

    — If the doors don't close pressed-tight, the frame is bent. Walk away.

    — $625 AUD or $700–900 USD is fair for 20ft delivery within 100km. Way below = red flag.
