Shipping container costs.


Recommended Posts

They say a lot of the issues are in China shipping yards . There running them like US mafia use to . You want your shit shipped you pay. 

I have a bud who litteray has been to China multiple times to get his containers on the ships.  Started looking in to privet air cargo . And this is for fucking pet toys

I was talking to a logistics manager at a local mfg plant. He told me that shipping containers coming in from Asia that were $4000 last year are now $30,000. Incredible. Between covid shut downs and labor shortages the boats are piling up. Crazing times 

you are correct, its just a bidding war, costco and walmart have bought their own ships and sea containers to not have the issues anymore..

Those two companies are large enough and have the working capital to pull it off. The small or moderate size companies will continue to get squeezed. There's still going to be a bottle neck at the ports until both covid and the labor shortage resolves. Expect big price increases regardless.

I know a guy who got 2 -1 trip extra tall containers and did the roof over them for center parking.sprayed them to match house color .   Pretty sweet really and rodent proof . I was doing the math in my head when he was showing me his set up and it was pretty close to a equal size post frame with class 5 floor . That said he is a welder and has tools and ability to put the doors and windows and such in to a container
