Google is worthless, just AI written articles.

From the west coast of the USA I want to send a full 40ft shipping container to another continent. I don't even know where to get started on this.

What company do I use?
Estimate on how much will it cost? $5000 $10,000?
Once it arrives at the foreign port how do I get it to the final destination city?
Do I get to keep the container at the destination? Or do they just dump my stuff out?

"New" "Cargo Worthy" or CW

Thanks for the posts, very informative.

How much would either of these cost to buy? Once the container is delivered, I would like to keep it as a storage shed.

The container is probably going from Oakland, California to the port of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. My brother-in-law said the company he uses is $9,000 to ship, not sure if that includes the container or just renting the container.

Since I don't have a yard that can fit a 40ft container, looks like I need to find a middle-man. I will be moving most everything I own.

Price for a container "The container can range from $1,300 to $6,700 for 20 ft. and $1500 to $7000 for a 40 ft."... that's a pretty big range.
I guess I could get away with just a 20ft container.
