How to buy containers for savings?
Thanks to advanced features such as flexible movement, quick time, diverse capacity and safe storage of goods, containers are increasingly used in production, construction, transportation and increasingly reasonable prices in Vietnam. Thanks to that,, more and more customers looking to buy and sell container. They buy containers to make warehouses; office, houses for employees or cold storage for goods preservation.
Buying dry containers is a common activity. Containers are made of high-strength corten steel, painted beautifully with anti-rust, the marine environment is suitable as a port warehouse and is highly stacked. Using container containers as warehouses will save time and costs for renting space, building warehouses, saving loading and unloading time and can easily track the amount of inventory because on the surface of the container are barcode display codes are very specific and detailed.
Buy containers for offices, houses, container cafes, containers according to design: In addition to making a warehouse, containers are also designed and constructed into container houses and offices with very unique and fancy architecture. These mobile offices have all the functions of a modern office such as air conditioning system against extreme weather, electrical equipment connected to working tools such as computers, photocopiers, printers. Using containers as houses and offices is environmentally friendly due to its ability to relocate and reuse many times. In particular, it is more cost effective than the construction of houses and offices.
For example: The cost to build a complete container house with an area of about 30m2 is about VND 120 million. Meanwhile, the cost of concrete construction for the same area is at least 1.5 times (labor, materials, manicure costs ...). In addition, the construction time of container houses is also fast, only 10% compared to the construction of anapartment with the same area.
Buying containers for cold storage:For goods that need to be stored at low temperatures such as fresh goods, seafood, fish, meat ... the refrigerated container is a great solution. Using refrigerated containers as a warehouse not only makes it easy to transport goods away from damage but also saves costs as customers can choose the right container size to use.
Should buy old or new containers?
Depending on the conditions and purposes of use, customers can choose old or new containers. The new container is of very good quality but the price is too high. You can see a 100% new standard 100-foot container can cost anywhere from $ 7,000 to $ 8,000 (FOB),This is a great amount if we need to order, but if you use old quality containers about 70% to 80%, customers can save a large cost (only need to spend about 30% of the value of the new purchase), and also ensure the quality of international shipping. Thus, for small and medium enterprises or If an enterprise has little or no need to buy new containers, it is better to buy old containers.
The note when buy old container
- Check the cont shell to make sure no damage, holes, distortion distortion, rust much. Especially pay attention to the roof and the corner assembly because these details customers often do not notice. If the roof of the container is leaky, the goods inside will be damaged. Besides, if the roof is dimmed, there will be stagnant water on the roof and over time the old container will be damaged faster.
- Check the surface of the wooden floor to make sure it's original. No scratches, cracks, warping or puncturing. If it is a container carrying hazardous goods or iron, the floor will have patches of smudges and an unpleasant smell. Customers should avoid buying such containers as they will quickly wear out.
- Check the specifications. These parameters are recorded directly on the door of the container or cargo papers. Include: size, type, weight, ...
