Four guarantees for Vermont buyers
Walk our lot at 321 Route 10, Piermont and choose the container you want, or we send photos and video of your specific unit before it leaves the yard. No representative photos, no bait-and-switch.
We confirm the drop spot with you before delivery day. If we can't set the container where we agreed, for whatever reason, you owe nothing that day — and we'll attempt re-delivery for free if it makes sense.
Plans change. Sell the container back to us for 80% of the container's purchase price — the container only, not tax or delivery — any time in your first 12 months.
Wind & Watertight units carry a 5-year warranty, Cargo Worthy 10 years, and one-trip containers 30 years — in writing, on every sale. On a used unit that means watertight with a solid floor: no leaks, no rodents, and a floor that holds up to normal use for the warranty term.

Vermont container questions
How much is a shipping container in Vermont?
A used 20ft wind-and-watertight container runs $2,500 and a used 40ft runs $3,300. One-trip units — containers that have made a single voyage and look essentially new — start at $3,800 for a 20ft and $5,300 for a 40ft high cube. Delivery is quoted separately, starting at a flat $100 inside our 20-mile zone.
Do you deliver shipping containers into Vermont?
Yes, constantly. Our yard is on Route 10 in Piermont, NH, directly across the Connecticut River from Bradford, VT — most of our Vermont deliveries are shorter runs than our New Hampshire ones. We cover Orange County, Caledonia County and the Upper Valley side of Windsor County. Within 20 miles of Piermont delivery is a flat rate — $100 for a 20' container, $150 for a 40'. Beyond that every delivery is quoted by distance and container size; the delivery price table above shows the approximate range, and the instant quote tool gives you an exact number.
Can I rent instead of buying?
Yes. Rentals start at $75 a month for a used 20ft and $140 for a used 40ft, with a three-month minimum. We also offer no-credit-check rent-to-own if you'd rather work toward owning the container outright.
Do I need a permit for a shipping container in Vermont?
It depends on your town's zoning — Vermont has no blanket statewide rule for placing a storage container on private property, but individual towns set their own requirements and some are stricter than their neighbours. Most residential storage placements need nothing, but check with your town clerk or zoning administrator before delivery day.
Will a container hold up through a Vermont winter?
Yes — they're built to cross oceans on deck. The practical winter considerations are placement and condensation: leave room to swing the doors clear of where snow piles up, and ventilate if you're storing anything moisture-sensitive. We'll talk through placement before we drop it.
What if I don't need the container anymore?
We buy it back for 80% of the container's purchase price — the container only, not tax or delivery — within your first 12 months. It's the reason a lot of Vermont customers buy rather than rent for a project with an uncertain end date — worst case, you've paid roughly 20% for however long you had it.
