Container Conditions
We generally source Wind and Water Tight (WWT) Containers, which have been used on cargo ships, so they are strong and sturdy, and show signs of use like dings and dents and may have some paint chips. If none of the cosmetic stuff matters to you, then you get it at a great price and it can be safely used for storage of your contents. A step up in condition from that is the Cargo Worthy Container (CWO), which is CSC certified for Ocean-Vessel Shipment. Above that is the One-Trip Container, which is nearly new with maybe a dent or two. The higher the condition, the higher the price, so if you just need a container for storage, Wind and Water Tight (WWT) is the cheapest.
