Shipping & Storage Containers
in Dayton.

Q: Do you deliver shipping containers to Dayton, Ohio?

Yes. We deliver to Montgomery County, Greene County, Miami County, Clark County, Preble County and surrounding areas. Delivered via I-75, I-70, and I-675 to the Miami Valley.

Delivered price

What a container costs in Dayton.

$1,940 delivered to 45404 for a 20ft
$2,300 delivered to 45404 for a 40ft standard
$2,300 delivered to 45404 for a 40ft high cube

That is the container and the delivery together, with nothing added later. These prices have been in effect since September 3.

Your ZIP will be different from the one we price from, and delivery distance is most of what moves the number, so call and we will run yours.

Would you rather pick it up yourself?

If you would rather collect it yourself, we can do that. Pickup is priced differently from delivery and it is not the delivery fee taken back off, so here are both numbers side by side.

20ft $1,940 delivered, or $1,340 collected from a yard about 45 miles out.
40ft standard $2,300 delivered, or $1,750 collected from a yard about 45 miles out.
40ft high cube $2,300 delivered, or $1,700 collected from a yard about 45 miles out.

Which sizes are sitting at a nearby yard changes week to week, and the closest yard for one size is not always the closest yard for another. Call and we will check what is there and tell you where it is before you commit to the drive.

Renting vs owning

Do you rent portable storage containers in Dayton?

No. Steel Box Direct does not rent portable storage. We sell used Wind and Water Tight shipping containers, delivered to your property in Dayton, and we offer rent-to-own on fixed terms that end in ownership. A rented pod fits a move; an owned container fits storage that stays on your property. Our portable storage guide compares the two honestly.
