Shipping Containers

I have a silly idea, but I need one of those big corrugated metal boxes they stack onto boats at the docks.

Trouble is, I see them every day, and I have no idea where they come from. Google has been zero help. I live in a fairly busy port city, so there’s gotta be spares once in a while.

Any clues about where to go to get a used bulk goods box? Or better keywords I could use to execute the search myself?

They’re metal shipping cargo containers (if you search for ‘box” you won’t get what you’re looking for), and they run anywhere from $1, 000 to $3, 000.

Here’s a site for one supplier to get you rolling: http://www.alibaba.com/product/dsdcontainer-11160601-10792071/20_40_Metal_Shipping_cargo_Containers.html
