Can you deliver to the Keys?

Yes. Monroe County deliveries go through our Key Largo partner and typically add 2–4 business days to the schedule.

Do I need a permit to drop a container in my Miami-Dade backyard?

It depends on the municipality and whether the placement is temporary or permanent. Unincorporated Miami-Dade is typically the most permissive. We send a municipality-specific permit note with every quote.

What's the hurricane-rated option?

Corten-steel shipping containers are inherently storm-hardy, but permanent installations in Miami-Dade typically require a concrete pad plus ground anchors rated to 170mph — we'll include the anchor-plan PDF with every Miami quote.

Do prices change during hurricane season?

Delivery cost can tick up in peak Aug–Oct hurricane season due to port congestion, but container prices themselves tend to be stable year-round in Miami.

Miami-area ZIPs, Florida and surrounding counties

Miami is one of the easiest markets in the country for container delivery. The port sees more steel boxes in a week than most cities see in a year, depot density is high across Medley, Hialeah, and Miami-Dade, and most yards keep fresh one-trip inventory within a day's reach of the major US east-coast shipping lanes.

If you're buying in the 33101–33199 ZIP range, you can typically take delivery within 3–5 business days of confirmation. Weekend delivery is available for an add-on fee.

Popular sizes in Miami

The Miami market skews toward two configurations:

20ft Used (WWT) — by far the most common buy for residential storage, small business yards, and backyard workshops. $2,800–$3,400 delivered for most Miami-Dade ZIPs.
40ft High-Cube One-Trip — the go-to for container homes, ADUs, and branded retail buildouts. The Miami one-trip supply is deep because South Florida is a primary east-coast container intake port.

Typical delivery windows

Miami-Dade (33101–33199): 3–5 business days
Broward (33301–33351): 3–6 business days
Palm Beach (33401–33499): 4–7 business days
Monroe / Keys: 5–10 business days (barge scheduling)

Site prep for Miami

Hurricane code matters here. If the container is permanent, most Miami-Dade municipalities will require ground anchors or a concrete pad rated to 170mph wind loads. For temporary or mobile use (construction staging, pop-up retail, event use) this requirement typically doesn't apply.

We include a South-Florida-specific site-prep PDF with every Miami quote.

Permits

Permit requirements in Miami-Dade vary dramatically by municipality. Unincorporated Miami-Dade, Hialeah, and Medley are typically the most permissive for on-site container storage. Miami Beach, Coral Gables, and Pinecrest have more restrictive rules. Your Miami quote includes a municipality-specific permit note when applicable.
