Why Use a Shipping Container?
Storage Containers can be essential for businesses to store their expensive equipment in a safe and secure way on construction sites. They are great for the common auto repair shop to store tires and equipment. Additionally, they are a perfect temporary and permanent solution for a retail store’s overflow of inventory. We can go on about all of the use cases that Ark’s Storage Containers have in the marketplace. A major challenge for businesses and residences is deciding whether they should rent/lease or buy a Conex box.The answer to this question changes very often as market prices continuously fluctuate.
During the past two years, we have seen the price of containers jump to astronomical levels. Shipping Container prices and Freight prices have nearly doubled and in some cases even tripled from 2019 prices. The reason for this being that material prices have skyrocketed, gas and oil prices have gone up dramatically, there are tariffs placed on numerous countries, demand for products are high, the housing market is as hot as 2007, there was a ton of capital printed for stimulus payments causing inflation, and of course, last but not least, the novel virus, Covid-19. Covid-19 has changed the dynamic of marketplace in ways never seen before.
