Austin is a landlocked Central Texas market with no seaport โ€” supply is supplied mainly from Houston, about 165 to 180 miles southeast, with Dallas-Fort Worth as a second source. Eveon states Austin is served from its Houston depot roughly 180 miles away, and Western Container Sales' Austin SKUs are HOU (Houston). That long haul keeps Austin delivered prices in the middle-to-upper part of the national range: a Texas price index in October 2026 started Houston depot listings at $1,045 for a used 20ft Cargo Worthy box, but delivery at 100 to 200 miles typically adds $800 to $1,600 โ€” Western listed Austin delivered examples at $2,409 for a used 20ft Wind & Watertight and $2,809 to $2,847 for 40ft units, while Eveon listed container-only prices at $1,099 for a 20ft, $1,499 for a 40ft and $1,599 for a 40ft high cube before delivery.

Delivery Notes for Austin

Most Austin deliveries are tilt-bed drops that need a long, straight, level run โ€” about 80 to 100 ft for a 20ft and about 120 ft for a 40ft, plus 12 to 14 ft of width and 14 to 16 ft of overhead clearance. Set the box on level, firm ground โ€” concrete, asphalt, compacted gravel or blocking under the corners. Central Texas specifics matter: limestone and clay soils, Hill Country grades and tight rural driveways west of the city can defeat a tilt-bed, and extreme summer heat builds inside a sealed steel box, so ventilation or a light color is worth planning. Confirm the exact spot and door direction before delivery day. Check City of Austin, Travis County and any HOA rules before you order, especially for a long-term or permanent placement or a container home / ADU conversion, which goes through building permitting.
