San Antonio is an inland South Texas market with no seaport — supply is supplied from Houston, about 200 miles east, with Dallas-Fort Worth as a second source, per a Texas container index published in October 2026. Western Container Sales' San Antonio SKUs are HOU (Houston), confirming where its stock sits. That haul keeps San Antonio delivered prices in the middle-to-upper part of the national range: Western listed San Antonio buy-from prices in fall 2026 at $2,614 for a 20ft, $3,014 for a 40ft and $3,052 for a 40ft high cube, while Houston depot listings in the same October index started at $1,045 for a used 20ft Cargo Worthy box before delivery and tax — compare delivered quotes, not depot prices.
Delivery in San Antonio
Most San Antonio deliveries are tilt-bed drops that need a long, straight, level run — 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 — concrete, asphalt, compacted gravel or blocking under the corners. South Texas specifics matter: caliche and clay soils, low spots that hold water after heavy rain, and extreme summer heat inside a sealed steel box — ventilation or a light, reflective color helps — and good door seals matter in humid Gulf air moving inland. Confirm the exact spot and door direction before delivery day, because moving a set container takes another truck. Check City of San Antonio, Bexar County and any HOA rules before you order, especially for a long-term or permanent placement.
