I'd like to buy one in ph, as I am tired of the beat up ones that are a forever rust nightmare.... Where can they be found in ph, if at all? MNL only? In CEBu? Or would one need to find perhaps a Freight Consolidator familiar with them, and capable to discover one coming from China and be able to connect that unit with a ready buyer? And allowing for plenty of time? Or perhaps they are piling up in Western countries, and perhaps one could get it via someone immigrating to ph, along with an imported container? I only find big international suppliers online, and they don't bother with individual buyers. Online containers already in ph seem all beat ups! Any advice? Tks Christian
Many here have shipped about everything at one time or another. Perhaps let us know what you want to ship and you may find there are numerous options and or avenues. Ways around things vs experiences etc. If you are bound for that specific container......I can assure you, there are online companies that will ship the one order. Dig deeper! Best regards.

The discussion has remained on topic. So........go to this page on Facebook and communicate with them. Best of luck. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/manila/shipping-containers/
You could go direct from China. Avoids getting something that has been used for toxic waste and is rusty. In 2015 I ran a project that used 40 foot containers for Anechoic Cellular testing and had three customised containers shipped to Manila. These had double doors at both ends, partitioned three sections internally (generator AC compressor section, computer room and test chamber), one sea worthy side door (single same as normal container doors front and back). Price screen shot below with shipping handling fee. At a guess a standard 20 footer, new might be cheaper than you think and they may have contacts that could stuff it with goods to minimise the shipping costs. I have contact details if you want them.

UPDATE: For a year or so I've been in touch with some small outfit that imports tons of one tripper containers to ph, and they are AFFORDABLE. Look up for "Breton containers", including FB and UTub, apparently. For someone who wants a LASTING container for storage, a workshop, a bungalow etc, the extra cost is quite worth it. I know: have owned several cheapos for years and can't stand the extensive rusting. Haven't dealt with Breton yet but plan to buy one or 2 soon in Panabo/DVO. I think they also have intermittent stock in CEB n MNL. Christian
