I have been using sea containers for many years and the best place to find them is to purchase the heavy truck Trader. There is always someone selling them. I bought mine from a Toronto company but pick the containers up in Montreal. the average price for a 20ft container will go from $2200 to $2700, the 40 ft containers are cheaper. Also try and purchase a Hi-cube it is 11/2 ft higher.
The biggest thing is the shipping, to bring a container from Montreal was $800 for one 40 footer or 2 x 20 ft. If you have a 20 ft flat decker trailer get the container yourself, they 20 ft weight about 4500 lbs empty, it is well worth you while to rent a trailer and getting it yourself.
Also one critical thing you should check or when ordering is that the container not have any strong odors, over the years things spill and the container has a terrible smell inside. Once the smell gets inside it is very hard to remove.
I have 2 x footers and when I build my new garage they will be incorporated into the exterior walls and they will hold my spare parts.
