Looking for shipping containers for sale in Nanaimo, BC? Conway sells the full 20ft range — Standard, High Cube and Open Side, in used and new (one-trip) grades — to buyers right across the Harbour City, from the waterfront and Old City Quarter out to Departure Bay, Hammond Bay, North Nanaimo and the trades yards around the Wellington and Northfield corridor. Used 20ft units start at $2,400 CAD and new (one-trip) from $3,300 CAD.
Containers earn their keep in Nanaimo: secure marine and dive-gear storage near the harbour, equipment lock-ups for Island contractors, dry feed and tool storage on Cedar and Cassidy acreage, and overflow stock for small businesses. We hold our stock in Metro Vancouver and bring your unit across the Strait of Georgia by ferry, so Island delivery is a Custom quote with a longer lead time than a mainland drop. There is no Conway yard or office in Nanaimo — every unit is viewed at our Richmond yard.

Why buy from Conway
- Real CAD pricing on real stock. The 20ft range is on the ground now — used from $2,400 and new (one-trip) from $3,300 — so you're quoted an actual unit, not a teaser. Browse the full catalog.
- Island delivery handled end to end. We arrange the ferry crossing and the tilt-deck drop in Nanaimo as one Custom quote — a crane can be added for tight or sloped lots. See how delivery works.
- Certified, honestly graded. Every container is CSC, ACEP and IICL inspected, and used units are graded straight as wind-and-water-tight or cargo-worthy — important when it's living near the salt air.
- Built for Island sites and the ALR. Containers suit Cedar, Cassidy and rural Nanaimo acreage; confirm placement with the City of Nanaimo or Regional District of Nanaimo first using our BC permits and ALR guide.
FAQ
Common questions
- Do you deliver shipping containers to Nanaimo?
- Yes, but it's a custom quote rather than a fixed rate. Our stock is held in Metro Vancouver, and Nanaimo delivery means a ferry crossing to Vancouver Island plus the tilt-deck drop on your site — so it's a long-haul job with a longer lead time. Send your address and we'll price the full delivered cost.
- How much does a shipping container cost in Nanaimo?
- The container itself is the same honest CAD pricing as anywhere in BC — used 20ft from $2,400 and new (one-trip) 20ft from $3,300. Island delivery is quoted separately because it involves the ferry crossing, so ask us for a firm delivered total.
- Can I see the container before it ships to Nanaimo?
- Yes. All viewings are by appointment at our Richmond yard, Mon-Fri 09:00-18:00 — there's no Conway yard in Nanaimo. You can inspect your exact unit and its grading in person before it crosses to the Island, or call +1 (778) 900-1772 and we'll walk you through the options.
- How long does delivery to Nanaimo take, and do I need a permit?
- Because the unit travels by ferry, lead times run longer than a mainland drop — we confirm timing with your quote. For placement, rules vary by lot and use, so check with the City of Nanaimo or the Regional District of Nanaimo (and our BC permits and ALR guide) before delivery day.
