Shipping containers for sale in Purvis: what you can buy
Shipping containers for sale in Purvis are the same boxes we deliver across the Pine Belt — a 20ft or a 40ft, standard height or high cube, used or one-trip. Most people in Lamar County just call it a conex box. The buyers here are a mix: families in the newer subdivisions between Purvis and Oak Grove who want a storage building, and people on acreage toward Baxterville and Lumberton who want a feed room, an equipment box or a lockable spot at the hunting camp.
Used wind and watertight is the plain-storage grade: no holes, doors that seal, dents and surface rust included. Behind a barn or at the back of a few acres it is the right buy — see the 20ft used WWT. One-trip is near-new and worth it when the box sits in sight of the street or will become a shop; see the 40ft high cube one-trip. One-trip vs used explains what each grade actually promises.
How a delivered container is priced to Purvis
Containers for Lamar County come off depots in New Orleans and Mobile, and the delivery leg is priced on road miles from whichever one holds the box you pick. That is why we show one delivered number for your ZIP instead of a box price now and a truck price later. Put 39475 on the containers page and the price updates from the daily supplier feed; the Purvis page shows the same delivered prices with the depot distances.
Not included: a gravel pad or corner blocks, a permit if your lot needs one, and a failed drop. Your card is authorized, not charged, until we confirm the order and the delivery window with you, and delivery is typically within a week or two after that.
If the box is for a few months on a site you do not control, a local rental yard is honestly the better answer. Buying makes sense when you will still want the container next year — and on a farm or a camp, most people do. The farm feed room and hunting camp box packages pair a container with the vents, lock and shelving brackets at one delivered price; the kits ship separately and you bolt them on yourself.
Before you buy a container in Purvis
Read the covenants first if you live in a subdivision. A lot of Lamar County's growth is new subdivisions with a homeowners association, and many of those covenants restrict detached structures. Older Purvis lots and county acreage are usually simpler.
Then make one call. Rules for a container kept on a residential lot differ town to town. Inside Purvis city limits, ask City Hall how a permanent shipping container is treated; outside them, call Lamar County Planning & Development and ask about setbacks for your parcel. The Purvis page has both numbers, and storage container permits covers what to ask.
Measure the run. A tilt-bed needs about 60 feet of straight, firm, level ground for a 20ft and about 100 feet for a 40ft, plus 14 feet of clear sky — pine limbs over a long gravel drive are the usual problem out in the county. A pasture that looks firm can still be soft for days after a Gulf rain, and a truck that sinks cannot set the box; a failed drop is billable. See delivery access, and plan a lock box and vents from the accessories page. Buying closer to town? See shipping containers for sale in Hattiesburg. See containers for sale — delivered price by ZIP
