Innovators in the Intermodal Industry

A brief history of the shipping container industry

Our goal has always been to build a transparent marketplace that streamlines and improves the entire shipping container industry. Before Shipped.com arrived, the container industry was antiquated, inefficient and down-right cumbersome for consumers! To do price comparison shopping, buyers had to manually request quotes from as many sellers as they could find. Quotes were painstakingly sent via email, fax and/or phone calls. Buyers ended up spending hours, even days just to figure what the "market price" was for containers. In addition to all the wasted time, buyers had to deal with sellers they had never done business with, potentially exposing themselves to fraud. In short, the industry had big problems along with no safety net, no way to guarantee a successful transaction. So on that note we started creating something great, a totally new and completely different buying experience. We now present to you, the Shipped.com Marketplace, where buying a container is faster, easier, more secure and less expensive than ever before. We sincerely hope that you love your experience here!
