I could use two, but one would be enough. Now if I can

figure
out where to put it first. At least I don't have to clear stuff

first. Yet.

I could use at least one 20' container myself, possibly two. Not
sure
about the feasibility of a group buy however since they are pretty
cheap
to begin with and the shipping expense is the issue.

Would shipping a stack of two be significantly more expensive than
shipping one?

Thanks,

Transportation height limitations would keep you from transporting
two.
Although, they do move houses and tall things. It's just that the
cost
becomes prohibitive. So, whatever it costs to have two sent at the
same
time, that's what it costs. Perhaps they could put them on two
separate
trailers with one tractor. (Diesel powered pulling rig) But I don't
know
about how they offload, and if companies would do that, or have to
send
out
two separate trucks. Maybe a flatbed with a trailer ...........

Class?

Class?

They double stack them by rail... Of course not many of us have our own
rail sidings

Two 20' containers would readily fit on the usual 45'+ tilt bed
trailers
they normally use to deliver containers to ground level sites actually.

Remember the 13'6" federal height limits. IIRC, that is what it is on
most
overpasses.

Um, two 20' containers will fit end to end on said 45'+ flatbed.

Sorry. Thought I heard mention of STACKING them.

Never mind.
