Compare the complete outcome, not the lowest box price
Start with the same intended use, quantity, container condition and final site. Specify the delivery service you need, including unloading and placement. A lower-priced shell may need repairs or extra handling before it provides the storage you are buying.
For alternative purchases, sellers can dispatch from different locations. Enter the transport amount from each actual offer; compare delivery to the same final site with the same service. If you are comparing two quotes to move a container you already own, select that transaction and use the same pickup and destination references.
Read the seller quote and project total separately
The itemized seller-quote total includes the entered container or base service, transport, unloading, taxes, fees and work in that quote. The base acquisition or project total adds required work you arrange separately. An unknown required amount prevents a complete total; the known-items subtotal is only part of the budget.
Choose Included when one entered quote amount already covers another line. Identify the line that includes it. Choose Not required only when that charge is unnecessary for the offer and your agreed scope. If you enter the written quote total as a cross-check, the tool compares it with the itemized quote total without adding it again.
Conditional charges stay beside the base total. Apply a charge only to a stated shared scenario, using the full amount for that scenario. An applied charge with an unknown amount prevents a complete scenario total. An unapplied charge remains visible for your review.
Check the offer before relying on its rank
Confirm the quote date and validity, actual-unit or allocation terms, and suitability for the stated use. Differences in size, condition, quantity, currency, final site or placement service exclude an offer from the shared comparison. No currency conversion is performed.
An expired quote or unresolved supplier-identity concern also stays out of the ranking. A complete total is still your entered calculation; it does not verify a seller, reserve a unit or establish the lowest price in the market. Check supplier identity, current unit photos and written payment, acceptance and cancellation terms before paying.
Buying questions
Can an offer with an unknown delivery amount be the cheapest?
It cannot win the complete-total comparison while that required amount is unknown. The tool shows the known entered items, identifies unresolved amounts and leaves the complete total unranked.
Does delivery that includes unloading get counted twice?
No. Mark unloading as Included and identify Transport as the including line. When that transport amount is known, the tool records the inclusion without adding another unloading charge.
Are my entered quotes sent to suppliers?
