HI. Does anybody know where to buy a container and also about a storage space in Buenos Aires. I would greatly appreciate help with those items. Thank you! | ||

Hi Mrspicci, what type of container? I am not familiar with storage space companies in BA... Not sure if there any at all. | ||

HI Roberto: I am looking for a large container to ship dry goods (e.g. furntiture) back to the USA. I would need to rent a space for the goods until it fills up the container. Any thoughts? Thank you. | ||

I think you don't need to buy a container... Once you have everything you want to ship back contact a "despachante de aduana" so that he makes all shipping arrangements. He will book space in a vessel and hire the stevedores who will organize your items inside a container. You will very likely use a "consolidated" one where you will share space with someone else. Stevedores will know how to load your items, they will not mix your furniture with goods that may be in conflict. I would not know where to store this but a good idea will be to look for "industrial warehouses" in the yellow pages. | ||

Same question. Where can I buy a 40' container in Mendoza or B.A? | ||

More than likely you will need to contact a carrier/shipping company as they handle the 20's and 40's. Are you sure you need to buy one? What will you do with it after using it? | ||

I need to buy one since i am shipping ALL my belongings over but I have no house to keep everything yet (new build required). I'll keep it for storage if it is good enough. | ||

Depending on how long ports have the ability to store containers for some time, cheaply. Have you discussed the options with local despachantes? As for buying one, I am afraid I can't help... | ||
