How BoxPort Works

BoxPort connects container sellers with buyers across the US. Every transaction is protected by escrow — funds don't move until both sides are satisfied.

For Sellers

List for free, negotiate on your terms, and get paid securely.

Step 1

Create a Free Listing

Upload photos, set your asking price, add the container's condition and specs. Listings are always free — no upfront cost.

Step 2

Receive Offers & Inquiries

Buyers can message you, make offers, or buy instantly. Accept, decline, or counter-offer. You're in control.

Step 3

Secure Escrow Payout

Once a buyer completes payment, funds are held in escrow. When they confirm receipt, BoxPort releases your payout minus the 4.9% fee.

For Buyers

Browse thousands of containers, negotiate the price, and pay with full escrow protection.

Step 1

Browse & Filter

Search by container type (20ft, 40ft, reefer, etc.), condition, price range, and location. No account needed to browse.

Step 2

Make an Offer or Buy Now

Submit an offer to negotiate, or hit Buy Now for immediate checkout. Sellers can counter-offer — you'll be notified each round.

Step 3

Pay Securely, Confirm Receipt

Pay via Stripe — your funds are held in escrow until you confirm the container arrived as described. If not, raise a dispute.

The Escrow Flow

Your money is protected at every stage. Funds only move when both parties are satisfied.

Dispute Protection

If the container doesn't match the listing, raise a dispute within 72 hours of delivery. Funds stay in escrow while BoxPort reviews your case.

Transparent Fees — No Surprises

BoxPort charges a flat 4.9% platform fee on completed sales only. Listings, offers, and inquiries are always free.

Example: $5,000 sale → seller receives $4,755 · BoxPort fee: $245

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free to list?

Yes. Creating a listing costs nothing. BoxPort only earns a 4.9% fee when a sale is completed — never on listings, offers, or inquiries.

What if the container doesn't match the description?

Open a dispute within 72 hours of confirming receipt. BoxPort's team reviews evidence from both parties and resolves the case fairly. Funds remain in escrow until the dispute is settled.

How long does the seller have to wait for payment?

Once the buyer confirms receipt, the escrow is released and the payout typically arrives in the seller's bank within 1–2 business days via Stripe Connect.

What if the buyer never confirms receipt?

If the buyer hasn't confirmed or raised a dispute within 7 days of the expected delivery date, BoxPort auto-releases the funds to the seller.

Do I need a Stripe account to sell?

Yes. Sellers connect a Stripe account through the dashboard — it takes about 5 minutes. BoxPort uses Stripe Connect to route payouts directly to you.

Can I sell without an account?

Sellers need an account to manage listings and receive payouts. Buyers can browse without an account but need one to complete a purchase.
