 ???

I have been asked to surplus a very very very large number of air cargo contains for the US Postal Service.  They are 10ft wide x 8ft deep, 7ft tall.  Very sturdy fiberglass, mounted on 3/16" Aum plate.  Two full size, double walled fiberglass doors.  Water tight.  They weight about 600lbs.  Super sturdy.

So guys, will these work?  Can you please email me any input.  I got about 4,000 of these to deal with located all over the country.  Also, they make the best storage shed I have ever seen.  Cost the government over $3,000 each but must sell fast.

Email me at [email protected] if you have any interest or post back to this board.  I have pictures I can email.

Thanks...Steve

Yes, I agree about the runners.  The alum plate on the bottom is flat to the ground.  I think we are goingto start them at $200 buck and move the price up as they get popular and we create demand.  Might end up doing large ad in USA today. 

I will email some photos.  What are the large airports near you?

FWIW folks, the original post is almost 11 months old, so I wouldn't hold your breath waiting on a response.

A friend contacted this guy about the containers last winter. He never was able to get one and he wanted three.

I looked into them in the fall and you have to pay for them before picking them up.There is no delivery.But after paying for them we were told pickup was Monday thru Friday 9.00am -3.00pm which would not work for me,so they refunded my money.Plus the closest place to get them was hartford ct.At the time I looked into them there was not many left and they were making good deals on them.
