Please note that shipping costs fluctuate heavily based on seasonality, market conditions, fuel surcharges, and current geopolitical events. The costs provided are rough estimates based on recent mid-range spot market rates. (Shipping to San Diego usually involves porting in Los Angeles/Long Beach and then drayage/trucking down to San Diego).

*Disclaimer: Container dimensions and weight capacities can vary slightly depending on the exact manufacturer. Shipping costs are highly volatile estimates based on typical spot rates (including ocean freight and destination drayage where applicable) and do not include customs duties, taxes, or specialized insurance. Always consult a freight forwarder for exact quoting.

### A few notes on the data:
* **Dimensions:** Decimal format is used exactly as requested (e.g., 8 feet 10 inches is approximated to 8.85 feet).
* **Payload capacity:** High cube 40' containers often hold slightly *less* actual max payload weight than standard 40' containers because the physical container itself (tare weight) is heavier due to the extra steel for the height, while the absolute gross weight limit for the crane/ship is the same.
* **Cost Efficiency:** As the math shows, the **40' High Cube** is generally the most cost-efficient container per cubic foot of volume for both routes. Prices for 40' Standard and 40' High Cube ocean freight are almost identical, but the High Cube gives you roughly 300 extra cubic feet.
