Ordering & Payment

How do I buy a container online?+

Browse the shop, choose a unit, and check out directly — no quote call required for standard orders. Delivery cost is calculated automatically based on your zip code before you pay.

What payment methods do you accept?+

Major credit and debit cards through our secure checkout. ACH and wire transfer are available for bulk orders — see our Payment Policy for details.

Is sales tax included in the listed price?+

Listed prices exclude tax. Applicable sales tax is calculated at checkout based on your delivery address — see our Sales Tax Policy for details, including tax-exempt purchases.

Can I order more than one container at once?+

Yes. For multi-unit or bulk orders, request a quote so we can coordinate pricing and delivery scheduling across all units.

Shipping & Delivery

How is my container delivered?+

Most containers are delivered by tilt-bed (roll-off) truck. Crane or chassis-drop delivery may be available in some areas — see our Shipping Policy for what each method requires on your end.

What does my delivery site need to be ready for drop-off?+

A flat, stable, accessible surface, plus clearance for a tractor-trailer and, for tilt-bed delivery, room behind the drop point. Full details are in our Buyer's Guide site checklist.

How long does delivery take?+

In-stock units typically ship within a few business days of payment; exact timing depends on carrier availability and your location. Your order confirmation will include an estimated window.

Do I need to be present for delivery?+

Someone authorized to accept delivery should be present or reachable, since the delivery receipt needs to be signed and any damage noted at that time.

Container Condition & Returns

What's the difference between grades of used containers?+

Cargo Worthy units are certified for active freight use with less cosmetic wear; Wind & Water Tight units are sealed and usable but show more visible wear. Full definitions are in our Buyer's Guide.

What if my container arrives damaged?+

Note any damage on the carrier's delivery paperwork before signing, then contact us with photos within the window stated in our Refund & Returns Policy so we can file a claim.

Can I return a container after delivery?+

Because of return freight costs, returns after delivery are limited to units that are materially different from their listing. See our Refund & Returns Policy for eligibility and how to request one.

Can I cancel my order before it ships?+

Yes — orders cancelled before dispatch are eligible for a full refund. Once a unit ships, standard return terms apply.

Account & Business Orders

Do you sell to businesses in bulk?+

Yes — for multi-unit or recurring orders, request a bulk quote and we'll coordinate pricing, invoicing, and delivery scheduling directly.

Can I use a resale or tax-exemption certificate?+

Yes — submit a valid certificate for your state before ordering, as described in our Sales Tax Policy, and we'll apply the exemption to your order.

How do I contact support?+

Use the Contact page, or email [SUPPORT EMAIL] directly — we typically respond within one business day.
