Frequently Asked Questions

We sell new (one-trip) and used shipping containers in sizes from 8ft to 40ft, plus custom-modified containers for storage, offices, workshops and pop-up shops.

One-Trip containers are manufactured overseas and used once to carry cargo before being sold, so they arrive in near-new condition. Wind & Watertight units are used containers that are structurally sound with no leaks, though they show signs of wear. Every listing states the grade so you know what you are buying.

Yes. Shipping is free on all orders delivered within the United States, with no extra charge based on container size or location. The only exceptions are cancellations after dispatch and refused deliveries, described in our Refund & Returns Policy.

We use tilt-bed, flatbed, side-loader or crane-assisted delivery and confirm the method with you before dispatch. Your site needs a firm, level, well-drained surface, at least 14ft of vertical clearance, and straight-line clearance of 60ft for a 20ft container or 100ft for a 40ft container. Flatbed deliveries require your own unloading equipment. See our Shipping Policy for details.

Have an authorized person present at delivery. Inspect the container for structural integrity, door operation and transit damage, and note any issue on the Bill of Lading before the driver leaves.

You have 30 days from delivery to report defects or request an eligible return. Defective or incorrectly supplied units are corrected, replaced or fully refunded at no cost to you. Change-of-mind returns are accepted in original, unmodified condition, subject to a 17% restocking fee and customer-paid return freight. Read the full Refund & Returns Policy.
