Question 1

How much does delivery cost?

Accepted Answer

Delivery is quoted by ZIP code from your nearest depot. Most deliveries within 50 miles of a depot cost between $250.00 and $450.00.

Question 2

Do I pay online?

Accepted Answer

No. You send an order request and a sales rep calls to confirm availability, delivery and payment options.

Question 3

What's the difference between one-trip and used?

Accepted Answer

One-trip containers have made a single voyage and look nearly new. Used containers are cargo-worthy or wind & watertight, with cosmetic wear.

Question 4

What does cargo-worthy mean?

Accepted Answer

Cargo-worthy describes a used container assessed as structurally suitable for cargo transport. It may have dents, repairs, and worn paint. If you plan to ship goods overseas, ask about a current survey and the certification required by your carrier. A condition label alone does not guarantee export approval.

Question 5

What does wind and watertight mean?

Accepted Answer

Wind and watertight, often shortened to WWT, describes a container intended to keep wind and rain out when its doors are closed. It can be a practical option for stationary storage, but it is not the same as certification for cargo transport. Ask about the condition of the roof, floor, doors, and seals on the specific unit.

Question 6

Should I choose a standard or high-cube container?

Accepted Answer

A high-cube container is typically one foot taller than a standard container: 9 feet 6 inches externally rather than 8 feet 6 inches. That extra height can help with tall equipment or a modified workspace. Check the specific unit's interior dimensions and door opening, as insulation, flooring, and other modifications reduce usable space.

Question 7

How much space do I need for delivery?

Accepted Answer

Plan for about 100 feet of straight clearance for a 20ft container and 150 feet for a 40ft, plus 14 feet of overhead clearance.

Question 8

Can you modify a container I already own?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send a customization request with your ZIP code and we'll quote on-site or in-shop work.

Question 9

How long can I rent a container?

Accepted Answer

As long as you need. Rentals are billed monthly with a one-month minimum.
