Shipping Container FAQs: Delivery, Pricing, and Requirements

How quickly will I receive my quote?

Our free quotes are typically provided within one hour during business hours (Monday to Friday). Requests submitted on weekends will be returned on the next business day.

What are your payment terms?

Payment is required prior to delivery.

  • Standard containers: Full payment before delivery
  • Custom containers: 50% deposit upfront, remaining balance due before delivery

Accepted payment methods: Credit card (3.3% processing fee applies), Cash, Check, E-Check, Wire transfer

How soon can my container be delivered?

Most deliveries are completed within 3 to 5 business days after your order is confirmed, depending on weather and availability.

Do you offer custom container modifications?

Yes, we specialize in custom container modifications to meet a variety of needs.

Common modifications include:

  • Roll-up or man doors
  • Windows and ventilation
  • Electrical and lighting
  • Insulation and interior finishes
  • Custom layouts for business or personal use

If you have a specific idea in mind, reach out and we can walk you through your options.

How much space is needed for delivery?

Our containers are delivered using a tilt-bed truck, which requires adequate space for safe placement.

Minimum requirements:

  • 14 feet of overhead clearance
  • 12 feet of width clearance
  • Up to 100 feet of straight-line space (for larger containers like 40 ft)

If your space is limited, a smaller truck may be available for 20 ft containers. Let us know in advance if access is tight or the turning radius is limited.

How long does delivery take?

Most deliveries are completed in 30 minutes or less.

If delivery or pickup exceeds one hour on-site, a $75/hour fee will apply for additional time.

To avoid delays:

  • Ensure someone is present at the scheduled time
  • Prepare the site in advance
  • Share photos of the delivery area if you’re unsure about access

Note: If the driver becomes stuck, the customer is responsible for towing or dry run fees.

What should I know about my delivery site?

Containers can be placed directly on the ground as long as the area is:

  • Level
  • Well-drained

An uneven surface can make the container doors difficult to open and close.

Do you offer container relocation services?

At this time, we do not provide container relocation services.

Do I need a permit for a storage container?

Permit requirements vary by city and county.

While many areas do not require permits, it is your responsibility to check with your local municipality and secure any required approvals or fees.

What is the lead time for custom containers?

Custom container projects typically have a lead time of around 6 weeks, depending on the scope of work.

A 50% deposit is required to begin, with the remaining balance due before delivery.

Can I transport the container myself?

Yes. You may arrange your own pickup using your trailer, as long as payment has cleared prior to collection.
