Questions
What does a quote include?
The converted unit, the options you chose and the freight to your zip code. Freight is charged at the carrier's rate.
Can you deliver to my zip code?
We ship across the United States. If your site is hard for a truck to reach, say so in the form and we will check before we quote.
Can I choose the layout?
Yes. Tell us where you want the door, windows and power points. We confirm the layout in your quote.
Do I need a permit?
Rules differ by city and county. Ask your local planning office whether a container office or cabin needs a permit, and where it can be placed, before you order.
How long does it take?
It depends on the conversion and the carrier's schedule. Your quote includes an estimate.
How is the unit delivered?
Most units arrive on a tilt-bed truck that slides the unit onto the ground, with no equipment needed on site. Flatbed and customer-assist delivery are also possible. Your quote says which one applies.
Which way will the doors face?
You choose. Tell us which way the doors should face once the unit is on the ground, and we set the orientation on the trailer.
Do you sell new and used containers?
Yes. We sell new (one-trip) and used containers, plain or converted. Say which condition you want in the quote form, or choose not sure and we will explain the options.
What do the condition grades mean?
New (one-trip) containers have made a single ocean trip. Used cargo-worthy containers are structurally sound for sea shipping. Used wind and watertight containers keep out wind and rain, but may show more wear. Your quote states the grade of the unit.
