Shipping Container Delivery
Shipping container delivery usually takes 1 to 2 weeks from the day you pay, with a rush option if you need it sooner. Every container arrives on a 40-foot trailer, even a 20', so the drop spot needs room for the truck to pull in, set it down, and pull back out.
We deliver every size to all 48 contiguous states. If you have your own truck, you can pick up at the depot instead.

What Your Site Needs
Every container ships on a 40-foot trailer, whether it's a 20' or a 40'. Before delivery day, walk the route from the road to the spot. A truck pulling a 40-foot trailer has to get in, set the container down, and get back out.
Tight backyard? For a 20', we can check whether a driver near you has a shorter trailer. It isn't available everywhere, and in some locations it costs extra.
Rules for placing a container on your property vary by city, county, and HOA. Check with your local zoning office before delivery.
Picking It Up Yourself
If you have your own truck, you can pick the container up at the depot. Within 5 business days of payment, we send you a release number. Call the depot with it to set a pickup time.
Some locations offer rush pickup within 1 business day. In Utah, pickup is in Salt Lake City.
Paying for Delivery
In most areas, you pay on delivery by credit card, debit card, or Zelle. You can also pay ahead by e-check, Zelle, wire transfer, mailed check, or card, and we take purchase orders.
If the billing ZIP on your card is different from the delivery ZIP, our fraud team will contact you to confirm the order before it ships.
