Delivery in the United States

Delivery is included in the price

Every price on the United States storefront includes delivery to a kerbside location in the contiguous 48 states. There is no separate freight charge at checkout. Delivery to Alaska, Hawaii and US territories is quoted individually.

Where your container ships from

Units are held in stock at three yards and shipped from the one nearest to you:

  • West Coast: 2500 Navy Way, Los Angeles, CA 90731
  • South: 12621 Port Road, Pasadena, TX 77586
  • East Coast: 5080 McLester Street, Elizabeth, NJ 07207

Lead times

Standard containers are usually delivered within 3 to 10 business days of payment, depending on distance from the yard. Specialised units (refrigerated, open-top, side-door, office) may take longer; the lead time is confirmed when the delivery is booked. We call ahead to agree a delivery window.

How the container is delivered

Standard delivery is by tilt-bed truck, which slides the container off onto level ground. Where the unit must be lifted over an obstacle or placed precisely, a crane truck is used. Tell us at the time of ordering if the site needs a crane, so the right vehicle is sent.

What the site needs

  • Access for a truck up to 70 ft long with a turning radius to match; no low branches, tight gates or soft ground.
  • Firm, level ground where the unit will sit. Railroad ties, concrete blocks or a gravel pad keep the container off wet ground.
  • For a tilt-bed delivery, clear straight-line space of roughly twice the container length in front of the final position.
  • Someone present to sign for the delivery and note any damage on the paperwork.

If the truck cannot reach or place the unit on arrival, a re-delivery charge applies, so please check access before ordering. The site access confirmation on the order form is your confirmation that you have.

Sales tax

Prices exclude sales tax. Where we are required to collect it for the delivery state, it is added to the invoice and shown separately.
