How is payment made?
Once you have ordered your shipping container, Container Ease will issue you an invoice. Once your invoice is paid via check, money order, wire transfer, cash, or credit card, Container Ease will release your container to you or to the trucking company making your delivery.
How should I prepare the ground for delivery?
Your shipping container should be placed on firm, dry, level ground, i.e. pavement, gravel, or hard dirt. If your container is being delivered by flatbed trailer, you will need a crane or forklift onsite at the time of delivery so you can lift the container off the truck.
How are the shipping containers delivered?
Container Ease outsources its delivery service to third-party trucking companies. Containers can be delivered by either flatbed, tilt-bed, low-boy (low-bed) trailer, or chassis. Please note container delivery by flatbed, low-boy (low-bed) trailer, or chassis requires a forklift or crane at the delivery site. Alternatively, you can arrange for pick-up at Container Ease using a trucking company of your choice.
Does my container require a survey report?
If you are using the container for international shipping it will require a physical inspection and certification by a third-party container surveyor. Container Ease can facilitate this process.
How does Container Ease grade used shipping containers?
IICL: (As recommended by the International Institute of Container Lessors.) IICL used shipping containers meet the highest quality, uniform standards and are suitable for prolonged international marine use, ground level storage, and modifications.
Cargo-worthy: – (Not repaired or maintained in accordance with IICL guidelines.) Cargo-worthy used shipping containers are a great option for ground level storage and modifications. These used containers are also suitable for international marine use, but first need to be physically inspected and certified by a third-party container surveyor. These shipping containers may have minor surface rust and dents.
Wind and watertight: (A slightly lower standard than cargo-worthy.) These used shipping containers may not meet international marine use standards but are wind and water-tight, and a good choice for ground level storage. These shipping containers may have minor surface rust and dents.
As is where is: As is where is containers are sold in their current condition, which can include dents, rust, holes in the floor, and other interior irregularities or missing components. Suitable for fencing, walls, barriers, and other non-transportation applications.
