How do I pay for my newly purchased container?

To ensure a seamless delivery process, all containers are invoiced and require full payment prior to dispatch. Prompt payment secures and confirms your order, guaranteeing timely fulfillment.

Will condensation build up on my goods stored in the container?

Did you know that soft furnishings such as sofas, mattresses, couches, etc. contain moisture? If you are storing products that have moisture already present in them, and your container is going to be left untouched for an extended period of time, it is wise to consider using a dry pole which absorbs moisture from the air within the container. Ask your sales rep for details.

How should prepare my site before the delivery of a container?

Your container must be placed on solid firm ground with clear access for the truck to deliver. If the container is placed in a paddock or grassy area, keeping it off the ground using railway sleepers or blocks is best. Allowing air to circulate under the container will reduce the risk of moisture, rust and subsequent damage to the container.

Can I send my container overseas?
